TOPIC:

This should be an interesting game given the WaCkERs have kicked only 20 goals in the first 2 rounds and 10 of those by Waterman. You'd think shut him down and their scoring dries up. The weather forecast ain't great so could be a low scoring slog. We'll be missing Wheeler, Newton, Rohde and Harry Marsh but could bring in Joyce, Latham, Leach and maybe Heal...also Mayo and Hickmott are pressing up as well. Given the conditions I'll go with Subi by 15 points.

Gutsy prediction there BC

Apparently a maximum temperature of only 16º forecasted for Friday with plenty of rain. Apparently most of the precipitation is due in the morning. So sounds like wet wintery conditions for the match.

BC we have the mids to cut the supply to Waterman, probably run Lith on him rather than Locks. Weather should impact on their talls more than us as we aren't a particularly tall side and our mids would be bigger and stronger than most of their rotation which will have a number of young listed boys and top up players. Need to be far more methodical and precise with our ball use which was horrendous last week, if that game was against Claremont we would have been well beaten. Should see Heal back if his recovery went well, he looked good in the ressies last week as did Latham. Would be great to see this fella back in the league team after a long struggle with injury. Given the weather it might not be the game to bring Mayo in given the wet weather, we would bring in more medium/smalls than talls to cover our growing injury list. looking forward to a good old fashion tough wet weather slog. Given WCER have no reserves or Colts I assume our boys have a bye?

Can't call them WART any more BC to the relief of East Perth. At least we've still got FART.....

One good thing about playing the Worst Case Beagles
You'll always get media coverage that no other game will get...

Good to see Newton and Heal back in.

16 Jacob MILLER
6 Rowen POWELL

So those two effectively replace Marsh and Rhode and Braden Fimmano is back in replacing Kennedy (not sure why he's out.....hope nothing serious)) whilst Fullgrabe replaces Cleggett.

Kennedy is there Ocker...I think it's Edwards-Baldwin who has dropped out to make way for Fullgrabe. The forward line looks quite settled with only Wheels missing and the likes of Mayo and young Christian Martin staking claims...the backline is where competition is starting to hot up with Heal included this week, Harry Marsh to come back in and Latham pressing up....all good signs for when we get our best 22 on the park.

hahaha...you got that right Mike. I think FART is a bit of a misnomer as Peel's footy stank until they aligned with Freo and all of a sudden they win two flags...so maybe they should have been called that from the start but don't mention that coincidence to the likes of Rookie Draft as he's still in denial.
