According to mmm James will be a late change tonight. Huge loss I reckon as he is the stable one down back. So who should we bring in. Pettard, Tappscott and Fitzpatrick are our emergencies. Maybe Pettard can come in and Watts can play back.

This will put pressure on Rivers now and Joel macdonald will really have to stand up.

We've gotta be tanking...

Wont make much difference to the likely outcome.

Did they give a reason for the omission?

This makes some sense. nick48 on O'logy who attended training for a short sharp session yesterday stated Frawley unusually finished doing some laps. Hinted that something may be amiss with him.

That's all I've got.

From Demonology yesterday

Nick48 - Frawley – trained, ended by doing laps on his own.

IRW- Are you implying that Frawley is carrying a niggle?

Nick48 - it might be nothing - just thought it a bit odd at the time - he's named so maybe nothing.

Im wondering whether im even gonna bother going tonight after that news. My wife just told me she doesnt want another weekend ruined...

but who would he play on??.. i dont mind it.. he hasnt exactly been on fire the last few weeks and with kosi out, i cant see a match up for him.. garland/watts -rooey rivers-stanley.. the rest of their fwd line are full of little tip rats.. bring in tappy and lets get some proper rebound out of our backline

Calf they reckon

Perfect opportunity for Watts to play down back. Neeld hinted as much the other day too.

Not really perfect. So Sylvia will be our tall target up forward?

Maybe not having a tall target up front will force our mids to lower their eyes and aim for a leading forward such as Petterd, Sylvia or Howe.

Agree with that, but wouldn't it be better for Watts to be taking that opportunity too seeing we want him to be a forward and not a KPB?

You ll know we are when u see morton playing as full back

I always thought Fitzpatrick was to come in with that side.

Now 'if' Frawley is out, guess who'll likely play back, as hinted at these past few days. I reckon anyway.

Well, I suppose there's still a chance that Fitzpatrick might get the nod.

Well, Morton, I don't know if you realise what you've said. But you given me an Idea. I wonder if it's what they're contemplating?

HAHAHAH. Yes... How is it we used to nearly win games we were trying to tank yet cant win a game when we're trying to win

Frawley and Clark are our two most important players IMO. They are the rock of the forward and backlines, the strong bodies, the confidence, the generals. Having them both out this week will be disastrous!

You're kidding arent you?? Cant see a match up for Frawley!! Doh!

Neeld in a presser this week said he would play forward and wing....

A scary thought indeed. Now we'll have no forward to not deliver too... Rivers will have a tall order...

Neeld is having an each way bet.

I heard Mitch Clark is out there? Can anyone confirm?

Yeah, I heard that too... Three quarter time break at GWS game, it was mentioned. But if he wasn't named in the original side, how can that be?
