Changes for Rnd 3 v Port Power

[Jewels]

Here'sa thought for you. Horse, in his game planning, sees no way we win the ruck taps and devises a fiendishly clever plan to shark Freo's, so what does it matter who we play there? It's a long season for Mummy, who has to shoulder 80% of the ruck work and all the other stuff he does, so give him the week off, we still have a good ruckman in Seabs, who Roos pointed out probably runs and spreads better than Mummy, running Sandi around a bit etc. Whatever happened, it seemed to work ok and we got the choccies. As for playing people back from injury, I've said it before, and I'VE SEEN OTHER PEOPLE SAY THAT TO THE TOP 22, A RUN IN THE RESSIES IS NO BETTER THAN TRAINING DRILLS REALLY, LET THEM GET MATCH FIT , NEXT WEEK WE WILL SEE THE BENEFIT, sorry, bloody caps lock

Hmmm, bloody Mummy and his bloody back - killed my dream team. Mummy and Hille are my rucks!

Who am I kidding? I've never made a spectacular comment in my life!

It's only round 2 - we'll give you a few more weeks to come up with A specky ;-)

As much as I would like to see Mummy fit, it might be interesting to see Seaby go up against Port. Will he be motivated to pay them back for not picking him up last year? I've spoken to him a couple of times and he doesn't seem like that kind of guy, but you never know.

That's right you never know. Remember the Dalai Llama's first game for us against Essendon his previous club, hyped up to the max, moustaches bristling, over aggressive, he ended up getting reported.

How's that for karma?

The big men slugged it out at training yesterday - Pyke, Seaby, White and Andrejs.

Mummy is still uncertain. If he's still out it will be interesting selection dilemma (IMHO) between Pyke and White for the ruck/forward position.

Sorry my mistake, I was confusing the Dalai Lama and Derek Kickett again

Pykie looked a little short of a run last week and could probably do with another in the Resies. White would be the logical replacement, fit, kicking goals in the resies and ready. But Matt Cameron seems pretty confident that Mummy will come up as he trained and was ok. Matt Cameron also said Mitchell has some soreness in his knee again so will be assessed again next week. Eugene is back, Meredith also. So the resies will have a bit of a stronger line up.

Pyke injured his PCL and can't jump. No way they'd be taking him as a back up anything I'd think.
White in for LRT
Seaby in if Mummy doesn't come up.

Yep, that's how I see it.
Though it may just end up being...... Mummy in - LRT out

No Nick Smith.... I don't know why, but I'm pretty nervy about this game.

Hmmm maybe Armstrong will debut this week.

Whaaaa?

Yeah that would be a natural selection as you would assume Shaw would take Smith's duties and Armstrong could cover Shaw's. I'm very interested to see his much vaunted kicking under pressure in action. Hopefully he is a breath of fresh air in a low kicking efficiency team.

[DLBIA14]

Whaaaa?

Cordy says inner ear infection, Swans say a vague 'virus'. Should only miss this week.

Smith is a very big loss, but I am excited by the possibility of seeing Armstrong get a go ( if he is the man picked). I was thinking to myself yesterday how we would get him into the side if and when he is demanding slection, it would be a dilemna. My conclusion was an injury would have to occur for a spot to open up.
