Team Balance

Great win by the guys today, my throat is still sore from shouting at the umpires and cheering the magnificent goals in the last quarter

One little issue I had with this weeks selections was not selecting a CHF. Dean Cox cannot play CHF, he is a back-up ruckman and/or forward pocket type of player. I know our smalls kicked most of our goals, but in the second and third quarters we just didn't seem to have a decent sized target to kick to.

Andrew Embley saved us with some great marks up forward. Without Jakovich playing couldn't we have given some of our youngsters a go? If McDougall was fit, it would have been a good experience for him, and if not how about Paul Johnson or even giving Mark Seaby a try.

In saying that it was a real gutsy win by the guys. Im sure Woosha was happy beating Mick again, especially after being dropped for that final a few years back. Sweet revenge once again for Woosha

I agree ILWC- I think perhaps we could have brought another tall forward type into the team when Jako was forced out of the team. I know we would have had to pay a fine because we didnt name a tall as an emergency. But we could have played Mcdoogal and it could have given us someone to pin point in the 2nd and 3rd quarter when we desperately needed a marking option.
