Ease on, obviously some tongue-in-cheek there with the laughing emoji...

Nah nothing really. He said he had hopes of playing finals. He didn’t completely rule it out.
Definitely said “infected leg”.
I tried not to hassle him too much since he was being swarmed by people.
edit: infected leg not foot.

If that's the case, sounds like more unlikely than likely he'd even be available.
Please. - no Bianco or McCrae. They are not the answer. Bloody hell, the cupboard is bare when it comes to our mids coming in from the VFL if JC is unavailable.

Have Elliott as more midfield, bring in Henry? Or Kreuger.
Bring in Cal, and put Nick more in the middle (though he prob isn't ready) or Maynard in the middle more.
Not too many options, so will have to pick one.
Cal has a dip but gee he has had so many chances and has not grabbed them. Maynard in the middle is tempting but I think we'll need all hands-on deck down back on Saturday night.

Last time Cal played as the sub, I thought he did pretty well. Couldn't have done much more. So its not the worst option available.
Who comes in, we'll see. Not sure Kreuger has the match fitness for a full afl game after so long out. But its an option. Lets see what they do in a few days.

Fred, Cox, Checkers, Johnson… all in the one forward line?

Haha..free kicks? You haven't watched many freo games.
Should be a good game. Good luck. You guys have had a great season and have been good to watch..shame you couldn't have helped put Geelong out of their misery ..
I doubt they pick someone as the sub unless they are confident he can run out a full game, injury could occur at any time. I reckon he’ll play, but as you say we’ll see.

You recover pretty quickly from sepsis. He'll be fine to play if we need him.

Shhh! Don’t tell Fly I stole this secret footage from his team playbook.

JC to replace Adams, infected leg willing. Whatever he lacks in AFL fitness or polish, he’s a goer, gets involved and kicks goals. None of the other possibilities do that.

Elliott would have been handy in the middle against Geelong and it would have given him an opportunity to get more involved. I'd side with Jen in bringing in Kreuger or Henry to take some of the forward time that Elliott occupies while he takes midfield minutes.
Pendles can also spend more time in the middle.
Tay leaves a big hole to fill and I agree, Bianco or Macrae are not 1:1 replacements. JC if fit any day of the week and twice on Sundays.

If he is fit, it's got to be him. He is still not the answer, but the best we have without reshuffling the current line up.
Henry’s best game of the season was against Freo in round 10 when he came on as medi sub and kicked 4 in wet conditions. He’s been close to being selected in recent times. I’d go with a horses for courses approach and play him over Mihocek who has been struggling of late perhaps with an injury.

I think Freddy will come in for Adams and Brown will be sub. Unless JC is available as sub.
Don't know what's going on with mihochek but if it were up to me I'd drop him. Just doesn't look himself not sure whether his holding an injury or not. Would bring Henry in instead. However I highly doubt fly will drop him at this point on time

HEY MAGPIE ARMY!
Biggest focus of this week should be somehow ensuring the players aren't looking beyond Saturday night
If Carmichael can't be the sub then you'd think:
Out: Adams
In: Krueger, Henry (sub)
Maybe Checkers will do better not being the "key forward" like he has been
Just let Elliott, Maynard and Daicos spend more time in the middle this week
Otherwise, if Carmichael can get up, make him the sub:
Out: Adams, Mihocek
In: Krueger, Henry, Carmichael (sub)

IN: Kreuger (to play as a defender), Maynard to move into the middle
OUT: Adams.
Should J. De Goey be out, then Carmichael comes in as a first choice before Brown or Bianco are considered. One will play, the other will be sub.
