I'll be waiting for Short to reinjure himself during the match.

Steely in good to see the lad get a debut.

Shouldve debuted uin the opening game of the seaon but better late than never.

Good luck young fella !!

Conspiracy Theory here is that Steely could be viewed as possible steak knives in a trade with Freo for Baker .............. so we are pumping up his value :))

Leave Short out for another week ffs, nothing to be gained by rushing him back.

Steely isn’t in yet Craig - he’s in the extended squad but is almost certainly an emergency - Short, McAuliffe and Sonsie would all be in front of him

Why announce it then? Gets the kid's hopes up only to drop down with a thud later. Same as subbing debuts. Stupid by the club IMO.
? Why is it stupid? The club has to name the full 26 players, we don’t have many other choices! He’ll be an emergency so it’s acknowledgement that he’s close.

It’s the same old minimal changes Players only get a game if someone’s injured
Dont matter if you haven’t kicked a goal for 3 rounds (Mansell) and you’re playing in the forward line it’s all good
Those playing well in VFL Sonz Coulthard not rewarded with games
Who do we Omitt & who for? We have about 27 fit players atm....
 
If you didn't know recent results, you'd think the side looked like it's won consecutive games (no forced changes)...

Hopefully mcintosh we get to see in the vfl on saterday ive been looking forward to that for 2 years

We have gone back to 1987 with some of the decisions they have made this year.
I wouldn't even play short, he was shiit before he got injured..
Some are getting games just because of there names.
Play Green, play McCoulgan, play rubber hands.

Last week I posted that Campbell and Mansell needed a spell in the ressies due to underperforming.
Campbell who I do believe will be a very good player hasn't kicked a goal in his last 5 games. You heard correctly 5 games.

Mansell, there is no defending this guy. Hasn't hit the scoreboard in 3 games. If this was Cumberland the haters would be pointing this out and gunning for him and probably with good reason but tend to go silent on Mansell's underperforming games.

So we have two small forwards who haven't kicked a goal in multiple weeks but still retain their spots :unsure:

What irks me is some harp on if Cumbo plays consistently good he'll get a game well how about Campbell and Mansell who aren't playing well and still getting games.

Happy for Green but doubt he makes the final cut when the teams are announced tomorrow.

I was hoping 2 from Cumbo, Coulthard and Green due to all having a good game V Casey would replace Campbell and Mansell.

Noah Cumberland (11 disposals, eight contested possessions, three inside-50s, six tackles, one goal)

Steely Green (17 disposals, 10 contested possessions, 76% disposal efficiency, five marks, four inside-50s, three clearances, one goal)

Matthew Coulthard (13 disposals, three marks, three goals)

So it looks like Short and Sonsie in for Hopper and Graham. Seem to be low on mids. Pickett, Baker and Dow are our starting mids as per the line up.
