Stewart in is a given. It’s who comes out that is the questionWell he won’t be playing VFL while sitting out another weekend, nothing fanciful about a Sub making way for a 5xAA

I will concur if we hold up the cup.No, it was the most important game of the year
and thousands of empty seats...that could be why...lack of supporter base
Someone pretty unlucky.
Sign of a strong team.Someone pretty unlucky.
Its too small. Needs sdk.
Sign of a strong team.
Agreed.And just as importantly a healthy one.
Agreed.
Yet we still have Rohan and MOC unavailable due to injury/surgery, and both are > depth players. Given we can't fit in CGuthrie, and THawkins, we ARE in good shape.
Right call IMO.Both Lions players free to play Geelong
No argument needed- Tuohy and Duncan close to that as well; they say your bottom 6 determines your worth, and our bottom tier of players is the best of the prelim teams, imhoI’d argue that Hawkins, Rohan and MOC aren’t in our best 23 anymore. A fully fit Guthrie hopefully still is yet it’s been 2 years since we’ve seen that form.
On current form we aren’t missing anyone from being selected (touches every bit of wood in reach).
I don’t necessarily think it is “weak” but very even. No stand out team really since Richmond flags.Nah syd will smash port.
Geel vs syd i reckon.
As i said earlier in the year i dont think we are flag worthy but the comp is very weak and therefore we could win it.
Its fallen our way as we matchup really well on brisbane and their mcg record is crap
Then an interstate team in the GF
Now we are here we just must win the flag as we will never get a more straightforward path to one in the next 10 years.
Plus for some of the oldies who are retiring in a couple of weeks plus danger this is probably their last chance to win a flag.
So lets get it done.
GC, IF they ever make a home final? GABBA?You're right but it's home state final. Their finals should be at the SCG. Regardless of how many fans they have (which is not enough after last night's attendance effort).
Maybe just wishing we had 2 of him?People constantly calling Stengle “Stengles” is worse.
Tagging lachie neale is a mustNo argument needed- Tuohy and Duncan close to that as well; they say your bottom 6 determines your worth, and our bottom tier of players is the best of the prelim teams, imho
Sure. And multiple others- Ashcroft, Rayner, Dunkley, Cameron all need to be sat on.Tagging lachie neale is a must
I can’t believe I am typing this but BEWS can NOT miss surely? He will be sent to Cameron (who is not in great form but still needs to be sat on). Brisbane have a pretty small forward line so we can’t go too tall.Look the safer option is bews because hes spent 3/4 of the year in the vfl.
But the reality is we have 1 certain in and 1 likely in-at least one of tuohy or bews has to miss out.
tuohy is on the edge given he was sub vs port.
Yes and no. Bews was ok but no more and wasn't given a specific lockdown role. Mullin did a solid job on JHF but that's a very particular role and player that suits his strengths.
They both did the job when needed but they're also both far from undropable. I'd say we had players miss flags who were more unlucky than either of those 2 in most of our premierships this century. Stokes, Milburn and Menegola come to mind.
Can you believe the tone we all have now compared to where we have been most of the season. Me included - worried that we are pretenders and couldn’t possibly contend with a transition squad.Danger is on a mission to become
Premiership Captain + Win Normie
Holmes wants to avenge missing 22
Jezza to redeem poor GF performance
After his interrupted GF eve sleep
Oldies want to go out as winners
Mannagh desperate to take his chance
New Cats are hungry and primed
The team is in form and fresh
Cats know they are capable of winning
They will all give it their best shot
Yeah exactly. And all of those decisions - including Milburn and Mooney, too - were flagged prior to the PF week, with all those players being outside the senior side.Yes and no. Bews was ok but no more and wasn't given a specific lockdown role. Mullin did a solid job on JHF but that's a very particular role and player that suits his strengths.

Do our midflieders where the long stops to test it out….. Sorry!It'll be interesting to see how much the foot issue/injury hampers Neale
