I was interested to see Doc tweet that Duigan is tired, and I actually had thought he looked so today. Fortunately we have a bye coming up, but will be interesting to see if soemone like him is rested in any other games. Must be a demanding season on a bloke like him after years of SANFL.

"Because.....I can't imagine a scenario where you've thought of it.....but the club or Duigs haven't."?

Massive game again this week. This mob have caused has plenty of grief in the past, would be nice to throw some back at them.

Hopefully Yarran can get up, tight hammies are always a concern.
Houlihan looks shot to me, he really does. Does some nice things when he gets he ball, but seems to be labouring. Would prefer to see someone like Lucas as the sub.
No way I'd be taking McLean to Subi, or playing him again TBH. The game has well and truly passed him by.
The only other player from today that I have question marks on is Davies, but then while he didn't stand out, he didn't do much wrong.

I'd like another couple weeks of Brock. He looks like he is starting to adjust to the speed of the game at the top level. Needs really to get 5 in a row, and if he isn't up to it we will know by then and he will be up for delisting at years end.

There are a few coming back but I would be reluctant to make more than 2 changes though.

You would think that the MC would want Carazzo back immediately and Waite if he is fit (would like to ideally see him have a run in the twos first).
If Army is fit I would like to see him come in too.

So at the moment I think

In: Carazzo, Armfield
Out: Joseph, Davies

Brock at Subiaco frightens me. He may not make it inside 50 at either end.

dont listen to this crap from Wallsy Duigan was ok and doesn't need a rest FFS- they play for 21/2 hrs a week they are young and fit if they need a rest - Well bloody rest them during the week

Does anyone need tickets for the Freo game? We have 2 spares. 417 G11 & 12. PM me if interested.

Waite & Armfield don't sound like they'll be fit for this week. Ellard hit over 78% game time (about the basic standard for an AFL midfielder) for the first time in months (yes, I'm ignoring the games where he was subbed in or out). He's not really fit either.

I'm 50/50 on Duigan being given a rest. That comes down to the status of White, Bower & Russell.

Davies was completely consumed with stopping one of - at any given time - Davey, Bate or Green in a game where he could have run rife off HB. He didn't, and he'll be exposed if he does that again next week.

Warnock needs to be on his toes this week (almost literally, to narrow the reach advantage) against a quality, if underdone opponent in Sandilands. Joseph showed he's still useful if you use him in the midfield.

Out: Ellard, Davies, Duigan, Houlihan
In: Carrazzo, Bower/White, Lucas, O'hAilpin

Sub from: Simpson, Scotland, Carrazzo (purely to rest one of them for 2.5 quarters)

If we brought in Bower, I'd move Thornton to defence, but if we brought in White I'd opt for Lucas, to balance out the run and match-ups. Would prefer to play Lucas through the middle & HF.
