WHO ARE WE AGAIN?

Josh Mahoney said to me that Gawn and Kent were in the mix but felt they needed one more week to overcome illness and injury, as its a big step.

He indicated that both were seriously in the teams long term plans, and will be in sooner rather than later.

Absolutley 1st tackle drive him into the ground

Yes, I get the feeling WCE are bringing Carr and LeCras back in this week as they believe this will be little more than a training run for them... we need to show them that they have badly miscalculated on that score... rattle them and they will have essentially come to play with 20 instead of 22.

I'd rather they don't ruin his confidence in a 100+ point loss. I'd rather see him have his first go around against GWS next week.

Me too and maybe the selection panel have a succeed or die attitude to Silvia and Jamar this week. At least we have a few young options on the horizon. Perhaps next week we'll hopefully see a few.

How can Watts get confidence sitting at the MCG. He's not going to Ballarat he's emergency!

It's just an unfortunate case of scheduling, and a few taller guys out with injury- Dawes, Joel Mac, Dunn, and Gillies. Those last three would be better options as an emergency, however the team needs to be covered in case a tall is a late withdrawal.

They obviously want to get game time into guys like Gawn and Strauss (Spencer is an emergency, but Gawn would be above him in the ruck pecking order).

Watts will get there, although I think he might struggle to make the AA team this year, as predicted by the Ox pre-season.

Actually Hardtrack I have been told they are a little bit worried about the game not that they don't expect to win, but at 0-2 they are expecting us to come out fighting hard early and don't want to be ambushed. Had they been 2-0 or even 1-1 they may have been given another week. Kerr takes a good tag and is fantastic at the stoppages where they have been smashed in their first two games, the Frenchman is just pure class and also can rotate through the middle. Solid effort from our boys will prove your last sentence correct

As a supporter of this football club, I expect the team to come out fighting every time it plays and not just when it's under the pump from all and sundry.

Alot of people need to realize that Kent has been ill the last few weeks. If he was 100% fit then i am sure he would be in the mix.

Great pickup at 48
