Do we need to make any changes for the do-or-die final vs Essendumb?
IN's:
Wirrpunda
Glass
OUT's:
Haynes/Munro
Humm
Lets hope Cox will pull up ok. Haven't heard an injury report yet.
Will Rowan Jones be ready? What about Gaspar? Fletch?
I think Humm deserves another game.
I think Haynes and Munro should get dropped, Cox didn't look too good, so he might not be playing either.
Haynes and Munro will no doubt be dropped. Humm may hang on and i expect Doogs to get another game. Wirrpunda, Carroll, Fletcher, Glass, Williams are all names that could come back into the side.

I thought Munro did well and Humm very well - hard to drop them after that, though Woosha has been brave on these things all year.
If fit, Wirrpunda and Fletcher will surely play. Cox looks unlikely on a six day break and Haynes did little to deserve a spot. But match-ups will be important too. We should win the ruck anyway and have a faster midfield, but we'll have to think how to play Colonial.
Andrew Williams was disgraceful for West Perth in our Elimination Final against East Fremantle and I suspect he may be traded.

Got to agree with you there.
And yes Williams was very poor...in fact looked alf asleep. I think he may well be carrying a back injury though.
I can't see anyone trading for him though and he's not out of contract. Incidentally, to my chagrin Harding and Taylor both have another year of their contracts left.
In: (pending fitness) Wirrpunda, Fletcher, Jones
Out: Munro, Haynes, and probably Humm
the other change which might eventuate is if the ankle keeps him from playing, either Lynch or Carrol for Cox, to keep our tall stocks high- anyone remember the WC-Essendon game earlier this season? We dominated for much of the first half because they just didn't have enough defensive talls.

I'm sure that's not right about Harding & Taylor, Frodo.
My God, it had better not be right about Harding.
With Andrew Williams, maybe he was carrying an injury, but that just wasn't good enough. He gave no second effort at all. I wouldn't be surprised if he's suffering from "Frasersickness" and equally would think that Mick at Collingwood and possibly Hawthorn could fit him in somewhere. It's a pity as I've always liked him, but that just wasn't on on Saturday.

Yeah..I think we have to go tall and exploit thier height down back. We actually have a really good crack because...their ruck is pathetic and if our midfield get on top...watch out!

We beat them last time, so we know our guys can do it. Its just a matter of them being confident enough to turn it on in away games.

They are in for a good chance even though we are away. Finals are different. This is do or die. They proved last week they wanted to win, now they know they can do it.
It will be a close game. Too many have written us off, but there have always been upsets.
