[Ian]

Ouch!!,

[Jim05]

It could be a good time to play them next week. If they get a thumping today and North will be bouyed by the win over WWT.

Is it a full strength Westies side ?

[whufc]

Serious question?

What is the point in participating in the comp if you are gonna rest heaps of players in the second round against one of the strongest sides competing?

[HOORAY PUNT]

Who are they resting , I thoght I read the opposite.

[StrayDog]

77 to 96.

A 19 point Willy win.

Quite a few Bloods players out including both Fishers,Green, Hill, Fielke, Moran, Birss, Willits, Silvester, Schmidt,Rankine and Fergusson all of whom would be in our best 22. Injury and soreness was the main reason these blokes didnt play. Williamstown also had 17 players from the Western Bulldogs play. Actually suprised it was only 3 goals in the end, thought it would have been much more.

[blood bath]

Far from our strongest side - I dont know if Williamstown are resting as many players as we are?

Is Caruso of Williamstown a relation to the WAFC boys?

Outs - Green, Hill, Fielke, Moran, Birss, Willits, Silvester, Schmidt,
Ins - Anderson, Davenport, Lobbe, S. Ezard, Borholm, Agars, Kirk, Gallard, Blesing.

There's 8 players from last week alone plus those on the injury list such a Ben Fisher, Brad Fisher and Ferguson. So 11 players out, not too bad a performance to lose by 3 goals

[on the rails]

See Hartlett injured again - neither of the brothers have a good track record with injury?

I hope West persist with Motlop for another week - means North will have a one man advantage every time he is on the park! Thanks for the $$$.

Hopefully Armstrong will be lining up for the roosters to make it an even contest!

Yeah i was going by Mark Beswicks post.

Why play in the comp and then rest league players against one of your major rivals for the trophy.

So you think they should have left the West Coast vs Gold Coast match before it finished?

[cripple]

not sure if it has been raised before but why would they be using burley footy's in this comp. doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me.

[fish]

Bad luck Westies but good on you for having a go...

[RustyCage]

Did Williamstown rest a lot of their better players late in the game?

[SDK]

Yawn
WOFT !
