Round 16 Pre Game Thread - Blues V Dockers

[MilkIt]

Brad Walsh has been elevated and Gibbs on to the long term injury list. I'd say he'll debut this week.

Walsh goes all right, he doesn't look anything special but neither did Nick Graham, not that I'm suggesting that Graham will be the next Diesel Williams.
We need to try as many of these young blokes as we can, if they show a glimpse or two then persevere, if not then cut them before we waste time like we have in the past.

Great...I'm already on the bandwagon and be nice for him to debut at home...

Rowe, Dochety and Walsh in...

Wood, Gibbs and Armys arm out...Wood is unlucky given Rowe didnt do much in the NB's and Sandilands needs two genuine ruckman to work in tandem against him..

yeah, strange call on the ruck department. Fields gets another go.

Very strange omitting Wood. Me thinks a late change may eventuate, or maybe it's going to piss down rain?

Have to admit, I love an Elwood smokey so looking forward to seeing Walsh debut.

Edit: Was WA captain in the Under 18 Championships! Impressive CV.

8 players from them rookie list in the side this week.

Hard to believe it's already round 16 huh? Remember Freo were all the rage for the first 7-8 rounds, boy how much have they dropped off? Pity we have so many out.

[RiverRat]

Very strange omitting Wood.

Wood has been a warrior this year but he has been struggling to jump off the ground in recent weeks so he would be uncompetitive against the big bloke. I am content to see Rowe and/or Levi providing relief for Kreuzer.

That is pretty accurate. He struggled last week against Hampson. But the, so did Kreuzer.
Wood will be back, but he does need to get some form and confidence up. Much better chance of doing that against Casey than against Freo.
