If he challenges he'll get off because it's only Carlton! ;D

Could also mean that they will take the opportunity to give him a week's rest? 

[WASurfer]

They'll have a reasonably small forward line without Lobb, Taberner and now Hogan....McCarthy might come into the side. But I'd still keep Levi in the team as backup ruckman. Darcy is a huge man and troubled Gawn early on the weekend. They're also missing Pearce down back so if things go our way and the weather is fine, we could stretch them down back as well.

So we can expect the reserves as opposition, actually given their available list it's probably not far off reality!  :-[

Walters gets a week...

Massive out - Just pls dont appeal.

Walters like most teams we have no match up for. He excites the crowd like no other Docker. Rapt he wont play. Add in losing Hogan and S Hill we couldn't have picked a better time to play them.

But this is no 'just turn up play and return with the 4 points' They made us look like fools last year at Edihad.  Lyon is a smart coach, he will have plans to cater for the outs - Cripps will have a minder and doubt Charlie will get the free run at the ball he got last week.

BUT this is the sort of game that we where we are at should win and not just get close. Just need to start very well and take the crowd out of it - that's half the battle.   

[Jack Burton]

Fox reporting Walters is appealing, will be heard at Tribunal tomorrow night. Wouldn't be surprised if he gets off with a fine

[Professer E]

Setterfield gets two,  everybody else gets fines. He'll get off.

[Blue Moon]

We have Jones, Silvagni, Goddard  & Kennedy pushing for selection. 26 into 22 doesn't go. There are going to be a number of players missing out  which is a good place to be.

[flyboy77]

Freo won't have a tall forward line - Goddard isn't going to displace Weiters or Levi/Jones (Levi will play this week imo, Jones have a run in the NBs).

JSOS and Kennedy - I'd have them both in for Dow and LOB - but everyone will say they're too slow....at least they can both execute the basics of footy AND tackle.

That only happens after the get the football, which might be too rarely against fleet footed opponents! ;D

Unfortunately, it looks like rain on Sunday afternoon for Perth, 25kph wind with an 80% chance of showers, this diminishes our marking strength somewhat!
