If it were legal, Caleb Daniels value would increase. Imagine how high Preuss could toss him. 

He could practice tossing Charlie

I inquired into players making a human pyramid once before and was informed it was against the rules for players to stand on each other’s shoulders in front of the goals. I thought I had successfully come up with a way to hack the game.

You are correct Ethan. They cannot piggy back or intentionally lift a teammate or pyramid up to increase the chances of touching the kick for goal. Having said that, I'd like them to try the Aussie Eurovision contestant's balancing pole

That is not positive - Preuss is needed.

We play better with him in the side imo. Gives us something different up forward and big support for Gawn. He is in our best 22.

Me too dazzler. Always love seeing new players and i didn't like Petty getting only the one game last year. Exciting.

How do you see them playing Petty?

I suspect they may play him as the lose man, goal keeper role Frosty has been playing allowing him to take Darling or Kennedy Kennedy. Good hands and reads the ball well by all accounts. Not sure how good his kicking is but has to be better than Frosty. Gig challenge for Frosty and OMac. If Petty plays well and keeps his spot, one of those players will come out for Lever.

Pretty much just answered for me.

Petty's kicking is very neat and clean. Go watch his under 18s highlights and you will see someone who ises the ball extremely well.

Ok, so what have we done here. A couple of running machines, and a couple to give some flexibility. Preuss is one dimensional. Have a look at Viney’s words during the week, I sense that these lads have a point to prove here. West Coast aren’t travelling all that well, and they bring in a guy who they say will only play 60% game time. Smacks of arrogance. This game will will go down to the wire, and at $3.70, if you have a lazy $200.............

No Preuss, so again maxy will be targeted and without proper ruck support. 

What happened last time we played em with one ruck!!!!!!

FMD some of these selections do my head in. 

Preuss is in Perth, isn't he ?

I really don't mind it.  Go Dees!!

That's great.

Our two biggest deficiencies kicking skills and speed, in that order. Petty helps with kicking and Baker with speed.

What about leaping above the man on the mark like trying to  take a hanger.  Line up several blokes to try in turn in case you don't time it right.

I have always wondered why players don't propel teammates in the air as they do in rugby line outs, though instead of lifting them lock their hands together and hoist them up like they do in the circus.. Imagine how high a big fella could fling a little fella.       Would make stopping goals a lot easier.

Is that against the rules?

Gill will have a problem of how the little fella comes back down to earth,  deepleted of Oxygen.

Bugga hopping up there... but I would be a volunteer to hold the pole for her.     ?

I don't think we would take him on a long plane flight for note.

As someone has said,  maybe Oscar is out...  or maybe Gawn flays forward.

Maybe de Tracta is out ?

It is an emergency!

break the glass, he needs to play!!

I believe that Preuss could possibly play. Tom Hickiey  WCE is their ruckman and named as an emergengy and could come in to double team with Vardy.  Preuss would have to travel with the team.and could play regardless and he is our insurance for Gawn. Petty to play key back  and Omac to be replaced by Preuss  I hope.   Why would Preuss be an  emergency? How lucky is OMAC? 

Can't wait to see Oskar Baker play.  

I’d say one of the backs will play forward and tag J McGovern

It’s ok the umpires will just give you a warning for it, then the AFL will come out in support of the umpires claiming they made the right call in the spirt of the game, then the AFL will hand a whopping great fine to all the players involved in the pyramid scheme claiming they brought the game into disrepute.

Sounds a lot like our 'not guilty' tanking fine of $500k!

The AFL  may be upset they missed out on the pyramid scheme. Some people made a lot of money from those things in the 80s, from what I remember.

Scrapping the barrel here I fear. Neither Oscar or Harrison have done enough consistently at VFL level to warrant a call up. But these are desperate times so let’s hope they put in blinders or at least contribute.

We excel at going ugly inside 50. The challenge is to get it in quick enough so that the forward line is not clogged up

That's the key element and IMO unless he gets the late call up probably why Pruess may be out.

Need to be winning the ground balls inside 50, Big Pruess lacks mobility and could be a very dewy night in Perth if tonight is any indication

Yep it’s cold here tonight that’s for sure...much colder and more dewy tomorrow night also...looking forward to it.

Agree on Preuss
