Clever giving the Murphster an extra break before finals.

I know we’re dismayed to see him out of the side, but his 25-possession 3-goal average across the finals series will justify the rest.
 
How annoying that it takes us losing Rankine to go Uh oh, we better get some good players in

Murphy doesn't cut it for us when Rankine's not doing the actual football output on his behalf.

Just giving a couple of kids a run because it’s only Norf.

Resting up Murph for finals.
 
Schoenberg unlucky.

Playing great footy in the twos and got no real time in the ones last week.
Sending a regulation 25m pass sailing into Row G right in front of the coaches' box was a poor moment for him
 
Wait a minute.... is this one of those times when we're all happy

Then on Saturday morning ANB pulls out as a precaution and one of our emergencies comes in?
No, actually guess
That’d be nankervis in the which would be ok

Nank Dowling and Draper will be going head to head for spots
 
Bond and Smith
Yeah I would’ve thought smith and Taylor not 2 defenders. I don’t see bond and max as like for like anymore. Max seems to provide more run now. I’d like to see Draper stay in over Taylor. Nice position to be in tbh though

There’s a couple weeks to work it out and form will factor in to these final spots but while completely different rankine out maybe increases the chances for bond to stay in

If Dowling/draper (even Taylor) don’t play well we could bring max in but keep bond if he’s doing the role well and end up using him/max as defensive forward

Probably too cute but depends how happy they are with bond and comfortable with that 22nd player picked as out last forward rotation

Nah, Rankine being out doesn't change a thing in regard to Bond. When the whips are cracking, and shit matters, we want Max in defense.
 
Jeez what a week!! The ups and downs.

Its like realising your fly was undone through your wedding ceremony.
But every cloud has a silver lining...... Honeymoon starts earlier:p

The selections are magnificent. Although I dont' think Sid is ready. I think he needs a proper pre season.
But Im happy he is in against North Melbourne. Their midfield is exceptional and the ideal game to test his progress.
It will be interesting to see our response and how the last few days has affected our momentum.
Before the BS hit the fan, I was worried we might take our foot off the pedal. Not likely now.
 
He's a proven big game player. Remember that time he faked a neck injury so that Dawson could take the free kick after the siren against Port? Elite.
How many times do we have to point out that there was no faking involved?
He has a metal insert in his spine.

That’s a big moment player not so much a big game player, did he do anything else that day?

Smith will be sub. Rachele in for the first final to the sub role
 
Well cannot believe the selections this week as picked on form and youth rather than favourite battler types .
Obviously Davis has had great input into team and now Nicks listening to.
Hopefully Dowling gets a good run in the middle and Draper starts on field as placings on site suggest with Smith as sub.
