TOPIC:

Plenty of options Teddy or Ransted for the whichever of Richardson/Medhurst that Sketcher doesn't take.

Did I say Ransted???

Shite.

Yes he was pretty good last week.

Cesspit, I think we now have some options down back, up forward & in the midfield, with other bloke knocking on the door.

Good position to be in I reckon and hasn't been so very often in the past couple of decades or so.

Injury possibly. He did get a ankle injury v Subi and had to play out the game in the forward line but didnt seem to worry him v Peel but who knows
Will be handy for Perth if he is out. Will have to have a look at the Team lists tomorrow night.

If he is injured he's still playing pretty well. If it is his ankle, does this affect his ability to move around the ground? If so we might have to tell whoever is rucking against him at the time to hurt him going the other way and maybe make him accountable?

Yep one would think that he'd have to play up forward to fill the void.

This weekend is 4 weeks since he did his hamstring. It didn't look to be a serious injury and just the stock standard 3 weeks so I would say that he'd be extremely close to playing this weekend. If he's not then it would have to surely be next week. If still no then the question that has to be asked is if the hamstring is more seriously injured than we first thought.

Up forward in the reserves and the midfield their are players playing pretty well. Keeps the league boys on their toes and they have to perform to the standard that is required otherwise other players can come in and take their position.

Good luck to the Demons this week.

Last time Perth started a season 5-1 was in 1978. They were 4-1-1 in 1986 and 4-2, in 1988,91 & 97.

According to the team list on the budget from round 7 and round 8, last week we had 37 players listed in the league squad and this week we have 36. The outs are Brant Colledge, Tyler Chrimes and Daniel Arangio while the ins are Joel Leeson and Sean Holland.

Good feature story by Ross Lewis in the budget too. Go to the media tonic link to view! Puts alot of the reason for Perth 2013 success down to Marty and the assistant coaches helping out McMahon. new fitness coach has also played a big part by the sound of it.
