I would have played Josh Carmichael instead of Jordy in the Prelim - just to be safe.

Should've played Murley instead of Nick.

Yep. With a safely selected team in the Prelim we wouldn't have had to worry about anyone getting injured and they'd all be cherry ripe for their next game in March.

I originally thought we should go with a small forward line, but in dry conditions, and with our structure disrupted, I think now it is absolutely right to have selected Frampers.
But I see his role not as forward. He is the second (second) ruck...takes centre contests and others, offers a target down the line (in other words, he plays the role of Cox or Cameron for whoever is not at that point is in the main ruck). This gives Cox and Cameron their normal rests on the bench, and both of them then can rotate forward to supply the replacement for McStay. Frampton can keep doing what he does best: ruck and just moving around the ground.
I think Ginni has to remain sub, but he can come on tactically during the 3rd for one of our triple ruck/forward group, (once McIerney has been subbed off due to dehydration).

Has nothing to do with McStay we needed another key back whether we were playing Carlton or Brisbane. Cox will play forward.
Weakened in which way? Cameron has been average we would have been better served with Cox rucking and Frampton giving a chop out. Added benefit is that we knew if we made it through that we needed an additional backman.
Clear as day they made the wrong decision at selection.
Cameron was vital to our win last week.

Where's this needed another key back come from?

Because our backline has been so poor the last few weeks

With three key backs already for Daniher and Gumby and a heap of dangerous smalls, perhaps he wants to play Frampton on Charlie Cameron?

It is certainly innovative. Frampton to pick up Cameron and throw him into the stands, WWE style
And old baldy Nicks
Cool story. Won’t be the first time I’ve argued one out with the board and been correct. You can’t double team every player in their forward line. We need somebody that has longer limbs to go with Hipwood, Murphy is not that player. We can’t afford to have Howe or Moore, or even Murphy coming in over the top every time. Brisbanes small forwards are even more damaging. They won’t let us have a free man in defence all game. This will also allow Moore to intercept more freely, and allow him to dart forward knowing there is somebody in the backline to anchor the pack.
It’s not revolutionary, many clubs play with two key backs if you haven’t noticed.
It’s a low risk proposal, Cameron hasn’t been in the best form post injury if you haven’t noticed.
Take a nap
See above post. Hipwood and Daniher are dangerous tall talls, if we need to commit Moore, Howe, Murphy to every pack contest that leaves us exposed in transition and also once the ball hits the deck…Brisbanes smalls are even more dangerous.

This is true…helped us dig in the last 6 minutes. Still think Frampton brings good rucking and versatility
I love Billy and am so happy he's got a gig. I'm not spruiking the merits or detractions of his selection. I'm just really happy for him and I trust the selection panel.
Yes he does. But his good rucking should not really be required although in warmer weather an extra ruck rotation might be handy. Versatility too…. If we play to the best of our abilities and avoid injuries then his versatility should not be required. He is an insurance selection. Possibly if all is going well he’s the one likely to be subbed off for Ginni when it’s time to add a ball player to the 22.

Obviously a long way off All Australian but could be a premiership player come Saturday evening!
Honest question - can anyone remember a big final where a team went in too tall?

Essendon 1990 PF and GF. Were run off their legs on a warm clear day.
Salmon kicked 2 in each IIRC, such a champion but the others (Somerville, Simon Madden, Van Der Haar and T & A Daniher) were caught out a lot and their team mates were caught HTB a few times (even the brilliant Derek Kickett got cornered and robbed because Madden couldn't make space).
