I'd prefer Heeney to Rose, but I'm generally okay with whoever they decide to go with for Rose's spot, including leaving him in for this week. He was down this week, but otherwise has been good.
I still think Nanka is a better choice than Sinclair, although after hearing the story about the not issuing a penalty for the unauthorised Travis Cloke glove, I would stick with Sinclair if the he wears these gloves, and we can deal with the AFL next week:
Hehe! Yes I've been wondering whether a glove might assist solve Sinclair's marking problems. Wonder if he has ever tried wearing one, at least in training. Adam Goodes used to wear one on occasion, also Mike Pyke used one for a short time.
I've just been through this thread. In terms of atmosphere, I think that the SCG fans generally get the balance about right, at least where I sit in Bay 29. We have a player or two from the opposition that might cop a bit, particularly if he has done something dodgy on the night, or given it to us during the week (Sam Mitchell should be in for it this week), and we definitely express displeasure at bad umpiring calls, but we don't rip into the umpires on their way off the ground either. I don't go for the contrived stuff (eg Sweet Caroline) but when the "Syyyyyyyyyyyyydneeeeeeeeeeeeeyyyy" chant starts at the right time (when we're behind but are rallying and the crowd starts it, not the PA) and everyone's into it, it's fantastic.
Today's a draft of your epitaph
So have we heard if Stevic Is going to "umpire" this game yet??
