Norm Smith Medallist
Basically the face promoting the game so it would be pretty cruel by the club to then not name him in the team.
He'll be the sub I think.
McKenna back to first 22.

I park at nerang train station and walk the 25min walk (or catch the shuttle).Billy ray I've missed out on the blue car park for the first time in forever, is there anywhere to park within walking distance of the stadium?
I have a few reservations about a Hippy move to defence. Mainly in a few areas, dropped marks could be an issue, turning over the ball with kicks that are often too hard and too flat, and at times his ability to not move the ball on quick enough.
If we can get this win and to me now it is a big if, what a victory it would be.
Yeah I agree with this. Easy in a week like this to focus a fair bit on what players aren't capable of. But I'm quite sure our coaching group will be focusing this week on what our players ARE capable of, and building the team around that.We are going to cop goals from marks inside 50 this week. It's a given. We just need to convert our chances and beat them in a shoot out. We are forced to play smaller in defence so we can also turn that into an attacking advantage and winning ground balls in D50.
Yeah I think Plan A will be to try to control the game with our short kicking, similar to how we did in our first game against Gold Coast this year.My initial hope was we go small & run them off their feet, just hope to survive as much as we can on the other end in an open game... But after thinking it through I feel a slower game suits us for a number of reasons, and probably suits moving a few taller pieces down back.
Besides the obvious size vs size is usually the best antidote in defence, our ball movement is actually at its best when we control the game with our short kicking. Some of our best moments this year have been where we pick apart the opposition through high quantity marking through and around the middle. Therefore, it would be a drastic change to just fire up the handball game (which was a Fagan off season plan, that failed early).
Additionally, should we use smalls to make it a fast-paced game, that would mean more its more open & 1v1s which, if we're undersized, is not going to work well. A slower game would allow us to block/impede the runs of a King to a marking contest and give an extra a better chance of helping out & either intercepting or interrupting what would be an easy mark.
Think a smaller fwd line has always worked well for us up fwd so happy for Smith to be dropped for Morris.
Hipwood or Fort down back, Lester 2nd tall, Prior/ Answerth in (ahead of a McKenna or Beecken).
Also looking at our quarter stats after 18 games, I wonder if we go all out in the first quarter to get a healthy lead; therefore playing Hipwood forward and keeping our forward line as its always been and then making adjustments thereafter:
Q1 - won 15, lost 3, +214
Q2 - won 10, lost 8, +55
Q3 - won 9, lost 9, +8
Q4 - won 8, lost 8, drawn 2, - 8
What is amazing looking at that is how there is a decline quarter to quarter. Smarter people then me would know why.
"They'll [Gold Coast] probably pick the land of the giants this week up in their forward line. That's their business," Fagan said prior to his team's main training session on Thursday morning.
“I want to keep it pretty simple.
"If you try to be too creative and too smart as a coach in this game, then players get distracted, so we'll just make a couple of simple decisions about two blokes that are going to play down there this week because we've lost two.
"They'll get the job done. There's a fair chance that one of those players won't have had much experience playing in the backline.
...
Fagan said he was still waiting to confirm a timeframe on Joyce's return after he suffered a "non-displaced fracture" against Sydney on Sunday.
From Fages presser this morning:
Anyone good at riddles?
Joey playing back he played the last 3 minutes down back seems likely that we could just play short and use run out of defence with prior and McKenna coming inAnyone good at riddles?
Is a non displaced fracture less serious than a broken jaw or a displaced fracture noting I’ve no clue about these things hence possibly the numpty question?From Fages presser this morning:

A broken jaw is a fracture, then it's just the severity - non-displaced means it's broken but it doesn't need to be re-set or re-aligned, i.e. via surgery. Displaced means it's broken and it needs to be re-set or re-aligned to heal properly, which is worse and requires more recovery.Is a non displaced fracture less serious than a broken jaw or a displaced fracture noting I’ve no clue about these things hence possibly the numpty question?
Yes I like this logic. Morris in, Prior for Joyce. Fort I'm not sure about... Maybe give Henry anther go... against a lesser opponent... He might step up.Also looking at our quarter stats after 18 games, I wonder if we go all out in the first quarter to get a healthy lead; therefore playing Hipwood forward and keeping our forward line as its always been and then making adjustments thereafter:
