Hmmmm
Laird just has to be the sub, he was very lucky to keep his spot this week and would have been last man selected.
Thommo is definitely out, just announced in the SANFL game. No replacement named yet though

Sooooo thommo is out but m.crouch is playing sanfl today?? Why the hell isn't he the direct replacement for thommo!?

Because we took Grigg and Lyons and whoever plays will most likely be the sub.

In that case let is please be Grigg, because Lyons is just not an impact player as the sub.
In any case, hopefully we see the crouch bro's together soon
re-watch the game agst port
I think he will tag
Tag who? Pendles? That would be brutal !

Would struggle to tag anyone tall. Pendles would kill him.
If Thommo is out, I hope to Christ they give Lyons a full game in the middle.

Fat chance of that. Why would they change their tune re Lyons now?

I think this might be the right call. Lyons in the same game last year was outstanding kicking 4 goals and being one of the Crows best players. Only 4 goal kickers last year with Lynch 4, Lyons 4, Porplyzia 3 and Douglas 1... Hoping to see a more even contribution now with Betts, Walker, and Pods added to that forward structure.
Also Swan (31 possessions and 2 goals), Luke Ball (30 possessions and a goal) are big losses through that midfield

I agree. You need to be able to run well to play on the MCG as well, lyons will struggle on the big ground if played in the middle. Although he did kick 4 as a forward last year, so you never know

which one? Presumably you're not talking about last years game when he put on one of the best sub displays the league has seen since the its introduction?

So just rotate him with likes of Douglas & Wright through midfield & forward line.
Probably sub though.

Depends whether Smith plays back or in the midfield.
Btw. Would prefer Smith than Laird on pendles as has the height & class to match

With the Suns getting demolished and with North going down, this match is now the biggest of the season so far for us. If we can win this, we are in the box seat to play finals footy and if we can knock off North in round 22, a home final is up for grabs. We need to win this first though and I am as nervous as *.
Me too! Our team has teased us enough this year. Time to deliver on the promise. We should win this easily, but we've been so inconsistent this year that it'll be a case of sweaty palms all game.
I tipped Brisbane for a win and with the head, not heart.

Thompson out certainly helps Collingwood that extra bit now. Unfortunate for him as he stops on 99 games consecutive. Add the fact in he's one of our best players.
Just the type of game we haven't showed up for all year. Must turn it around here or questions have to be asked. Have to come out like a bull at a gate from the first bounce, not suddenly realise we're in the middle of a footy game at half time.

Caught the same plane as the players!
Very exciting. I got 19/23 autographs, a pic with Sloane and Tex, got to chat to Sando for 15 minutes about my thoughts on selection and got the whole plane to sing Pride of South Australia on the way in to Melbourne.
Ok, I didn't do any of those things.
