    Qualifying Final - WOOF Selection Table

    Okay, its Finals time!

    Lets smash the Pies.

    Another interesting week at the selection table.

    Here are my selections:

    In: Higgins, Minson
    Out: Addison, Roughead

    Hopefully Griffen comes up, otherwise I think Hooper will find himself in with a chance. Wood, if fit.

    Everitt, Jones and Hahn remain the other vulnerable players.

    Won't Easton Wood be ready? What's the reasoning behind the ruck change?
    If you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.

      Roughead's shoulder kept popping out tonight. We cannot afford that next week. Minson and Roughy are pretty much on level terms, but with Minno performing well, it would be foolish to risk Roughead.

      Agree, if Wood is fit, he will be a strong chance.

        Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

          Collingwood are the side we first used the part-time ruck experiment against, and successfully. We may need the extra run against their extended midfield rotation, if Roughead is sore then perhaps Wood can come in for him and Everitt can do some ruckwork

            After last week's debacle, I'm not sure the MC would be prepared to pull the trigger on a part time ruck set up again.

                I thought Hahn was okay tonight. His lack of pace is noticable and that is his biggest vice, but without Morris, I think he is important as an extra option in defense. Adds experience in pressure final also.

                  If we're going to face Collingwood with a depleted squad, I'd much rather a guy like Addison, Wood or Everitt playing defence than seeing Hahn waddle around.

                  Remember Mitch being ragdolled by Leigh Brown?

                    That was the key factor for mine, came down to Hahn V Addo and Addisons pace and hopefully ability to play as a defensive forward and apply pressure got him over the line.

                      Everitt wasn't playing last week though. Forgetting the MC for a moment, would you do it?

                        Yeah, I probably would if Wood is 100%.

                          Everitt really let himself down tonight, he had the best opportunity all year, with the team, the opponent, the role he was going to play, etc. but failed.

                          His confidence is clearly shot, the kid just doesnt believe in himself, he has to be out of the team, there is no upside to his game right now.

                          So
                          Out: Everitt, Addison, Roughhead(inj)
                          In: Wood, Higgins, Minson.

                            Addison did a good defensive forward job on Stanton in the first half, who barely had a touch. I'd like to see him take Harry O or Shaw next week in a similar role.

                              I hate to be the prophet of doom, anyone noticing the lack of penetration on Gilbee's kicking over the last 4 weeks? yikes! - Injured? unfit? whats the scoop?
