Straight Sets Simon

One thing we can rely upon from Matt Jones is that he will manage to somehow trip, tackle high and push in the back an opponent all at the same time.

Why are you whispering, Jack?

Final teams have been announced.

Grimes is out and Matt Jones is still in. Ridiculous team selection again from Roos.

I totally forgot that Tyson was playing in this game.

I'm no Spencer fan plus I rate again but I would have though he deserved at least one more week.

I notice there is a BBQ and merchandise for sale at training today. Making up for last time?

Good summary.

I hope the final bench is Brayshaw, Grimes, Toumpas, Michie (sub). McDonald to Cloke, Fitzpatick to White and Dunn to kick torpedoes from the goal square.

Paul Roos is taking notes for his next press conference.

I've been trying to forget all this, thanks for reminding me.

Are we more likely to play well because we have increased uncontested possessions or are increased uncontested possessions a result of playing well?

He can't tackle.

There's nothing wrong with not rating Toumpas highly (I don't either), we just don't need to read about it every second thread.

If he wants to leave he has to be traded. If Fremantle want him they simply have to give us Fyfe.

Yes, he probably would be a good player because Cameron Bruce had a putrid kicking technique and Watts is soft as butter. Sadly, getting any player who can get his own ball and use it well is not as easy as we would like. We seem to either get James Strauss or Jordie McKenzie.

Great, another Cameron Bruce thread.

The problems for me in the Port game were that Fitzpatrick didn't have a clear match up and that whilst Bail and Matt Jones performed roles against the Bulldogs, they weren't great with the ball in hand. Furthermore, our midfield is still incredibly weak and I feel that the likes of Newton, Riley (or Michie) wold offer more midfield support as opposed to Bail and Matt Jones.

I like Gawn, I always have but for the moment Spencer deserves to hold his place.

Put Morton and Evans on a wing each and I'm all yours.

What annoys me is that with Jetta and Viney back and no injuries last week we should have had a better team than we did against the Bulldogs.

Out: M. Jones, Bail, Fitzpatrick, Watts In: JKH, Tyson, Riley, Newton

Stop yelling.

The kick in was the turning point, we had all the momentum and he gave it up with that stupid barrel attempt.

He's right, let's all just let this sink in for a minute.
