WERRIDEE

What the hell is wrong with you people we are playing the premiers and are only down by 7 points.

Not a great quarter Richmond had too much of the ball but we pegged them back which was important. Lever outstanding.

Good quarter. Lever, Baker and Petracca playing well. Good to see Oliver playing

We can

Where's Saty when you need him? Bloody hopeless

Shoulder

I picked the players that hadn't been in rehab don't know if Daw is fit enough. He might get a game in a week or 2 if it was up to me.

I'll try and pick the team before the squad comes out. B: PETTY, MAY, LEVER HB: SALEM, TOMLINSON, RIVERS C: LANGDON, PETRACCA, BAKER HF: LAURIE, MCDONALD, NEAL-BULLEN F: FRITSCH, JACKSON, SPARGO FOLL: GAWN, SPARROW, JORDON IC: BOWEY, ROSMAN, HUNT, HARMES, LOCKHART, CHANDLER, JETTA, JONES

SURPRISE PACKET TOM MCDONALD WHIPPING BOY SPARGO

Good to see Melkshams hamstring is only 2 weeks back in our best 22.

and Melksham we currently have a second string forward line.

Really disappointing I think just like the mens team they drink there own bathwater. Dominated the inside 50's but kept on kicking points mainly due to Zanker and Cunningham. Goldrick and Hore were massive outs can't be replaced. The other 2 irish woman are no good. Let's see if they can rebound against a side on fire in Collingwood it will be a hard task but hopefully they get Goldrick and Hore back.

Goldrick is a huge blow will be interesting to see if first gamer Magee can replace her like for like.

I think this will be the first year we probably will do that. We played Pickett, Jackson and Rivers early last year and remember the disaster of debuting Watts, Trengove and others early. I think this is the first year we can rely on the older blokes but saying that if Rosman, Laurie and Bowey's form warrants it they will get selected.

The young kids won't play not when you have Mitch.Brown, Jordon, vandenBerg, Sparrow, Petty and Jones in front of them.

You expecting us to lose that's a lot of outs for round 2. You don't even have Baker in your round 1 team how can he be dropped when he isn't in the team in the first place.

With Pickett he's still training even though it's by himself I think he'll be right.

I think he is

With Melksham now injured for a month at least too much of a risk to risk him for round 1 that now makes it 4 players out in Hore, Weideman, Ben Brown and Melksham here is my new team. B: HIBBERD, MAY, LEVER HB: SALEM, TOMLINSON, RIVERS C: LANGDON, PETRACCA, BAKER HF: PICKETT, MCDONALD, SPARGO F: FRITSCH, JACKSON, M.BROWN FOLL: GAWN, OLIVER, VINEY IC: HUNT, HARMES, BRAYSHAW, NEAL-BULLEN EMERG: VANDENBERG, JONES, SPARROW, PETTY CASEY B: LOCKHART, J.SMITH, JETTA HB: MUNRO, PETTY, BOWEY C: ROSMAN, JONES, VANDENBERG HF: LAURIE, WHITE, CHANDLER F: BEDFORD, DAW, FARMER FOLL: BRADTKE, SPARROW, JORDON IC: NEITSCHKE, D.SMITH, HUTCHINS, FOOT

With number 48 made famous by Jack Fitzpatrick given to Farmer I wonder what numbers Daw and Smith will get? My guess is Deakyn will get 47 made famous by Tom Couch and Majak will get 28 made famous by Oscar McDonald.

How long is he out for? I thought we didn't train today?

The 2000 final v Carlton where Green and Bruce tore them apart is my favorite.

I can't see Mitch or Daw getting a game early. I still think Melksham is best 22. McDonald and Jackson are the talls Fritsch as the 3rd tall Spargo and Pickett as the small forwards and Neal-Bullen on the bench. They will go taller when Weideman and Ben Brown get back into the side.

Hunt is playing down back
