TOPIC:

The whole squad were poor in the preseason TFAF. But to be fair Sean Lynch has been pretty good on the opening 3 games of the season and for me does deserve his chance sooner rather than later. As far as the changes go 2 are a given. Moody back in is a definite and we need a ruckman, there's two changes and possible the inclusion of Ben Power as a back up ruckman/key position player. If the side is serious then each player should be able to come in and know there role.

Guys I haven't got anything against any of these players that you say should come in in fact I thought Sinclair was very good last year and I always talk to his dad at the game. However 2 or 3 good games in the reserves (who are 1 and 2 btw) doesn't warrant a quick return to the League side. People like Murray Couper played around 70 games of reserves. If these guys mentioned are too impatient and think they are a walk up start then they should be given a better education.

3 or 4 games in a row as bog in a winning team is an automatic inclusion nothing else.

I wouldn't like to see more than the two changes this week.

Man you are living in the dark ages and I doubt you were even around when Murray Cooper was playing. So your theory is if a player gets 30 possessions in the magoos but they lose, then he hasn't done enough to warrant selection? By the way the ressies were down to 21men from early in the game. Richardson and Hug got a paltry 7 possessions each on a perfect day for football. That is unacceptable numbers for any midfielder.

Look my main premiss is that too many changes are not good for stability.

You have mentioned Hug and Richardson and Moody will replace one of them. I think the other should stay to gain some confidence and leave the team with some stability as we already have a forced change with Leyendeckers going down.

Just my thoughts and nothing to do with living in the dark ages.

OK guys, think about this.....
1. Of all players named only Richo and Matt Hunt are also listed with the ressies. They will probably play with the magoos.
2. Ben Power should lead the ruck with Sticks as backup. I see plenty of upside in Power and will be watching him closely tomorrow.
3. Leeson comes in for Richo.
4. Interchange to be Houghton, C Morton, G Ugle, N Kane
5.Missing out will be Hunt, Florio (time for him to toughen up), Hug (Has a way to go before best 22), Richo (Needs a lot of work on skills and decision making).

Win tomorrow...2nd. Lose...6th.

Yes a very congested ladder at the moment. The team that wins tomorrow will be in a good position as they will have a game in hand of all the teams near them apart from East Fremantle.

Becoming a very important game for both sides - a very handy 4 points up for grabs

Actually a draw could still be very handy too

Need to approach each game with expectation.
My expectation is to win tomorrow.
No reason why we can't.
The players need the same expectation.
We have played some pretty good footy, so no excuses.
