This weeks Ins and Out's

[DOG GOD]

Welcome to WOOF, DOG GOD.

Agree that mcDougall should have done enough to get a gig. The continued preference for the light bodied Harbrow over Faulkner is interesting. I suspect that the latter is about to finish his career with us.

Thanks D.R cool to be part of W.O.O.F. as u know im a HUGE cam fan, but i too agree that cam is GONE!!

SS - You have to know what I am going to say.

'Sammy Power's left foot is like a SCALPEL'.

Golf clap for posters (apart from Sockeye and Ernie) able to correctly identify the source of this quote.

Its part of draft folklore just like "The next Andrew McLeod" or "the best ever Tasmanian"

For a hint on the original answers it came from the guy who recommended us Sedat Sir.

Sam "The Surgeon" Power - slices the opposition apart with his foot skills.

Whoops that was Ray "Slug" Jordan.

At Eades press conference to day, he said McDougall will get a game either this week or next. I would like to see him play in the backline this week and move Hargrave to the forward line with Grant. The Saints have given us a hard time in recent years and we need all the help we can get as in the past, Morris, Hargrave and Gilbee have been out muscled by the Saints talls.

yeah i agree...doogs needs to play THIS week and then hopefully continue on for the rest of the year.

I get the impression if Doogs was to be promoted to the team this week he would be in effect playing for his footy career. I think he was on the outer with the coach but has worked his way back into calculations with 3 strong performances. I also get the impression that our supporters are looking for someone to hang and Doogs could be the next whipping boy if he was to get towelled up.

Team balance is probably his biggest enemy this week. If Grant is to return it would make it a lot harder for him to get promoted.

Eade said, Grant and West playing will depend on how they pull up after training today. I wonder how they went?

They said on the 10 news last night that Westy did not train.

I would usually agree with this, but thinking about the last two weeks, it wouldn't have made a bit of difference if we went in with the wrong mix of talls/smalls - that was just not the problem. If we need to look at Doogs then we should simply play him, whether this means adding him and Grant and dropping two runners or not...I mean, what is the worst thing that could happen? We lose?

I don't disagree with this. Generally speaking if you play enough players that are in form the team does well. Eade however, places a very high value on speedy players so I guess this will still be a big consideration for him.
