​

Write your own previews, margins, changes.

Go get 'em.

C'arn you mighty Blues!

​

 

[Arr0w]

Write up later, but get on board, we will spank em

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Out: McKay (inj), Martin (susp)

In: Silvagni (if fit), Motlop

Hollands on standby for Acres

Kennedy or Hollands - Sub.

 

[james Dean]

Sos has to come in for McKay.

Martin will be suspended so Motlop can start.

Kennedy as the sub

 

[Zlatan]

Out: Martin (susp), McKay (inj but should drop him regardless)

In: JSOS / Kennedy as third tall, Motlop

Sorry but we cannot carry a player like Harry. Confidence is 0, can’t contest, can’t kick goals

 

[BlueTongue]

Jesus Blakey played his guts out. He kept them in the game. Would love to poach.

 

[kreuze_missile]

Three more wins

 

[Rustica]

Not sure Martin misses.. misses the ball trying to punch and collects the lizard instead

It was a bit of a round arm. I can't see him escaping.

 

[jj1978]

Out: Martin, Harry, Motlop
In: Kennedy, Dow, Hollands

Kennedy to take Martens role and play forward potentially rotating with Cripps. The burst of Dow against Melbourne will be handy and Holland’s run will help.

 

[Bletch]

Jesus Blakey played his guts out. He kept them in the game. Would love to poach.

Would love McLean too.

 

[Red_man2008]

Im a Tasmanian high school teacher and I need some help buying tickets next week. I’ve got two membership numbers, but need help buying the tickets as it’s impossible to buy while im on class.

 

[JuddgementDay]

Out: McKay (inj), Martin (susp)

In: Silvagni (if fit), Kennedy

Motlop sub (or maybe Dow/ Hollands)

 

[F_therest]

Out: McKay (inj), Martin (susp)

In: Silvagni (if fit), Motlop

Hollands on standby for Acres

Kennedy or Hollands - Sub.

Geez our marking power up forward looks like it will be poor...and we are up against May and Lever.

Hope JSOS is fit to fill the void. He deserves to play a final for Carlton too.

 

[Arr0w]

We might drop a tall back depending Demons structure

 

[Revenant1965]

Not sure of 'ins' and 'outs', and will wait until MRO for Martin, and injury reports. Either way, it'll be a tough game, but hopefully a good one.

 

[ctwenty1]

what are the Hun actually on about

It’s a ******* blockbuster- no semi about it

 

[Arr0w]

We might drop a tall back depending Demons structure

Actually, we might swing one forward

Can't see Jsos getting up

 

[The Bighouse]

Out: McKay (inj), Martin (susp)

In: Silvagni (if fit), Motlop

Hollands on standby for Acres

Kennedy or Hollands - Sub.

No to Motlop.

 

[The Bighouse]

Flights & hotel booked for a FIFO finals event. Need to score a ticket (x 1).

 

[myblueroan]

Out: Martin (susp), McKay (inj but should drop him regardless)

In: JSOS / Kennedy as third tall, Motlop

Sorry but we cannot carry a player like Harry. Confidence is 0, can’t contest, can’t kick goals

I feel really confident Harry will get through the goal yips. He still does a lot for us and helps structure. I reckon he is on the verge of getting back to his best. I hope he'll be ok to play against Dees.
Confident we'll be ok without him too. If we have to be.

Kemp…?

No chance for next week, 12 days by the looks.

Played a fair portion of our 9-game streak without H, doubt we'll do anything too different.

 

[The Bighouse]

Not sure of 'ins' and 'outs', and will wait until MRO for Martin, and injury reports. Either way, it'll be a tough game, but hopefully a good one.

Martin’s the big call, especially being minus H.
Jon Ralph seems adamant he’ll go.
