Out Bruce (surely he cannot be retained), Cordy, Vandermeer, McComb
In Schache (deserves his place, but...last chance), Keath, McLean. Scott

Is Scott the sub in this scenario?

[westbulldog]

Scott or McLean, anyone but McComb

[bornadog]

Scott or McLean, anyone but McComb

Do you think it is a risk to bring in Mclean, since he has been out for 12 months?

[westbulldog]

I would reward good form, McLean is an experienced premiership player and he had 34 possessions and 9 clearances on Saturday. I hope we don't continue anymore bizarre Bruce selections.

What do you think of his form so far at Footscray?

I can’t see Tobes coming back in… like you say too long out of the top level to be airdropped into finals. If we’re serious and ready to face reality we shouldn’t be playing Bruce either.

Scott would be a welcome addition, good team player who can run all day. JJ would also be on my radar, played some great footy up forward this year before tapering. Keath I feel is a strong possibility to return but probably hinges on the Darcy and Bruce dynamic. Schache would also be considered but it can’t be both he and Keath coming into an already tall side without two talls missing, and to that end I reckon we’ll stick with Cordy who had some really strong moments with the ball and wouldn’t be the first defender to get outfoxed by Gunston

[Go_Dogs]

Early days, but would look at something like:

Daniel, Gardner, Richards
Dale, Keath, Treloar
B Smith, Macrae, Williams
Dunkley, Darcy, Hunter
JUH, Naughts, Weightman
English, Bont, Libba
Duryea, West, R Smith, Cordy



One of Cordy or Bruce probably have to play, they can spare parts ruck.

Schache despite his form surely doesn’t come in for a final?

West has been an important player this year and I would select him for the finals. He’s tough and we need that.

The only query I have is speed / defensive ability in the front half. No JJ, VDM, Garcia, McNeil… hmmm. Would be great to have one of them in too, but not sure who misses out. Hard to drop Roarke after yesterday and think he can potentially play a role against Freo.

[bornadog]

What do you think of his form so far at Footscray?

He has been playing well at Footscray, and probably deserves a game, but, I would have played him yesterday to get a feeling at where he is at at senior level. Going into a final, need to consider whether it is a risk?

I would be surprised to see McLean play. We've had ample opportunity since his comeback, and have neglected to use it, while giving games to a number of similarly ranked players with arguably worse form in the VFL. Also I think we really rate Scott and any role I see us picking McLean for I see Scott getting first dibs on anyway. Not sure what this means for McLean's future with us.

[Grantysghost]

Do you think it is a risk to bring in Mclean, since he has been out for 12 months?

I don't think so he looks really comfortable to me.

Has to be better than Williams.

Scott will probably get first crack, but I think Toby has the inside and outside ability that is really useful and is a better player.

It's odd isn't it. I was thinking they are giving him heaps of time to get right as he was injured quickly last time.

His form is good enough.

[The bulldog tragician]

Apart from the selections, I wonder what will be done to tweak our response to the game plan Freo employed against us?

[Bullies]

Do you think it is a risk to bring in Mclean, since he has been out for 12 months?

Yet it is ok for them to play Josh Bruce who is playing like he had his reco just last week.

[Bullies]

Apart from the selections, I wonder what will be done to tweak our response to the game plan Freo employed against us?

Doesn't look like they will tweak anything as the last two games both GWS and Hawks have employed the same tactics and we haven't done anything about it. Freo won't let us play the way we want to that will be a certainty.
