Ins - Murphy, Lang, Pickett, Marchbank, Phillips, Harry.

Outs - Special K, Plow, Daisy, O'Shea, Lamb, de Bolt.

And maybe Graham for O'Brien/Polson too!
Finals, then 4 in a row!

Will we bring in Phillips or Lobbe, and let Rowe go forward again this week, should we?

For me it's;

Out - Casboult, Kreuzer, Plowman and O'Shea out

In - Phillips, Shaw, Pickett and Lang.
Team balance will dictate the type of player but I would prefer to see Big H over Shaw as he and Phillips are logical replacements for Casboult and Kruezer.

I suppose that assumes we would have been better with Casboult playing in F50 instead of Rowe! I'm not so sure.

I think after half-time Jones and Weitering got their act together in D50 while Rowe was rucking, but then our F50 suffered. I'm not sure Casboult gives us better structure than Rowe did in the limited period of time, or if Cripps was less effective in Casboult's absence. I realise Crippa cannot be everywhere, but between him, Rowe and Charlie we had an aggressiveness in the F50 that we do not normally show. If our small forwards had been on song we may well have won even though we had limited opportunities!

O'Shea was a liability, Shaw looks to be in better form and can play tall.

Neither in the mix, Marchbank underdone, Murphy not ready yet.

I hate the thought of playing guys who are not 100%. However, all clubs seem to take that in their stride. I don't understand that, I really don't. I just hope we select guys who are truly fit and not just because of desperation.

Not fussed by the result, just want to see total commitment & pressure again.

The first half VS Freo was abominable and has to be erased from recent memory, the only way to do that is by giving everything from the get-go till the final siren.

The games against Geelong, Sydney & Collingwood have been pretty good considering the young ages & limited experience we have running on to the field.

Port rate us so lowly and slowly they are going to play former Melbourne captain and definitive AFL snail Jack "The Treacle" Trengove against us!

I shudder the thought that we run him into good form! :o

Really though, Who, apart from Charlie, do we have up forward that is a) quick, or b) more than average skillwise?

Pickett if he plays.

Garlett.

His issue is application not ability which is why irrespective of the fact he isnt firing right now, I think he was well worth the effort we went to in order to get him.

He is having his first year back at the top level after a Hiatus and needs to be viewed as more draftee than mature recruit too.

My point is if you want to give a guy a chance to prove himself, and that guy is slow as a barge, we are the team to do it against.
