TOPIC:

Not really worried if Mzungu plays or not ,more interested in how many talls we will play especially if its going to be wet. If Sinclair had been available we may have been inclined to go in a bit top heavy and this may solve that. Anyway all these AFL players are only a bonus for this year as they will all be looking for a spot at EP or Peel next year.

League Squad - No point putting them in positions yet. Three players to be cut.

1-Bristow, 2-Kerr, 6-Forrest, 7-Kayler-Thomson, 8-Worthington, 9-Parker, 10-C DeLuca, 11-Hampson, 14-Mahoney, 15-Phelan, 17-Daye, 18-Davey, 19-Stevenson, 20-Wheeler, 21-McDougall, 23-Rumble, 24-D Sheed, 25-Leishman, 27-Herring, 33-Moore, 38-Martin, 39-Daniels, 42-Madut, 47-Bogensperger, 56-Wood

Hooray - some changes.
Very sad news about Sinclair - Ithink I might have to change my tips.

Hey fellas. Looking forward to the game tomorrow...make sure the beers are cold although by the look of the weather not too cold!

Just wanted to get some feedback on what the feeling around the club is for this game against Perth. You have picked up a couple of our players and officials.....do you think there will be any more feeling in the game?

Good luck tomorrow............From all accounts you'll probably need it!

Subi will win by about 5 goals if its wet, about 10 goals if its fine!

PC word down at leederville is they have had to get the old goal net out of retirement and place it up behind the goals. Apparently the ground manager is worried perth will kick that many goals theres a chance Subis gate takings will be eroded in lost balls alone!

Not sure what you're basing that on Po Cocko me boy.

But I sure hope you're telling the players that.

I wonder who will be the 3 players cut from the 25? I'm guessing Madut, Wood and Worthington. But who knows.

Ben thats one of the better lists so far this year, not sure of the placements but would look at Clanger and Mcdougal changing out of a forward pocket if it's wet, if dry I'd add either Madut or Martin and run a threeway through FF & The bench, that might stretch Perth's big man stocks.

For us to win our mids will have to improve significantly and consistently over the 4 qtrs as perth has proven they will run the game out. perth have had our measure over the past 3 or 4 years even when they were totally crap they seem to pull out a big effort against us. Need to shut down Bevan and Stack to have any chance.

Yeah, I've wanted that 3 way ruck/Fwd/Bench combo all year. I really believe in it. It's our potential strength over the opposition. I just don't feel the selectors agree.

It could be done easily but it would mean that Herring plays ressies. But I'll wait and check the paper tomorrow.
