    Aliir's ball handling has always been a weakness. He usually has at least one a game and we just hope that it's not too costly. It must be a lack of concentration, or taking his eye off the ball. He does tend to get ahead of himself a lot, thinking more about what he's going to do next rather than just getting a secure grip on the ball. It's something he will have to work on until he gets it right.

    I remember how frustrating it was with Grundy's fumbling, which has only really cleared up in the last few years. I hope it doesn't take Aliir that long to get things right.

    And even if Aliir is having a particularly fumbly day, we have to continue to use him and hope it rectifies itself. Otherwise, it's like playing a man short and heading for a loss anyway.

    I think this is Aliir’s problem, something that we old netballers know too well. Biggest cause of fumbling the ball playing netball.

    Rohan off the back flank to chase and tackle

    Reid deep forward and Buddy running the ground

    gonna be tough to beat these pr*cks 3 times in one year

    As much as I like Reg, can't see a good match up for him v GWS. Too slow to take either Cameron or Himmelberg.

    OUT : Fox, Hannebery, Dawson

    IN : Rohan , Franklin, Parker

    I'd much prefer Rohan than Hannebery....He's been giving us nothing but poor disposal and arm waving...At last Rohan will chase and show occasional flashes of brilliance.

    Fair point

    if we pick Rohan, then we are conceding this season. May win one final if we are lucky, but thats it.
    Id rather put faith in the kids, and give them finals experience.

    Interesting.
    So if they pick Rohan they are purposefully losing?

    I'm not sure Rohan is the answer but we have won a lot of finals with him in the side
    even if he doesn't touch it

    To be fair, he didn't say that.
    Read: "if we pick Rohan we may as well be conceding"

    I think we should select Rohan. Over the years I have come to enjoy the suspense. Is this the day? Will he finally do something? Oh well maybe next week.

    Leaving Reg out would not be very clever.

    He is more myth than man.
    15 finals, won 6, lost 9.

    Didn't he play in the NEAFL and was a late call up?
    The eternal connundrum "what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object" was finally solved when David Hasselhoff punched himself in the face.
