Exactly right there Booney. People whinge about White, Young and others that come in and out of the team, but no one at SANFL level is smashing down the door and playing better footy than them. As i said yesterday, Young will go back to the SANFL this week and pick up 30 and will be back to the 1's at the next opportunity. Yes he hasn't performed well at AFL level this season, but he is going back to the Maggies and doing what has been asked better than anyone else. No one else is putting their hand up week in week out saying i deserved to be picked for the Power. This off-season is going to be cruicial. Motlop and Rockliff will be very big ins for us and may see us take the next step to be a better and more consistent side

Given morell's "pick anyone" philosophy (based purely on structure), if they were to call up Snelling or Drew or Palmer and they have a stinker and we lose then as many people would be saying "Why'd they pick him?"

Exactly. Just like everyone is carrying on now about Monfries

Agree with said except the Monfries comment. Why publicly say he won't be picked until he plays two more matches, have a bye so not play at all then throw him in the deep end of a vital Showdown after not playing AFL for 2 years. One of the more stupid selections in AFL history IMO

*If* we lose.

I dont really care what combination of wingers, flankers and pockets we pick, whoever is in those positions and in form. For mine, it's much more important to get the key position structure right. Which we havent. Its clear as day.

My point is - let's give 3 talls a go. I'd like Dixon, Howard and Westhoff. If we really want to keep Westhoff on the wing, then play Dixon, Howard and Trengove.

We played 3 talls vs Sydney, Freo and the first showdown - by any measure, all reasonably good results. Why did we go away from it? Because Eddy didn't have a great showdown? OK. Drop him for *another key forward* not a ******* forward defensive midget.

Brodie Grundy and Tom Hawkins can both accept two-week bans. Shane Mumford, Mitch Duncan and Zach Merrett can accept one-week bans.

I think it is looking likely that Port wont get 4th and it will be Geelong coming to Adelaide in that first final. A Selwood-less Geelong in fact.

Doesnt matter.
We will be like the Dogs last year and use the umpires to assist our Premiership glory

If we win this week we will make the top 4. I think we will get pumped though. I hope you are correct though. I reckon a few Crows supporters wouldn't be that keen playing Geelong in the first week of finals.
