Changes for Rnd 3 v Port Power

[Southern Swan15]

His efforts when he had the chance to impose himself on a contest was disgraceful.

Poor form from our Co Captain.

[DeadlyAkkuret]

You don't drop a co-captain after one poor game. McVeigh is a proud footballer, he'll make up for it against Port.

Nipper not relaxed enough on the delivery as yet

Armstrong will be hot on the heels of Mal for that running HB possie

Besides the obvious Mummy - for - Seaby reverse swap, the other possible change may be for ROK to get a full run in the reserves for match fitness. Besides that excellent contested grab in the forward 50 and subsequent goal which took us back a few years, he had no impact on the game at all.

Oh, and Auntie, with their respective games today I would say Malceski is quite safe from Armstrong for some time.

i thought Shaw turned over quite a lot today and seem to pull up winded that is why I suggested a game in the 2's. If he is injured he shouldn't be playing at all. I didn't think Rhyce had much impact on the game at all today, he had one very good run. Hill didn't get into the game that is true but I think that had as much to do with the way the game was played and lack of open space. He loves the big ground and we hemmed him in. I though we forced them around the flanks in the first half and that played into our hands. In the second half they were able to get the clearances and drive from the back half and use the corridor. Maybe we could have planted a player directly in the corridor and blocked the run. The clearances were always going to be a worry because of Sandilands.

LRT was sitting right next to Horse in the press conference when Horse was asked about injuries from todays game.. Horse said none that he knew of.. So it seems strange that it wasn't mentioned then.

Mal is very safe he was very good today. I can think of quite a few players who were a lot worse than Mal. Goodsie had an off day and tried to do too much instead of playing the team game. Macca was soft in a few contests, I think because of misjudgement more than anything else. Reg got plenty of ball but I close my eyes when he starts to make a decision as to what to do and how to accomplish it. Teddy was playing too far above his height today. They were big! But still put in a good game. Everyone tried and was for most part hard at the ball.

In; Mummy, pity Lockyer got injured I would have him in, Harry
Out; LRT if injured, ROK (maybe a game in the 2's)? Shaw (maybe injured or under fit)?

If Lockyer is injured Shaw stays if not injured. ROK needs a good run but maybe against Port it would be good to just retain the same team barring injuries. But I would try to get Harry back soon.

He had one hell of a shiner!

Why would you bring Lockyer in? He's played one half of one shortened NAB cup game and then 3 quarters of a reserves game.

and according to Twitter he went off injured.

and Mal was very very good today IMO. In fact he was our 2nd highest possession getter.

[wolftone57]

Dunno why people want Hanners out. He'll be better for the run for sure and did some nice things today. Lewie copped a hard knock to the head. I think friendly fire from Rohan.

Can't understand why Hannas should go either he got 12 coming on in the third. Shaw got 10 for the match when AJ and Reg both got into the high 20's. ROK got 2 so why not drop him? Or Shaw?

He is a very classy unit I think. Very well balanced. I think he would fit in quite nicely if he can stay fit and get some game time. I have seen some of his WAFL footage and he is good and the WAFL is a reasonably high standard (VFL). I wasn't ever suggesting Mal go out he was great today! I was suggesting Shaw (10) have a 2's game if he is fit and get some match fitness back. ROK (2) needs some time too.

Wolfie Shaw spent most of the game tagging Hill. He kept him to only a few possessions till half time and to only 18 possies for the game whilst still getting 10 himself. Anyone who chases Hill around all day is going to look a little tired.

Mal was very classy today and he and Shaw stay.

Only had 10 against GWS and only played a quarter today. And I did say maybe.......we do have a habit of dropping our subs.
