[1990crow]

Out: Murray/Keane (depends on Keane's MRO), Bond, Taylor
In: Butts, Rachele, Dowling

Smith to stay sub.

MRO?

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

MRO?

Elbowed Sidebottom in the head.

 

[dani_giuls]

Keane and who else?

Worrell was the one they were talking about on social media - though the commentators said it was a light hit and looked like both players were genuinely going for the ball

 

[n4sir]

There's no way we can select 9 defenders again

 

[cleanhands]

Out: Bond, Taylor
In: Rachele, Dowling

Send Michalanney back

Rachelle and people think max looked rusty

 

[Geoffa32]

Smithers out, Dowling in.

Hinge sub.

MM will be better. He looked like a guy coming back from a long time off...rusty.


BTW
There is no way Rankine should play in the GF. IF we make it.

Worrell's was definitely a correct free kick against him, but nothing more.

Keane swung at air but there was also clear intent, so will be in trouble.

De Goey for Collingwood will also be in trouble.

Hinge sub.

1) We aren’t making the Grand Final.
2) Youd be ****ing crazy not to play him if we make it by some miracle

 

[TRP1996]

Out: hope, care factor, the spark of joy in my heart.
In: I'm a Brisbane supporter now. Keen to see my team go back-to-back!

Lucky the club won't even get a chance to take you up on this crappy suggestion.

 

[Geoffa32]

1) We aren’t making the Grand Final.

Yep we ain't making it.

I can't see him being physically and emotionally able to play.

Playing underdone players in key Finals often ends bad.

Going turncoat isn't something to brag about.

 

[Mr_Moogle]

I’m trying to work out what’s more absurd. The suggestion we might make the Grand Final or the suggestion we don’t play Rankine if we somehow make it lol

I think he's posting drunk.

 

[TRP1996]

Going turncoat isn't something to brag about.

I'm joking.

 

[Owen_AFC97]

He’s not coming back from injury and has played the majority of the season. Fitness should not be an issue if the club does their due diligence from here. The chance of us making is gone after tonight.

Not sure if serious.

Watch degoey get off

 

[Geoffa32]

I think he's posting drunk.

Michalanney looked match fit tonight?


Now imagine how rusty Rankine will be after effectively 6 weeks off and the shit he has gone through in the media.


Same with Rachele next week. People think these guys with zero Finals experience can turn it on at that level with no match fitness?



It is academic though...

 

[TheRoo32]

Not that it will ever be a decision to make but...

If we did happen to stumble into the GF, there is a 1000% chance Rankine plays.

The issue we’ve got is Collingwood just gave the Giants and Hawks the blue print to beat us.

Pressure the **** out of us and we will hack it to their spare defenders.

Take the game on with run and put our defenders under pressure.

I can easily see this being a straight sets, our players would be scarred after that.

At least that should result in HinkleyLite not getting re-signed over summer.

 

[Tex Danger]

Lucky the club won't even get a chance to take you up on this crappy suggestion.

Rankine more chance of being forced to miss rd 1 at this rate than he is to play a grand final. Thats a bit sad

But absolutely any suggestion from anyone that he shouldn’t play if we make it is garbage.

 

[hodra]

In: Rachele, Butts, Cook (sub)
Out: Bond, Murray, Smith

 

[George CantStandYa]

And we’ve got no mids we can call on, we have to recruit some more mids.

 

[n4sir]

Not sure if serious.

Needs this for maximum impact.
