Kennedy apparently was super close - any chance he gets added to the squad?

Would be great for him and us if he is starting 22

 

[luke livingston seagull]

Would love to see DC as sub this week and embrace the role, I reckon he would be seriously damaging coming in for the last 30-40 minutes of a final. No doubt he is best 22 in 2024 off the back of a full preseason, but has looked a bit cooked the past fortnight.

If there's any possibility Kennedy could play then he must play. With no reserves now he needs at least one game to find his legs before finals.

Even if he doesn't make the team for the first final it increases our stocks of players ready to play.

 

[Benaly28]

Think there will be one more out, possibly 2

With C Durdin picked I’m thinking JM.

Get Cripps and Docherty cherry ripe for finals.
Club playing this well

 

[David Sylvian]

We have the better back/ forward line, should break even in the midfield ergo WIN. Charlie to seal the Coleman. Team gets a well deserved two week break. Come back fully refreshed to smash them all in the finals for 17.

Any questions??

 

[Coops93]

All the people hoping Cripps doesnt play wouldn't be happy if he missed the Brownlow by a vote.
If he is fit he will play and CFC have not played games on seletion all year.

Cripps will be lucky to be close to the BnF, let alone a Brownlow.

 

[Coops93]

Does anyone subscribe to the fact we ‘need’ to have played finals before in order to impact.I personally don’t as some of the games and teams we’ve played over the 6 weeks have been finals like.

I think it's a myth that you need to play and lose in a finals series to be a chance to win one. No other sport in the world says it about a playoff/knockout cup competition except us. I'm not sure how it crept into AFL parlance but it gets said every year about a few clubs.

Imo it's a silver lining for when your team loses a final to say at least you've got some experience now.

Who kicks the first goal?

Agreed ...one never knows of course.
as I said to another poster, just pointing out the irony not suggesting it is likely for a moment

I reckon to win a Grand Final you've got to at least have won a preliminary

Owies from 60 out, answering for a friend!

 

[Magruder]

Owies from 60 out, answering for a friend!

Owies from 6 out, proceeds to stick it right up the opposing cheer squad.

FIFY...

 

[myblueroan]

So you can add someone to the squad? Wasn't sure on rules.

Looked like he trained fully

Would cop a fine but can be done.

If I had to guess, team at about 6pm Sunday when they announce Cripps is out....

FB: Kemp Weitering Newman
HB: Fisher McGovern Saad

C: Acres Hewett Cottrell
R: Pittonet Cerra Walsh

HF: Martin DeKoning Fogarty
FF: McKay Curnow Motlop

INT: Cincotta Dow Hollands Owies

SUB: Cuningham

Durdin next in if a forward half player is a late withdrawal, Marchbank if it's a back half player.

give him a comma though.....

Ellipsis? Ellipsis? Anybody seen Ellipsis?

No. I Wonder how it ends...

Bulldogs 2016 won it after being knocked out in an elimination the year before. Can’t recall them in a prelim before it.
Richmond 2017 hadn’t played in a prelim from memory.
The experience definitely helps but no a necessity.

Ralph and Cleary reporting Cripps out this weekend with rib soreness.
