Malceski punted - Teams v WC

[Rob-bloods]

It will be interesting to see who starts on him.

I'll assume that LRT would take Lynch, LeCras has been their most dangerous forward this year - Bolton will start on him.

As you say with the weak HB line maybe it would be a good time to see Bevo as the defensive forward.

Agreed, I like Wirrpanda 'tagged' in our forward line could be the job for Bevo?

I know he's injured, but how far away is Vespa?

LeCras is the danger man! Bolton has to take him. If that doesn't work, Bevan will have to have a go.

LRT for Lynch/McKinley & Richards on Kennedy.

Their midfield looks pathetic.

We should win by 30+

[10Totti10]

It will be a very good game. Can't pick a winner to be honest. Hopefully Hall, MOL, ROK all have good games.
Im gonna tip Swans but only by 10 points.

[Bleed Red Blood]

I'm not sure about all this confidence - I mean, I am sure we'll win - but there is still a lot of quality in the Eagles line-up.

McKinley is a very talented player, I don't like the idea of Richards playing on him as I think McK will be too clever for Teddy, otherwise perhaps Mattner if we can still get enough run.

I'm confident Reg can go with Kennedy, leaving LRT on Lynch. And Bolton should definitely go to Le Cras.

How's the weather in Sydney?

Absolutely beautiful! A little less breeze tomorrow would be ideal.

I think this match up has great merit. Let's hope that Roos & co give it the consideration it deserves and decide to implement it.

Agree Aub. West Coast have a young but talented forwardline with some enigmatic players in Le Cras and McKinley. These are the type of players we seem to have real issues with as they are evasive and have X Factor. (see Collingwood with Didak et all.)

With the Bevanator the options are limitless

Can we try him in the ruck, Jolly needs a rest.

I see Richards is named at HF and Grundy at HB again. Is it some kind of match committee in-joke?

Richards has been selected on the forward line in every (?) game this year and still hasn't kicked a goal.

You just don't understand confusion tactics I mean having Richards in the forward line would cause great concern amongst the opposition players! Make em sweat I say...

Malceski lost me and probably the selectors when in the last quarter he made a limp wristed attempt at a tackle and the Geelong player strolled away from him. He was immediately dragged which is not a thing Roos does very often.

Roos I thought was very kind to him in his explanation for his dropping. He had 21 possessions and yes some very poor disposal, but it was the way he went about his game that disappointed me.

He is essentially a defender but has not the will at the moment to play that roll with any strength. Sure he plays the run off roll but you still have to be first to the ball and be accountable for your opponent. Right now he is not doing either.

Sorry Mal, you were the weakest link.

What about a few cold afternoons at Manuka to sharpen the lad up.
