Just arrived in Brisbane. 
 

80% humidity hit me as soon as we walked down the stairs off the Virgin flight 

(ps. Virgin - wonderful!!? What a joke !!!! - delayed 40 minutes arrival ). 
 

Dees will need good rotations through the midfield 

Having a sub will help ! 

Virgin are a disgrace these days, always delayed, bump prices up for events or school holidays.  

Hope the rest of your weekend is enjoyable

Are we/they happy with Mitch Robinson’s comments on SEN about the Petty/Zorko incident?

I think we would be. Use it as a bit of motivation along with the semi final.

Turn the heat up and Brissy will go to water.

I can only go Virgin, because they ( in the past) keep their flights.

last 4 times I have booked Jetstar. Each flight has had its time amended and one cancelled. 
both terrible

I heard a captain’s run tomorrow morning at Gosch’s. 

I've been wondering for a while, but what does the expression "Captain's run" actually mean?

Is it (1) the captain takes charge of training with no coaches present? (2) it's just the squad picked for the game including emergencies? (3) it's training like always but a shorter or lighter load? (4) any other option or combination of the above?

Viney and Hibberd are in the lounge on the way to Brisbane.

The coaches are still present and there’s more than just the squad there. I always thought it was that the captain directs this particular session. Also, it usually is a shorter, lighter load. 

[pewpewpew 738]

Tomlinson here. No sign of May. 

TMac here too.

Pretty much all these. Sort of like a 'walk through' and light hitout with minimal coaching.

Some good analysis from Leigh Montagna on Brisbanes performances in the past 6 months or so:

 

[pewpewpew 738]

Judd McVee here too so will be interesting to see whether Hibberd plays.

I highly recommend Rex!  They have good specials, give you a snack, and have some of the best on time ratings for the past few COVID years.  They only do the eastern seaboard really, but very solid service.

For example - flew up to Brissy today.  I was running late and they helped me get on board and arrived on time!

[pewpewpew 738]

Interestingly Joel Smith is here too. 

[pewpewpew 738]

James Jordon in the house. 

[jnrmac 20,058]

Brisbane last 5 games

• 54 point loss
• 71 point loss
• 13 point win
• 2 point win
• 58 point loss

Just saying

[pewpewpew 738]

Bayley Fritsch & Steven May are here

[pewpewpew 738]

I didn’t eyeball every player but Chandler is here and I didn’t see Laurie.

Yeah I thought they just did regional flights on the East side, I'd give them a go for sure!

Sad reality is Brisbane are mentally soft, they can't handle a hungry team coming at them, and they're just not that well coached. they're going to be 0-2 after this weekend, they'll beat up on enough lesser teams to play finals but they won't fire a shot again this off season

[pewpewpew 738]

Players Definitely on the Flight to Brisbane.
May, Harmes, Petracca, Grundy, Viney, Lever, Spargo, Brayshaw, Gawn, Hunter, Oliver, Hibberd, Langdon, Bowey, Melksham, Tomlinson, Jordon, Rivers, McDonald, Smith, Neal-Bullen, Fritsch, Sparrow, Petty, Chandler, McVee, Brown

Joel Smith could be used as a sub if a TMac/Fritsch go down up forward or May’s calf plays up he can cover on defence.
