TEAMS: Rd 21 vs West Coast

[Demonland 73,266]

Looks to me like Vanders or Jordon for Viney, Weideman on standby for TMac.

Harmes named on the field just to troll everyone who made the laughable suggestion that he’d be dropped.

I’m happy to see Melks in ❤️?

Oh come on Nasher, it was hardly laughable to question whether he had a good game last week. Just because you disagree doesn't make it a ridiculous suggestion.

[titan_uranus 25,052]

I'd go Jordon for Viney and vandenBerg the sub. But it wouldn't be ridiculous to try Melksham in Viney's role, with a greater portion of time spent in the forward line.

Weideman the late call up if TMac doesn't make it.

J Smith named just to frustrate me.

[Dee Zephyr 19,269]

I’d bring in Vanders for Viney, let him play his 50th in front of a crowd.

[titan_uranus 25,052]

Meanwhile West Coast has made a big statement by dropping Xavier O'Neill and putting Waterman, Hutchings, Rotham and West on their extended bench...

But seriously, if Vardy plays (and I think there's a fair chance he will, to provide ruck support for Naitanui who will blow up after 15 minutes of trying to follow Gawn and Jackson around the ground), I hope we're into him from the first bounce. For whatever reason I cannot and won't forget him mocking Gawn after Ryan took mark of the year on his head in 2019.

Also means no Barrass, Ryan or Shuey for West Coast this week.

I know it was always going to happen, but I love that they stuck with Bowser.  Looked completely at home in his debut last weekend, and adds a valuable touch of class.

Wasn't that long ago you thought Harmes might come out for Melksham or vandenBerg mate...

Nah, I did actually laugh when I saw those suggestions and I did think it was ridiculous. His game was imperfect, and he’s an imperfect player, but there was a massive overreaction on here to one or two poor bits of play. He was never going to be dropped.

So? I never said I get it right all the time, in fact I most certainly don’t. I just thought this one was a pretty easy situation to read.

Alright mate, bit 'sharp' lately compared to the chill Nash we've always known, hope things are ok.

Will be interesting to see what happens with TMAC. I don't think he would have gone if they were worried about him playing.

According to Ben Gibson, T Mac hasn’t taken part in full training just yet over there but they’re confident he’ll be right.

Can the Monday teams be fiddled around with or are Shuey and Barrass certain non inclusions?

Shuey usually kills us.

No Hibberd named. I'm telling you titan, it's going to happen ??

Not if they're not named in the emergencies.

[Diamond_Jim 12,642]

no Hibberd is a little surprising... will be interesting to see how the defence structures up against a more agressive forward line than that which GCS served up last week.

Pretty sure you could arrange a training mishap   and then put up another emergency, probably be a fine but they would not be stopped

Unfortunately I think he's finished. His past couple of games he's looked cooked.

Then what? They have to arrange another training mishap to get them into the side.

not convinced that Bowey is the right replacement though. Could be interesting.

Seems Lockhart has missed his chance

They are definitely not playing
