    With you there. I think this selection might be a bit of the coach still trying to sort the wheat from the chaff.

        Well, Pedersen is out for North.

        Our final I/C is: Grant, Sherman, Wallis and Dickson. My guess, Dickson to play as sub.
        Have you heard Butters wants to come to the Dogs?

            Any chance it's Sherman?

                With Djerrkura and Wood out injured I think we need Sherman's speed to play the full game.

                Why do you think Sherman should be the sub?
                More of an In Bruges guy?

                    Anything is possible - Dickson was just my preference. I think Sherman has been pretty good the last few weeks so not sure what benefit we'd get going in with him as sub. You're thinking we might go with Sherman?

                        On the team video, Liberatore is listed in the forward line

                            Is that because of last weeks game and the question over his commitment in the O'Brien goal?

                                I think Dicko will be sub, I agree we need Shermo's run for the full game.

                                    I would be astounded if Sherman is not in the starting 21, he is too important in those momentum swings when we are on the attack and moving the ball at speed. He's going okay but still lacking confidence and needs to find the balance between team ethos and taking the game on. I think the team ethos has been drummed into him since Macca came on board and he's stuck somewhere in the middle of the two.
                                    But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

                                        His contested footy has really shot up compared to last year which means his style of game has changed. Not sure if this is a good thing or not.

                                            Me too.

                                            I believe a lot of fans are too clever by half when thinking about the sub role. Yes being an explosive type suits the role but I believe you should be automatically excluded if you aren't in the 18th-22nd picked bracket for the week. For mine, Sherman is in our top dozen or so (says more about us than him).

                                                On Sherman, I think his start to the season has been underrated. People naturally take in things that validate a pre-conceived belief and filter out stuff that go against it. I really rate Sherms start to the season, especially after a disrupted pre-season.

                                                    He is in our best 18 but I haven't seen anything special from him this season.

                                                        Me neither really. I think he has been less burst like and more consistently involved. Also, I don't believe it's hard to get into our top half dozen.

                                                            Sherman has been consistently good this year, and I am a little tired of reading the constant digs at him. That, or the backhanded compliments.

                                                            He's got more talent than most of our list and has been a lot more team orientated thus far.

                                                            Sherman would get a gig in MOST sides starting 18. In fact, I'd almost say every, when you consider a player like Hill is in West Coast's side.
