Resting Cox! Big move in a game that could decide the minor premiership

He's setting things up for him to complain on Sunday night after he loses.  :P

[Nails]

Nope, a result of myself and my wonderful assistants (Nrich102 and Vinny) putting in more effort than the average week.

Cox scored 76 and 68 against Freo in 2012 and 70 and 96 last year. Warnock should beat up on young Pies rucks.

In 2012 and 2013 he was also a better player than this year.

Therefore in champs league I am also resting Cox.

OUT: L.Greenwood, J.White, T.Hickey

Sub rule is in play

Finally some, albeit minor, selection dilemmas this week which is a good sign of players returning etc. Hickey's injury hurts with the 2 ruckman option working well for us with him in good form.

White stiff to be dropped, was a hard call to make between him and Henderson, who would have thought I'd be saying that, unfortunately purely the reputation of Henderson won out, my gut tells me White will play well tonight but I can't drop the man I traded Zorko for!

Young in some doubt for tonight apparently, not entirely sure whether to give that last interchange spot to White or Greenwood just yet with both capable of big scores.

McLean returns, which is handy. Vice captain Swallow to play a full game in the VFL this week, getting closer and closer to returning to his WXV duties.

Sub rule in play



Slight change. Carrots is out so Sammy Dwyer finds his way onto the interchange. And that means Sam of the Kerridge variety slips in to the third emergency spot.

We will be resting Shannon Hurn.

Anything you can rest I can rest better....

Mind games being played!

[Nige]

For what it's worth, I considered resting Richard Douglas.  :P

[CrowsFan]

Just the two changes this week, which has given us a team without OOP players for the first time in a while! Stephen Hill is a forced out due to injury, whilst David Zaharakis has been omitted after an indifferent start to the year. In to the side comes Simon White who after getting dropped was told would never play for the side again, but has put in 2 solid efforts in the reserves the last 2 weeks and has gotten himself back in the coaches good books. A poor performance this week may spell the end to his Puma career though. Also in to the squad comes grand final hero Matthew Buntine who will add to the solitary Puma cap currently under his belt.

Going to be a tough match against the Reindeers this week, surely won't be as easy as last years 173-137 victory!

One late change with Young out for Pies so White retains his position in the side.

Carrots being a late out looks to be a blessing in disguise with Sammy Dwyer's start tonight.  8)

[Toga]

Yay Benny Kennedy playing tonight (all be it as sub). Give him a full game Bucks, we could really use him up forward!

Amazing, Petterd has been dropped for playing well for the Tigers  >:(

Don't know what game you were watching but Petterd was absolutely disgusting last week :P Definitely deserved to be dropped lol

Fun little lesson for you... That is actually just one word, not three. "Albeit" was the word you should have used ;)

[Jukes]

Dochers 48 at 3/4 time, should give us some nice depth in what is slowly becoming our best position, the backline ::)

And Joshy Thomas showing what he can do, great young lad!
