I cant see the glove being fit enough to beselected, especially with the position he plays. Sadly.

He will play.

The only thing is from reports Everitt didn't do himself any favors today.

I've been one that has been keen for Andrejs's to be given more of a go by the MC.
However he was very ordinary today against the Bullants. His lack of intensity to get himself into the game stood out. On that performance he's undeserving.

Ditto. Morris will be playing injured, but it at the moment it seems riskier to play an untried player on Riewoldt than to play an injured player on Riewoldt.

Re: Preliminary Final - WOOF Selection Table

What did people think of Daniel Cross' bump on Jude Bolton? Personally I didn't think there was much in it, both players got low, had eyes for the football and it looks like contact was made to the shoulder first. Also you could argue that there was a last minute change of direction caused by the Swan team mate pushing Bolton.

Will the match review panel look at this incident and if so, should we be concerned?

I'm sure it will be looked at but I can't see him being suspended. Addison's hit on Kirk was worse IMO, cut his face open

I meant that if his back is still a bit "tender", the hardest thing would be to play with his arms above his shoulders punching or marking. But i hope i;m wrong...

Fair call

What makes you so sure?
But I o hope you are right.

Thought Hooper looked a little off the pace & lost out there tonight, in patches.

Not sure about taking him into a prelim, i think he has something more to offer down the track though.

Re: Preliminary Final - WOOF Selection Table

Oh come on are you guys serious? Are you blind? Surely you noticed how important one Mitch Hahn was to our revival in the third and fourth quarters? His power runs and long kicking, his desperation in close? He was played in position and well and truly showed his value to the team. There is no chance of him being dropped after tonight.

We must have been watching another game. Hahn's desperation and intensity was wonderful but he really lacked composure with the ball for mine, his decision-making was poor, and for all his trying he couldn't keep up with any of his opponents which meant Sydney often had a free player coming out of defense.

I'd bring Morris in and drop Hahn. If Morris doesn't come up I'd bring in Jones or Moles. I've been a very big fan of Mitch's but this is no time for sentiment as another poster mentioned, and I really struggle to see how he can keep his place in the team.

I don't think I'd make any other changes (unless of course something is forced). From what I've heard and read, no one impressed enough at Williamstown to take Eagleton's place, and that was a very important match for Willi.

IMO opinion no one other than Hahn needs to be dropped, and those below have not used their opportunities to shine at the lower level. Grant was awful for the first half (on top of last week) but he came into the game in the second half, did some important things, and is super important for our structure and flexibility imo. I think he'll be better for the run.

Re: Preliminary Final - WOOF Selection Table

I wouldn't be taking Hooper in next week. He was ordinary (no less ordinary Grant, but Grant has prior form)

Yes he did get involved in a few important passages of play in the second half but over the four quarters Hahn was poor. He is off the pace of the game and noticed the Swans would often play through him when given the opportunity.

Re: Preliminary Final - WOOF Selection Table

In: Morris, Moles

Out: Hooper, Hahn

Hooper is out of his depth at this stage. Moles in for him to offer some extra run. Hahn was better but still struggling.

I agree with this. Good on the lad for getting a taste of finals foot, but if we had've lost I think several of us would've lamented the risky decision to debut him in a big game.
Who comes in for Hooper, if Morris is given the okay by the surgeon to play, i can't see it being a straight swap for Hooper. We will need another forward who has some toe. Would it be almost as big a risk as the Hooper call to bring in Jones?
And if not Jones for Hooper- then who? Moles?

I just can't see Eade pulling the pin on Hahn at this stage, he's stuck with him this far I'm just not sure he'll do it now.
