Changes v Eagles - Jack W out?

Not sure if it has been mentioned here,

I really liked that Mark Thompson came out and berated Joe Daniher about putting his hand up to play when he wasn't really fit to play after his collarbone injury, and called him selfish and not putting the team first.

I look at Grimes on the weekend, and the situation is no different, the one person that truly knew if he was fit to play was Grimes himself. The fact that he re-injured the same hamstring in basically the same place suggests he wasn't 100% right to me, and I would argue that Grimes isn't showing leadership by coming back from a hamstring earlier than he should. That action is selfish and 2 weeks for a hamstring injury (given Grimes history with back and hamstrings) is not what I would call a good example for the club, team or younger players.

I might be wrong, but it's not like we were playing for finals.

I felt that even if he was 100% right, hes not one of best players who should come back in. I wanted him to come back by the VFL. If he had of done that i wouldn't have been surprised if he also got a poor review in the VFL.. Roos should set the precedent, if injured you lose some form of conditioning so first game back is through VFL, then it may be sub in AFL then full game as an example. Obviously if it is for a superstar you might alter it, but Grimes isn't that.

Hammy is very different to shoulder (which I think Daniher had). Grimes would've been put through the usual testing and if a hammy isn't 100% then he won't be able to complete it. With a shoulder, you can always fake running and dropping in to pads.

Will be interesting selection tonight.. You'd think Pedersen with 3 goals, 22 touches, 11 marks and 36 hit outs would have to been an inclusion. We can't go in with Gawn, Dawes, Pedersen, jamar on the big ground.. Gawn was ok last week. So who makes way for Pedersen?

Would love to see a statement made and drop jamar and maybe give gawn a crack at been first ruck against cox & nic nat.. Other than that maybe Pedersen plays as a permenant forward and we [censored] frawley off

As I posted on another thread Jones, Watts, Howe and Gawny have all travelled just saw them having a kick on Langley Park in Perth CBD

I wonder if they will all be wearing Red and Blue this time next year PSD.

Whats the local vibe?

A percentage builder for WCE?

Its different, but the result was that he reinjured a hamstring that he did only 2 weeks ago, I am not a physio, but I always thought that for most people 2 weeks is a bit short... let alone Grimes who has had it before.

With Grimes out Frawley can go back into defence and Pedersen goes into the forward line. With the forward line WCE is likely to have we'd likely need him back there anyway.

My best guess is Toumpas...?

you have done well - I had zero idea

Good point. Still think we'd be too big up forward on the big ground... We've seen Pedersen, Dawes and Gawn in the forward line a few times and hasn't seemed to work too well.

Not that matters all that much because we ain't gonna win

If JKH, Salem or Kent play they should run them through the guts. One at a time. I realize they'll get exposed with strength and prob defensive pressure around stoppages but we have zero to lose and may well get an advantage out of them offensively.

Douoas..lol

I thought it meant we were putting Spartacus up for sale - at least I think that's who Kirk Douoas played.

Am I missing something (again)?

Nope Watts is playing....

'Playing'.......

Getting beaten in the air and ground by Bennell

Watts chooses when he wants to go. If he had the same attitude as Nathan Jones, it wouldn't bother me as he'd go hard at every contest, but he only goes when he absolutely must. It is a p!$$ weak attitude, and the sooner it is gone the better. If he was a lower pick, he would have already been moved on.
