How would Laidler, Watson, Duigan feel not to even be considered with all the players we are missing.

Tell yourself! What don't you get? You guys focus on this one in and that one out and it's all rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic. Who gives a shit what single player plays or doesn't. In the big scheme of things, beating Port will make no difference. After all, we beat Melbourne didn't we!!??

Until we're willing to REALLY upset the apple cart and do the equivalent of dropping Stevie J for 6 weeks, dropping Stokes for 10 weeks or whatever it was, sitting Gazza down and telling him he's a lazy flower, standing up to Scarlett and letting him know he's a knob...... we'll stay in the same predicament we've been in for the past decade.

Playing Waite this week will be another in a long line of shit decisions (or non-decisions) this average club has made in the last 10 years, right on the back of (in no particular order):

- not getting Fev to pull his head in (ie, not dropping him);
- allowing Pagan and Mitchell to behave like schoolgirls for almost a year;
- tolerating Lance showing up at the beginning of each year looking like a contestant on The Biggest Loser;
- tolerating a CAPTAIN holding out for more money every year and training on his own;
- not dropping Fev, Lappin, and Houlihan down to the twos for a month in a public statement......

There's more, but you get the flavour.

I'll trade you Waite's 3 contested marks in the FP and 2 goals 3 for a shock wave going through the playing group with a collective "Wow, they're fairdinkum! They're willing to risk not having a marking forward just to say we won't tolerate flowers here!!! Wow!! Time to pull our heads in and get serious!"

What part of multi 1 - 2's don't you understand?

To everyone who seems to think Waite should have been left out by the leadership group this week I ask you,

Has any team, coach, leadership group EVER imposed an extra week(s) ban for a suspended player in addition to that handed down by the tribunal?

And it doesn't count if it's a fringe player.
This is by far our best key forward in a team that is absolutely screaming for a key forward.
A guy that many believe to be the most important to our team, if not at least in the top 5.

Can't see how Jamison can be playing

More than likely team for Sunday

Scotland. Henderson. Joseph
Tuohy. White. Walker.
Robinson. Mclean. Armfield
Simpson. Waite. Bell
Garlett. Rowe. Hampson
Warnock. Murphy. Judd.
Bootsma. Curnow. Kruezer(rotate with Warnock in ruck only)
Sub: Menzel

In: Rowe. Bell. Waite. Menzal, Joseph, Bootsma
Out: Jamieson. Yarran. Ellard. LUCAS. Cachia

I realise the selection process... But I thought after last week, it would not even be a flicker of a consideration.

Patrick Ryder is better than Gumbleton yet was kept out for another week.

I agree... playing Waite is pi$$weak. the leadership team should have imposed another weeks ban

HAHAHA what a joke.
Gumbleton had kick 9 goals and 22 marks from his 3 games prior to Ryder not getting selected. He was in great form and didn't deserve to be dropped.

You seen anyone in the key forward ranks racking up those kind of stats for us lately?
