And very telling IMO, no SPS.

I try to understand the journey we're on, and as such I've haven't been too upset by our season thus far. It seems to be panning out about right for where we are at IMO - but I'd be pretty disappointed if we don't win this one. The Hawks are struggling at the moment, their ins are blokes I've never heard of, we play at the G etc. If this isn't winnable, I'm not sure what game is.

Yep. He may be looking at a ticket back to WA?
Reality always wins in the end.

Good to see TDK and SOJ return.

Absolutely confused that Casboult is named as 'managed' then named as an emergency... WTF!

Also good to see Williams named on the HBF... play him into form in a familiar position and to EARN a midfield spot.
Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17

Dunno @Baggers ... maybe if Harry's a late out?

I don't have any confidence in us winning this game. The abysmal performance by the selection team gets worse and worse. Gibbons, gets dropped. Somehow ends up as the emergency, then destiny dictates he plays a full game. Does SFA, again, but somehow that is good enough to get him back in the team. Morons the lot of them. The person I feel for the most is Paddy Dow. Was going OK before getting a busted eye and they drop him for getting subbed. Pathetic. Levi finally get the "rest" he so richly deserves, but I got a bad feeling he'll get a late recall. Parks wasn't that good last week but he just came back from a injury didn't he? No 2nd chances for blokes like him but Gibbons/Levi/Setterfield/Murphy get multiple cracks? Drives me nuts what they base  these decisions on.

100% Paul.

Finals, then 4 in a row!

Kennedy would be my first choice.
Honey 2nd.....sometimes you just need some new blood and enthusiasm.
Newnes 3rd.

Sadly though, Kennedy seems to underperform when he does get an opportunity in the AFL team; 16 disposals and two tackles in two games this season isn't anywhere near the output you need/expect from mid/forward in his 6th season.

I'd bank on the new blood and enthusiasm and give Honey a go.
It's still the Gulf of Mexico, Don Old!

Hopefully, we don't need him!

But if we lose a KPP, he can go play FF (with Jack), switch someone else back if required.
If its a mid, he can play there too.

But yes, he underperforms and i'd have him gone at the end of the year.

If it was for the 22nd player, rather than 23rd player, i'd go Honey or Newnes before Kennedy.

He was the sub v the Suns....then Rd 5 Teague plays him on a wing.....

Is that giving a 23yo a fair crack?

We wouldn't know whether he underperforms or not.
