NO CHANGE

So no Kerr

Heavy tag on another mid

Dempster to take Le Cras, where he'll find himself not even able to escape into the mdifield

Probably rotate a few on Shuey

Who else do they have to take advantage of their No.1 ranked ruckmen?

Jack Steven that's who!

Bakes was also an emergency last week, BB.

Junction Oval · Thu 14 Jul 2011 6:38pm

My concern is that they will double team McEvoy and wear him down.
Cox is not one for an exhausted McEvoy to ruck against.

We don't have any "pinch-hitters" good enough to tackle Nat & Dean.

Why was Kosi left out? If it was general fitness, half a game would have been ok with me.

Kosi's form this season doesn't warrant selection.

Kossi's last game warrants his selection

Junction Oval, last weeks emergencies were McQualter, Geary, and Siposs.

Glad to see Armo, Lynch and Steven retain their spots.

A big test for Armo and Steven and young Mac up against Cox and Natanui.

Really it is fascinating with kerr out who is at almost career best form.

Certainly WCE haven't got to where they are on his back alone but he is a significant out.

Our mids will have to rove extremely well.

Am concerned that big Mac will get worked over. Lots of bj and Gilbert and Roo third man up in the stoppages around the ground.

Prey that mac dowesn't go down with an injury or we are really up against it.

Really interesting selections.

Kosi should be in! Madness

not necessarily.

Perhaps he got injured at training?

We are talking Kosi afterall!

Also, he's terribly slow and perhaps doesn't matchup well against the WCE.

What about The Blake?

I would've thought he go OK against them.

Kosi belting out One Step Beyond or Night boat to Cairo would truly be a sight to see.

Suggs might be pissed though.

If McEvoy were to pull out before the game, our tallest emergency is Geary. Not very bright.

Yup BB, this is our biggest fear. If Mac pulled up sore tomorrow, we wouldn't have a ruckman against Cox and Natinui.

We would look idiotic.

InkerSaint · Thu 14 Jul 2011 7:24pm

What's the bet we'll see Lynch at a couple of centre bounces! Oh the humanity.

Maybe a few, but their major clearance winning mid is out.

We now have the luxury of tagging another mid out of the game, just how deep does their ball winning depth go?

I am warming to the idea.

Don't underestimate Priddis. He is a very, very good player.

gringo · Post: # 1104826Post **gringo** » Thu 14 Jul 2011 7:38pm

Priddis up until this year has been getting heaps of ball but not that damaging with it. Kerr and Embley back gives him space and no tag thus better use. Kerr out is a big loss and puts pressure back on him and Shuey to carry the midfield. Nic Nat and Cox are going to beat who ever goes up against them so why not bring in a rover and let them touch it first as long as we get it second. Mac just has to compete and not allow them to smash it forward to space and he has done his job.

Big evening for Ben

Cox is an aerobic freak......for a 6'8" giant he covers the ground like a mid..

Natinui has explosive power

Big evening to go Solo.....they are a step up on whoever that R-tard was last week....

Very strange emergencies. Three small negating players? Leaving Roo as our only tall forward against Glass/Schofield and McEvoy as our only ruck against Cox and Naitanui? Not to mention we could have brought Blake in to help out with Lynch, Kennedy and Darling to free up Fisher or Gwilt. I really hope this isn't another game lost because of stubborn, conservative selection.

Emergencies dont play so you and me could be 2 of them. I agree our selections have been strange lately as we have won 5 of the last 7. Previously the selections were good bt unluckily we couldnt win.

BigMart · Post: # 1104855Post **BigMart** » Thu 14 Jul 2011 8:36pm

This is the third actual contender we have played in the last Seven games

Contenders in the top 8

I'm not, no Kerr means Priddis could get Jones.

Jones will go to an outside damaging mid.......he never tags an insider

Thomas, harvey orwells, hill, murphy, stanton etc...

Can he still play even though he wasn't named as an emergency or does that constitute a fine???

Won't know till tomorrow, sorry sunday anyway

I think this will be the day that Ben shows the footy world what hes got. I think he has the engine to ruck 90% and ruck well.

He's more of a ruck rover. We'll lose the majority of the hit outs, we've conceded that. I doubt having Kosi in would have changed that outcome. McEvoy will be there to create a contest and ensure WC don't hit to many to advantage. We are looking to have the extra run in our smalls / mediums with the one ruckman.
