According to mmm James will be a late change tonight. Huge loss I reckon as he is the stable one down back. So who should we bring in. Pettard, Tappscott and Fitzpatrick are our emergencies. Maybe Pettard can come in and Watts can play back.

This will put pressure on Rivers now and Joel macdonald will really have to stand up.

This makes some sense. nick48 on O'logy who attended training for a short sharp session yesterday stated Frawley unusually finished doing some laps. Hinted that something may be amiss with him.

That's all I've got.

From Demonology yesterday

Nick48 - Frawley – trained, ended by doing laps on his own.

IRW- Are you implying that Frawley is carrying a niggle?

Nick48 - it might be nothing - just thought it a bit odd at the time - he's named so maybe nothing.

Not really perfect. So Sylvia will be our tall target up forward?

Maybe not having a tall target up front will force our mids to lower their eyes and aim for a leading forward such as Petterd, Sylvia or Howe.

Agree with that, but wouldn't it be better for Watts to be taking that opportunity too seeing we want him to be a forward and not a KPB?

I always thought Fitzpatrick was to come in with that side.

Now 'if' Frawley is out, guess who'll likely play back, as hinted at these past few days. I reckon anyway.

Frawley and Clark are our two most important players IMO. They are the rock of the forward and backlines, the strong bodies, the confidence, the generals. Having them both out this week will be disastrous!

You're kidding arent you?? Cant see a match up for Frawley!! Doh!

Perfect opportunity for Watts to play down back. Neeld hinted as much the other day too.

Source....

Neeld in a presser this week said he would play forward and wing....

A scary thought indeed. Now we'll have no forward to not deliver too... Rivers will have a tall order...

I heard Mitch Clark is out there? Can anyone confirm?

Yeah, I heard that too... Three quarter time break at GWS game, it was mentioned. But if he wasn't named in the original side, how can that be?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the
