6 Changes :-

 

[DirtyLeeds]

Bold or conservative?

Certainly not a form call, or Lord, Binns and Moir would be starting for sure.

Motlop and Durdin's dodgie shoulder and Cera in without a game (yes there's no VFL) a big NO DEAL

 

[M_I_G]

I wish my parents loved me as much as the club loves picking an underdone and poor performing Cerra

 

[reg_lower91]

Surprised Cincotta came out.
Thought he'd have gone to Neale.

Reckon we're just not going to tag him? If we do, who goes to him?
Doch? Not enough fitness for it
Kennedy? Too slow?
Hewett? Cowan maybe?

 

[Sweet Seventeen]

Predicting late change or two … surely

Yeah, Motts out for Cinc would make sense to me. Maybe playing ducks and drakes.

 

[Bundy Bear Bogan]

Happy with the ins - probably would have preferred Cincotta over one of Durdin/Motlop/Fantasia as I don't think we need all three. Lord stiff as well but was always gonna be some unlucky players with all the returnees

I'm totally with you c99. A bit disappointed for Lord but his time will come. The big one for me was dropping Cinc, surely he would have had a role on zorko or neale.
I think motlop on form and durdin for his stuffed shoulders are very lucky

 

[Monty1978]

Cerra lace out to tdk can’t wait !!!bring it on

 

[Tjblues]

People really need to get a grip with the Cerra (left) vs Lord (right) debate..





Sure it’s not a drastic difference, but even in a “down year” and coming off the ground injured multiple times, Cerra is a better option than Lord.

We’re all excited for what Lord can be, but the player that gives us the best chance to win on Saturday has been selected

 

[Graffy4242]

I think Cerra will make some posters eat humble pie. Tipping he'll have a cracking game

I’m baffled how Cinc could be out…. Just stupidity imo.

 

[mochacinolatte]

Makes sense Motlops is in for Owies.

Cerra over Cincotta is questionable.

Can't run 2 ruckmans.

 

[BlueZombie]

Two rucks makes us too tall - should've been either TDK or Pitto but not both - and robs us of extra run. And one thing we will need plenty of on Saturday is run.

 

[Soapy V]

Bold or conservative?

Certainly not a form call, or Lord, Binns and Moir would be starting for sure.

Motlop and Durdin's dodgie shoulder and Cera in without a game (yes there's no VFL) a big NO DEAL

Bold decision would have been to pick the younger players

 

[Red Bull]

 

[jackn]

To drop cinc and lord to bring cerra in is a joke. Similar to doing the same with Hewett. Has he played an above average game this year? Has he ever played even a semi decent game first up after an injury?

 

[Wickzki]

Cincotta dropped.

FMD.

Our best football this year was played with him in the side.

 

[The Fantom]

Match committee got sucked in by names instead of form.

What form.

Kids played ok against the cellar dwellers but to think they’ll get us over the the line against a hardened finals team in Brisbane, at the GABBA…. Well that’s laughable.

I guess it’s too hard for some to just support the selections and the team.

I’ll be keen to hear the comments on selection after the game, win or lose.

 

[Bryce Bubbles]

People upset over binns lord and moir being dropped they have played like 6 and half games collectively. Cerra is elite and has the runs on the board. Cerra will offer more than the younger ones.

 

[Sweet Seventeen]

There’ll be a late change for Pitto or TDK, one of them will go out

If TDK is fit, he’ll play ahead of Pitto

That means one of Carroll, Moir or Cinc comes in (hopefully Moir)

So Pitto has been battling week to week with his bung knee. TDK is almost right to go after his broken foot, not 100% healed apparently.

Me thinks, if this was a dead rubber. Then neither would be playing.

 

[swuzzlebubble]

Can he? Genuine question as I thought only someone on the bench could be named as the sub but not 100% sure.

Have to be in the 23

 

[Opium]

I'm sure someone told me to take it to the bank that Charlie's was playing when I said he was out.

Let's see on Saturday. I'm still confident in my info. I'll also update it if it changes.

You know, a football club is fluid and they change their minds right? Maybe you should try it.

You confident TDK will be a late out?

 

[Michael Jezz]

Side picked it to win it, rather than saving it

Bold, but I like it

You have to be kidding?

 

[Bundy Bear Bogan]

Surely Fantasia the sub?

Fanta isn't a good sub. He needs to rub up and down the ground all game. I don't think he's a impact player to come on for 30mins

 

[xDQ82x]

You confident TDK will be a late out?

No a few hours ago was told sub. Surprised me too.

 

[Arr0w]

You have to be kidding?

No, I'm not

 

[ITCHY EYEBALLS]

Cinc as the defensive Fwd who kicks goals, fmd the MC have short memories….Zorko BOG, bookmark it
