Changes for Rnd 3 v Port Power

[Doctor]

It's not a rule, but I believe in all matches last year for Sydney, that was the case.

I have a suspicion though that Hanners was named in the starting 18 last week. Anybody confirm? (My record is downstairs but I'm too lazy to run down and get it.....shutup Al)...

I'm pretty sure Hanners was named on the bench.

Wasn't that long ago White was our first choice tall forward. Now he's fourth.

West coast game last year??

This old chestnut again

After playing a terrible game down back in which he was directly responsible for conceding a number of goals he was moved forward in the 2nd half. He kicked 2 goals, one of which came as the final siren went when the game was already in the bag.

A more typical performance is his one possession game last year against the Hawks. He played the full game as well!

How long is it going to take for the MC to work out that he is not up to AFL standard? In fact with his shortcomings I'm not even sure that he could make it as a top line player at state league level.

I'll put my hand up and admit I'm a Jessie White supporter, at least he has shown he can produce at AFL level, albeit inconsistently

BTW - what is the use of a utility for a sub who is poor in all positions, i'd rather have a mid who can come on and use his pace for impact when other legs are tired e.g. Cunningham. Everitt was tried as a sub on multiple occassions last year and couldnt do that

We need to find a permanent full forward. At the moment it seems this is a spot taken by a resting ruckman.

My ideal forward line would be:

TDL White/Walsh (depending on form/experience) Resting ruckman (LRT, Mummy etc)
ROK Reid McGlynn

[Big Al]

The Return of the strutting man cant come soon enough.

Yep, Horse has already said that Everitt is just a fill player. When the likes of Spang and Pyke are fit they will provide that tall option in the forward line.

(fingers crossed for Jesse as well)
