They played Membrey up the ground in the Ressies on the weekend. I'm just wondering if they were testing out his endurance and work rate as a possible inclusion for Reid.

Tough choice. If it were up to me I'd play Jesse, horse will pay Walsh I am sure. Either way the bombers are playing some very good footy so we will need our a game. Jobe was simply unbelievable - he doesn't seem to move fast but boy he seems free a lot both inside fifty and on the ball.Comment

This is the one game I want to win. I look at this fixture at the start of every season and look forward to matching it with the peptide munchers.
If Reid isn't fit:
IN: Mattner
OUT: Reid
Spider Everitt to play Reidy' s role.LRT. Lord Roberts-Thompson. He may look like the Munster, but looks can be deceiving.

I wonder if Mitchell being named as sub was really an "encouragement award" it would be hard to believe his body, not his talent, is quite ready to step up. The Walsh vs White debate, White has not really 'stepped up' in recent years Tommy Walsh seemed at least get to contests against Freo i'd give him another chance but it must simply be Mattner in for Reid surely.Sports do not build character.

Mitch Morton the most qualified. Goodes to play Reid role.The eternal connundrum "what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object" was finally solved when David Hasselhoff punched himself in the face.Comment

See I reckon this is loco ! If the past three weeks haven't reinforced it nothing will - goodes is five times the midfielder than he is a forward. To play him as the marking forward diminishes him as he often prefers playing front and centre and he gets out marked much too often by genuine key position defenders. Walsh crashed packs and brought the ball to ground against freo and white pushed and shoved his opponent in lake well enough that it came to ground as well.
If we bring mattner for Reid only our whole game style will need to change.Comment

You'd have to question what Mental state Goodes will be in at the weekend. This week could be very draining.
He may not be the superstar he was against Collingwood.
I agree, that if Reid is unavailable, then we need to replace him with a forward. I'd opt for White if the forcast is dry. Walsh if wet.Comment

What's the rationale behind playing Walsh in the wetComment

If Walsh plays, we lose. Bring in White before Walsh any day of the week.LRT. Lord Roberts-Thompson. He may look like the Munster, but looks can be deceiving.

Why not Mattner for Everitt and put Everitt up field for Sammy?Comment

I watched the replay and still can't see why people were happy with Everitt's game. Sure he did a few good things and he may have been playing to a designated role but he still spends heaps of time 'hovering'. If you compare his input and output to that of Rampe who has played only a few games I can't see Everitt ever being in the best 22.
Did anyone at the game notice Macca pulling the defence group aside and laying down the law to them? Nothing on TV but I was listening to the ABC commentary and David Parkin spoke about it. According to DP he did it once (not sure if it was during a break) then did it again in no uncertain terms. In an after game interview DP asked Jarrod about it and when Jarrod said something about asking them, DP said that it didn't look to him like asking - and they both had a laugh. Obviously Macca is making his presence felt in the back half. I suspect Teddy has his work cut out trying to cope with his own role with Mattner and Shaw out as well as LRT and AJ!Comment
