Out : Shuey + Hill
In : Colledge + Hutchings

Duggan to play the full game, Colledge to start as sub. Hutchings to tag Griffen.
 
Colledge had an average game yesterday so not sure if he is guaranteed. Either him or Waterman is ok with me. Will probably get the vest whoever it is.
 
out: shuey (inj.), masten
in: colledge? hutch?


would love to see a message sent to masten. it won't happen, but his lack of intensity at the contest is becoming hard to ignore.
colledge has probably earned a call-up with wafl form. playing against the gws kids, if not now, then when?
it would be the brave call. the conservative call would be to bring in hutch or mcginnity.

Bit rough, Hill kicked 3 and applied excellent pressure all game.

We can't play too many forwards with our poor midfield, that is going back to the Worsfold days. We need more midfield rotations. Kennedy, Cripps, Lecras, McInnes, Hill and Lycett is 1 forward too many. Today was a walk in the park but up against the better midfields we get smashed and we need to constantly rotate players through the midfield to keep the pressure on.

So the options are to drop Hill or drop Lycett and play McInnes as a fwd/ruck. Hill is not part of our next premiership team while Lycett might be, so Lycett gets a couple of more games to prove himself. If Lycett continues to struggle then Sinclair comes in to replace him.

Hill is only 26
 
A bit out of left field, but...

Out: Shuey (inj)
In: Waterman

B: Nelson, McGovern, Schofield
HB: Hurn, McInnes, Butler
C: Gaff, Priddis, Rosa
HF: LeCras, Hill, Masten
F: Cripps, Kennedy, Lycett
R: Naitanui, Sheed, Yeo
I: Sheppard, Wellingham, Duggan
S: Waterman
E: Sinclair, Colledge, McGinnity

Duggan into the 21 for Shuey. Trying to think who would be a suitable sub - don't think Colledge would. Waterman's worth a go.

Like it. Waterman's played three straight games of WAFL seniors hasnt he?
 
From the Simmo post-game presser. Paraphrased unless "in quotes":

- Pleased to get the win - our effort last week was disappointment
- Had a big focus on start of the game, which we did well
- Went off the ball in Q2
- Conditions were tougher than they looked, but some "sloppy play"
- Shuey "rolled his ankle" .. "on the better side" of things
- He'll maybe go for scans, we're hoping he pulls up well - we think it's just a rolled ankle
- Basic errors from both sides - we made more of them Brisbane, but not good
- Both young sides, both beset with injuries - we're looking forward to getting players back
- You want your team to turn up hungry. Teams that start well in modern game start really well. We waited last week and were punished for it.
- [Question re Sheed specifically] - 1st half was good. Dropped away a bit in the second as young players can do.
- Liam had 11 touches in the last quarter - very impressive.
- McInnes had a good start and overcame some early nerves. Was a pretty good debut.
- [On question re Yeo] - we want him in the midfield more. He breaks tackles which we need. Today we were able to put him in the mid and he had "pretty good presence"
- Backline is still a work in progress. We have lots of things to work on across the board.
- If we turn up with intent we did today, we'll give ourselves every chance.
- Wellingham did "a pretty good job" down back today
- Rosa went down back to help free up Hurn at times
- Hutchings is "not far off", Brant "getting a lot of the ball", Barrass and Sinclair are starting to get the feel for defence
- Depending on injuries today, there will be a few guys putting their hands up
- [On GWS] - they're a legitimate hard-running and contested team. They're up and about - big challenge for us.
- Teams are measured by how they handled pressure - we need to do more there, more consistently.
 
Not against giving Colledge a run, just depends on if the Shue can't go. Otherwise I'd probably keep the lineup as is and see if we can build some consistency.
