Changes for Rnd 5 V West Coast

[CureTheSane]

No surprises in the changes for me. The club was never going to play 3 ruckmen, nor should they unless Tippo was FF for the game

McVeigh frustrated the hell out of me last year, which is why I've been critical this year.
Gave him a pass in his game back (should not have walked into the side)
I'll be watching him again.
Hope he proves me wrong, but he seems a step down, especially this year.

Ted on Darling????????????. At least he will get assistance in the back 50 but on the wing Im concerned ????.

As a forward you dont have to be fast, smart is enough. Sam Mitchell, Diesel are/were total guns and I dont see Macca anymore in the class of Heppell or Pendlebury as a distributor.

Macca a permanent flanker/pocket and a little time in Mids gives us 25-30 goals in a season.

We have plenty of speed and skill in our young mid/forward players.

Hannebery 25
Parker 23
Mitchell 22
Cunningham 22
Lloyd 22
Robinson 21
Jones 21
Hewett 21
Rose 20
Heeney 19
Mills 19
Papley 19

Plenty to work with. ???

We've got a good young list and I'm happy with the changes for Saturday

Wouldn't surprise me if Rampe got the job. Has played well on Riewoldt and Tex before, has the tank and pace and can burn him the other way. Teddy would be better as the loose tall I reckon.

Ted has stay home (back 50) and let Ramps run with Darling

McHack...still? Between ANZ and out of date nicknames, you're losing touch with 2016 Barry

Nicknames have a habit of coming back into fashion quickly.

[RogueSwan]

McHack is hardly an appropriate nickname.
Macca has proved over the last 4-5 years that he has been a very good footballer and great leader of our club and deserves respect.
But if RWOer's want to use it ... so be it.

Unlike stadiums...

[bungwahl]

If anything it's McGlynn who deserves the McHack tag

[longmile]

I think Papley or Paps as he's refered to by the players is the most prone to unfortunate nicknames

[barry]

If we revert to the 2015 team by bringing back mchack, rohan, etc we are almost locking in a 5th or lower finish . Our form in 2016 is due to the influx of speed youth and energy.

[Luke Shannon]

I think it will be Rampe on Kennedy. Ted and Heath don't have the athleticism to go with Kennedy for any longer than 20 minutes. Rampe will be able to go with Kennedy for speed, endurance and body strength. Kennedy will probably have him for high marks out in front but Rampe will keep at it and will provide some drive. Kennedy v Rampe will be the clash of the game.

No What you mean, I can think of unfortunate names also, such as pap smear etc.
Gee! I hope Sinclair is 100% fit, we will really need him against the WC talls.

[swansrob]

Apparently Kennedy (ours) may be a late out with an Achilles injury
