we are really going overboard with all these multiple changes, pre game, post game, preview threads these days
Tomorrow I plan on opening a thread to invite people to discuss which thread we like posting in most.

Correct.When we are talking about risk. If you've got a match fit Wells available for selection on Grand Final Day, it would be a far greater risk to leave him out than to include him. He's a star.
Goldy must be really struggling for Madgen to keep him out....
The same people who bagged Steel for years are now bagging Phillips.I think he cops a lot of undeserved flack about his ball use. It's not usually anywhere near as bad as many on this board suggests. But it was really bad against Sydney.
Are you calling Buckley a liar?Wells’ impact on this club being overstated again.

You really dislike Wells.
I'm a fan, just think he had a bad game against Sydney.The same people who bagged Steel for years are now bagging Phillips.
Fact is, Phillips was taken with the 58th pick. He is in his 4th season and has already notched up 60 games, and a sixth place finish in the B&F. This kid is a huge success story for us. Yet some just want to drag him down. Go figure.
Phillips was absolutely putrid last night, looking forward to when he gets pushed out of the side
Or understated.Wells’ impact on this club being overstated again.

You’ve been going on about him for 24 hours now.No I don’t.
But at some point you have to make a risk / reward assessment on Wells. To me he is no longer worth taking the risk with given the improvements in Brown and possible inclusion of Sier at some stage. After all Brown was just as important as Wells on Friday.
Seems to me that people still have a mindset of replacing Phillips, instead of realising he is an integral part of the team.Phillips was ****. So was Sidebottom for 75% of the game. It wasn't a good night for our outside guys. I reckon that's a combination of a well executed Sydney game plan that was shaped around stopping our outside ball. And the narrowness of the SCG. Plus some **** performances. I don't think Phillips is at any risk of getting dropped and probably shouldn't be in tye absence of better options right now.
If he's match fit before finals and you don't pick him, you have a loser's mentality. You're basically saying, don't play him because he may get injured which could contribute to a loss. Rather than saying, play him, he's a pretty good chance of contributing to a win. If you go in to a Grand Final trying not to lose, you've lost it before the opening bounce.No I don’t.

A half of footy was more than enough to show me that he is still about six rungs above Josh Thomas, Varcoe, and I'd still find a spot for Brown, but he's miles above Brown.Rubbish. Maybe I just don’t think he is as good as he once was and other players are just as likely contribute to a win. Brown proved that on Friday night. Wells is way past his best and just not worth the risk in my opinion. Being cavalier with selection is just plain stupid.

Hardly a shocker. He had an ok game.
He's not a good kick, but his ability to run hard and get the ball in the clear, means our ball use is still better. Phillips in the clear is still a beetter kick than a classy guy under pressure.I'd take Sidebottom's 13 every day over Phillips' 25.
Full list available, if Phillips is serving that up week in, week out then he is definitely at risk. His footskills are absolutely horrendous.
his season to date has him well entrenched in the best 22I'd take Sidebottom's 13 every day over Phillips' 25.

We would have lost if it weren't for Wells.
Credit where it's due Clay. If it were just a matter of right place right time Wills would have kicked a bag last night. Wells was a class above in a game that was played in a shoe box.
Really?
His body??
It was an IMPACT INJURY to the KNEE.
NOTHING to do with his soft tissue issues.
