Official Team for Round 10

[Penelope]

sheesh white. unlike most i reckon hes been ordinary.in fact id say we got almost as much out of helbig as we have white.
 we lost a key forward in post who also backed up in the ruck and replace him with miller fair enough but we lose our best tall defender and replace him with white sheesh.
when are they going to give gourdis or astbury another go.
why do we stuff around with our structure so much.id like to see at the least one of astbury or post in the side if not both.
 why do we play so many smalls with ordinary skills.

port with oshea and moore on the bench are really quite a tall side they go in with 9.
also up there in the humidity browne will need decent breaks this means vickery has to come out of the forward line. for a reasonable amount of game time.
i bet my bottom dollar port end up loading up their forward line with talls in an attempt to stretch us down back.

It is unlikely the humidity will be a factor

[Jackstar is back again]

Tuck was playing well before he got injured, he adds plenty of grunt. You would have to give him the benifit of the doubt this week but I recon he'll be better for the run last

Why should he get the benefit when Post doesnt ??

[eliminator]

Totally agree with Tiger From Tas. Tuck will be better for the run. Tuck is coming back from injury Post isn't. Having siad that I would have kept Post in. Don't believe there was a huge need to rush in White.

[Penelope]

could be a number of reasons for that Jack.

could be that the coaching staff were happy with how tuck was playing before he got injured and are willing to give him leeway after missing a couple of weeks of football.

could be that for whatever reason they were unhappy with post's effort last week.

could also just be a structural issue - we need to improve out contested ball/clearances.

could simply be that tuck over the course has earned the privilege of getting that benefit, where as post still has to prove himself.

[Jackstar is back again]

using your theory then, how on earth does Helbig get a game then ?

[Penelope]

not a theory jack, just musings.

As none of us have an insight into what the coaches are asking of players all we can ever do is guess.

I reckon Tucky should take a tattslotto ticket, his luck is in

Agree I thought he really struggled

His problem IMHO was last week when he got the ball he had to actually stop and make a decision rather than just throwing it on his boot - got caught out with poor decision making and terrible disposal

Also, think Helbig is lucky as well, was well off the pace last week, almost "overawed" - again IMHO

could be because he was shocking....

[Infamy]

I don't get the big deal
Post came in for Miller who was ill so the positions swap back
White returns from injury, he replaces a tall most likely because the match committee want an extra runner for such a big ground in high heat, just happens to be that tall in Grimes is injured anyway

As for every one else, after the win we had is it such a surprise that they aren't making wholesale changes?

so tuck stays and fair enouigh especially if contested ball/clearances are a concern,  but who did we bring in to help with contested ball/clearances.

[Penelope]

who could we?

Hislop wont be far away. it's possible him and tuck could be vying for the same spot.

[WA Tiger]

Mmmm, two talls out....
