Sub is even riskier. If he starts and he gets injured, we've got a sib and it's only an issue if we get another injury. If he gets subbed in and gets injured we're one down even without another injury.

Lazy game by his standards. Look out this Saturday.Nick will be better for the run he had on Friday - he only had 28 disposals, 6 clearances and 520 metres gained.
Don’t forget selecting Jason Cloke at chf
That’s because Wade would have tried to break him. And couldn’t.

Floreat Pica, Bitch!
If Melbourne can beat Brisbane at the MCG without Fritsch, Petty and Oliver, surely we’re a chance despite missing McStay.
We would have loved to play Melbourne without Fritsch in the QF.
Fantasizing a bit, but I'd love JFN come in and be flag hero ala Kerrison from the 90 Flag.
Awesome post. Absolutely no apology needed. Your kindness will bring good karma.Hoping this is an omen and apologies for sharing in this thread(not sure where it would belong).. Got home from work today and sitting on my front step was this little man…

Was able to walk up to him and pat him. First thought was injured but called the wildlife contact ( made sure they did not support lions before i explained the situation) and they advised based on photos and videos that it was a young one that has just not learnt to fly yet. They told us that leaving him out was a risk as cats could get him and that we needed to get him into a box ( he has water and air holes) and keep him in garage to ensure safety. Apparently this is very common this time of year and that the parents will eventually come back and feed him but is probably 2 days away from flying. We need put him back in the same spot we found him in the morning so parents can find him. So for the next 24-48 hours we are proud foster parents of our first magpie. We will ensure his safety and watch him fly away this week for the ultimate success! His name is Darcy and we already love him! Go pies!!!️

Not to mention Jason Cloke as CHF in a GF.
I've been thinking for a few weeks that if we got to the GF and our opponent was Brisbane, we must have Frampton playing back. Release Moore to CHB and put Billy at FB. Murph becomes our third tall. Howe could be our swing man.
Reckon Ginni might be a bit stiff. Hasn't played a full game for weeks. I know he's a great trainer, but he might be lacking match hardness.

Replaced Alan Richardson from memory? Loved both those guys. Richie a bloody elusive back pocket and great development coach for us at one stage

I see where you're coming from but ginni won't be playing in the GF. Adams looks like coming in as does Frampton, I can't see a spot for ginni unless they drop someone like Lipinski and that ain't going to happen. Besides a loud roar from the crowd when he comes on, he doesn't really make his presence felt
Frampton as a swing man if forward or defence in trouble, over 200 cm that’s no a brainer for coverage against their big men
Always remember the play against GCS?? where he lead out and took a big grab, he is capable

Is Frampton in the Werribee word?

No but it makes more sense than your argument for ginni. At least give me your opinion. There's a little bit of all of us in werribee but that's irrelevant here

I didn't argue for Ginni - was just saying that him being sub won't make him unpickable.
I think it'll be WHE forward - Adams in for Mcstay. (I'd go with Howe forward)
And then who is sub out of Ginni and Noble will depend on where they want to use Daicos and which end game scenario they want a sub for - I'd reckon ginni - just because it's been Ginni the last two weeks.

That's better but we won't be going in without either Frampton or freddy, that's GF suicide. Doesn't matter how much you plan for a small forward line, as the pressure of a GF sets in, you're going to start bombing balls in the 50. I seriously doubt we leave ourselves open to that. I don't know what level you played at but I played in GF'S in the 80,s in the VFA and believe me, you will bomb the ball forward.

Shit level.
Just got to get the bombs to be top spinning finger breaking mongrel bombs. Frampton's a nuffie forward. It doesn't matter how big you are if you don't get near where it lands. I'd consider Freddy - but I'll be shocked if they play him. They had their chances when Coxy was struggling and he was going well in the VFL, but they said nah not this year.

But the other option is a small forward line. Do you really deep down believe we are going to get away with that in a GF. If Frampton is selected at least we have the option of interchanging him with Howe or throwing him into the ruck. I hope we don't go small

The game will be won at ground level - just got to get the rucks to push forward to the hotspot to bring enough balls to ground and top spin it in when Brisbane are set and we haven't got them in place yet. Richmond style.

I’m interested in what makes you so confident this year, do you think we’ll match up well against Brissy at the G?

Is McInnes a possible deus ex machina?
a) He has been declared fit.
b) Is a forward (unlike Frampton)
c) Was in better form than Kreuger in VFL at the end of the year, and doesn't get injured as easily
d) He is fast.
Perhaps a plan can be outlined for him to co-ordinate his running with Checkers so that he does present a viable second target, with a view to forcing the ball to ground level even if not marking it.
With him playing, Brisbane can't just focus on shutting down Checkers without worrying about another target. Also, McInnes would provide shock value, which always introduces the possiblity that they underestimate him.

I agree. BF can play forward, back and on ball. As a backman, he has shown he is quite capable. He ain’t great on ball or forward but he’ll make a contest and that may be all we need. He isn’t going to replicate McStay by any means but he provides flexibility for different in game scenarios.

I'm for anything that wins us the game. You know I value your opinion and forgive me for being a bit too firm on this. It's bloody grand finals and being a Collingwood supporter. By Saturday I will be playing classics like the holy grail and Pavarotti's vinicero at full blast over and over. It worked in 2010
