Read my lips
For those jumping to conclusions:-
1) R. Clarke and Gilbert turning into 6 foot 2 plus running mid-fielders
2) Watts and Brooks sit behind Roo, Kosi and Gehrig, a pretty formidable trio
3) In line for promotion this week are R. Clarke, Voss and Birss.
4) The Fremantle rucks (Whoever and whoever) are each getting 20 odd posessions a game
Before jumping to conclusions, read what the coach is saying.
As an extension to 4), I am unaware of the size of Fremantle's rucks, but have read some where that they are more mobile mid-sized followers - and Lyon does not want them contributing 20 odd possessions to their team - hence the specific match ups which are typical of Lyon and his coaching staff.

Good analysis. I hope that the tactics work out.To the top wrote:For those jumping to conclusions:-

To clarify, earlier this week, before selection on Thursday night, the coach listed those whose form had them in contention for promotion this week - and named the 3 who were, in fact, promoted.
Savvy?
So how much notice is taken of what the coach actually says?
Because it is pretty relevant I would think!
