couldn’t even do that 2 years ago.

I've rolled my ankle badly. Needed crutches for the first week and then I could walk on it. There were definitely times where I felt I could get back to running but decided to rest a little longer as I'm not a pro athlete.

Leading into the Grand Final I expect they'll inject to numb the pain on the day and he'll play out without problem.

If it was a regular H&A they'd probably give him the week off, but I cannot see this being a major problem.

Also it's not his kicking leg

What's the drama? the Lions skipper can barely walk

Don't need to walk to throw the ball

 

[BloodySwan]

Couldn't walk and 12 clearances!!

 

[Troystenvic]

This waiting sucks

 

[BloodySwan]

Come Grand final I'd be the dodgiest player out there.

Stamping on Neale's ankles. Throwing myself into shoulder injuries. Rest of the season would be a different story

has a dodgy heel, ankle, achilles, sore calf and now a black eye. Logan looks pretty healthy in comparison.

 

[JackHiscoxWasFast]

Nice to see the Virgin flight crew with Swans scarves on btw.

 

[cherub]

Double suspensions and fines in the GF

Would you care if you won? Wasn’t there a retiring Brisbane player in the last of the three peat that went feral? Fine. Pffft.

 

[TheGoatBaron]

Start McDonald as sub if he’s slightly injured, if not bring Adams in for the ultimate fairytale

 

[BloodySwan]

Double suspensions and fines in the GF

Worth it

 

[kickthething]

Logan will be fine

Do people think they would do what they did re Mills and then fruck around w Logan…..makes no sense

 

[JackHiscoxWasFast]

Flight crew says do you have any hand luggage ? I pause, thinking only MccLuggage lol

 

[Ticky009]

Adams isn't even in the emergencies, Goat.

Francis, Ladhams, Cleary. God help us.

 

[Stencorp69]

I'll die inside if I wake up tomorrow and I see Ladhams in for McDonald.

yep certain 1-4

 

[TheGoatBaron]

Adams isn't even in the emergencies, Goat.

Francis, Ladhams, Cleary. God help us.

Worth the fine

This times 10000000

"Sorry Mills we just cannot take the risk. Logan on the other hand!"

When the player don't care

 

[Edmund hunt]

We have well and truly reached under dog status. The average lions winning margin people are saying is 24+.

Surely Cleary in for McDonald if he doesn't get up ?
Cleary looked like he could go through the middle a few times in the games he played which could allow Heeney and Warner to drift forward. Good speed and would keep the Brisbane defence honest if played up forward.
Ladhams could be 2nd ruck and allow McLean to just play forward all game. Ladhams is not a good forward (neither is Grundy) so a two ruck set up isn't going to add anything.
Francis when he has been switched around and played forward looked ok and made a few grabs but his goal kicking is horrible , for me only comes in if a defender goes out.
