would Cartledge be able to play Full Forward or Laycock? (not sure about injuries.

if not Fletcher may be the man though i wouldnt mind seeing Richards thrown in the deep end. If sheedy dares to put Mercuri on phil Metera ill come into the box and break his head open with a rusty can opener.
 
Huge forward line problems now with lloyd out. I'd go with teddy richards at full forward. He proved last year against Adelaide that he can kick goals under pressure. Deserves another shot.
 
I'd go with Hille or Fletcher at FF. Hird may spend some time there too. One of the worst games for Llyod to miss as West Coast really struggle to stop a good tall forward.
 
lufc618 agree with your sentiments. Look it is quite simple. Either Richards is good enough to play senior footy or he is not. the only way to find out is to give him a shot. Isolate him in the square, but a crumber at his feet (do we even have any aside from Rioli) and give him a crack at it. throw Lucas to CHF and tell Hille that if plays like a girl again, then he can fcuk off to bendigo for a week and cartledge can have a shot.
 
I agee, in that Adelaide game Teddy seemed to play very well one out deep in the foward line, and after that game he was basically given the flick from the team, or put on a foward flank which didnt seem to suit him much.

also agree with pevers about Hille. He needs to clench his teeth and throw his body round a bit.....cos he will hurt blokes.
one other player that is due for some form is Marc Bullen, he needs to lift this week and really hav an impact in the midfield.
Our defence looks good, but as we saw last week, it doesnt matter how many times Rioli and co. rebound of half back if our half foward line is non existant.....maybe play fletcher at CHF, and utilise his long kicking. Im not a fan usually of taking Fletch away from the back line, but desperate times.....
 
one or both of Lucas and Fletcher should play forward, but it may depend on whether Welly comes up, and who their key tall forward is, they only have a couple of youngsters.
The Team

Welsh Fletcher Solomon
Rioli McPhee Bolton
Alvey Bullen Rama
Richards Lucas Murphy
Winderlich Hille Reynolds
Allan Pev Hird
INT: Wellman, Walsh, Mercuri, Stanton
EM: Bradley (If Welly doesn't come up)
With Wellman in it will allow Fletch to move into the forward line for a couple of quarters, and Hille to give Allan a rest in the ruck. Hird will also play forward at times. I don't think Lloyd is such a huge loss for this game, at least it will give Richards another chance, and Fletch'll be able to float forward at times as they ain't that tall.
 
B: Welsh Wellman Solomon
HB: Reynolds McPhee Bullen
C: Murphy Misiti Ramanauskas
HF: Rioli Lucas Bolton
F: Mercuri Fletcher Alvey
R: Allan Hird Peverill
I/C: Hille Richards Winderlich Walsh

EM: Stanton, Bradley, Dyson

IN: Welsh, Wellman, Richards, Walsh
OUT: McVeigh, MJohnson, Henneman, Lloyd (appeal pending)
 
B: Welsh Hunt Solomon
HB: Bolton Lucas McPhee
C: Murphy Rioli Ramanauskas
HF: Hird Fletcher Reynolds
F: Richards Llyod Alvey
R: Allan Peverill Bullen
I: Mercuri, Hille Winderlich, Misiti, Stanton/walsh/dyson - take your pick tehre all ****

:p

who, mercs? yeah, it'd do wonders for his morale ;)

Actually, WC midfield against our kids...its gonna get messy down back for us!!!
 
Sorry stealth, I know this was posted before Lloyd was cleared...

But if we line up like that, we'd be smashed.

We're gonna get smashed anyway, why not think outside the box? I suppose Alvey could be put on the bench. I couldn't think of anyone else to crumb; we don't have anybody.

Irrelevant now that Lloyd's back anyway.
 
I reckon we will win this. I expected a thumping from Port and a comprehensive loss to St. kilda (they clearly outplayed us). This week I reckon with WC not being able to play away from home that well. We just need to get off to a good start and I reckon we can win a hard fought game - just. 15 points, although Lloyd and Lucas will have to play well up forward (and we know one will, will the leadership man do it as well though)

Looking forward to seeing how Dyson goes. It's good to see a bit of speed added to the line up. Maybe he could do a tagging role on judd or cousins(if he plays).
