Take abit more than some rain and cold weather to stop that little dynamo, he's a ripper. One of the most improved players in the comp over the last 2 years. Breaks my heart to say that, wish we had him.

Williamson should be right at home though! Wink

That's relatively mild compared to the conditions I experienced on the Canning Stock Route in May 2015.  That weather pattern covered from Derby to Kalbarri and turned footy grounds into very wet and cold places.

Mark Stevens on Ch7 reckons he rang Carton today and Rowe & Cripps will play.

Nothing definite though.

Heard a possible hammy strain to be replaced by Palmer.
Confirmed. Curnow out for palmer.
Charlie out with quad. Palmer in.
I was hoping Palmer was in. Now hope he brings the hardness and sneaky goals he's known for.

Go young Blues

Well to be honest, he has been a passenger for 2 weeks. I understand he is young and we must expose them to the big stage but surely Palmer will give us more today than CC has (or would have).

Agree. This may prove to be a good move.
Reality always wins in the end.
Agree GIC
Charlie has looked lacklustre in the first 2. No idea why of course, could be any number of issues. Although I prefer our youngsters get games, it must be tempered with what's in their best at that point. If it's health of body or mind, a rest seems appropriate. A stint in the two's might be what he needs as well.
Regardless, hope Palmer has a cracker and sneaks in a couple. More importantly, hope he keeps the baby Blues from the injectables... aka thugs :Smile
