Selwood to make his AFL debut, Seirakowski to make his 2003 debut, something i dont think any of us expected to see this year!
Good luck to him, hes been solid at Subi, hope it transfers to AFL level.

you can tell we are at panick stations regarding talls when siera gets a call-up into the seniors. hopefully he holds up well.

Are Wirrpunda and McDougall certs to play or somewhere closer to 50/50?

Does Wilson's name in the emergency list suggest he might come in for McDougall?

nice to see Chambers there.

Looks a mixed bag though.

No Milli is a blow.

We're gonna have to raise the roof to get us home methinks

 

[Jabber]

Not a pretty sight
I expect to see Munro & Wilson come in for McDougall & Wirra

 

[cartman]

is sirra going to play chf ,if mcdougal dosn't play wont we be a bit thin in the ruck

I'm very happy to see Selwood get a game. As for the rest.. hmm. I suppose I'm glad Sierakowksi gets at least one more hurrah before his likely retirement, and in actuality, he's probably not that bad a selection, although it would have been a lot nicer to get Milli back. Siera's worth as much at CHB as Carroll, and can also play in the ruck if necessary. If he or McDougall isn't 100%, enter Wilson.

The reality is though, we're not going to win or lose this one because of the cattle we put out there- if we're going to win, it'll be by playing with more intensity and smarts (not nigel!) than Adelaide- thats doable.

Last year, we beat Adelaide at Subiaco by 18 pts,and few people would argue that we haven't improved a lot since then. There's no reason why we couldn't win again, and if we don't at least put up a credible contest, I won't be using our injuries as an excuse.

You can count on me.

 

[The Passenger]

jeez, Sierakowski is a suprise inclusion - why though?? a very strange selectoin indeed - would've been better going with Hansen or Lynch or Seaby IMO.

Good to see Selwood get his debut game meaning all of last years picks have got a run.

And GREAT to see Chambers finally get a game.

Are they going to definitely play? ie. Do they have a fitness test to pass like Macca & Burns do for the Crows?

 

[jod23]

I thought McDougall was a certain out?

Good to see Wirrpunda named but all over the ground, we look a little weak. With Fletcher, Gardiner, Banfield, Gaspar, McIntosh, Embley etc out of the side, it really will test our depth.
