Injured:
Doedee (season, but resulting in the rise and rise of Worrell)
Murray and Butts (also resulting in our seeing what Keane and Borlase can do --- bonus!!)
Rankine's hammy, yet we're still kicking winning scores.
Now Jones' foot; will they bring in Cook?
Given the injuries, I never thought we'd hammer Port (who pushed Geelong last night) and beat GCS who have also been in good form after their Dew evaporated
.
Our defensive depth has been impressive. Still need another creative mid, but, even with the return of Lazarus-Crouch.
Now for Brisbane at their 'fortress'.
I had a look at the Table --- we're only one win out of 5th spot, making some of our earlier losses veryVERY costly.
If we can beat Brisbane away (very tough ask), Sydney at home, then belt WCE, we've gotta be a chance still for 5th/6th and what's more, the Crows will have deserved it.

Sorry, what please?
General soreness. Pops up when you least want it with debutantes.

Bold. Jeez, I hope so!
I was thinking if we win our last 3, we'd finish 5th or 6th. 2024/25 are looking good.

Oh, I didnt realise Brissy are doing the Late Sunday game in the West.
Followed by the longest flight in football.
Plus only get the 6 day break.
That's a substantial advantage to us. I'll take anything I can get!

Ah, ok thanks
.Keane didn't look like he'd been affected after one game, but Borlase did look cooked in the last yesterday after a good (cleanhands
) debut.

With Jones out, we need someone to slot back into that small defender role, so bringing in Sloane should cover that.

Leave him a sub. Fills that spot well. Not the future anymore.

Do you think we learn to spell our youngsters during the year from now on?
Nah. Youngsters regularly get played until they are gassed if they are good enough to be best 22. Sometimes its 6 games sometimes its 18.....
I don't know the rationale, but seems to be what happens across the board. Several seasons of putting a lot of time into Supercoach, and the pattern seems to be there.
Maybe it builds match fitness?

Agree with these. Except the Thilthorpe if injured. Both he and Rachele need a kick up the arse and sent to SANFL for a few weeks. Probably have Murphy out as well for Rankine
So you saw my debutAh, ok thanks

I agree, but only if Rankine is 100% fit. Cannot risk him this week. If he does it again, or worse, he'll be out for the rest of the year.
We beat PA and GCS without him --- surprisingly, both good wins --- and might have to do the job on Brisbane without him again.

On debut?
Sitting by the bench. Jones hobbled off. They taped his ankle. Ran along boundary and on return run to bench he signalled to staff that he was no good. Boot straight off and iced ankle/foot.
Nah

Looked more ankle than foot, caught up in the tackle.

Need to find another wingman as Jones only playing back when we get injuries to defenders... which granted has been most games.
I think we can play likes of Schoenberg & Soligo through wings with Smith... allowing Pedlar to come in.

Thilthorpe’s form has been fine - outside of his set shots last two weeks.
Played well yesterday beside the two shots

Pedlar for Jones, yes. That is a no-brainer.
Why Cook? He hasn't exactly demanded a spot.
Rankine only if he is 110% fit. I would err on the side of caution.
Pedlar has also played on the wing a fair bit at SANFL level and even a bit in the firsts this season. Has that long kick which can score goals or get the ball in very quickly to our forwards.

Agreed. Maybe time to give Berry a chance. Maybe on Cameron. Berry is a tackling machine.

Where's this stuff coming from that Rankine might be good to go? I haven't read anything official, only from BF.
