We're gong to mulch them at the Gabba.Could Berry tag Dawson? Or at least if the game is in the balance how do we stop Dawson getting involved?
They had a glory moment yesterday.
Doesn't matter who plays on who.

Rayner can't play on ball except a cameo.
Don't ask me the coaches agree.
Sharp would be great to have before the Sydney game comes around. Only one job for him - tag Gulden wherever he runs and shut him down.I think we need to get sharp back on a wing somehow
Teams like Gold Coast will flog us with their run.
They won’t be alone.
I agree, we were being belted through our mid-field up to half time and into the start of 3rd Qtr, bringing fletcher on was needed to get some run through there. Morris just had to be the one to come off, not that he was horrible but he couldn't play the running role of Fletcher. We have seen with Morris that with only a few possessions he still hurts on the scoreboard and has been in good form. If we start with the 3 talls which I think we should then it's probably Zac from the rest of the ground that is a little down on form but could be a real impact player later in the game.If in the unlikely event the coaches went with it Zac Bailey would be a great option as the sub, come on fresh, his pace and evasiveness would have an impact.
I agree about Rayner in the middle. I have a feeling, there are probably heat maps and stuff but its just a feeling from watching them live, Rayner attends a centre bounce then charges forward, he is a mid fielder that doesn't roam to the wings as much as others. Just feel from watching, "how did he get there so quick" he just runs up and down the corridor and that catches the opposition out. I was one critical of Rayner's form but his big body in the midfield and his turning up deep forward is now working.I'm not suggesting he play "on ball" per se
What I'm suggesting is that he could be used very effectively at Centre Square bounces more than he is currently being used.
We were pretty awful at the Centre Square against the Dees the other night and even in that huge victory against Port, we lost the Centre Square clearances.
14-17 in the Port game and 7-14 against Melbourne.
On the other hand, when we beat the Dees in Melbourne in Round 5, Rayner tore them a new one at Centre Square clearances in the first half which practically won us the match.

That's where I'm coming from.Sharp would be great to have before the Sydney game comes around. Only one job for him - tag Gulden wherever he runs and shut him down.
Logan's apparently been a total world beater who a week later now needs to be rested or sub.
Perplexes a numpty such as me.
Zac has been hopeless tbh. Deserves a spell somewhere .
Lester's a gun. Hard though that could be to accept.
You can’t just spam your ultimate ability over and over. I mean imagine if Goku just used true ultra instinct on every opponent. Sometimes you’ve gotta let it rest and recharge. Know what I’m saying?
Yes I have considered this from time to time. Sharp’s form in the vfl is very good, but as you say it is hard to see who he replaces in the wing rotations.I wonder if it would be worth trying Sharp as a small defender who could play on the small quick forwards who seem to cause us so much trouble. He seems quick enough and obviously has the running ability to stick with them over distance. I don’t see how he will ever lock down a wing position up against McCluggage,Fletcher,Bailey,Reville etc so maybe its time to find where he could fit because he is too good to lose imo.

Definitely hope Payne is in. We need him fit and firing come the end of the year though. So if he needs another week or so then happy to back Joyce in. Will be better for the run and we need him as solid coverage.
Morris structurally should start if fit. If he needs a rest thats also fine, would be interested in HSmith having a run for 3/4. We need to see what he can do at some point.
I like Bruce but agree we looked way better structurally with Fletcher on the wing. Think he works much harder in transition than Bruce. Bruce also can be a decent impact player who can play on the wing or inside or on a flank. Makes more sense structurally to make him sub, plus I think its better to rotate it around. Still a lot of games to go, finding ways to give players a rest is critical at this time of year
Im sure I heard fagan say in the presser payne will play this week.
Fingers crossed he is, but if there is a risk and its better off resting him up another week then do it. We definitely need him fit and firing at the end of the seasonIm sure I heard fagan say in the presser payne will play this week.

Melbourne researched well and played 4 talls back.
Seemed to unsettle us to some degree.
