Word going round McDonald is a late out.

I’m not 100% how true it is

I spoke to a senior players wife this morning who told me there was a question whether Tom would be ok to go tonight. His back is giving him grief and he didn’t pull up well after the flight to and from Brisbane.

has been only 1m of rain in Perth since 9am.

There's a decent shower on the radar that should hit around 7:15pm Melbourne time but after that there is not much rain on the way.

The earlier strong winds seem to have died down to at most a stiff breeze (22km)

May not be as wet as some think

100% rain predicted all night, starting from 6pm and going through until about 11pm

I hope we make changes and go in a bit smaller....learn our lesson from the WB game

Going with the Weid who can't hold a mark in the dry. Mmmm

T Mac out

If true why put him through 8 more hours on the plane to Perth? Guess they thought he might improve. 

Weid to kick 5 and his trade value to go through the roof. Kill two birds with one stone!

There are isolated showers/storms there but no torrential rain. Calm the farm folks. Plenty of the game will be played with no rain.

We did have to fly over Monday and quarantine for 7 days, they wouldn’t have known that TMac wouldn’t be fit. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Not sure about QD, but I swallow a profanisaurus before each game...

What a game for Tmac to miss. Absolute crap. 

100% rain.  14c. Severe winds. Perfect Viney conditions.  I’d love Lockhart in but given options it’s likely Jordon or Vandenburg likely.

I do have some back problems myself and a day like they had would cause me the same problems. Hopefully if he plays he’s 100% if not I hope the rest helps 

If weid is in , does he play in backline on darling or oscar allen

Tmac out - Goodwin presser

JJ in for TMac

Jordon in not Weid…going small. Goody on 360.

Would have thought Vanders to hit in hard in tough conditions.

who's the medi sub?

Edited August 9, 20214 yr by Win4theAges

Goody just said on 360 that JJ will replace TMac

goodwin: going small, focusing on a ground ball game

Hoping that umpire 22 is not on the roster tonight

Nicholls, Dalgleish and Howorth. 
 

No 22 or Margetts, but here’s hoping Nicholls has finally forgiven Gawn for smashing the ball out of the ruck after one of his poor centre bounces.

Sub? JJ or AvB?
