Genuine question Lance, how many posts do you think you've notched up since this whole PED business began? Just seems like any time there's a reference to what's happening you are one of the first to reply.
I dunno, I don't keep track. maybe 1k? 2k? Maybe more, who knows. Don't worry, I don't have spiders crawling BigFooty to track down any mention of the subject, but I do tend to get involved on opposition boards during the week we play them, and it comes up with monotonous regularity. Not surprising, but yeah, pretty disappointing when it's something from the first half of last year that would have no relevence now, but there you go

Fletcher will go to betts. Hibbard to Garlett,
For us I'd like to see Curnow go to stanton and send Judd to do a negating role on Watson. Judd won't have the concentration lapse that Cachia has (Moloney got away from him in the 2nd) Judd will contest everything and has the pace to burn Watson. Leaves Zaharakis for Cachia and Murphy will get Hocking.

It's a shame Henry Slattery isn't on your list anymore.
Don't think Chris Judd will go to Watson, however they might line up on each other @ some stage during the game. Cachia should get Watson and if that fails then we send either Curnow or Gibbs to him.

I am worried that whoever Cachia picks up (Zaharakis or Watson) will take him to the goal square. Hasn't been tried to my knowledge in the last few games and really worries me. Cachia has made an outstanding debut but he is still learning.
We have to be happy with so few injuries, missing only Carrots and 11, who won't be a big loss since bombers have picked Danniher. I am sorry that Bootsma was dropped as I prefer him to White who can be slow thinking on the footy field. I am also sorry Bell was dropped as I would have liked him to start on Watson. Maybe it was too big an ask and the 4 points is more important than the learning experience but he only got a quarter last week.
If it weren't for the fact that Scotland was playing his 200th game I would make him sub as his lack of pace would be less noticeable later in the game. If sentiment gets involved then Cachia would be sub for mine as we are hardly short of midfielders with Judd, Murphy, Curnow, Robinson and McLean nominally inside and Lucas, Gibbs, Simpson and Army nominally outside mids.
If Walker misses out presumably Bootsma comes back in. Gotta love his spoiling, it set up Curnow's goal last week.

I have to roll one up before playing Essendon so I don't kill someone at the ground.
It's going to be pretty hot in the kitchen tonight and Whitey with the more mature body and more natural aggression is why he was picked in front of Boots.

Cachia won't pickup Watson.
They wouldn't do that to someone who has only played a handful of games.
Could see him picking up Zaharakis though. Zaka has shown in the past that he hasn't learnt to deal with a tag, and he pretty much has no influence over the game in this situation. Not sure Cachia could go with him speed wise, but around the stoppages he'd be fine.
How's he traveling? Must be getting on now!

Funny. They also say Heppell is in doubt. Do you honestly expect him to play?
What are they in doubt about? Maybe they're just not sure whether to bring the umbrella or not, and fair enough on such a grey old day!!

That's it I'm leaving work for home. Red wine, big screen, can't wait.
I'm pleased that we go into this game at near full strength. Match up discussions have been interesting, but we all know there will be more moves than a swiss watch. GO your ****ing Blues !!
Waite id due for a big one.
