Winder unlucky i think. Guess they want Joes strong experienced body in a game that's likely to have a lot of ball ups. Not too unhappy with it all.

probably the best side that we have managed to put out this season.

yep, going to be tough deciding who to drop when rioli, wellman and allan get back.
 
Not sure about Joey. Shouldn't we be looking at pace? He's had a few good ones recently...but I don't see why he should come back in, or at least not at the expense of Licha.

Decent looking side though. Pity it's round 21 already when we still have three good players to bring back in! Although...whilst I'd definitely bring back Rioli, I'm not sure about fitting the other two in, as good as they are. The kids are playing great footy at the moment, they want it more, and I don't know if any should be dropped now even for the sake of two older, more experienced players.

Its ignorant to think Rioli is not an immediate selection. He'll come in for one of the kids, it just depends which of them performs the best they'll keep their spot. They'll get their time, Rioli is a vital player in our lineup and is sorely missed.

Allan in top form is an immediate selection, however due to his age and mid-term injury hampering his match-fitness when he eventually does come back... If Laycock plays well he can keep him out.

When Rioli comes back... I'd bring him back in at Misiti's expense.
 
still alot of kids in the team - its good to have some experience to turn to if needed... Mercs out, Misiti in - seems like a logical swap
 
Dont think Joey should have got in. Surely at this stage of the year we stick with all the kids and see what happens. they got the job done last week under pressure.
Rioli is another story, i belive he has played his best year of footy ever this year and should come back in when available.
 
I'm very happy with the selected team for the second week running. Surprising considering i've been unhappy with the match committee all year. Winders is unlucky but he is only really being dropped for team balance. Just like teddy was a few weeks back.

Bolts at half back is a worry. Hall, O'Louglin and co will cream him.

Bolton will run with Goodes - Fletch, Richards and McPhee will play tall down back, reckon Solly will play on the ball again to give the grutn against Sydneys big frames.

Two requests Sheedy -
1)Play two fcuking ruckmen unlike last year - so keep Layc ock in.
2)Tag Kennelly - just tag him put Bullen on him or someone like it and tag him - he will smash us otherwise. And makesure Lloyd plays as deep as he cn to keep Barry out of the play.
 
- Hope Goddes continues his role in the backline so Bolton can play forward. Think he is better there than the backline and could play the role well similiar to the Port game against Cornes.

- Misiti shouldnt be playing. Would rather see a younger player like Winderlich play. Surely Watson, Stants and Dysons games were evidence that these youngsters can have an influence this year.
 
Stanton, Dyson, Watson have all shown some patches of good form throughout the year. Winderlich as much as most of you guys seem to love him has not. He was Ok last week against Davis but still when he shifts into a midfield role just cannot get near the thing. Big game id rather have joey's experience. Its all well and good playing the kids but lets not give Winderlich a game for that reason alone.
