This is going to be a good game,

The issue for EP and the coaching panel will be what do they do with a couple of the players who were perhaps found out last week. 

McCreadie is due back, and does he walk straight into the team, personally my response would be yes, all the reports I have been given is that he will make a difference. 

Do a couple of reserves players deserve to be promoted.

Macreadie in and Amerduri out.Amerduri looked proppy last week but still had more possessions then Robbo.
We lose this one and we might slip out of the five.The next few weeks will show how much we have improved or whether we have just shuffled the deckchairs.

I can't see any valid reason why we can't win,we did after all have a comfortable 26 point win in a lowscoring affair the last time we met,and we're going into this match with a much deeper midfield.Also another positive for us is the absence of Jack Buller,as last week we once again struggled to handle Peels power forwards Treacy and Middleton,and it will be interesting to see the debut of key back MACREEDIE who showed impressive form in the pre season,and he may finally be the answer to fill the void of the quality key defender.We will certainly win enough of the ball,but the midfielders ability to impact the scoreboard will be the vital key to victory,as we found out the hard way last week how we struggle to score when they don.t.

The selections are not surprising even tho' I said some players might be at risk, it seems that Mr McQueen is a coach that sticks by his decisions and give players a chance to rebound.

Randall through the reserves is a good selection, talking to one of the players they reckon this player is a 'a bull' (their words). 

Can we win, yep but somethings need to go our way but that is required in any game.

Gone very quite on here boys ???

Unfortunately or fortunately for some I have lost a lot of interest in posting anything on here and other opinion sites. It has nothing to do with the EP results or outcomes, I remain positive abt the future of the season and going forward but find myself wondering abt why I bother!

I read with interest most of the contributions for others like Mike, Freez et al but cringe at some of other stuff put forward from some who believe they are they can write what is really just rubbish!

Grump it would be a real shame if you stopped posting as your contributions over the years have been a reason why this site remains relevant.Human nature is such that you get the good posters and then the not so good.All of us just have to take it in our stride.If your post is the result of a bad day that's fine - you're entitled.If it's a little more terminal that would really be unfortunate as you clearly love your club,are a passionate WAFL person and the site needs your posts.

Here here, the site would be poorer without contributions from people like Grump.

One thing I have learnt from many years of posting on this site is that you have to try and separate genuine banter from nasty personal stuff. Disagree on the issues all you like but once it becomes a personal attack just switch off from it.

For me overall it has been a positive experience commenting on this site and interacting with most of the posters and I think we have to remember that OFA does all the heavy lifting in terms of keeping the site going and we are getting the privelege of commenting on our WAFL teams without having to pay a cent, so it is like we are all guests in someone elses house and like it or not we have to abide by their rules. But we can choose who we talk to and who we don't.

Excellently said Mikeh.

Thanks Mikeh but it is like lots of things these days there are always a few who make it difficult to put up with some of the crap!
