Dat midfield tho haha
Scott Lycett will be rucking and roving his own ball this year. Ain't no thang.
Get rid of Priddis and Rosa and put in Coniglio and Sheed and it looks a little better.

It's like the joke I heard the other day:
What do Meatloaf and Pavlich have in common?
Both will never play another grand final

F&%#$@!*ing McGinnity......
surely he and lucas wont make the cut on sunday. Maybe hill with them.
Lucas and Hill are also named on the extended bench for East Perth so may drop out, McGinnity however is not, so he'll definitely play.
Boggles my mind that he's playing, especially if it's in a similar role to Port where he was hopelessly out of his depth.
Port were smart to make him one out at FF, don't think he won a single contest.
There will be an update on schofield in todays west.
It just beggars belief that we play Mcginnity at all. He is in the team for depth so basically as far as I'm concerned when enough guys are injured then and only then he gets a Guernsey - we should try to blood new guys and get as many games as possible into new guys.
It might be nice to try and get through the game this weekend without any injuries

West says he has an ankle injury and is in doubt for round 1 and is expected to be back training next week.

it's amazing that he has managed to stretch his afl career as long as he has.
That sucks nuggets. He was playing WAFL at times last year with all our talls, now we really need him and he's injured.

Probably because he can play in various positions and tag and has pace - so when we have had injury riddled seasons we can put him in to cover. Certainly aint because hes likely to breakout any time soon
We can get away without Schofield for round 1 but we will need him round 2 v Carlton. Hope they give him a game in the WAFL next weekend before we play if he is indeed back in full training next week.

Yeah, we certainly need him back soon, but I think the first 3 rounds we're ok - Bulldogs we know are very short up front.
Carlton:
No Kruezer
Combination of Casboult/Henderson/Jones as their talls. Sure we'd like to have Schoey to really nullify them, but I'd be pretty confident Gov and Brown with 1 other medium def could handle them.
Even Freo are a bit light with big forward, Brown on Pav, medium def on Mayne and then Gov can play floating defender or mind the ruckman.
Even if they play Apeness I doubt he'll cause issues.
Adelaide is where we'll be needing Schoey more.
We have always been very top heavy down back so it will be interesting to see how we go with more runners.

So if brown goes down do we forfeit the season?
Scott Lycett and I had our weekly sponsorship meeting, and he tells me he's happy to drop down to the backline if required. Then he smashed a brick in half with his face. I think he's ready to play ball.

We'd probably have to play both McInnes & Gov down back in that scenario, I'd say we'd definitely finish low on the ladder and may as well get games into younger players like Powell at that point.
On a related note, anyone else remember the debate around trading Brown a couple of years back? I know we'd have picked up another defender, but probably not one who's any better than Brown. Glad we held onto him in the end.
