Preview Round 12 - Fremantle Dockers vs Brisbane Lions, Optus Stadium Sunday 5.20pm

[mattsmob]

Maybe someone is being managed.

If someone is being managed I'd hope Berry gets a run first, if two people are getting managed I hope it's Cocky and Berry that come in. If three are getting managed I'll be back to disappointed because we're resting 3 guys against another top 4 team.

 

[marooned]

Saw Clugga after last weeks game and asked him you going to be right for next week? He said yep I’ll be back next week.

I don't think anyone truly believes it, just discussion at this point of the week.

I'll believe it when I don't see him run out against us.

Edit: or if the WAFL game is before ours then when I see him run out for Peel.

 

[BRAB]

Boy oh boy BRAB you have been a really BRAB12 pessimist this year. Will be an interesting game but I think our pressure and intensity will show up for this one.

I was making a joke about how Fremantle don’t like the rain Thomas

What colour training Guernsey was he wearing?

 

[Johnny Bananas]

A huge decision coming at the selection table ahead of Sunday’s game against Fremantle with Hugh McCluggage expected to return from the hamstring niggle that kept him out last week. His replacement Deven Robertson was fantastic against GWS, sparking the flat Lions with 17 disposals and two goals and would be unlucky to miss out. Jaxon Prior and Cal Ah Chee are also on the fringe but playing terrific football. There is also the option of resting a senior player like captain Dayne Zorko or Jarryd Lyons

Verdict: McCluggage for Robertson – Michael Whiting

In the mix, R12: Who's pushing for selection, who's under the pump?

 

[T Rick]

Didn't Dev and Matho both play when we beat Freo in Perth last year - Lachie was a late withdrawal due to sickness.

 

[Clarkythelion]

The cats out of the bag Channel 7 news Brisbane had a snippet of the Lions training and McCluggage was in the background running freely at pace and having a shot of goal. I know they have now said he has to get through Thursday as well but assume he is playing.

 

[irel]

What colour was his mouthguard?

Purple. Now I'm really worried.

 

[Brian_45]

Very interested to see how your mob goes, they are certainly up and about after beating an undermanned Dees. From what I remember you guys flogged them late last year?

Two good wins:
Round 8 – 9 May 2021 Gabba: Brisbane 95 – 71 Fremantle
Round 21 – 8 August 2021 Optus Stadium: Fremantle 54 – 118 Brisbane

But I feel like they are a different challenge this year

The dockers had three of their best 22 out including their best player so I would say it was fairly even on outs tbh.

 

[DERRINALPHIL]

On the issue of who is going to be the sub Ah Chee is far more versatile than Dev Prior of Mitch. Could this be s
a factor in who goes where?

Although that helps in game as well.
Unless you magically seem to get someone injured or re injured in the third for some run. Which I never seen happen at all

 

[Nathan Barley]

If Ah Chee is in the starting 22 he can still be versatile and accommodate a less versatile sub coming on

 

[briztoon]

I don’t know if he is their best player anymore.

 

[a mayes ing]

What about drop Fort and keep Dev in? Fort will be going out when Danniher is in, so it will just be a bit earlier.

 

[Sherrinator]

I don’t know if he is their best player anymore.

I kind of think Fyfe is a liability. Messes with their structure and seems to demand the ball just by being there.

 

[martinson]

Fyfe's a champ.

Fit and well he'd be one of the first picked at any AFL club. Even half fit.

Just not at a club that has Lachie Neale playing for it.
