Blight, Casserly, Cameron, Boekhurst ???
Blight BOG in seconds yesterday playing midfield. Cameron had a great 18's carnival, Casserly in form and making his presence felt and Boekhurst stiff to be dropped.

With a thumping win yesterday in the league and just about everyone pulling there weight ( finally !! ) , Claremont next week and a win will drop Perth off the radar for a while, who the hell's in and out this week ?

With Harding saying on 93.1 sports a week or so ago they will probably pick horses for courses from now on, do we run the risk that the above will get really pi$$ed off and do a "WES" if they don't get a look in .

Lauchie Neil probably has a real chance next week in the dockers , so that might free up 1 position.

Drop Rodgers and Elari and see how they respond.
Victorians still laugh at West Aussies because of the way we bailed out the vfl and then allowed it to be called it the AFL!

This is a good dilemma to have. This puts pressure on the league players to maintain their form and attitude.

At least these players are playing in the 2s and doing the correct thing. Unlike Wes who has spat the dummy and run home..

I agree that these blokes are doing the right thing playing 2 's , but the reason they are playing 2's is because of injury and state duties not because they are out of form.
Blight and Casserly have fully recovered ( and they both started in league before injury ) and Charlie has the ultimate recognition of being selected for his state. Can you just imagine he returns and Harding says " sorry mate were doing pretty good at the moment so you' ll have to fight your way back in through the 2's !!!
Blight and Casserly are shoe ins in any other league side , so this dilemma may result in more harm than good if you really think about it.

I have been around footy long enough to know there will always be spots that open up as the season rolls on either through injury or poor form. All of those boys Blight, Casserly, Cameron & Boekhorst are in our best 22 if fit & in form & they must take their opportunity when it arrives in the League team.

Luke Pratt should make his long awaited comeback to footy after knee injuries this week in the Ressies as well.

How about a scenario where the Simpson Medallist is dropped to the reserves two weeks after winning it. Whilst I may not always agree with Harding's selections, one could also have said that about a great number of other coaches.

As for Rogers and dropping him to the reserves, as BH pointed out he has been dropped to the reserves and responded really well in both the ressies and the league when picked for the league. No problems there.

With respect to Wes Lammie it is extremely disappointing and hopefully on reflection he may change his mind for next season.

Best of luck for Luke Pratt if he plays on Saturday; he certainly deserves some.
