    One's 27 and has proven that he's ordinary, the other's 21 with enormous potential and being played out of position at times. White can kick too, Playfair can't.

      This year Roos has had Bradshaw, White and Goodes up front with the 2 ruckmen Seaby and Mumford.
      I think White is a better option up forward than in the ruck.

      Therefore my changes for this week would be

      In: Bradshaw, Currie, McGlynn (if fit, if not Vezpremi)
      Out: Beavan, Playfair, Richards.

      Sandilands is expected to dominate so there wouldn't be the expectations on the ruckmen so why not give Currie a go. (he may just surprise).

            We kicked 7 goals in the 3rd qtr against Brisbane and then bravely held on on in the last due to injuries sustained during the match. Your definition of switching off certainly doesn't match mine.

              I pretty much agree with these changes except i am concerned that we could be a little short down back, lacking a quality defender to take the 3rd tall, especially when sandilands goes forward.

              Maybe, and i know this is left field, we could play rohan in the backline. He is 190 and 85kg so size fits and has played fullback throughout his junior carreer. It could be a good way to keep him in the senior team when players start coming back from injury, it would be valuable experience for a young forward and lets face it couldnt possibly do any worse that ted richards.

                With Mcpharlin and Broughton out of thier defence, and now Johnson out , i dont think we'll be in too much trouble for talls. Sure Broughton isn't that tall, but he's doing good jobs in their backline.

                There backline will be stretched covering our three talls, and subsequently this makes it harder for them going forward also as they won't have the luxury of throwing Tarrant or Mcpharlin forward to try and stretch our defence.

                Finally a little bit of Footy Karma balancing back our way. I'm confident we'll get the job done

                  White's been dropped to the reserves. No Currie or Vesz either, looks like LRT or Teddy or Playfair or Goodes (sans center bounces) as the backup to Pyke. Heath a chance to debut.

                    Obviously means Henry's going around again. What a joke.

                          That is absolutely, @@@@ing ridiculous assuming it's based on form and not an injury or he's shagged Mrs Roos (Schaubs?). If his form isn't good enough as a ruckman then move him back to playing as a forward! His last game as a forward he had close to the same figures as Playfair did on the weekend with 2 goals on top... and that was sharing the F50 with Bradshaw and Goodes, Playfair obviously had no Bradhsaw, and Goodes didn't spent a hell of a lot of time in the F50.... absolute @@@@ing joke, IMO. He and Pyke were both beaten on the weekend, and White offered more when the ball hit the deck.

                          It is justifying decisions made to roll the dice on mature aged rookies if both Pyke and Playfair get in the game above him.
                          I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
                          We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his time

                            What the hell. I am pretty pissed off right now. I hope there has been some mistake.

                              I hear ya Damien, since Davo and Schaubs departed I haven't really had my pulse race over team selections but I have to admit this does get me a bit excited; not so much because White is approaching the Davo/Schaubs level of affection, but mainly because it just seems dumb.
