You're only making forced changes after a win like that, so it's Sumner, Armfield, Murphy and White for Byrne and whoever suits.

White is not a forced change.

There isn't a spot for him in defence, and you're overselling his performance.

You need to appreciate moments in games more Jim. White was crucial to the win.

Plenty more crucial moments from plenty more crucial players. I loved the win, but White doesn't have a match up in defence, he doesn't have a match-up in midfield, and there's others in and out of the team who would play before him up forward.

Unless Plowman or Weitering pull up sore, he's out.

Feel however you'd like - I just think you're plain wrong. You're letting your own personal views and preconceptions get in the way of actual performance.

The stats back me up as well; he was our weakest defender today.

I think sending 4 talls in against Brisbane's forward line is a mistake, especially after all the petrol tickets spent today.

OK, fair enough, please explain those stats.

From what I saw in H2 his desperation saved many goals.

I know the guy makes mistakes, in some games, many, but his second half was incredible for desperation and drive off half back. To me it felt like he knows he has to do that to stay in the best 22 - which should suit us all.

Looking forward to next week.
Last time they beat us and Robbo was BOG.
He's playing ok and saves his best for us.
Bell kicked a lazy 4 before 3/4 time flashing into the play at the right time as he used to do for us. I liked him in Navy Blue and enjoy following him at Brisbane. I hope he does well for them but not against us. Just so, he will have to be watched.

They will start fast and fade out. We have to stay with them early or get in front. Otherwise we will have to run them down.

Looks like Murphy, Sumner, maybe Armfield all injured. All smalls. The Twos had the bye, which is a bummer. Based on last week, Tutt and Graham would be a chance, also but less likely, Buckley. KJ might also get a shot if Gorringe goes. Personally I thought he was a lot better than last week as a forward rather than taking on ruck duties. The issue is whether Bolton wants to go tall or not.

If we lose I will be both surprised and disappointed. This team is hard and Bolts should have the lid on everything and we know he has them playing consistent footy. The days of wild ups and downs seem to be over. We look like getting a pick between pick 6-9 now. First pick and a priority pick are gawn..

Equal 3rd (with two other defenders) for intercept possessions, middle of the road for pressure acts, less 1%ers than some of our key forwards.

Limited scoring involvements, was the least used defender on the day we had two go down, and if you factor in that Weitering went off for an injury assessment, it was by some margin.

He has one possible match up next week: Bell. If Weitering is fit, White is the first player to be omitted; Lamb and Gorringe are a distant second and third.

White was fantastic.

Assuming Sumner can't come up probably only he goes out and Byrne back in. Jakesh for Gorringe maybe, but I thought Gorringe was ok

Uber impressive second half (only half I saw); lots of 1 on 1 wins, lots of metres gained.

Disagree. Will see at selection.

I look forward to 4 talls at either end against a quick side at a narrow ground on a hard track; what could go wrong

Don't worry jimmae, we're just testing the debate waters for a jimmae-BV alliance.
