[twce13]

Please be Selwood sub. I have a bad feeling it will be Shep though, what a waste.

me to, hope not... Brennan can play the sub role well, hopefully it is him.

 

[mick06]

Great looking Ins. Pumped!

Is it Grima who always kills Darling everytime we play them?

Toovey from the pies is the only one i can think of that has chopped darling multiple times

 

[The Passenger]

brennan and a selwood very lucky.

still got butler to come back. veterans embley and nicoski likewise but we'll see how they go.

 

[fomoco04]

Best side we've fielded for some time.

 

[hudson2006]

Brown out is very stiff.

 

[Biggie]

Don't know how Brennan is still in either. Gah.

Small forwards maybe?

Wellingham to sub?

What a waste I reckon.

No chance that happens....can it?

 

[kempy]

Wellingham to sub?

More likely Shep I would think

 

[Chris_6678]

I think Shep will be the sub and think he is a perfect fit as he can come on and give us some good run through the midfield.

Brennan is fast and he can be the player to go with Thomas.

Scooter or Wellingham should tag Wells.

 

[WCE_Phill]

I reckon we are a tall short....I would refer Brown to Play on Daw.

Really enjoy Glass form as the sweeper, and Schofield played is best footy in that last quater when he was realised.

Will Adam F&%king Selwood please retire.

 

[beatlesmith]

Waters coming back killed Brown.

Waters could have easily returned in place of Smith or even Brennan, players in worse form than Brown.
Brown's been playing well, all things considered better than Schofield, and the 4 tall setup with Schoey rotating forward has worked well too.
This screams matchups/conditions.

As an aside, I don't want Selwood anywhere near Thomas or Wells.

 

[Suma Magic]

We'll definitely play 7 defenders...

Shep as sub, gaff an outside chance.

 

[PAdman]

Emergencies? Brown is a little stiff considering their tall backline...perhaps Schofields one good quarter for the year saved him.

Edit: I'd prefer Smith to Selwood. If Selwood ends up on Thomas, I am going to throw my tv in the pool.

Amazing isn't it? Schofield has 2 disposals to 3qrt time while Brown dominated in our backline and Brown gets subbed and then dropped. I really don't blame Brown when he leaves at the end of the year and Glass retires. Our ****ing match committee are the most clueless bunch if muppets I've ever seen. Bringing Adam selwood in for ****s sake, there was a reason he was dropped.

 

[Quinz]

Disappointing that Adam Selwood is still an automatic in to be honest. Apart from that great to see Kerr Beau and Masto in.

 

[Jeeves]

IN:

A.Selwood. rly gud player has premership medel n tons of experience. obvs in.
A.Embley. nortsmith medelist, duh. can kick goals n run hard.
B.Dick. kickd a massiv bag once so u put hem in automaticly.

OUT:

S.Hurn. wats this guy even doin on our squad cent even catch garlett.
M.Priddis. y he even in the team put darlin in the middle 4 grunt. priddis cant even play outside mid y he getting a spot as inside mid? lyke why pick a player 4 one position if dey cant play a completly diffrent 1? makes 0 cents.
A.Smith. y u gotta give a fast devender a game gainst a team with tons of quick fwards?

 

[Kernel Sanders]

A. Selwood in is a F****** Disgrace.

So his time in the WAFL, he gained a yard of pace and improved his disposal did he?

F***** Hell, trying to keep my $hit together before I go into meltdown mode.

 

[reimersworstguy]

Selwood brought in to play on Harvey I would've thought.

Thought the four talls in the back worked well, though.

 

[idmfts]

Definitely upset about Brown being out. He has been fantastic and I'm usually critical of him. They've got Daw, Petrie and Hansen that can play forward so I really don't understand it. Other than that its nice to see a strong team!

 

[Eastern Rangers]

Waters plays a vastly different role to Smith and Brennan.

 

[nameless]

Just love staring at that team sheet.

 

[bassmanx]

Not a fan of Selwood in over Brown.
Other changes were no brainers.

 

[Retali8]

Brown could yet be a late in depending on weather, looking at those emergencies or super sub daz to rip it up again

 

[Bigeasy]

Dropped a tall and pace. Glass now has to be accountable which I think will be to your detriment. I would have retained Brown at least to free up Glass to be the wall as he is such a good reader of play.

 

[Piss Poor]

Well Brown would be packing his bags right about now, shame that we keep a shit spud on his last legs in A Selwood and a future talented defender in Brown will likely walk and I don't blame him one bit if he does because we've treated him like shit.

Whoosha has got to stop selecting friends over better younger players.

You know whats happened here. Whoosh would have a better relationship with the older playing group. that's why A Selwood and Embley will get the nod but cost us in the long run.

Time will tell but we are gonna pay for these mistakes and the blame should fall solely on the coach for this.

So Whoosh picks his best mates over a winning squad, righto... and he has been at the helm for how many years whilst this has happened?
