The Charlie matchup is tough. Hibbo was excellent last time but it would be good for Hunt to get a crack. Glad we'll likely have both. 

Prefer Hibberd

So does that mean he has stayed behind?

Absolutely no idea. It does mean I am spending to much time on social when I should be working

I'm sure Hibbo will get the first crack at him

Trac posted on insta from the plane 1 hour ago. Harmes posted 1 hour ago about the gym he goes to and 10 mins ago about hannebury retirement. That's all I got.surely some demonlanders /airport workers have some Intel!!

That's better!

Did trac sound confident in his posting?

Can you do that in aeroplane mode?

Casey plays Brisbane as well so the entire squad is heading north. IMO the only player out of form is Spurge and his moments on the wing have not been his finest. He could make way for Harmes, but if Harmes was a planned in why did he play 4 quarters Sunday in that slog?

Ideally, I would like another tall forward marking option but who do they replace? Brisbane has already flagged that they plan to be aggressive at the contest and expect Mathieson to be crude and aggressive, probably to Clarry.

I am sure he will play but couldn't help but notice how heavily strapped Max's knee was in the training photos.

1 change at the most, swap Harmes and Spargo.

You and me both.

I wonder if there has ever been any thought to playing Joel Smith as a mobile ruckman at some stage. He is only 192cms.. but almighty leap, athletic, quick.

Just thinking out loud, seeing Finlayson play really good footy as a mobile link ruckman.

It seems like there are far fewer whispers about selection this season.

This is completely made up, so please ignore.

I have heard Weed is chance of being selected this week.  

I was on the plane & didn't notice weid. But could have just not seen him

He can be easy to miss

I spoke to my crystal ball and it told me tonight Goody will pull a massive surprise and announce a grand total of 0 changes. 

This talk about blooding JVR for this week’s match (and any game this year) is just insanity to me. 

We need cool, calm heads, and don’t need the distraction of a kid figuring it all out for the first time. 

Cannot wait to see what he delivers next year, but if anybody “new” has to come into the forward line this season I would much prefer Joel Smith.

Hibberd was written off by more than a few on this site early in the season.

He missed a few games due to injury early on which has been a huge factor in our unsettled defence this year.....Salem.. Petty...Lever in then out....Bowie. nay has missed a few games from injuries and the worst of all fighting with a team mate.

You cant constantly have players muss 2 to6 games come up through the 2s and be their best.

Even supergit superstars take time to get back to par...the speed...endurance and recovery.

Anyway he has been very good since returning and proven it's not just older fwds that can offer a lot.

He's quick for his size with great closing speed...a good puncher( at the BALL) and gutsy.

Hope he gets Cameron and completely Hibberds Him.

As for Milkshake I had written him off as had many others.

And in all fairness it seemed right.

2 tp 3 years ago he would burst through the middle of the ground much faster than last year. 

He may not be as fast but he seems a lot stronger.  He's also good and smart with his disposal.

Well he was lat week and it's his clearly his best game in 3 years I reckon.

Don't know where that form has been and I don't care as long as keeps bringing it.

Stay hungry Milk and even angry if it keeps you playing like that.

It was Fritatesque like. And in a side who has seen a few its fwds struggle or injured what a great time to play like that.

T Mac (Rooter senior) will be a surprise inclusion (opinion)

Me too but I can't say who for.

Bbb has been poor but picked up at the end of the game And we know what he can do up fwd compared to Joel.

I just hope he starts doing it.

I think your own reasoning applies somewhat to soss...mfc version.

BBB hasn't been poor. He's playing a lone hand as a tall forward and is performing his role.

Not long now
