6 Changes :-

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Blake and his shoulders now look forward to the finals

Crippa's too. He was flexing that arm like crazy.

 

[Ald Gardiner]

I'd rather keep him forward, but with Daniher, Hipwood and Morris up their end, will we want to play him back or keep Young in the side to take on one of the first two?

Young played in winning Lions team at Gabba Rd 1. Gov back to help. Kemp stays as third forward.

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Young played in winning Lions team at Gabba Rd 1. Gov back to help. Kemp stays as third forward.

That's the way I've named my side.

 

[Aphrodite]

Playing Friday night

1st Rnd of the Finals released tomorrow.

 

[Sam The Doc]

If McGovern is playing then I'd leave Kemp up forward - Weitering, Young and McGovern are a solid back three, and would be great to see what Kemp is capable of against the third best defender rather than their best.

Yeah Exactly, Wilkie is Weitering like... never stood a chance

 

[outabounds]

In: Curnow, McKay, McGovern, Williams, De Koning
Out: C Durdin, Owies, Motlop, Binns, Pittonet

Newman Weitering Cowan
Saad Young McGovern
O Hollands Cripps Acres
E Hollands McKay Fantasia
Kemp Curnow Williams
TDK Hewett Walsh

Kennedy Cincotta Lord J Carroll

Sub: Moir

Not bad , I'm just not sure we can dump all 3 of the small forwards. I'm keeping Owies and he can replace Lord on the bench.

 

[Beyond Blue]

If H and CC are back, does Kemp become the 3rd forward or go back to the backline?

Keep Kemp forward it’s where he belongs

 

[Wickzki]

Putting this out there early:

1. If anyone wants to catch up I'm happy to do so the day before, day of or day after.

2. If anyone has a couple of barcodes that they're not going to use would love to take my partner and son again (I already have my own).

If not on either, then all good. Love you all. Go the Blues!

 

[Chism]

My mail is that he won’t play again this year unfortunately

Your mail is wrong.

 

[CCurnow3votes]

We will cause some pain…..my prediction. The boys aren’t going to give this up easily,

Except that they are so mentally sort of course …

 

[tarczonandjane]

Blake and his shoulders now look forward to the finals

Hopefully his fingernails and his hair are up for it again too

 

[NewDarkNavyBlues]

If McGovern is playing then I'd leave Kemp up forward - Weitering, Young and McGovern are a solid back three, and would be great to see what Kemp is capable of against the third best defender rather than their best.

Hell no. Young is awful. Would get pantsed at the Gabba in a final.

 

[The Fantom]

I’m just happy to be able to post here.

 

[tarczonandjane]

In all seriousness, our boys should just come in and take this game on. Give it a go and see what happens.

 

[carlton_99]

On Sportsbet it has this game scheduled for a Friday night (6th of Sep) - not sure if it's been leaked or official

 

[passmark]

I’m not convinced about that. Has been some signs of life over past two games.

Could be.

All the pressure will be on the Lions. They know they should have finished top 4 and we probably feel we’ve been given a free hit.

[backtozero]

Actually hope you destroy Brisbane. They're our biggest bogey side.

 

[JuddgementDay]

Finals footy is more intense, we can only afford to bring in 100% fit players.

So, who do we have that’s 100% fit?

CC, McKay & McGov - locked in

Wait & see
TDK, Boyd & Williams?

Have I missed anyone else?

 

[HBF]

If H and CC are back, does Kemp become the 3rd forward or go back to the backline?

I'd keep Kemp forward. Gov comes in and plays on the 3rd tall.

 

[Accidental genius]

In all seriousness, our boys should just come in and take this game on. Give it a go and see what happens.

think they will...its good that the pressure is now not on us...might help a tad

lions at the gabba is difficult but not impossible if you bring 200 pressure

 

[jooce8891]

On Sportsbet it has this game scheduled for a Friday night (6th of Sep) - not sure if it's been leaked or official

likely just as a placeholder so they can grab as much money as early as possible

 

[Pablito]

I'd go if available.
IN: Harry, TDK, Charlie, Cerra, McGovern and Docherty.
OUT: Young, Pitto, Motlop, Fantasia, Cowan, Cincotta.

Play Moir for the full game.

Also Durdin is on thin ice. Played well last week but disappeared again this week. Could be omitted also.

 

[swuzzlebubble]

Ins: Curnow, McGovern, McKay, Williams, De Koning, Martin, Boyd

Discuss

TDK I doubt is ready unfortunately
Martin probably too risky even if available.
Boyd might be optimistic too and probably not selected ahead of those who did the job last two weeks
Do we know Williams injury and timeframe?

Question is which of the young guys showed enough to hold their spots? Lord? Binns? Moir?

What does our forward line look like when Charlie Harry & Kemp plus potentially Williams

Docherty I love the story but surely he's underdone match fitness wise?

 

[Sam The Doc]

Actually hope you destroy Brisbane. They're our biggest bogey side.

You shouldnt worry too much though, they keep dishing up hideous last quarters... you would've kicked 10 against up in the final q last night
