Glass lead a club with just as many injuries to 5th spot. What's your point? Best player doesn't mean best captain!

Natanui? Really?

no he doesn't. He's West Coast's number 1 ruck. He starts every quarter on the ball.
The fact you don't know that really compromises your opinion on the matter.

What people like yourself fail to realise is that Naitanui is West Coast number 1 ruckman and rucks against the number 1 ruckman from the opposition more than Cox does. People need to open their eyes and stop going off of past reputations.
My mistake I went on 200 exact thinking that was the number

Um, he starts every opening bounce, and also probably well more than half of all centre bounces. Do the opposition put their second stringers on at those moments is it?
Wait, what?
He's the most feared ruckman in the game for other teams, that can be seen by the work that goes into himcomoared to every other ruck.

This would be a valid argument if he wasn't WCE's #1 ruckman.
Awesome man thanksYour intellect to conjure up such a comeback leaves me in awe.
What a champion. Will retire with more AA's than cox.
It's official.
Nic Nat the best Ruckman in AFL.
First of 10 AA's.
Was never in doubt.
I'm glad I chose him.
Oh wait it wasn't me. It was the experts.
I believe Naitanui was worthy but not as a no.1 ruckman.
Natanui to bench, Cox to ruck, Pendles out and Pavlich FP would have been obvious choice.
It wasn't the most controversial selection though. Glass was lucky to get in...and then...was named captain...WTF???

Everyone is second string to Naitanui.

Even Pav admitted his first of the season sucked.

Guy is still developing and has been worthy of an AA. OP better get used to being mad, if he stays injury free he'll be a regular

Lack of class and humility showing through in a lot of posts here.

Why would Cox be the no.1 ruck when Nic Nat has been the no.1 ruck at west coast all year? Every week we line up with cox in the forward pocket and Nic Nat on the ball

pity he chose Saturday to choke eh?
their justification for not including Pav was ridiculous. He had very similar results as Hawkins despite playing much less up forward. He also contributed in the midfield. If you were playing a match, you'd choose Pav every time.
Saturday only 11 players had more contested ball than him, he had 75% DE, only two players had more 1% than him. He kicked a goal and was part of the team that won the ruck taps. While he didn't rip the game apart he didn't choke, the loss was not on him.

Yeah, I'm the only one who thinks the Natanui selection was a joke.
Sam Jacobs was 2012's best ruckman.
If Nic Nat is really your number one ruckman, then how does he spend so much time in your forward 50? Cox is consistently better than Naitanui and it seems only West Coast supporters that believe he was a worthy selection this year.
