6 Changes :-

 

[RedFury]

No to any player who is likely to just break down in the first quarter/half. We know who they are.

 

[swuzzlebubble]

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?

Cerra and Martin I guess

 

[Opium]

Cerra and Martin I guess

Cerra doesn't play well after an injury last off. It's a big risk to rush him back

 

[Mentallo]

How good is this bye week... Did we need that or what... can we have 2-3 more weeks of byes too...

As a rule I am dead against it, the AFL season is a war of attrition for mine, but in this circumstance I think the AFL has got it right.

 

[Graffy4242]

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

I've been told he will be available for selection for the EF.

 

[Benaly28]

Fantasia offers way more than durds and williams

Zac is very important to our forward structure.

so no change then?

 

[Graffy4242]

Your mail is wrong.

Agreed. I've been told both TDK and Doch will be available for selection with a host of others.

 

[Gethelred]

Is two weeks long enough to superglue the wheels back on?

We'll see.

The AFL is expected to confirm Brisbane vs Carlton on Saturday Night, September 7.[Tom Morris]

 

[JamisonRun40]

We probably won't know who will be coming back into the team until a week's time, so I guess all we'll be doing will be assuming until then.

 

[Jacks Seething Rage]

I won't be convinced until we jump out to a 5 goal lead...

 

[Graffy4242]

If one of Charlie or H and McGov can come in that would be a huge help

All 3 will.

 

[Benaly28]

Lions again.

Last two games been very interesting

[BIuebagger]

How good is this? Lets cause some havoc and an upset first up and go from there

 

[Thrawn]

Can’t see TDK getting up for this one.

He will play.

Happy with that.

Extra day vs Friday night game for our injured players to get right.

Avoided playing in Brissy in a hot day game...its averaging 30 degrees up there which our boys wouldn't be used to.

 

[Mondyboy]

No to Cez for me. Agree he’s a jet when in form and when he trusts his body, but that hasn’t been the case this year.

In two games Lord has shown he can fill the Cerra role. He’s got clean hands and loves a tackle. Perfect for finals.

[RAPPA]

What a remarkably different complexion the side could potentially have. Could well be 6 or 7 best 22 players returning. Meanwhile there will be 3 or so unlucky omissions.

 

[SurreyBlue]

Except that they are so mentally sort of course …

i would have agreed with you but they have found their heart and soul in the last 2 weeks. We have been fighting with one hand behind our back and couldn’t have given anymore.

I also feel the coaches have learnt some things about the paying group. Moir, Lord, Binns belong, Kemp and Young are big additions at their respective spots, Ollie, Cowan, Elijah, Carroll, Durdin (playing with one shoulder) all have shown their AFL players.

These last 2 weeks have been what we needed to see!!!!

 

[JamisonRun40]

Keeping that Saturday night free for now.

 

[myblueroan]

Pls play Ollie H half back

Reminds me so much of simmo

WAs awesome today.

 

[LanceRomance]

Need a shower

So proud of our boys

 

[HavUEvaSeenTheRain]

I’m playing Cerra. You play finals to try and win the flag, I think we need him back to have any chance to go deep.
TDK if fit. Cerra, Curnow, McKay, Williams and Gov in.
Out Binns, Lord, Durdin, Carrol and one of the other small forwards. Pitto if TDK gets up but wouldn’t rush him.

 

[checkpoints]

I'm glad we get to continue this dance.

With players coming back and the underdog status for the finals series, I see us doing some serious damage.
