I thought this might be the game in which Lucas gets his last chance (he may have already had his last chance), but the selections are hardly a shock.

Let's face it, we don't have many alternatives at the moment....

Cripps wouldn't give us more run and I'm quite comfortable to not rush him, particularly as he's said to be a bit behind with his fitness.
Garlett hasn't fired a shot all year at AFL or VFL level. I wouldn't have minded throwing him in for this game, but on the other hand there's something to be said for not gifting games to players who don't seem to have their heart in it.
Armfield is perhaps a bit unlucky - but is he the future either?
Holman, Temay Byrne & Reynolds are not ready for the AFL, not by a long shot.
Sheehan has missed the last week or two with injury.
Watson's only chance for selection is if Rowe or Casboult go down.

We don't need to tank this one......

Armfield's the disappointing one. He really seems to have gone backwards under Malthouse. He never had the best skills but is quick, tough at the contest and has a big heart. Can't work out why he doesn't get a spot in the team?

army has some niggles and isnt right

he cant get that burst

probably will get a spell as well

Played some of his best footy last year believe it or not under mick. As syn said, he's injured. Hence his late start to the season and really never recovered.

Doubt Carrots will play, but let's not all get panicky if he does - he's been our best interstate players for many years now and has a great record @ Subi - his fitness and gut running counts for plenty on that ground.

Reckon Lucas in for him..

The three outs aren't racehorses either.

Nice to see WA boy Blaine get a go and wouldn't mind the run of other WA boy Lucas if he gets a crack..

Carrotts is terrible in WA.
I remember the final V WC.


Horrible... horrible... horrible...

set them up almost singlehandedly...ably assisted by Davies...

Carrots is terrible everywhere Synbad, what are you talking about ?

Worst 12 minutes of football by a Carlton player in living memory.

Lucky this game isn't in Melbourne, very ugly outside.....

Carrots and McLean on Subiaco = ouch

Why remind me...he's almost retired and that nightmare will hopefully end.

I admire Carrots for...well....when he was our BP and his B&F year too....and the face he puled in the EF at the Bumbers player who missed the shot at goal....and for being in the oppositions face.

When fit and strong and aggressive and in form he was fantastic.
Hasnt shown much really other than defensive qualities in the midfield since the Lonergan assault.

What a stupid post.
When Garlett kicked 43 goals last year were your positive about Garlett?

Oh shit...the nightmare gets worse....[please no more of coulda would shoulda final

spot on. Perfect for Jeffy though

Not if he's not playing well or working hard enough. He simply doesn't deserve a spot. That fact is there isn't a lot to chose from.
