I'm not that upset Sellwood is playing. if there was ever a game to play him this would be it. He needs to stay out of our forward line and apply immense pressure on Mitchell, while tackling and diving on every loose ball. With out the honey badger available we are lacking ferocity and scooter will be craving this more than Hodgey around beer o'clock. That reminds me, its almost 5pm.

Smith is out for the season is he, dickhead?

Even if he is a late omission this week, the fact that he flew to Perth, has already passed one fitness test and has been named to play would mean that he is a near certainty to play either next week or the week after.

Oh, and it also makes you look like a complete and utter ******.

Congratulations.:thumbsu:
Season

Cheers

Can see him giving away stupid 50's. MUST be mental games by Simmo.....he is a better coach than this.

After reading the Eagles board, wow. Is Scott Selwood really that bad? Reminds me of the reaction on our board when guys like Schammer and McManus would get named.

He hasn't had a good game all year. I think Simmo still lives in hope that he can recapture his B&F winning form from 2012. Selwood's selection for Friday night is probably due to his 5 or so finals games played more than anything though.

Fair enough. The calls for McGinnity to play ahead of him confuse me a bit though. It would be like a Freo fan agonising over Nic Suban being picked ahead of Matt de boer or vice versa. I see them as interchangeable foot soldiers.

Imagine if Priddis played as poorly as the anti Priddis loonies think he does. That's about how well Scooter has played this year.

Schofield comes in after being out since the round 20 derby and Selwood returns for his first senior game since we last played the eagles.
I'm starting to feel pretty confident; Selwood's a jobber at the best of times but an underdone jobber ain't gonna be jobbing as well as he usually jobs. And although Schofield has been very good this year going in cold against the reigning premiers is a huge ask.

Should I be surprised at no Freo in the bottom table? Where do we fall, out of interest?

So the game is not worth playing because we haven't got anyone good under 25.

Or else that we play too many over 25s and therefore the other ones are teminal and will drop dead at the first kick.

Or even that chronically the temperament of our players are so crushed that we can't handle a bit of 'kick to kick"

It is an even playing field and even Stormin. Norman wouldn't be able to crush the spirit..
