Official Game Day Thread - Winnipeg at Hamilton October 4, 2024

[GOLDMEMBER]

Great discussion

A win here and a Rider loss we clinch 1st place.

Let's do this!

Be nice to get a road win in The Hammer for a change. Been a while since that's happened.

[Sir Blue and Gold]

Hamilton without starting receiver Shemar Bridges, running back Greg Bell and defensive end Nick Usher tomorrow. Centre David Beard is a GTD and they're dressing backup centre Evan Johnson as a contingency.

If Demski can't go easiest thing to do would be to dress Murphy.

He showed some promise in pre -season last year. OTOH he has not made the roster this year when our receivers have been dropping like flies.

It would be the easiest choice but whether it's the best option I doubt. Some of the rookie imports have very good speed. Just a guess but I think Case or the new returner would get added. Even more so if Whitehead doesn't dress.

That's an advantage for us. I haven't seen the final Bomber depth chart but we have 2 receivers and 2 DL that may not play!! Depth at all those spots is not great due to current IR.

Only Demski is a game day decision. Everyone else is good.

Murphy has been around for a few years now and he hasn't contributed much, he looks to be a career ST player that is unlikely to see any game play. Especially now that the receiving corps. has been restocked with new blood.

Time for Ontaria to steal the ROY trophy!

I'm not sure who might be in the consideration at this point. Bonds might be another Bomber in our thoughts but I'm not sure if he's eligible.

There are very good rookies across the CFL this year and every year. He has been a very good surprise.

agree on Case forgot about him but I would personally like to see what Murphy can do even though I'm mostly curious and Case likely safer option b/c he can return

5.77 yd average 😀

" it's a passing league".   Nope.

If he ran more frequently would this go down?

Elks db did not seem eager to tackle Brady on his touchdown run the other day.

Murphy could still be added by eliminating the 2nd global player. Case would be added potentially by dropping Cole for this week. If Whitehead and Demski both don't dress it becomes an even tougher question.

Wilson, Wheatfall, Clercius are all rookies. If we have to add two more rookies, that's not good. Murphy is essentially a rookie with only 3 games in his career.

Bonds will not be eligible. He played some games in the NFL.
