[Worm4]

No one giving us a chance pretty much like the 1999 prelim. Football world heaping a lot of pressure onto Brisbane .
It's grouse

 

[Worm4]

I do not fear the Lions

If it bleeds brother , if it bleeds...

 

[Blue4Life]

Think Kennedy and Cunningham for McKay and Martin is a given but I’d swap marchbank for Boyd…marchbank does some good things but does some really bad things aswell…Boyd has leg speed which I think we are lacking with weitering, kemp and McGovern playing tall already…hewett for Dow would add more speed aswell but can’t see that happening

 

[Accidental genius]

For whatever reason Cunners doesn’t seem to be able to play with the same elevated intensity as the rest of the team.

Also he’s not kicking goals.

Considering he was dragged against dees wondering if he is selected against lions.

Maybe With Martin returning cunners could be more effective.

Thought Kennedy battled hard and scored a great goal. He’s not as silky but is prepared to put his body on the line time and time again.

 

[Arr0w]

Some very good players will miss this week, I guess it's a great sign of the talent we have on our list at the moment

Got dragged a few weeks back.. he’s not damaging enough atm to carry for his minimal disposals.

 

[Revenant1965]

Two Capital cities done, one to go, then that suburban side...

 

[ozzz]

Team is in form, best 22 available for selection, battle-hardened by multiple elimination games in succession.

Getting all our ducks in a row at the right time of the season me thinx.

 

[Ald Gardiner]

Hope weitering is OK?
Looked a strange stumble early in the last

His intercept mark off Viney and resultant kick to Ollie leads me to think yes..

 

[reubsblues]

So McKay and Martin are certainties to come in
Marchbank has to go for Boyd or Fisher
We can't go in with a tall backline against all Brisbane's smalls
So im going with
In. McKay Martin and Boyd/Fisher
Out. Cunningham, Marchbank, Kennedy/Hewett

l don't see Fisher coming back in, Boyd also highly unlikely.
Mckay & Martin for Cunningham and Kennedy.
Brisbane have three tall options up forward so Marchbank will stay.

We need Marchbank next week. He might even have to play on hipwood. Tough ask but I think that its a bridge too far for Kemp at the moment.

Watch Voss' press conference from Thursday. We are ott changing our defence unless we have to.

George Hewett played on Oliver for a lotof the night. Laughable to think that Dow could do that. Like it or jot it would seem that paddy dow has played his last game for the club. Absolutely made sense to give Hollands a taste of the finals last night. You don't cut off your nose to spite your face but if it is a toss of the coin you always play the player that will be at your club for the next 10 years.

 

[LemmingMaster]

Need to watch the replay, but not sure Kennedy comes out, thought he had some huge moments

Just feels too slow for me, not sure he's a natural forward. I'd prefer the pressure of Fog and speed of Cunners.

 

[Sin City]

Surely we don’t play four tall defenders for this game. They only have Daniher and Hipwood but have smalls like Cameron, Rayner, McCarthy and Bailey. Could get slaughtered on the ground if we go in too tall.

Gov might have to play on a Rayner or McCarthy.

 

[Red Bull]

To the Gabba !!

 

[TerryWallet]

Queries on Acres and Doc. But although badly banged, will probably play. You never know though. If they do get up to play then i reckon it will be just the 2 changes.

Out: Cuningham and Kennedy.

Cuners decision is very easy. He can only tease so long. And Vossy said "enough of this" in the last Q.
Kennedy is not match fit. When he had that shot for goal last night i confidently said to myself "you'll kick this, you're a real footballer", and he duly split the middle. But him and Tom McDonald

just looked so un AFL Final match fit. He played because we really needed him to. But Jack and Harry back, we don't this week. Vossy will hate dropping one of his favorites, but pretty easy in the end. Especially on the fast Gabba deck.

Of course the players and coach won't be thinking this, but all the pressure is off as a supporter. I'm prepared for another superb gutsy fighting win, but also prepared for a "banged up, end of massive 15 week run let down" on the fast Gabba track that doesn't suit us.

 

[4flagsin5yrs]

Marchbank continually found himself in the right position last night then butchered it. Dropping marks, spoiling, team mates. That’s better than being being anonymous I guess but was poor.

He was worse than putrid last night, but he wasn't alone...

Some of the skill errors in Q3 were extraordinary.

 

[Kramer1]

Think Kennedy and Cunningham for McKay and Martin is a given but I’d swap marchbank for Boyd…marchbank does some good things but does some really bad things aswell…Boyd has leg speed which I think we are lacking with weitering, kemp and McGovern playing tall already…hewett for Dow would add more speed aswell but can’t see that happening

Just watched the first of many last quarter replays.

Marchy is being crucified on here. Did a number of important things when the whips were cracking.

McGovern praised despite two god awful direct turnovers in the last. Cardiac material.

 

[Benaly28]

Need to inject some speed some players look banged up only Certs at this stage are the ins.

Cunningham has a bad habit of kicking the ball too high to a team mate and it's gives oppo players time to spoil due to his hang time. He needs to get that out of his game

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

Would like to see Boyd in to take one of McCarthy, Cameron or Bailey. Going to be bloody tough going next week.

 

[THEYSEEMEROLLIN]

2 more. Say it all with me…..2 more!!!!

 

[teagueyubeauty]

Would like to see Boyd in to take one of McCarthy, Cameron or Bailey. Going to be bloody tough going next week.

Would love Boyd in but he hasn’t played for so long thanks to that fkwit Christian, it would be a big risk but I reckon it’s a definite live option that will be seriously discussed at selection.

I feel we have it covered though, Saad to CC, Cinc to Bailey, Gov to McCarthy with Doc as an alternative.

When we bring the heat and force them to dump kick forward we will have a massive advantage, need to be burying those intercept marks a lot better than we did some of last night

Just praying Doc gets up for it.

After what he's been through no one on our list deserves it more
