Rd 17 : Pre Game polite and refined discourse - Blues v Eagles

[crashlander]

The axe hasn't really been wielded Baggers - only one omission.  Like others, I suspect Lamb and Sumner were saved by injuries and lack of depth.

I will be surprised if Curnow makes the team without really being tested in the VFL - but what would I know, I'd have Gowers in the team before Jaksch and Buckley  ???

I think Gowers stuffed up his chances with a poor one last week. Reading between the lines from the coach's review midweek, they were looking for a strong game and he didn't provided. Give us a strong game this weekend and he might just get a call-up.
Sumner was probably saved by Buckley slowing down after half time. had he been able to keep the umbers up in the 2nd half, he MIGHT have convinced enough that he was ready. As it is, he made it to an extended bench.
