Definite outs for me at this stage:

Nason (omitted)
Edwards (fractured cheekbone)

White in ?

Yes if he is fit but I don't think he'll come up

It was only concussion wasn't it? He should be right this week. What makes you think he wont get up WP?

As Jack's mentioned White has a shoulder injury and although I am not sure how bad it is but I reckon you are better to take the cautious approach with them

And BTW stick to the topic without the petty sniping

I'm not sure that personnel changes will help as much as a major attitude change will.

I'll be looking for;
- Defensive pressure in the forward 50.  This was nonexistent v the Dogs.
- Defensive pressure from our midfield, thru the corridor and getting back to help the defenders.  The criticism of our defenders has been harsh and not unwarranted, but the lack of pressure on the Doggies ball carrier and the resulting quality of delivery had a lot to do with it.
- A ruckman who watches the ball at centre bounces and taps the ball to our advantage occasionally.
- Better setups at stoppages in the defensive 50.  Didn't see the stats on Bullies scores from stoppages, but I'm thinking it wasn't good for us.
- Better setups in the F50 - it was too easy to double team Jack with too much crowding in the forward line.

That'll do for a start.

Muscles you'll be disappointed unless Browne plays.

I've been thinking about the Gus/Browne thing and I've been wondering if Browne has the fitness to ruck with only TV to back him up?  Would a Browne/Post combination be too top heavy against the Bumblers?

White has a shoulder
He has two shoulders, one left, one right -  :rollin - and he uses both to good effect on the footy field.

If he plays against the Bummers, just watch him laugh when one of them tests either shoulder and watch them cry when he barrells them with either shoulder too.

I wouldn't believe everything you read in the press mate. :shh

Richmond said "GENERAL SORENESS" - why would a journalist write SHOULDER? Maybe the typesetter didn't have room for two words.

If you have worked at a footy club then you would know all about - DUCKS and DRAKES.

Out : Edwards
In: Webberley or Tuck if available. Gourdis played well for Coburg maybe in the mix if selectors angry at Rance.

And I pay very little attention to what the Club injury list says only because they have a tendency not give a full list of who's injured let alone what the problem is....O'Reilly, Jakobi, Thursfield Connors weren't listed for weeks want me to go on  ;D
