Seeing that Schaubs did not make it back in for this game considering the wealth of talls that WC has, what does that say about his current standing in the club?

I would love to see him back.

schauble may appear in the legends game

Grrrr re Schauble's omission. Jonas is a dickhead.

What is your justification for that comment?

Wouldn't you say Lynch is the best matchup for Schuable?

He's the defenders coach so he seems like an appropriate scapegoat for my annoyance about Schauble's non-selection. He participates in the selection committee. He use to play for Central Districts.

Hunter and Hansen are still out, they're not the tallest team going around.

Forward line match ups?

LRT VS McDougal
C Bolts VS Lynch (Strength for Strength)
Barry VS Seaby
Crouch VS Matera

Would like to see C Bolts have a go on Matera but they've packed their forward line with 3 talls (Where's Schabs?!)

Sampi is another one we have to look out for. Could Schneider have another crack in defence?

The Sampi thing surprises me greatly. I thought they would have left him back in Perth to keep warm some nice WAFLs.

I mean 5 games clear, 5 hour plane ride and even if they dropped the game, there are more important ones to be ready for in September so why risk him?

I think they really aim to play well and show the footy world the SCG is no barrier.

Now whether Ashley Sampi can make a difference, I have no idea, but it does mean that Woosha does have a lot of respect for Sydney to rush the Prawn & Scampi back in.

The contest just keeps getting better!

Correct. I disgraceful episode in the clubs history is the non-selection of Schuable the last two weeks.
He's BOG in the 2's, an ideal matchup in the 1's. It must be internal politics.

Or maybe they see only one spot available between him and LRT, and they believe LRT is the better value?

I would have though this week there was room and a need for both.

On another matter

Chris Judd says . . . . "We are certainly aware of who the players are - Barry Hall, O'Loughlin, O'Keefe and the other bloke they play through there."

Aware he may be but who is this mysterious "other bloke"? Should he have some sort of special costume? Fox reckons it's Monty but it could also be Nick or Adam.
Which one needs a new nickname?

They may still leave him out, a few standard ducks and drakes IMO.

Ugh - I don't think so. A 6" height differential is a bit too much!
