with all the media hoo-hah going on about GWS, the Tiges do this and slay them.
it's inspired on many levels, a beautiful decision. not because of this or that, but because of all of it. what a football club.

Cheese Sandwich. Don't know if it's the right call but it's certainly the ballsiest call I can remember

Won’t be a bad call but might be a great call. At worst he breaks relatively even with Ross and K. At best he turns a 7 goal win into a 10 goal win.

Probably cheese sandwich. Going to win regardless of which of the three we picked to play.

Needed a mid-fielder....so not KMac
Down to Ross or Pickett.

Needed a mature, experienced hardnut. Ideally an X-factor. In form, big occasion player. Comes from the mighty South Fremantle club who delivered us Norm Smith medallist mighty Maurice Rioli.

Jack Ross very unlucky. Will get plenty of future chances, hopefully next year after a big pre-season.

If nothing else it seems to have thrown a massive spanned into the media. I wouldn’t be surprised if this sways a few neutral supporters.

An Inspired decision.

Tough as nails & a real talent.

My confidence level has risen as a result of Marlion’s selection.

Cheesey sanga.
Nothing at all to get nervous or stressed about. It's all about run what ya brung n see how ya go.
We'll have 22, GeeWhizz will have 22 n the maggots will stick their noses in at times. If we're good enough we win, if not *smile* happens n go again next year.


There's only one slight area that bugs me when it comes to Grannies n that's the retiring player. Nothing to lose n nothing to care about except winning the flag. Seen plenty of these types go the biff over the years at various levels n while there used to be come back, the game, career n income of players remaining involved virtually eliminates righteous justice now.
Bit pointless giving a retired player a ten week suspension after he's retired.
Players taking out opponents should be sin binned for the same period that their victim is unavailable for.

We will get more out of Pickett or Ross than we got out of Graham's heroic effort last week.

More worried about playing 2 x lumbering ruckman against the 1.

If GWS run us off our feet, we lose.
