OFFICIAL TEAM VS PORT RD 6

[saintsRrising]

TO be honest I am slightly amused by the amount of emphasis being placed on our inclusions.
Rix and Birss only have to be serviceable to be worthy of their selection.
On the other hand IF NDS kicks two goals, gets 25+ possessions, 10 hardballs and 5 tackles, we will win. Simple.

This is after all a string talking about the selections made this week....so hardly surprising that the focus is on the ins & outs......and those that missed out or could have missed out...etc

Last chance for Rix, don't get me wrong nice guy but he is not up to AFL standard, hell if he plays a blinder i will eat humble pie!

he doesn't have to play a blinder

all he has to do is his job as the number 2 ruckman

u can't expect him to be Dean Cox

Rumour going around is that Rodan will be a late exclusion with Pearce replacing him.

[matrix]

theres talk a few of the mids are a bit sore from the last three weeks (crows, lions, eagles)...Rodan was one of the players mentioned.

[Unforgiven]

Birss deserves a spot, has been very good for casey this year. A few best one as well as kicking some goals.
