TOPIC:

The Peel colts team ran the much vaunted Gummies to only fall 10 points short which suggests that if EF are as good as published the colts game will be something worthy of a visit. To early to call a result but given our game against Subi's colts I reckon we will do alright.

A six goal defeat against EF may suggest that the well isn't all that deep down at Mandurah and with our fighting comeback win against Subi I reckon we can do the job required.

EF beat Peel which either suggests that EF are good or that the crabs are just like their AFL team soft shelled crabs. We will not have Mr Jones but Tom Amos will step up and do what is required. I think that Stan Wright will come in and be a welcome addition.

It looks like you'll be without Robertson this week as he was suspended for one match for whacking Delahunty. Our Stainsby copped two weeks for his tackle on T E-B which from what I saw of it is fair enough. There was a fair bit of niggle in that game and reckon your Kuek and our Braut were both lucky to get a slap on the wrist.

Grump, pretty sure EF colts will be doing well to play finals TBH..all media hype me thinks....though EF colts did come from 2-3 goals down at 3/4 time to beat Peel. From that EP colts win over Subi, either Subi are not a patch on last year's premiership side or EP are a very good side who will go deep in the colts comp this year.

I reckon with Freo's growing injury list, Peel will always be vulnerable....I think EP should have no probs v Peel this week...definitely a good time to be playing Peel i reckon

I reckon that Nicholas Merritt might be worth a go at FF, seems to have what a good forward needs, takes a good mark more often than not and kick straight when he got the opportunity

unless they select a extra tall i don't see merritt getting a game.i suspect ajang will be number one ruck so sebit or somebody else will need to be a back up ruckman.don't like the idea  of sebit being the back up ruck as he needs to concentrate on his forward craft.tom amos is just not a forward for my liking.eddie simpson played forward/ruck last year so i would give him another chance.time to give allsop a go with tbe out for a couple of weeks and stan or cooley for robbo.peel are not flush with dockers at the moment but we need to be careful we don't under estimate them.

East Perth by 19 points

To use the old cliche favoured by "keep-a-lid-on-it" coaches, Southerner, I'll be happy if East Perth takes the four points.
 

saw a bit of the first half later on that day - very impressive in parts but particularly early in the game

I'll have East Perth by 19 points if not more that is mate

I hope it's more, Southerner.
Game-ending injuries to Jones and Edwards-Baldwin, reducing East Perth's bench to two for almost three quarters, proved costly.
Not saying the Royals would've beaten Subi, but if we'd had a four-man bench I reckon the game would've gone down to the metaphorical wire.

Seems to be only the two changes. Who it will be on the day will be an interesting choice.
