[Yello Mit]

Webster should be in, not Polak.

But apart from that, I'm pretty excited that we'll win tomorrow. :)

[Reveler]

IF we win Yello Mit, will you go to sydney?

[blockerhall]

Christ. That is my holy trinity of umpires holding pineapples with rough ends.

[Yello Mit]

If ya can lend about 20, maybe 30 bucks, then yes Reveler. :P

[Kapow!!!]

Poor Webster

[wizard_9]

IF we win i think i will seriously look at going over.

[dugrene]

Imo Polly hasnt got the game yet. He was lost playing against Port even though he tried to get into it.

Webster in, we'll need another hard nut around the back line.

[dominguez]

I'll be surprised if Polak plays. Murphy deserves his spot, bringing in Polak aswell would be too many talls. Either Webster or Medhurst will play. The team has played better since Medders was dropped but for some reason I'm confident he'll play well if he's in the 22. A strong performance in September would increase his trade value.

I have this gut feel thay Justin may be under a bit of a cloud so it could be Luke for Webster at the last moment.

Pav to start in the midfield to throw the double / triple teaming out.

my thoughts exactly

[Undertaker]

IMHO I believe Polak,Murphy & Webster will all play, either Longmuir or Schammer out. I hope it's the latter.

[fat wombat]

If Polak plays can the team cover him? He's too slow at ground level and decision making and doesn't have the game for a fast paced finals match.

I would be absolutely stoked if Webster got the gig!

[Kapow!!!]

I would be absolutely stoked if Webster got the gig!

You and me both. Webster copes well with the pressure and rises to the occassion, tough nut to cover the Melbourne midfield.

Polak I regard highly after the EF final because when it seemed like nobody could hold a mark, Polak still could. Pity he missed a couple of marks at CHF that would've gotten us right back into the game though.

Agree Wombat. Fairly or unfairly, I reckon a factor in our winning streak was the omission of Walker, Polak and Medders from the team. Would be happy for all three to be emergencies and have Webster out there.
