Maybe Sicily or Moore.

West's performances have dropped a bit over the last month and he got to play something like 14 games in a row, there's no shame in resting a young player from the seniors especially after two games where he didn't really do much.

Pretty much. Like I probably wouldn’t have dropped him but geez we can get a little hyperbolic about the treatment of players at selection.

It’d be good if this time we didn’t let Scrimshaw take 1000 intercept marks, but not sure that would be Roarke’s role.

My opinion is a bit different. To my eye in vfl Roarke has played the team game, maybe not getting a lot of touches but he has been ok. Wish him well as it would be great to have a big bodied shutdown type player who can lay a decent tackle and is dour. Roarke’s disposal not too bad however sometimes he tries too much or is a bit slow especially at senior level. I don’t mind him and hope he does well. Hope West is sub. If it McComb I’ll be puzzled (again).

Looks like we might have taken all 4 emergencies to Tas.
I can't see Martin, O'Brien, McComb or West playing for Footscray.

If pressure acts are so important then why not just get someone from Melbourne Storm. I know he won't have any idea about getting the ball but it will put him on par with VDM.

He's great Tony.
I had a long chin wag with him at a season launch really open and friendly guy.
Real shame the reputation he got under Wallace.

West is still a bit "see ball, get ball" but I just love his endeavor. I'd prefer him in the side rather than out of it

Yeah a mate played Superrules with him and couldn't speak highly enough of Libba Snr. Non-bulldog supporter too. Scott Lucas another good one of the old timers.
