I must have missed the Get Smart reference by 'that much'

I gather from that the weather this weekend is supposed to be wet at the MCG?

Does changes things a little for mine. And probably make the margin either way fairly close.

By the way it'll be sunny warm and 30 degrees here in Perth today. Might head to the beach... :thumbsup:

Don't know how you guys live over there with that incessant heat.

Something not quite White about that side....

What the hell has Armfield done to miss out again ... we need his pace against Essendon*.

I would have chosen Ellard or Armfield or McLean before White ... we don't need another mid sized tall ... :hitcomputer:

MC ... WRONG again! ... BAD BAD BAD call. :mad:

missnaut · **Posted:** Thu Apr 14, 2011 5:09 pm

White??? Seriously?

Would have kept Thornton in for versatility and experience!

Springsteen · **Joined:** Thu Mar 22, 2007 8:08 pm **Posts:** 813

Agree at least thornton plays both ends

white, duigan and laidler, 10 games between em? sheesh

Springsteen · **Joined:** Thu Mar 22, 2007 8:08 pm **Posts:** 813

looking at their backline i think we can def stretch them there

cimm1979 · **Posted:** Thu Apr 14, 2011 5:13 pm

Ellard and Armfield = Steel.

On first reading B-.

ryan2000 · **Posted:** Thu Apr 14, 2011 5:14 pm

God.

How is droping White for a week going to do anything for his development.

Watson played well last week against easilly the best forwardline in the comp ATM. What makes Ratten think White will do any better?

Uh-Oh................... :mad:

............... Hendersons going to the backline! :banghead:

camel · **Posted:** Thu Apr 14, 2011 5:14 pm

Tbird is very stiff to miss out and so is Watson. :confused:

On the plus side, great to see Henderson fit and raring to go.

Bower obviously not ready, as surely he'd be in front of White.

Great to see Hendo back :thumbsup:

Would have liked to see Lucas or Ellard in for Carrots. Carrots and Eduardo must be on notice, and must play well this week to keep their spot ?

Henderson for Thornton is fine in isolation, but dropping Watson for White is a bit questionable.

Still undermanned in defence, but probably not the side that's going to be able to exploit us in that regard. Axe will be swung fiercely if we lose.

Starting to think we don't rate VFL form.

cimm1979 · **Posted:** Thu Apr 14, 2011 5:15 pm

Watson had to go or the Bummers would have gone through his man all night like the Pies did.

Springsteen · **Joined:** Thu Mar 22, 2007 8:08 pm **Posts:** 813

jamieson and laidler to take ryder and hurley. if laidler messes up throw walker on hurley. i think we can cover the other 4 well

Watson would have been perfect for Crameri.. What a joke this is...

Duigan seriously he should have been the one to get dropped whats he done to cement a spot in the 22 its like he is untouchable...

Where's Army? Surely you want to inject a bit of pace into the side.. T-bird is more reliable than White surely?

I was going to throw quite a bit of $$$ on us this week but i dont think selections have improved us at all, we lost a swingman (T-bird) and probably our best user out of the backline (Watson) for a guy who has suspect disposal.

Good to see Hendo back in, Carrazzo and Duigan are very lucky to still be in the side. Krueze would have been perfect for Patty can see him chopping us up on satuday...
