AFL Teams for Round 8, 2012 – Tell’em their dreaming!

Round 8 is Indigenous Round which means that the Bombers vs Tigers match at the G this Saturday night is the Dream Time at the G match. The Bombers are flying at the moment. They took the chocolates in their match with the Eagles and come into this match second on the ladder. They have don’t this while suffering numerous soft tissue injuries but the worm, so to speak, is turning.

They are likely to see Tate Pears, Michael Hurley and David Myers all return. Hurley may be given the opportunity to return to the AFL while the other two most likely to come back through the VFL. The Tigers, on the back of a good win against the Swans, come into the match just outside the 8 but with increasing confidence. Tyrone Vickery is still touch and go as to if he returns this week. If he doesn’t come up, they need to decide if they bring in Angus Graham or if to go with Ivan Mullet Maric with Brad Miller backing up. Maric has had an excellent start to the season enjoying the number 1 gig but comes up against a flying pair in Ryder and Ballchambers.

In other selection news:

•  At the Crows, they look to welcome back Shaun McKernan from suspension but lose Coleman Medal leader, Taylor Walker. Bernie Vince is likely to be considered after returning from injury but Richard Douglas is likely to return via the SANFL
• Lions will lose Pearce Hanley to injury but could gain vice captain Jed Adcock and Ben Hudson from injury.
• Nathan Brown can’t take a trick and will be missing a few weeks with a knee injury. Chris Tarrant will return from injury but more likely through the VFL. They will have two good ins available in Chris Dawes, who is over his virus, and Dale Thomas.
• Matty Scarlett isn’t likely to be back to help turn things around for the Cats but Jimmy Bartel will likely be a great in. The Cats will lose Gillies and Christensen.
• Gold Coast not only lost the match to the Giants last week but lost young midfielder David Swallow for 4-6weeks and Charlie Dixon to a jaw injury. This could be slightly offset by the return of goal kicker Danny Stanley
• Fantasy coaches will hope that James McDonald will return for the Giants but do you make changes to a winning team?
• Word isn’t good on the idea of Luke Hodge returning this week but Josh Gibson looks almost certain. There will be at least one change with Michael Osbourne’s season ending knee injury.
• Liam Jurrah will likely end a busy day by being picked for the Demons clash this week. Jack Watts could also get a call up. Colin Sylvia will have a nervous wait to see if he is picked.
• North may get a week to have a look how they go with one less ruckman that many feel they need to look due to the injury to Hamish McIntosh. Cameron Pederson has performed well at VFL level and may replace him in the side.
• Most of the Eagles will be happy to welcome Nic Naitanui (except maybe old man Dean Cox that has enjoy more time in the ruck). They could also add back into the team Will Schofield, Adam Selwood and Ash Smith
