huh? lollll bit touchy there mate?

its far easier to win games when your missing players if your oppo is also missing players, fairly easy concept i would have thought?

If by that you mean Sidebottom and Howe, then I don't know what our injury run is classified as.

 

[11kgm]

We had no Zerrit, Heppell, McKenna, Ambrose, Francis, Cutler

 

[Albertross]

how many they allowing at ground?

State Gov allows half stadium capacity, so for Metricon, that's probably 12k - 13k. Don't know if AFL released that many though.

Sort of like getting to play Geelong without Hawkins in a prelim final.

Last week we won with 3 All Australian/Best and Fairest winners out of the side, but anyway.

Sought of like getting to play Geelong without Hawkins in a prelim final.

sought of like our 5 x AA (in a row) and vice captain full back being out

You were referring to key players coming out before the game. Rance doesn’t fit that bill.

Reckon it's a good week for zerk

Hooker can camp fwd to provide a target

Of all key fwds I reckon brown is perfect for zerk, doseht use bulk like a traditional fwd who could trouble zerk in that facet. He is agile enough to stay with him and get an arm in on browns leads (only way he scores)

Woosha confirming Stewart won’t be selected this week, it will be Francis or Hooker forward.

Did he confirm we were definitely bringing in a tall?

No just that they where discussing their options.

Both hooker or Francis risk letting the ball rebound out at pace. Stringer was essential to that lock it in fwd game. It'll be an interesting call

Francis is a pretty good tackler and his endurance has improved since the last time he played forward so expect him to do better in that regard compared to Hooker.

Thought it was interesting that he said Daniher won’t play this week but that’s as much information as they could give.

Sounds like his return is imminent.

It’s a tough call. Stringer has been hitting up at the footy from FF really well we don’t really have a good replacement for that style of player.

It’s a real pity for Stewart that he got put in isolation as he’s someone I want to see given an opportunity.

Ive also been in the Hooker forward camp for a while but North’s ball movement has been fairly poor allowing the slower stronger KPD to beat Brown who is at his best on a lead.

I think I’d be going with the simple In McKenna, Merrett Out: Zaharakis, Stringer. Try and get by for a week with Mckernan, Laverde and Townsend as the 3 marking options.

Nobody mentioned tbell fwd....that will blindside us

I’m worried about it being a real possibility.

Maybe I’m looking through rose tinted glasses atm but Stewart, Draper, BZT, Francis, Cahill, McKenna is a fairly exciting list of players who are fit and outside the team who faced Collingwood.

 

[less than zero]

I've just booked my tickets yay so happy! Now we just have to leave a bit earlier to get across the NSW/Queensland border checkpoint.
Go Bombers!
