WXV Finals Week 1 - Puma Pride On the Line

[Maca24]

Nice to actually have a dilemma on who to select!
Moloney or Waite for the 15th spot in the team. Hmmm, decisions.
Meanwhile who leads the boys out?
Mullet, Sandi, Sidey, Bartel or GOD!
Love the hard calls. :)

Sandi as C vs GWS

[AFEV]

Sandi is averaging like 60, and Giles/Brogan aren't that terrible. :-X

Who needs to Giles and Brogan when you have Tow Downie?!  ;)

I hope you get them all wrong! :P

Big changes with Rory Sloane and Chris Masten both finding themselves back in the team after recovering from their injuries faster than first thought, although both will have to pass late fitness tests before the match gets underway. The final change sees Mitch Wallis return to the side for the first time since round 5. Impressive form over the past fortnight has seen him edge his way ahead of Zaharakis who has been sub par recently and needs to go back to the reserves to find form. A big decision by the coach, but hopefully one that pays off. The two casualties due to the return of Sloane and Masten are Adams and Jacobs who can both consider themselves unlucky not to be playing in this match.

[Nails]

D - Scotland, SD Thompson, Burgoyne, J. McKenzie (OOP)
M - Swan (C), Cross, Barlow, Kornes
R - Warnock
F - S. Johnson, Cox, D. Petrie, B. Harvey
B - J. Schulz, B. Dalziell

EMG - J. Lyons, J. O'Brien (potential Dillos debut?), T. Logan

Have 16 players this week

#feelsgood

Just as we get players back (Warnock, McKenzie) we're met with equal if not worse difficulties in the outs (Carrazzo, P. Stewart, J. Lyons)

Would be nice to have 20+ to pick from one week.

I suspect after we win this week though ;) we'll have: Gilbert, Chapman, Brennan, Boyd and Carrazzo all back for selection. Would be nice.

Another body blow for Berlin with forward Shane Edwards set to withdraw

[Maca24]

Jimmy Bartel gets the captaincy, leading the Suns out for our first final.
Jarrad Waite gets a game in front of Moloney and Merrett who just miss out.
Hoping I've made the right decisions!

[Purple 77]

You know what? Darren Minchington may just get his first ever senior game this week (although I have to promote him), just gonna wait and see if he is the sub.

Because I have to choose between John Butcher (who hasn't scored more than 70 this year), or Darren Minchington on AFL debut.

Who would you choose if neither is sub?

[JBs-Hawks]

Probably minching seeings as butcher is playing the cats
