      Can't believe they dropped McKinley. Especially with Kennedy injured.

        Another spot on move by Roos, rotating the youngsters and bringing in one of our top endurance athletes for the game at Subi.

          It probably makes sense in a "horses for courses" sense but based on the relative performances of the two last weekend, Barlow can consider himself a little fortunate.

            Far out, seven changes for the weagles.

            Graham is a spud, Butler is returning from an extended injury stint, Davis is playing his 3rd game, Seaby has been kicking cheap goals in the WAFL, Nicoski hasn't hit a target for 2 years, Masten would get blown away by a strong breeze and Hunter is ugly.

            I like our chances.

              McKinley was the only avenue to goal for them. I havent watched him closely enough so I can only assume his defensive efforts have been poor and we all know defensive pressure in the forward 50 is in vogue.

                  good to see the cheese back...gotta love his athleticism and ability to take the opposition on. Unlucky for bird really as I think he probably had his best game against the tiges. Although he probably doesn't quite have the endurance for a big ground like subi. This was a relatively easy decision. Next week shall be very hard indeed.

                    I also like our chances, but I hope that dickhead Hunter doesn't take any pack marks inside their forward 50.

                    I'll be interested to see how good (or bad) the umpiring will be considering the absence of McLaren.

                      Hunter was still expected to be another couple of weeks away, expect to him to drop out for McKinley who I can't beleive they dropped.

                        Always hard making changes to a winning team.

                        Though great to see Barlow in for Bird.
                        Fantastic to see we can go to another kid and still have some experienced

                        To think the Finger played 10 in a row from the get go is a bonus and something alot of us wouldnt of expected included those at the helm.

                          Hunter hasn't had a touch since he's been off the gear.

                            no surprise.felt bird needed a rest.youngsters have to develop endurance.
                            a good team with lots of pressure from the fringe

                              It's a good call. Teenagers need managing if they are to have any impact later in the year. Barlow will hopefully rise to the occasion, and run some hapeless beagle off his feet.
