Because Wellers has got a snappy haircut? Because Wellers was taken with a higher pick? Because he's better on a fookin trampoline?
IMO keep Hutchi in the team until Wellers starts playing better than him. IMO that won't happen. You need some good team players in this team not flash accident prone "look at moi" guys who pick up easy kicks .... and then don't kick straight anyway.
I may be a bit one eyed about this but let's reward the guy who's putting in for the team.
Hutchings needs to play and start, is providing an enormous amount to the team, leave mcginnity or sheppard as the running sub.

No mention about Delidio or Vickery. Maybe they fib about their injuries as much as WCE.

I actually hope Vickery plays against us. He's looked out of sorts recently and in any case we have plenty of tall defenders to cover him. If Conca comes back we need to keep an eye on him. Handy player.

You heard wrong. Everyone knows that Lids has an indestructible adamantium skeleton and accelerated healing powers like Wolverine.
 
lids confirmed as indestructible, cleared of any damage will play

I think the lack of action on the Richmond board shows that not many of us expect us to win, we really haven't clicked yet this year and with our injuries mounting its hard to see it changing this week.

Forward line isn't functioning the best, King and McGuane down on their output from the start of the year, Vickery continues to tease and play to a 5th of his potential and nahas has been shocking. midfield wise cotch is well down on form, lids can't handle a tag, conca ellis tuck who were some of our best performed mids are injured. Eeeevan is a shell of last year. you can start to get the picture.

Backline is actually working alright, but with Grimes out your talls will really stretch us, i expect astbury to come in to help out there.

I don't think we are in with no chance, really think we just need something to click and we will be playing good football, if Cotchin can return to his best and Tyrone realises that he could be a gun if he wanted to be it would make a world of difference.

What i would like to see would be:

Out: Nahas, White, Lonergan
IN: McDonough, Astbury, Conca

FB: Morris, Chaplin, Astbury
HB: Houli, Rance, Batchelor
C: Grigg, Cotchin, Newman
HF: Martin, Vickery, King
FF: S.Edwards, Reiwoldt, McGuane
RUC: Maric, Deledio, Conca

INT: Foley, Jackson, Vlastuin
SUB: McDonough

Doubt they will release McDonough in the pressure cooker that will be Subiaco but I am sure he would offer more then Nahas is currently. also a good chance Conca won't get up.

If we can get ourselves up and play the attacking running brand of footy that we should be playing, then I think we are a chance at Subi, which suits us well. If we play the stupid chipping game we played last week we will get cut to pieces, again. I just hope we show up and take the game on, would be a decent game then i think

(ps play hutchings a full game for my supercoach, thanks)

Good luck guys :)

Well, the thing I'm most disappointed with is Petterd won't be making his way on to the field. :(

Richmond are definitely a chance to beat us on Monday.

We have been very average against every half-decent side we've played this year, whether home or away.

We are in danger of being labelled Flat Track Bullies.

We are, and we have been labelled, flat track bullies.

We haven't really beaten a side better than us without home ground advantage or opposition injuries for years
 
What is this flat track bullies crap anyway? Doesn't it just mean we beat the teams we are better than? Isn't that what you are supposed to do? Are we supposed to lose to inferior teams to lose this label, or what? I don't get it. :confused:
