If we play like we did in our second last game we will. Stop getting carried away too soon.

I/C from: Young, Osborne, Taylor, Ellis, Jacobs, Thorpe, Muston

Like that bench.

Would have to be shortened to

Taylor, Young, Jacobs and ... Osbourne? Done nothing wrong, but maybe they want to give Thorpe or Muston a run.

Or did Jacobs pull up sore?

O'brian in? pretty impressive effort to be up for selection

RustyHawk · 28 Jun 2007, 19:21

Could be 2 changes.

Out: Ellis and Osborne

In: Buddy and Thorp/Muston - depends on what the brains trust wants.

Thorp could run with Reid. (Reid 6'5" mobile big man) be a good match up. Thorp is super competative. Adds height and allows Croad to move to the forward line and create even more match up problems for the magies.

The roof will be closed as per AFL policy on evening matches so ideal conditions to debute a marking CHF/CHB.

A Thorp also allows Roughie to be swung down back to add height if they need it and he (Thorp) goes forward and keeps the pies in trouble.

Muston if we want a young man who is going to bust the pie lines. Played well at the dome, likes the surface and conditions.

Ozzy will and should stay in. AC and I love him, reckon hes ready to poll his first brownlow vote.

Birchall01 · 28 Jun 2007, 20:19

Why isnt Jacobs starting in the backline? He is supposedly the general for our defence. Yet in recent games hes been a bits and pieces player, pushing forward and around the middle. Not real happy with his role at the moment. Maybe hes working back to full fitness or something.

RustyHawk,
O'Brien had his shoulder dislocated two weeks ago, against the Demons, he also hurt his ankle. I cannot believe he is playing. I hope if he does, someone gives him a BIGGGGGG hip and shoulder!!!! (mean aren't I)..hehehe...Could just be a ruse by the ever arrogant Milkshake. One never knows with him.
As far as Thorp and Muston go, do we have any injuries? If so, it has been kept very quiet.
I believe that the only change will be Franklin in for Ellis.
The others have done nothing wrong, and certainly do not deserve to be dropped, unless the match ups are not what AC wants..

I agree. Not sure what the go is with the extended bench.

Maybe someone has an injury cloud.

Don't know much about Muston, is his position CHF?

Couldn't agree more......got to have Ozzie in there for his agression and niggle.....not to mention he is currently playing pretty well
