[Professer E]

Dont like those ins.

[DJC]

I didn't think I'd ever be pleased to see Liam Jones as an "in" but I'm more than pleased, I'm excited 

I hope he gets a run and is under instructions to crunch every GWS player that gets in range.

[sandsmere]

I reckon Graham, Jones, SPS, and either Thomas or Smedts will fill the bench.

Not a bad side.

Dont like those ins.

Some of the "ins" won't be "ins" though after 3 drop out.

[Professer E]

Agreed, joke ins, my grannie has more exposed form than Jed Lamb.

[crashlander]

If it were me, I would not be playing Lamb or Sumner and I'd be pretty dubious about Daisy Thomas. I'd have brought him back via the VFL after his concussion. But....

[LP]

Agreed, joke ins, my grannie has more exposed form than Jed Lamb.

Actually he wasn't too bad in the VFL last game, but his run of good form is one game which seems odd given how long it's taken for Jones to get a gig!

Perhaps this selection is papering over some injury concerns.

I think Murphy hasn't looked right for a couple of weeks now, a week off is not always a good thing for old blokes with injuries, sometimes they seize up! :o

Weitering and Plowman both look to be sore and are struggling for form.

Anyway, those four ins need their chance, the two Ciaran's will be putting the heat of plenty of them in the coming weeks. Watch this space!

[Baggers]

Good move giving Samo a rest.

Reckon Lamb & Sumner got the nod over Graham owing to speed over the grass and fronting up to their previous club. NG has worked hard but that lack of pace does hurt him, his disposal has improved though he did commit a horrible clanger against the Kangabies. Lamb does bring a little mongrel as well which we like.
