    We are playing 2 first year players in Blakey and Rowbottom, and 2nd year player McCartin, who played plenty as a rookie as well. So playing 2nd year Amartey shouldn't be a big deal.

    I was dismissive of the people who said a couple of weeks ago that his body couldn't be trusted to play in the seniors, but sadly it seems they were correct. His presence on field is sorely missed.

    Ok Webbos. Who do you know on the judiciary? Can they get Dawson off the charge?

    IN: Clarke, Stoddart, Menzel and Amarty
    Kizza safe for another week. Can't change too many but I think Rose and Fox will travel to Perth as well.

    Spot on.....how Cunnington continually avoids suspension for constantly hitting opposition players is beyond me.....and Witts (admittedly a Lion.....but they're the new interstate darlings of the AFL fraternity) gets a fine for nearly taking Blakey's head off and McKernan gets a fine for the same on Dawson, yet an innocuous, almost accidental bump to little Paddy's head is deemed worthy of suspension.

    The message is, if they don't get you with the free kick count, they'll get you with the MRO.....

    But in the greater scheme of things, it's not all that bad. He's had a few knocks the last few games and can use a week's rest. And we can now try another player for the week, so maybe we don't have to choose between Fox and Clarke or whatever the case may be. The way Horse spoke about Hayward, it sounded like he needs a week off as well.

    We could have Dawson, Hayward, Ronke and Jack all out. Maybe replaced by Amartey (or Knoll), Fox, Clarke and Stoddart.
    I'd be happy with that.
    +1 .....So would I.

    We know whoever of Amartey or Knoll we play will be well beaten in the ruck, but they'll be better for the experience and the coaches will learn more about these players. Both are out of contract at the end of this season. I'm pretty sure Amartey will get at least another year.

    Aliir has been great filling in, but we have lost both games he's been our ruckman, so it's not like his presence in the ruck has been part of a winning formula.
    They play either and they gets donuts. Big deal. The season isn't on the line and we get our structure back. They played McInerney earlier this year. Really what's the difference...except we had the season to play for then.

    No Cunningham this week. So at least 2 changes for the Freo game.

    I was disappointed with Cunningham's kicking on the weekend but I wonder if he was hampered by the groin issue.

    It looked like he’d get suspended when I saw it.

    Yes but you missed the best bit. The article also says they expect Naismith to play his first game in round 19! Hurrah!!

    Based on recent weeks NEAFL you would think Clarke & Stoddart are the likely ins to replace Cunningham & Superboot.

    They may still choose to bring in a ruckman so Aliir can go back to replace Dawson's recent role there, in which case Ronke would have to be the omission.

    But who knows, the MC completely fail to do what we suggest and we have poor results as a consequence, they need to listen!
