That team is going to get murdered.

 

[THE A5]

No way Hurn is a bigger loss than TB. TB probably been our best defender all season and now we have an inexperienced Fb and a make shift CHB

 

[new breed]

We're in trouble .......

 

[Get_The_Gaff]

Hurn is a bigger loss than TB. This doesnt bode well.
My spys tell me that medicine in Perth is a pretty dodgy closed shop. The club should look outside the square a bit more.

Unfortunately with the soft cap cuts we can't have cutting edge medical staff .

 

[kaiserchief13]

Amazing.

After last weeks diabolical performance, and the injuries we have, we still field the same proven spuds and totally out of form guys that haven't performed all year.

Surely now was the time to swing the changes.
Admit Vardy is just a nebbish. When he goes on the ground it feels as if someone just went off.
Cripps has slowed, fumbles and fails to stick tackles. Defensive small forward who keeps the ball in and grabs a few himself? Not any more.
Langdon looks out of his depth. WAFL to show something.
XON and Jones are maybe's for the future, but right now are not highlighting it. Not sure whether to persist as getting games in is a good thing, or a couple of WAFLs to body fitness recover.
Forget guys like Hutchings. He's at the end and as a fringe player what's the point?
Ah Chee might re-invent as perma-sub. Has the build to be a backup for quite a few positions.

I'd rather see LEdwards, Trew, HEdwards and Williams playing than this mob.

Just want Hurn to get to 300 now. Highlight of the year if it happens.

Very weak selection statement isn't it? It's likely to be a loss anyway so may as well play youngsters to see what they have. Simpson should definitely be under the microscope with a loss in this game, hopefully by the media

 

[Get_The_Gaff]

Hurn re injures his calf in the Captain's run today .....when we haven't got a Captain anymore except maybe JK doesn't make sense .

Better today then in the first quarter Sunday

Seriously?

I know last week was a shit show but cutting experience players to make a statement when we have so many injuries would be borderline tanking !

Remember we are undefeated at optus this year .

Our team is basically jeckle and hyde with home and away games

 

[Bacchus]

We will be sinking to the bottom with Collingwood. At least we can get some good picks. Midfielders please.

 

[RookiePick]

Less mids?

That should help.

We have been Jekyll with our two aces in defense. Without them, no Hurn for leadership, and a weak, shallow midfield who can we beat?

Sure, we beat P.A., but that was Shuey led.

 

[Wild Kelly]

My biggest concern is for the sports journalists at the West Australian. How are they going to come up with another two page spread on Bunga for next week?

 

[frenchconnection]

I thought Hurn was coming back a bit early as wasn't it only 2 weeks ago that he went off with his "calf"? Our medical staff are a bit of a joke I think but don't know what the solution is mind you.

 

[KERRPOW]

In all honesty their defence is decimated too, if we get the ball into our forward line we will score from most entries imo!

Their mids are tougher and will smash ours

Yes but our soldiers are dropping like ninepins so not too confident about a win at home tomorrow when our backline is decimated the way it is? I can only pray lol!

 

[Patterz123]

Amazing to think with this amount of key injuries, we head into this Derby as favourites against an "in form" Fremantle.

Would like to see Ah Chee get a run, even we with no form to go on. Strange how he was going to play early season, had the injury and now stuck in no mans land.

 

[Astro7]

Well, don't forget our secret weapon, the coaches rocket/stern words after the last game - and NN saying the mids are coming out hard and committed this game...!
More positives - it's Optus, no rain...

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

It's likely to be a loss anyway so may as well play youngsters to see what they have.

If our match committee took that attitude with this game I’d be marching on Lathlain demanding their resignation.

TB has there last week. Hurn is our best one on one against big bodies and steadies the ship while TB and coy go to water.

 

[Coasters7]

In other words.. Simpson’s coaching career is on the line this week

Some time it isnt what you pay but who you select. I though all clubs have the same cap?

Older player, calf, 3 weeks min isnt that easy to see.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Last chance saloon for Langdon.

 

[Godfather32]

Well we can, we just have to pay extra for it

Cant wait for us to miss finals for the first time in years only for one of our academy prospects to shoot into top 10 contention, where we have to pick them anyway, after other sides have continually gouged the system for years. What a fun time that will be.
