I doubt they'll replace Sinclair with Nankervis at this point, particularly given their respective experience and also noting it sounded like Nankervis picked up an injury on Saturday. Having said that, Sinclair needs to pick up his game.
I thought Cunningham was OK. His disposal efficiency (75%) was better than most, and he got himself in space quite often. His speed will be valuable at Subiaco.
I suspect it will be McVeigh for Foote, if he's recovered, otherwise no changes.
Why oh why the love for mcveigh?. He gets found out against pressure and will be a liability in the finals
He's been a regular in our best after a slow start ( no pre season or reserves matches to find touch mind you) before getting injured. You seriously think he adds nothing to our team at his best ( which he was close to over the past month or so)Originally Posted by barry

Are you sure?. I don't see any votes for mcveigh in the coaches award.
He has shown nothing this year to warrant displacing anyone in our defense against carlton.

I'd add K.Jack to this. I believe our captaincy arrangement is poor. They both show little leadership at crunch-time.
Why are McVeigh & Jack co-captains? Suspect it's because they're from north of the Murray.
IMO - Kennedy s/b sole captain.
Look harder
Cunningham only gets a touch against lesser sides. Hard ball gets not in repertoire.
How many votes ?

Nankervis did go off for treatment but came back on and finished the game.
I noticed while watching the seniors replay that there was a stage midway in Q2 that both Naismith and Sinclair were shown on the bench, with Towers rucking. Sinclair at that stage hadn't contested a ruck contest in that 2nd quarter. Was he injured? He looked like he was strapping on some massive shin guards.
I thought it was a case of hard ball gets not in job description, which I think is more like collect ball from hard ball getters, kick to leading forward/s. He is one of our better kicks for accuracy.
He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team. (John Updike, seeing Josh Kennedy in a crystal ball)
Sinclair has had the lowest TOG % in the past 2 games, with the exception of the injured Zak Jones, 66 and 61, respectively. That'pretty low for any player. I also noticed that he had those patella tendinitis straps on both knees. We'd probably like to use him in Perth on a ground he's familiar with, but I think he's got knee problems and is struggling. If Nanka is fit, I'd prefer him to Naismith. The ground is likely to be wet with rain predicted for the weekend and I think those conditions suit Nankervis better.
