    That's very true, and I don't want to think its not important. But a loss would not be a catastrophe either. I think as long as we can manage to turn at 8-3 or better, then we'll be very well placed to finish top 4. A win tomorrow night of course makes that easier, but a loss at this time of year isn't a catastrophe either. I just want us to go out and give a good 4 quarter effort and see where we are at truly compared to one of the best teams in the comp on their home ground.

    Time for the Big W to stand up in replace for Mummy. About time this farce was ended!

    Jesse was very impressive in the ruck last week and will be a ready-made replacement - as a ruck that is. I don't see him much as a forward nowadays except the odd rest up forward.

    I think he's better following the ball around anyway and his stoppage work has been pretty good from what I've seen I him in the NEAFL lately.

    Good luck to him anyway and I hope he puts in a solid performance....

    [QUOTE=aardvark;610671]White is the logical replacement regretfully. Now lets see...I reckon 4 hit outs, 1 mark, 3 kicks, 2 handballs and 4 frees against then subbed at 3/4 time.[QUOTE]

    That is a little harsh. Do you watch the reserves Aardvark? I do and he has been really good and deserves his chance now Mummy is injured. I think he can do just as well as Roughy in the ruck if not better, Jesse at least doesn't give away ruck frees each game.

    What's gunna happen when White & Pyke dominate the center square contests, & Jesse kicks 4 goals resting in the pocket? Then continues to do this until Mummy is fit again or Tippett resumes after suspension & either of the bigger guns have their spots seriously challenged by a Jesse While has realized his potential & earned a contract extension?

    I wouldn't be surprised if Jesse and Mike dominate in the ruck. We just need a decent return from both of them up forward. And I'd like Tipett battling for a spot in the seniors.

    White's late inclusion makes Morton's exclusion all the more unfortunate because they combine so well. However, I'm sure Lamb will do all that is asked of him and do it well, in whatever time he is allowed.

    Good luck big Jesse. You have the chance, here and now, to save your football career and remind us of what we saw in you. Don't let us down.

    (No pressure or nothin.)

    It's not overstating things to say Jesse is literally playing for his career tonight. Even if Mummy's injury is a minor one and he's back next week, this game gives White the chance to show the AFL world that he is a genuine mobile ruckman. If his time is up at the Swans when his contract expires at the end of this season, a good showing tonight might persuade another club to give him a go. Alternatively, he might prove to be a real bonus in this role for us.

    If my memory serves me correct, White is on a motza with us. An end-of-season delisting will free up a lot of space.
