There we have it

Markov has not put a foot wrong, and the gods have picked him instead on Noble.

I simply cannot recall a time this year when either has been towelled.

I know the call is for Ginni, but it was Hill who usurped him.


It's flip a Sub.
Do we pick the goal kicking X Factor, or do we play safe in case of early injury and pick the sweeper.

No it doesn't it has Macrae (sub) which means he was a sub last game not for this game.
Then it has the 4 emergencies and that is where the Sub comes from.

What a success story...and it all happened this year.
Noble is a bit stiff but there will be opportunities for him in this Finals series.

Noble is a mismatch when he has a taller forward on him, the ball often goes through his man. I love what he brings but I feel the last month Markov has offered more, pound for pound is stronger, taller and can hold his ground.

Markov has been in 12, and lost only three. No room for both in side.

WHE offers more versatility.

He did win the match against Adelaide.

But that's not the point. Scooby asked what is Fly if we lose?

I would rather have dropped Lipinski instead of Noble.I really don’t see what he(Lipinski)adds to the team.

Ditto.

I love Markovs straight line running, dependable field kicking, and he always works overtime to present as an option.

The unglamorous thing people usually don't see, is he really makes good decisions.

And amazingly let go by 2 clubs. Hine come on down. !!!

Yep, he's the guy that needs to deliver. Too many flash in the pan cameos. Wanna see a full game from him.

^I also expected that Lipinski would have been dropped.
It seems that we are worried that Noble will be too easily brushed aside by Melbourne players such as Hunter, on their HF line. But Noble brings such energy, speed and rebound off half back that it seems a risk to deprive ourselves of that advantage.
