If that's correct Adamson's a big loss, he's a bit of a beast at the contests, very strong and reads the play well, guys with his strength are much needed against the big bodied Freo boys. Ainsworth is all class but not a big body so maybe in a forward role with an occasional run on the ball. Bloody hell we need our very best 22 on the paddock against this mob.

Adamson will play on the weekend.

Hey BB...you're always on the money in relation to Subi's playing group...what's the go with the moon boot? just a precaution?

Thanks Buddy Boy that's good news. So obviously the moon boot is to keep his leg in cotton wool so to speak, for a faster recovery? What's the go with Clanger and Powell?

...and most importantly, Horse?

Thankfully that seems to be the case BC. Ainsworth in or not for you?

I wouldn't risk it personally DG....I'd rather go with a tried and tested performer at league level like Justin Joyce. With Horse coming in the problem will be who misses out and given we've won 19 straight wouldn't change the mix too much.

I think he would play well at any level and is possibly one that plays better the higher the level but in saying that yes its probably a safer bet to re evaluate things after this Sunday

Agree. Much as I think Ainsworth is and will become a very good player I wouldn't make his debut a final. History littered with some in the past I'm thinking Vinnie Cattagio in the 1973 ? Grand final. Others have made a difference but have usually had a few games before the finals ie Daniel Rich in 2007 and Geoff Hendricks in 1975. Shame as we probably won't see young Ainsworth again in Subi colours after this year. Just hoping doesn't end up at Peel or EP!!!

Joyce has been unlucky to be injured at wrong time. Was playing very well before that and deserves an opportunity if it arises. Was also unlucky to miss out in 2014.

Jjim, was sitting in front of his old man down at Freo and he said the lad wants to go east, cant stand the idea of playing for the Ferals or the Crabs, he's has 11 interviews and 6 clubs are chasing him very hard. Would love to see him go to one of the Melbourne clubs on the rise like the Saints or D's or even the Hawks.

I might have a piece of the action on Peel at $3.25. We only just beat them in the final seconds down at Centrelink with only a handful of Dockers in their team....with 15 of the pricks this weekend they'd have to be a good thing I'd reckon.
