Preview / changes V Brisbane

[rammbo]

your are certainly intitled to your view but imo houli's 'softness' is overstated, which im not suggesting he hard as nails, but to rate maric the same imo is absolutely clueless. the'res more hardnes in a turd than maric. soft as butter.

Head to head i agree but you dont understand my ranking system.

 

[Bird Man]

apparently astbury is a big chance

From the Tiges site.

At August 1, 2012
Ben Griffiths (leg) Test
Jake Batchelor (knee) 1 week
Matt Arnot (hamstring) 2-3 weeks
Dylan Grimes (hamstring) Indefinite
Nathan Foley (heel) Season
Ty Vickery (shoulder) Season

No Morris or Astbury and Griff a test.

Well very simple, if he's fit and available there is no reason at all why he shouldn't play.

ok mate but unless you state it it came across as this.

So the fractured skull report was false ????

 

[WATIGE]

So the fractured skull report was false ????

Jab to the eye that he went to hospital to have reviewed. Came through OK apparently - see Coburg report.

So the fractured skull report was false ????

The fitness guy stated is was just a badly bruised eye, was some concern on the day.

 

[peejay]

ok - i was looking forward to see if he was going to wear a jason dunstall style fractured skull helmut !!!

Honestly wouldn't be surprised to see Helbig or Astbury playing this weekend given the talking up I've seen in the media the last few weeks. Griffiths and White are both available. Astbury and Helbig might be competing for a spot.

Maybe:
McGuane <> Griffiths (forward or rotating with Post)
A.Maric <> White
Moore <> Helbig
O'Hanlon <> Astbury

With either Helbig or Astbury to sub. Otherwise possibly Dea out to rest, play both Helbig and Astbury and make Elton sub to try him out again.

Good point, ignore that line, Moore for Astbury or Helbig

 

[UpTheGuts]

Tony Shaw special comments for Saturday night's game. Urrrggghhhhh

 

[Grockadoc]

If Griff is back, I wouldn't mind seeing a lineup like this. Probably not the greatest team, but I reckon we should give Todd Elton a go.

B: Newman, Rance, Morris
HB: Houli, Griffiths, Dea
C: Grigg, Cotchin, Deledio
HF: Martin, Post, Nahas
F: Elton, Riewoldt, King
R: Maric, Conca, Tuck

INT: Ellis, Jackson, Edwards
SUB: O'Hanlon/White

IN: Elton, Griffiths, White/O'Hanlon
OUT: Moore, McGuane, A. Maric

 

[tunksy]

Post, Rance and Griff as the talls in the back line.

 

[_RT_]

Out: Dea Moore Maric (all omit)
In: Helbig Griffiths White

B: Post Rance Morris
HB: Houli Newman Ellis
C: Deledio Cotchin Grigg
HF: Jackson Edwards Martin
F: Nahas Riewoldt McGuane
R: Maric Conca Tuck
INT White King Griffiths Helbig
EMG: Graham Dea O'Hanlon
Umpires: Findlay Mitchell Fila

 

[Bazzar]

Good ins.

Hope White can finish the year strong. Most hate him, but i think he is one of our best bottom tier players especially with his elite speed and endurance and a great kick on the run.
