Don't know why. They are kidding themselves if they think we can win the premiership.
The ironic thing being that we'd probably have more of a chance of winning the flag if we weren't playing these senior spuds. Experience doesn't mean shit if you're still crap.

Just need to win 1 of the next 2 to confirm a top 4 spot.

Will Naitanui and Sinclair be available next week?

If yes then

In - Naitanui, Sinclair
Out - McGovern, Lycett

What mids are available that are dominating WAFL? They could replace Selwood.

Lecras gets off does he? I didnt see it but i do know that selwood, naitanui, shuey and "ginners" haven't had great derbies recently.

Barrass is the obvious inclusion if Gov is missing, we won't go in with only 1 KPD.
No way will Sheed be omitted after being arguably BOG last week. Will need a forward to come in, I'd prefer to give Lamb a run, but probably too tall, so Hill is the only real option as medium forward. Sinkers should come in if he's okay, Lycett would be unlucky. If NN is available, he'll come in, otherwise Lycett stays in. If NN and Sinkers are somehow both still unavailable, maybe Nelson or Bennell to come in I suppose (don't really want both McGinnity and Hutchings in the team). No idea how Lycett will do on his own for the whole game if that happens, Yeo might help out again like he did tonight(!).
In: Barrass, Hill, Naitanui, Sinclair
Out: McGovern, LeCras, Lycett, McGinnity

Wasn't too impressed with any of our small backs tonight.
Thought Ellis butchered the ball, Butler refused to initiate contact and fumbled the ball a lot, Rosa played mid (?) when he came on and Wellingham probably had his worst game for the year. Of those four Wellingham is the first selected.
I wouldn't be opposed to Bennell and Nelson replacing two of the others.

Lecras will go 3rd strike at the least but it wasnt really stupid. He didnt bang in he just braced in bumping motion for contact so didnt go through him.

I assume hill is straight in for him and barrass for the gov. Selwood mcg and hutch are still all too limited to be in the same team. So hopefully nic but sinclair in for one of the trio though rosa may be on the chop if he was sub

I would assume after his mothers funeral? Seems like a strange question really.

I know footy is irrelevant to Nic and his family ATM and all we all are thinking of him and his family. According to wiki Fijian funerals go for over 10 days so maybe not available next week.

The death has the "Reguregu", which is the lead-up to the burial, where all the friends and extended family come to pay their respects. The presentation etiquette utilises Mats, Yaqona and Tabua and varies from province to province. After several days of this the actual burial takes place and Mats and masi are placed over the grave site. The death is commemorated at the burial ceremony and again on the fourth and tenth nights thereafter. One hundred days after the death the mourning is lifted and the various Taboos, or in Fijian Tabu, are lifted from the family members in what is called the Vakataraisulu ceremony. The grave site is then cemented in. A further ceremony is held one year later. Each of the gatherings mentioned above include both the mother's and the father's sides being brought together.

Hope you guys don't mind me posting on your board.... I sure FP will let me know if you do

Nelson in to play on Walters (has done ok on him twice), Barrass in for Gov, and i spose hill for Le cras

Really?
He was subbed off after having a poor game and our MC tends to favour seniority over anything else when it comes to the crunch. Not saying I want Sheed to be dropped, no way in the world
