Bullshit

hahaha...ya got me terror

If I'm in error, the players chosen, the game played and the Head and subordinates coaches decisions prove a positive choice in all aspects with a WIN for WA

I will happily have my apology on these pages Big and Bold for all to see, comment or ignore as they see fit.

My opinions are my own and I stand by them ...

Larry Bird wrote: Out of interest Growler how do Johnson's stats for disposals, marks, goals, tackles stack up against Kuenen this year. Not to mention that in some games Jonhson has not rucked as much as past years.

Nothing against Johnson personally as he is seems like a decent bloke and handy

Chris is definately the Best Performing ruckman in the WAFL at the moment.
BOG V EF last week 16 disposals included 12 kicks so good on the ground as well
43 Hitouts which is around average per game.. 4 Inside 50's
That within it self tells the story..
v EF had 34 HO against Lycett and Johnson.

But having said all that what difference does it make.. I didnt know he hadnt been selected but as Growler said he wasnt listed on the player profiles in the Footy Budget which would of been printed a couple of days ago?

Gotta move on and get out of the politics as it is a State game and I am sure a lot of people from other WAFL clubs that dont miss a game are scratching their heads about some of the other selections...
The rest will do him good. Shame he has missed out on a State Jumper this year but has one from the NEAFL game.

WAFL V NEAFL

interesting you say Keunen was BOG...Rob Young had 16 disposals, 6 marks, 42 hit outs and 4 inside 50s...go figure

Amesy played last year and had to come home on the train after getting a punctured lung, some poor bugger will probably cop an injury.

On statistics Keunen would be my fourth pick.

Bit strange some of the omissions but that's Rep footy for you - We'll have to run the SA off their feet and definitely stop them bogging the game down to scrums
Lathlain is a big ground spread the bastards wide and make them run
Forward line could be the worry if it doesn't click

Apparently Young got all these stats when Keunen was having a spell BC......amazing what a fella can accumulate in 5 min of footy......incredible to think Young isn't a specialist ruckman and Keunen is.......but dont tell Cardy that! ........but I agree on performances this year Keunen deserves a gig on Sat in front of Johnson......Johnson has had assistance from the likes of Lycett and Sinclair throughout the year, whilst Keunen is on his todd at WP and has been for years!

Pointing at the scoreboard WP won by 30 odd points... Wakey Wakey
Chris Clubs fairest and best which led to the victory.

Why some of you losers were sniping and talking shit The final side has come out

23 players a side for this one. A one off. WA/SA has listed 24 so someone will miss out from both sides

Both states have named teams of 24 for the game including emergencies. The WAFL's sqaud has been cut from 27, with 2014 State captain Brendan Lee (East Perth) withdrawing due to injury concerns last night and talented pair Leroy Jetta (Peel) and Chris Keunen (West Perth) both unlucky to miss out on selection.
