Ok onwards and upwards , we have a home game at Metricon and another hard one , saying that all games are hard for us. There seems to be 4 to 5 changes each week , heres my take.

In - Harbrow , Martin , Saad , Nicholls , Hallahan
Out - Gaz , Glenn , Lemmens , Thompson , Shaw

Thompson will be needed against the Eagles' tall forwards. Glenn, Lemmens & Shaw should be nervous.

6 day break and the longest road trip in footy. West Coast are ripe for the picking. Their backline is further decimated with no McGovern and they've yet to play a team with two genuine talls. One of Lynch or Dixon can get on top.

Jack Martin still has a 1 week senior suspension to serve.

I'll take your two and raise you one, Richmond - Vickery - Griffiths - Riewoldt. Let alone Sydney on the weekend against Schofield and a first gamer in Barrass, had Goodes and Reid. Both you'd consider talls.

Are you really hanging your hat on backline victories over Vickery, Griffiths and Sam Reid? None of those three are proven tall forwards. Granted Lynch and Dixon are no Lucas/Lloyd combination yet but its the closest your backline will face to a genuine 2 talls forward line.

I am merely correcting/questioning your ignorant or uneducated previous comment.
You stated we have not played against a team with 2 tall genuine tall forwards and i gave you two examples, you then retorted with this gibberish about Lucas/Lloyd. Have you ever heard of P Ryder and J Schulz ?
I love these posters that appear out of nowhere when their team starts winning. Uneducated? Ignorant? They're actually called opinions.

Poster on training wheels, so give him/her a bit of leeway.

Have to agree that we haven't played a genuine 2 tall KPP forward line and we have a had a dream run meeting sides with injuries in that area. This will be more interesting than many think.

Can't resist, but when you finally start winning games you will get to pop over onto other boards (perhaps just not the GWS Board for the next 6 years);)

Well than i guess we will be 'popping' over to the eagles board come Saturday night. ;):D



Seriously though, it is a shame that there have been so many injuries, from both sides. This game would have been a great shoot-out. (Which we would have won obviously.):)
