Wonder whether we'll see an announcement soon on Nathan Jones? His wife is currently in hospital and expecting anytime soon.

Never said he would be the reason at all.. Simply said he needs to stand up. Get to many contests as possible, bring the ball to ground and provide a good lead up target.

No more excuses for Tmac tonight. Hes been carried by the team the past 2 games and Ben Brown and Fritsch have been doing the heavy lifting. Tmac simply needs to stand up tonight.

I think there is more concern around Henderson who supposedly has a sore hammy

Not nervous one bit..

Breakfast beers

Just hit me that this time tomorrow night..... I'll be doing this.

There was talk that Henderson was going through a fitness test today.

Really surprised Geelong didn't bring in an extra midfield for Parfitt, but instead have stayed with Zac Guthrie who's a half back flanker. Parfitt is Geelongs best defensive mid. They've left the bollocking work to a Selwood and a banged up Dangerfield. Works in our favour.

Yep, sounds like they're banged up. In fairness though, it was most likely their captains runs which is usually pretty chill and low key.

GEELONG will be forced to make one selection call for its clash against Melbourne. Gun midfielder Brandan Parfitt has been ruled out of the rest of his club’s finals campaign due to a hamstring tear that will require surgery. Zach Guthrie, who was subbed in for Parfitt during the semi-final win over the Giants, could be elevated into the starting 22, while Sam Simpson and veterans Shaun Higgins and Luke Dahlhaus are also candidates to replace him. Foxfooty.com.au senior reporter Tom Morris reports Higgins trained with the main midfield group on Thursday while Gryan Miers and Zach Tuohy didn’t train as part of a lighter load this week, but there’s no suggestion they won’t play. Defender Lachie Henderson was put through his paces in what appeared to be a fitness test while Darcy Fort was rucking, with Rhys Stanley running on the side of the session.

This is cool!

I don’t doubt that at all. It's his body that worries me the most.

I'll need to double check but I'm pretty sure he is?? I like Gunston and think it would be a screwed recruit. But right now personally, if I'm choosing between an up and coming star of the future in Cerra or a guy who's got a bung back at 29 years of age then I know who I'm selecting.

You're on to something here. I like it.

Not sure he's a free swing Jaded, he's actually still contracted to the Hawks for 2022.

Speaking on AFL Tonight, foxfooty.com.au senior reporter Tom Morris said the Dees remained outsiders despite their persistence. “Melbourne is broadly keen on Adam Cerra and has spoken to him in recent days, but nobody really knows how they’d be able to get a deal done at this point, given their lack of draft picks, given the fact that they want Jack Gunston and given their salary cap is probably quite tight,” he explained. “That is why Carlton is still the strong favourite for Cerra, but as we know it is silly season, anything can happen and I wouldn’t absolutely rule Melbourne out just yet.”

Don't do it Cerra.........

Interesting on Port here.

Surely we aren't going through all this effort to have a meeting with him and not think we can pull something out of the hat.

From Sam McClure article. While Cerra is said to be extremely impressed with Melbourne’s presentation, he is also excited at the proposition of playing alongside Carlton duo Patrick Cripps and Sam Walsh.

It's certainly looking increasingly unlikely that we'll have the draft capital to satisfy Fremantle unfortunately.
