Pre-Elim final: Pies v. Swans - all comments here

[KYPREO]

Rusling will be pulled out before game.

Was still sore after last training session, corked thigh still troubling him.

Not sure as to who will replace him. Poor kids luck has been wretched.

If that's true, Rhyce shaw could come in to replace him, as we have four small forwards in the team already (didak, davis, medhurst, thomas).

I bloody hope you are wrong. He is vital for tonight I think.

Im not sure if Rhyce would be the best option. His really struggled of recent times, but then again I wouldnt pick Licuria. Would rather play one short than allow his kicking skills and turtle pace in our midfield.

Id we are serious about rusling then our option should be Licuria to run with Goodes.

Say what you want about licuria but he has the best form in the 2nd's than anyone on the list. He is kicking goals and getting heaps of the footy. If prefer him in my finals side than anyone.

The other option is to bring in bryan and play fraser up forward...but i think a fit josh fraser should be on the ball and running jolly and everitt off their feet. I think Josh as a ruckman resting in the forward line tonight is going to be very very dangerous. Im tipping Josh for BOG tonight

Go you Woodsmen!

Dave, when will you realise that best in Willie doesnt necessarily assure quality in seniors?

Perfect example, Andrew Williams. Our gun forward in the reserves and leading goal kicker. In the willie best week in week out, and yet could never consolidate a place with the pies. Some players are suited to the VFL style of play and will always dominate. But its proven that means little when playing in the black and white. Licurias problem has never been how many times he gets the ball, more so how he uses it and how he has lost any pace he had. The game has past him, he will gather its 20/30 possies a gam for willie, but thats all trivial in the end.

A good service man for the black and white whose career is peetering away.

If licca plays we will lose, he will cost us goals due to his lack of skill when he has the ball...


Bring in Bryan as a forward.

[skaman]

A switched on, hungry Pies outfit will smash the Swannettes tonight.
Look out ugly ducklings, I feel Travis, Pebs and a something to prove Neon Leon, will be running rampant tonight!

[Xtopher]

Pah. Rusling will play.

[Snoop Dog]

If Ruslings out then Rhyce Shaw should play or Ryan Lonie. Lonie can run with Goodes - he's done it before.

Licca is not the guy - we need to run them off their feet and he wont help us do that.

[HAL]

But can Ruslings out ever happen?

Problem is right now Lonie can barely run

[ANNODAM]

All I can say is, I won't be able to handle a close game like the HAW/ADL.

I'm starting to get nervous....

[kambarker]

I am off to the Game...................Go Pies...................play the best game ever!!

[stui magpie]

Bounce the frigging ball already.
