I'm another happy with the changes.
Did throw up Stiller earlier in the week in the changes thread. Was very poor last week on a ground that I would have expected to suit him.
Still not sure that Jed will get to the line & have in the back of my mind that another change may yet be made. Would be interesting choice, Stiller may yet get a reprieve although I think Hardings pace injection would be valuable.
Concerned with who matches up on Didak. Shermo might just be a little lose for me, job might go to Irish. Big ask.
Henderson as a 3rd tall option is something I look forward to seeing. Both times we met last year they struggled with our alternative option being Clark at the GABBA & then Brennan at the 'G. Throw in Bradshaw & if we can come out OK in the stoppages we will win.
Thats the key. We were slaughtered at the stoppages yet only got beaten by 3 goals in Perth against the Eagles. If we can get our share this week we will prove difficult to hold out at home.

May find the resting ruckman in our backline for them a problem.
We need some HGH for some our midget backmen. lol.

I'm surprised anyone really wastes much energy being indignant about us being called a 'one player team' or the likes.
Crikey how many years did we hear that but simply substitute Brown with Voss?
Not having a go at you John, just using your post to point out that history is repeating itself. We should be saving our energy for barracking tomorrow night instead of worrying about that old chestnut. You know the team on Nova had a good few comments this morning about our game, and the % of supporters expected for each team. I think I'll just save my energy for yelling tomorrow night.
Lace Out
Full of it.

Getting confident about this one.
Lions by 22.

Stiller spent a lot of the third and fourth quarters last week on the bench getting his calves worked. Maybe he's injured, maybe he was cramping, or maybe he's just not fit enough. He didn't do a great deal last week, regardless of whether he's got an excuse, it's probably still a justified change.
Goodluck to Ooh Aah this week in the seconds, hope he has a blinder and demands senior selection for the swannies game.

Happy with the changes. Proud demanded a spot and Hendo adds the flexibility that we need. Stiller must have been a tough decision and I'd reckon it was line ball between him and Riska.
I think that Stiller will use this set back as a positive and really carve it up in the twos. Hopefully it will be a wake-up call to Riska too. He seems to perform better against the "slower" type midfields so it's time to shine or else.
Mildly confident about this one. Mildly more to protect myself from the pain of losing against the scum when I'm sure we're going to win than anything else. Lions by 8. Can't wait for the real action at the Gabbatoir in 08!

If I'm not wrong, I think Cozi36 sits up that end.
Wear earplugs if you meet her though... she's a bit excitable.
wow, you really do learn something everyday.

You only really need one earplug. The ear not facing her only rings for a few days, after that it starts to come good again....

You are not going to cry if he kicks another goal are you?
I'll try not to, but at times you can't handle your emotions, especially as it was his first since round 22, 2006. That's a long time between kicking a ball through the big sticks!
