Oh boy. You just know it’s going to happen, don’t you?!

If we keep winning then in Gunston's first game we lose. Boy O Boy Wowee there's going to be trouble..

The Lions on the other hand will be taking inspiration from Barbie.. by looking pretty and doubling their score

I get they are looking for a powerful story, and everything about the bomb was powerful but ...

It's still a very ugly thing.

Overcoming obstacles through overwhelming teamwork

Rich announcing retirement now goes against what's happen over the past few years.

Is it a 'do it for rich, let him bask in the team glory in his final moments in the club' motivator?

Lachie certainly lauded him in that interview.

Rich is so respected, I can see him giving a pre game speech about 15 years of toiling without ultimate success and you can do it for me being pretty bloody powerful.

Overcoming obstacles through overwhelming teamwork

I've been giggling to myself every half hour or so since I saw it. Just an incredible read of the movie.

5 stars, Ken, nothing further from me.

Aside from Lincoln McCarthy returning from injury, don't expect too many changes from the Lions to face Port Adelaide at the Gabba on Saturday night. McCarthy missed the final round against St Kilda with a calf injury, but has recovered and will line up again at half-forward. The only genuine decision for coach Chris Fagan and his match committee is who to leave out and that will come down to either Jarryd Lyons or Deven Robertson depending on whether they want inside grunt or versatility. - Michael Whiting
R24 sub: Kai Lohmann (replaced Jarryd Lyons

Michael Whiting is pretty much on the ball here. I would suggest we are looking at

In: McCarthy
Out: Lyons
Sub: Lyons

Yep, no need to overthink this one. Lyons as reinforcement in the middle in Q4 to win footy. Put McCarthy back in to the forward line.

Off we go to get this done.

Florence Pugh's role in this rendition will be played by Kochie.

Luke Hodge does a weekly half hour slot on SENQ, his thoughts on injured pair Rich and Gunston today >

1- Richy trained the house down this week and will be ready if we have injuries down back in the finals.

2- Hopefully the boys get through to the Prelim which will give Gunners a chance to come back in.

Hodge's tips- Demons, Blues, Saints, Lions.

Hinkley has rallied the Power, drawing on Oppenheimer character Heisenberg, having to lead a bomb program in Germany against the red, white (gold) and blue Americans.

Lachie Oppey Neale is enemy number #1.

As long as the Gabba isn't Hiroshima in this metaphor I am fine with it.

Hopefully wines will be getting a full cavity search before being let into the Gabba. I have too much to live for.

No nukes used against Port.. just fire bombing by way of Joe Daniher snags.

I heard from a reliable source that Richy's not quite right yet but should play this weekend in the VFL......maybe just easing him in instead of full tilt while training.
Once again heard that the word is as soon as Gunners is right to go, he will be in the 22. Maybe next week or the week after.

Warm up the coaching thread...

Gee I really hope "the word" you heard is dead set wrong on this one ML.

If something like Dev Robertson/Jaspa Fletcher out and Jack Gunston in happens I will lose my shite and go into full on Fukushima meltdown mode.

I have faith in our coach and his helpers to make the decision thats right for the occasion.

I’m hearing the lions are basing their finals campaign on the unabomber

I'm putting more weight behind the overwhelming amount of evidence that the coaches rate his contributions higher than the fans do rather than counting on any inside info

It's happening. If he's fit then they'll select him
