McKay needs to see a hypnotist.

All time low tonight.

 

[Arr0w]

Played a fair portion of our 9-game streak without H, doubt we'll do anything too different.

Harry and Martin out?

 

[SkyhorseTamer]

JSos was pushing for the Swans game. He'll be ready for this one.

 

[Juddernaut08]

lets go blues!

 

[Revenant1965]

Voss has confirmed in his presser that H will be out next week with concussion. Sad for H.

 

[jj1978]

No chance for next week, 12 days by the looks.

Confirmed by Voss in presser

 

[Benaly28]

We might drop a tall back depending Demons structure

On top of Harry being out?

[reubsblues]

In Jsos if fit and Dow
Out. McKay, Martin
Kennedy sub

 

[JuddgementDay]

Now that we’ve got the sought after Finals experience - we can confidently claim the 17th cup already

We’ve already beaten our next three opponents - Dees, Port and Pies - easy run

Let’s go Baggers - oh yeah, one week at a time

 

[Wickzki]

In: Jesse Motlop, Ollie Hollands, Paddy Dow

Out: McKay, Martin

 

[passmark]

Sydney played much better than Collingwood or Melb tonight.
We match up better against Melbourne than Sydney.
Losing Martin will hurt but I think we’re the favourites.

 

[kreuze_missile]

MCC category 1 game?

 

[Kreuuuzeurns]

Tough week to lose two of our better forwards

IN: Silvagni, Motlop
OUT: McKay, Martin

Dow/Kennedy/Hollands sub
Acres gets up. Tough as nails.

 

[Arr0w]

In: Jesse Motlop, Ollie Hollands, Paddy Dow (s)

Out: McKay, Martin

That could be very close to the changes

Or

Kennedy as a forward

Or

Kemp

 

[ctwenty1]

Anyone know when GA tickets go on sale? Monday early afternoon presumably.

 

[Coona Blues]

In: Jesse Motlop, Ollie Hollands, Paddy Dow (s)

Out: McKay, Martin

If JSOS is fit, almost has to come in. Don’t like Charlie’s chances V May and Lever. (Would love some feedback from the “scratchie”)

Similarly Kennedy would have to enter the mix if performed well in the “scratchie”.

Acres very hampered in final quarter. if aggravated shoulder Dutchy straight in.

With Motlop, Dow and Fisher and the three above, we surely have our squad.

At least we have options to cover most eventualities. Also, Dees minus Petty, Brayshaw, Melksham and Van Rooyen, so we are not too badly done by. Reckon we have more coverage.

Likely another Friday night game.

 

[The Bighouse]

Out of the 23; H (concussion), Motlop (sub), potentially Martin (susp?)
In; JSOS, Dow (sub), Kennedy/C.Durdin smokey for Boyd up forward

 

[jj1978]

That could be very close to the changes

Or

Kennedy as a forward

Or

Kemp

Kemp and Weiters in synch... perhaps McGovern?

 

[Arr0w]

If both Harry and Martin are out, Motlop would be a lock

 

[Arr0w]

Kemp and Weiters in synch... perhaps McGovern?

Kemp still has those brain fades

Has to be Friday night doesn’t it, break for the other teams Sat to Sat.
G.Lyon was saying Friday night.
Flights booked for Friday night….

 

[jj1978]

Kemp still has those brain fades

McGovern though has the more forward experience and craft and Kemp I feel would be more settled down back. Definitely think Kennedy comes in.

 

[The Bighouse]

If both Harry and Martin are out, Motlop would be a lock

Locked up in a tackle. No space again, usual MO. Doesn’t enthuse for another final.

 

[Wickzki]

That could be very close to the changes

Or

Kennedy as a forward

Or

Kemp

Given that JVR is out, we could easily play Kemp forward. I really wouldn't mind Kennedy coming in as that marking medium sized Forward to replace Martin but only if he can get through the game entirely

Good calls.

 

[Bletch]

Harry and Martin out?

Wonder if Kennedy can do the Martin role?
