So looking at the team's in/out excluding what position they have been named in

Robertson in for Prior
Payne in for McStay
That's how i recon it will pan out position wise

The second issue is we may have some late outs and inclusions
If that happens it will likely be a defender and that is covered

Prefer someone other than Mathieson this week as medical sub
Who ever it is i hope they don't get to play
 
Am I seriously the only one that thinks these changes are perfect?
I knew there would be minimal changes, that's what we do but I'm genuinely surprised that Ah Chee is not in the side, both Damien Austin and Chris Fagan said he was good to go for selection this game.... ditto for Lester but I'm not as surprised about his non selection.
 
Daniher will need to play a career best to win. Relying on a back and fullarton to do something is a stretch. Through Froggy was a guarantee as well.

?

I've penciled in a six goal win in this game.

Am I in the minority?

The dogs got off to a flyer this year, but their second half of the year was no better than ours.

Even without McStay I still think we have a better structure than they do.

We play well at the Gabba. Since the start of the 2020 season we've lost there twice.

Big O will dominate !!!

Looking forward to him smashing hitouts into our forward 50 from the centre bounces Clark Keating style & our much improved forward pressure from last week holding the ball in our forward 50 resulting in lots of goals from our flea brigade.

Lock it in.

I'm fine with them. It's pretty much what I expected aside from Lester being in. Didn't think Ah Chee was going to be fit but if he's fit enough to be an E he should be in the side imo. The Es and players with questionable fitness just make me think we'll see late changes.

Fagan never said that.

He told us they (Froggy and Cal) were likely to play but needed to go through one last training session today. They're probably giving him maximum time before making a final call.

You're forgetting Charlie and our other small forwards. We average around 10 goal kickers per game. Daniher doesn't have to carry the forward line and kick 7 goals.

I'd probably have brought in Cal for Nakia, but otherwise I thought the changes were spot on.

I could be wrong, I am an elderly gentleman with memory issues but I would have sworn I heard in one of his interviews that he was good to go... may have only been Austin who said that.
 
No as a forward- Payne can give O relief for 5 minutes a 1/4 when Young is rucking. What have you seen Fullerton offer that helps us win?

He played a couple of good games since coming in. Before last week we were averaging well over 100 so we seem to be scoring pretty well with him in the team.

Was better than Cockatoo last week and about as good as Linc

Yeah, perhaps. I listened to Fages speak on SEN last night and he mentioned it twice.
 
The difference between winning and losing is often down to how well a teams bottom 6 plays. Fullarton is easily the worst player in the side. Compare that to probably Schache at the dogs who is probably their worst player and he has been making a solid contribution.

Fagan mentioned in his presser that we can’t have passengers and that’s exactly what he has been the past few weeks.
You didn’t happen to see Schaches game a couple of weeks back against the dons? Peter Wright… yes you heard correctly… kicked 7 on him and then he was dropped the following week and was medical sub the week after! He was a very very late in for the final and had a solid game. I would hardly say he has been making a solid contribution other than last week

And even last week, one of the umps was above him in the best 22 ;)
 
I think all Cocky saw last week was McStays blood on his hands.(Knee) Must of been bad for him.
Need to work on the ball going in better.
For some reason I think we can win now.. been 50-50 all week
Happy with Dev in

Hope Tommy has a great game 3 goals..
You say late in Lester for either Andrews or Gardiner.
