'Calf'. Interesting...

edit: We only have 3 'genuine' forwards now, all 3 are talls.

'Calf'. Interesting...

I think it's reasonable to assume he's not 100%, but it's likewise reasonable to assume the 'calf' has been there for a couple of weeks.

Also good to see Mick's knee didn't jerk re: Macaffer and he has rightfully retained his spot.

 

[Muse]

I would of rathered Nath in for this week and Reidy in for next but beggers can't be choosers, still looks like a solid side.

I guess Mick Really Like the Caff as in my Mind has done nothing really special to keep his spot in the 22

 

[Optimax]

Happy enough with those changes

I would have dropped wood for fraser too, but we'll see how it goes

 

[Keele]

Last week or this season?

 

[mattys123]

PRESTI'S BACK, THAT IS ALL I WANTED TO SEE.

Seriously, Jack and Presti had to play this week, we might have got close to Geelong if they had of played last week.

Time to chance the sig, he's been sighted.

I guess Mick Really Like the Caff as in my Mind has done nothing really special to keep his spot in the 22

He kept Chappy reasonably quiet last week, did his job.

Fairly happy with that team, i think Brown and Presti would have been a better combo for playing on Fev and Brown, but oh well. Reid has been doing a good job.

I wonder if Leon actually has a calf, or they are using it as an excuse for his shit form.

Should have been dropped.
Can't kick in this game, you shouldn't be playing.

 

[Sloth]

Glad Dawes is still there....I think the combination of Dawes, Cloke and Anthony will be fairly potent

 

[the_fresh]

Funny how a few weeks ago everyone was calling for Wood over Fraser.

IMO both are as bad as each other, but Wood has more upside.

 

[pieman123]

eww Obree is still in the side, hopefully a late change for Lockyer

 

[TradeDraft]

Me Too. Deserves more Chances

 

[Old Spice]

Think that's good. Rambo was pretty ordinary last week and Leon is unfit.

Cafs had a good season and Wood shows glimpses. Thought he was okay with handballs in close last week.

Not a dynamo, but worth perservering.

 

[Optimax]

Funny how a few weeks ago everyone was calling for Wood over Fraser.

IMO both are as bad as each other, but Wood has more upside.

I'm happy for the fittest and most in form to play

After last week and the previous, Wood has no form, so i wanted fraser in. He is skating on thin ice selection wise anyway i presume

 

[sunnyTEE]

Hopefully it doesn't rain.

 

[daics_35]

Reid should have gone out instead of Brown. Macaffer is a very lucky man, I wouldnt mind a late change in Obree out for Barahm apart from that the teams are good.

 

[Histrionics]

Pretty happy with this side.

Geez if Dick was match fit we could really use him now with no Medders or Davis.

 

[Paddywhackers]

I would of rathered Nath in for this week and Reidy in for next but beggers can't be choosers, still looks like a solid side.

Reid was very good against the Cats. He deserved to be retained. Lets hope O'Bree is a late withdrawell for action Jaxson.

 

[DaisysHair]

True that. Plus I don't think Josh's knee could cope with the hard Gabba surface.

Rain won't worry us, although we are tall, we have some of the best wet weather players in the game. (Ball, Thomas, Didak, Pendles, Shaw, Maxwell).

We will win now, even if Brisbane push us, that side is near perfect, with MaCaffer the only "questionable" call, but maybe their wasn't a similar replacement for him at the moment.

 

[PieBeast]

Happy with that.
Jack to kick a bag.
