This is ridiculous. Unless Nank is a masochist, surely he would show Dimma how tired he is after every game.
Don't understand the Ross ommission, especially opting for Naish to start instead. Yes he hasn't been setting the world on fire, but i watched the replay the other night and i thought he played alright considering how the night went. Naish has been on the list for 4 years now? I just dont see what he brings overall. He is a good kick, moves alright, but not much else, bit of an in-between, nothing player, not good in the contest, not overly quick on the outside, doesn't find the ball enough, just too vanilla. Hoping that he now takes his chance and proves me wrong and becomes a good solid player for us, not holding my breath though.
On a separate note, Sportsbet has us at $1.49, that is ridiculously short odds considering the line-ups.
The Ross omission is baffling. Midfield depleted and we drop him for an outside flanker.
Disappointing selection, would prefer Ross and Ccj in the team, as i feel we have to many outside players and the balance is all wrong looking at the team by taking a big midfielder out of the team then using our other inside mid to ruck means we are going to get smashed in the clearances....for my ryan & Jason out for ccj and ross....then caddy as the sub.
We're starting to show some real 2016 traits at the selection table this year.
I'm getting more and more concerned.
The fact that our forward line stays as is from last week, minus our most damaging player (Bolton) is a very real worry.
I expect us to lose heavily this week. We will struggle to kick more than a half a dozen goals. And our best backline of all time is going to have to earn their paycheck.

Correct. Nayme EskapesMeeNau will be the first Bangladeshi refugee to play AFL. GWS fans have been screaming for his inclusion for weeks, generally ending their rants with the phrase, "Stop the EskapesMeeNau farce."
Clearly, with Naish and Ralphsmith in, we are asking experienced guys like Pickett, Baker, etc to play a greater role around stoppages.
Watch for Pickett, Baker, Castagna, Rioli, Aarts - as well as the regular mids - to target the second/third handball receive around stoppages.
It's crunch time - literally.
The supporters can see it at the end of every game but Dimma will not give him any good support and we get a burnt out Nank when we need him most. Add in CCJ into the mix and we would be more competitive
Looks like another game we may lose at the selection table. Starting to concern me now. Have had a lot of faith with team selections but this year alone we have dropped points purely due to baffling player selections
Interesting selections going with eight defenders and replacing Bolton and Edwards with Naish and Ralph-Smith. That's a lot less grunt in the team. I reckon Naish and Ralph-Smith will be lucky to get one clearance between them. I wonder if the plan is to all but conceed the contested ball and territory and try and counter attack from defensive fifty.
The only way another ruck gets a go is if Nankervis is unavailable and even then I’m not sure.
Can guarantee you Naish will be a momentum killer tomorrow night. Terrible selection. Would rather MRJ
