Lynch was available to play this week but they decided not to risk re-injury in the last 2 weeks of the season. Understandable.
He would have torn both hamstrings off the bone trying to chase our defenders. Not that he has ever chased too hard.

Talk of changes etc feels all kind of moot considering Box Hill didn't play last weekend.
Like, I'm not having a go at the various opinions on the forum.
Just pissed we didn't have the seconds run around on the weekend at the business end of the season.
It's just stupid (by AFL HQ, but unsurprising).
End of rant.
P.S. Unchanged, subject to injury and loads.
P.P.S. Is, ahem, Kozzie playing? If so, look out bahahaha.

Be relentless just like our coach's autobiography. Don't get cute with game style , no selection hubris, just play the way we usually do and pick the best available 23!!!

My choice at the selection table would be to give one player a rest. Sicily might continue to seem like a good choice for the shoulder but we don't want to flirt with form too much or get too ahead of ourselves, and a week off here and there might actually be worse for it at this point. One of Breust or Gunston to be managed to continue prioritising development, despite their good form. Give CJ another run.

Exactly, don't mess with a system, attitude or formula that has got us here....we don't stop.
That's what the pre-finals bye is for.
Reduce their training load/manage game time/sub them out in the last if the game is well beyond reach if we have to, but we can't afford to be complacent every game is a final.
zero fear of complacency etc
the message is simple. we lose we're out.

You put your gun forward in, you take your gun forward out, you disappoint your fans as you start to bottom out.
For a winning midfield, we don't have high disposal numbers, must be our efficient game style

We don’t do the cheap ones around the back or the 1-2s like the Naicos and Merretts. We kick from a mark/free quickly.
Should be a cracking game this one. Richmond are starting to get their stars back to bolster their forward line midfield and defence. If they had of kicked straighter earlier in the year they may well be knocking on the door of finals. They will come out breathing fire after we beat them last time a spoilt Dusty’s party. And we are their perennial bunnies. Make no mistake, I’m only joking.
Changes:
In: Box Hill
Out: Hawthorn

They've had a mare of a year , but on paper there is still a lot of good players in their side. Glad Lynch , Dusty and Baker aren't playing though

We also don't rely on a 1-2-3 punch and then a big gap like many others
Yep pure efficiency, get it moving fwd asap. The more circle work you do the less likely you'll have a clear option upfield.
