..subi is such a big ground [and wide], that it's going to take extra work ethic to play the boundary style.. ..what it requires is non-stop work from the CHF, who if he has smarts for the role, will find space and be an excellent conduit into the F50.. ..however, i worry about our choice for CHF.. ..if we play Knockers as 1st ruck, which isn't so bad an option,, who plays our KPFs..?.. ..if Hampson stays in as 2nd ruck, deep KPF not so bad.. ..but then who gets CHF for the game..?.. ..Rowe isn't fit enough, i don't think Bolt is either.. ..not all game long at subi..

..Hampson can't play CHF.. ..if Knockers doesn't come in at all, then Hampson most likely becomes 1st ruck.. ..he should [but probably won't] beat Cox in the ruck, but will get owned around the game and i don't think he has the engine to run with him around such a big ground.. ..Knockers i think is fitter [?], and has more of a footy brain and knows the ground better..

..Hendo would love a game at CHF, especially at subi.. ..but with Kennedy and darling, i can't see him being moved fwd.. ..in fact, with the way he and Jamo are holding down the KPD posts, i can't see him being moved fwd any time soon [unfortunately]..

Henderson was superb at CHB on Pav at Subi last year

As others have said we need 2 of him.

..he's a very good player, he'll be good at CHB and CHF.. ..but we've got our best 2 performing kpps down back, and are struggling for good kpp performance up fwd.. ..we'll continue to break down across hf until we settle him up fwd.. ..we'll continue to rely on meds and smalls running and carrying the ball fwd, or bombing it over the hf line, as we have for the last 8 seasons..

Interesting we put Graham on the LTI list this week.

Wonder if there's a view to play Collins down back, or bring Dale in at the expense of Simpson?

Subi isn't wide it's narrow and long. Cigar shaped .

Makes the press hard to maintain and you are never far from the corridor is you flower up.

..is it?, when watching it, it seems if you play wide you get stuck out on the wings and it takes an extra kick or two.. ..i know it's stretched, but i thought it was wide too..

Does anyone know if the club will be showing the game for members and supporters?

I like it with one change. I prefer Hampson at FF instead of Levi atm.


Hammer will be better for the run last week, I'd keep him in too. I was at Subi a few years ago when he took that big grab floating across the pack near the goal square. Hoping he's a Subi specialist, :smile:

Apparently Levi was nothing special for NB's last week, another week or two to find form me thinks.

but MM mentioned Levi in his letter this week. I think that means that Levi will be in.

The loss of Eddie is having a large impact but we should still be expecting a win.

dunno, but if they don't, you could always grab a support Hirdy sign, and wander around PP with it.

Most teams that travel to WA are usually 3-5 goals down before the game starts. I don't have the stats to back it up but I see it with my eyes almost on a weekly basis.

Mick talks of process leading to results - I get that and agree with that.
Perhaps the process has been a bit inconsistent the last few years ?

Big game this to learn a bit more about who stays and who goes.....
