Outside run comes from Hunt (needs to be freed up from half back), I think Brayshaw is capable gets to the right areas.

In - Brayshaw, Hannan, Weideman

Out - Salem, Pedersen, Harmes or Maynard

Salem needs to go back to Casey to work on his competitiveness and ability to win a hard ball. He's a protected species around here and has had more ordinary games than good ones this year. An over-rated pick 9 who has a nice left shoe.

If Weed fails this week, then perhaps we close the season with a smaller fwd line. Pedo is once again out of form and probably won't be seen again this year.

Out: Watts (carrying injuries), Oscar McDonald, Maynard (unlucky), Harmes

In: Weeds, Hannan, Stretch, JKH

FB: Jetta   Frost   Hibberd
HB: Salem Tom Mc  Vince
C: Stretch   Viney   Jones
HF: Hannan  Pedersen  ANB
FF: Garlett  Weeds   Petracca
Foll: Gawn  Oliver  Tyson
Int: Hunt  Lewis   Melksham  JKH

Time for Tom McDonald to go back for one last game against Riewoldt. Fresh legs in on the wings and half forward. Big jobs for Weeds and Pedda to do but they've played together at Casey quite a bit and they might thrive with responsibility.

I think if we were to move TMac back, I'd move Frost out rather than OMac. I like Frost's pace but if there isn't a more frightening user of the ball in our side.

We can bring in the whole Casey team against Brisbane if we get done this week.

Bringing  Brayshaw in this week doesn't seem too crazy in my opinion, it's not like we need to save him for anything, he has returned for a few games and confidence seems to be there as evident by his numbers in the VFL. We just need some refreshment and he could provide it.

Apart from Gus, Hannan is the only other player with a touch of class available.

 

The Football Department has used words like 'it's a matter of Gus finding confidence again' and 'needs to change the way he attacks the ball' when talking about Brayshaw.

It would be absolutely crazy to let him to find his feet back at AFL level in an Elimination Final.

I'd rather play a battler like Harmes who will crack in 100% over a slightly more skilful guy (Brayshaw is far from proving any class at the top level) that is second guessing which way to attack the ball, and hasn't played at AFL tempo, let alone "finals tempo", for 4 months.

This was on AFL website

This was on AfL website, maybe get a few more than we expect:

Melbourne and the MCC have given away 20,000 tickets to the game to various schools and multicultural communities

They named it the Welcome Game.

Lets hope we welcome the step closer to finals rather than welcoming the national draft and trade period.

I thought I heard on the radio before N Reiwoldt in doubt, waiting on concussion test. Can anyone verify this?

so with Milkshake ok and Salem looking good to play.... no changes?  let them redeem themselves?  if you drop players from poor efforts there wouldn't be many on the ground on sunday

Maybe Weed for the Peed?

No no no no no no no

Are you just making stuff up now? Or have I missed something?

Hasn't been great since returning from injury

I think Hunts form has been worse than that of Salem. Probably sore and tired. Might need a rest like Hannan.

Maybe a strained heart string 

Thankfully the game wasn't on free to air and I saw no vision.  BUT how can Garlett have one kick and two handpasses?   Really!  How! Was he running away?  One of the three disposals was effective. How can he be up for selection?

And take ten marks and kick 4 goals.

He was woeful, but I'd guess that he's up for selection because he's kicked 37 goals for the season, which makes him our leading goal kicker and most dangerous forward by a long way.

A rather sad indictment of our team really. No wonder our % is rubbish.

I can assure all posters that there are no "fresh legs" available from the players who played with Casey.  We were down from 5 to 2 on the bench for the best part of 3 quarters in a very intense game.  JKH, Gus, Billy and BK will all need full recovery time.  The only "fresh legs" are Hannan and Wagner.

What I've noticed about Garlett is that if he's in the game early with a goal or a few touches then he's away. If not then he can struggle to impact. Very much a confidence player.

I'd go

out: Pedo 

In: hannan

if we make finals we really need a similar team out on the park every week. 

Too many changes every week is dangerous I believe. For me, Trac plays his best footy in the forward line. His a great mark and just so dangerous around goals. Him and melks can rotate thru the middle with Trac playing 70%-80% forward
