I am indeed my good friend.........but lets not tell anyone that 2 of those 3 EMS are only on extended benches. Still, compared to the previous 14 rounds
good to see your 'rebirth' sNoZ - you know we had faith in you down here in the land of one of the super power's allies!

Also - with Sandilands' inclusion, is that a full 15 player team with no OOPs? If so - congrats and well done for your persistence (and shedloads of patience) this year.

Outs that are lucky for Tom Hawkins (for the second week running). Fully expect Stokes to be a late out as well.... Ins: Mumford, Broughton, J.Thomas Outs: Dangerfield (shoulder), Pavlich (suspension), Murdoch (omitted) Foul Bay Def: Ibbotson, M.Johnson, D.Pearce, Broughton (Emg: Harwood) Mid: J.Selwood, Kelly, Judd, McLean (Emg: J.Trengove) Ruck: Mumford Fwd: Bartel, Ja.Roughead, Stokes, Hawkins (Emg: Dahlhaus) I/C: Thomas, Liberatore (Emg. Vince) Maybe Chief, but geez, that's still a very good team you've got on the park. Even with the outs the midfield and forwards looks good. And of course your backline contains one M Johnson, who averages about 30 touches against the Tigers and will probably score you 150 points (my oft-repeated cry when my mob play Freo is 'Who the hell is on Johnson, will someone bloody pick him up!') Anyway - my mob this week (provisionally at least): DEF: McKenzie, Rance, Frawley, Otten (E: R Thompson) MIDS: Walker, Cunnington, Foley, B Harvey (E: B Hill) RUCK: Maric FWD: Westhoff, Walters, S Edwards, Betts (with some reluctance) (E: Vickery) I/C: Seedsman, Hutchings (E: R Bewick) In: Westhoff Out: R Thompson Betts lucky to retain his spot. Playing a hunch. Vickery can consider himself very unlucky, as can Rohan Bewick. Thompson is rested after his heavy knock last week, allowing Otten to retain his place and a rejuvenated Frawley to move into the starting back four. Westhoff is welcomed back, allowing Walker and Harvey to run free in the midfield and Seedsman to start on the bench.
