Roost it far

I think you can work it out

I don’t rate mcluggage, goes missing when the heat turns up

So, I’d prefer to beat the Pies at the G over PA

Hill’s had a bad minute

Dent the Lions confidence, make them question themselves prior to finals. They’ve everything to play for and it would say a lot if they can’t get it done.

I wonder if WC and North have done a deal already allowing them to strive for wins

Why? Happy for the Saints to get up

Can’t see the Lions losing, a class above the Saints

Imagine how good Reid would look in Red and Blue

Oh no

North look good

Harley is back in the frame

You'd be fuming if you followed north

"The Harley Reid Cup"

Playing after the Pies, PA and Brisbane has it's advantages

Imagine the excitement if Melbourne and Adelaide hadn't lost due to AFL incompetence and there was more clubs fighting for a spot in the 8 and other clubs jostling for position.........but hey, why fix the problem in front of you when you can distract people and create another.

Using lots of exclamation marks doesn’t make you right. Laurie has the potential and TMac will get minutes tomorrow

If he stays, which I think is unlikely, he’ll get plenty of game time. It’s not as though Max is playing 27-28 games next year

If Grundy is on our books at the end of next season he'll likely be about to have his last few seasons as our Number 1 ruck, that's about as far from a liability as you can get. If Grundy leaves which appears likely and we can't find back up for Max, it's likely Schache will get serious AFL minutes. I'm not enthusiastic about that. I'm in the keep Grundy if we can camp. In saying that I'd be happy with Georgiades for Grundy and PA pay all his contract.

I think the risk is mitigated by the fact it's likely a dead rubber. I still see May getting rested and Tomlinson playing but that's a total guess. Sub will be TMac surely, I mean why take him if he's not playing?

When Brisbane win I'll rest easy

I still can't see how we lost that QF

The Turner inclusion is an interesting one. it's pretty clear the FD don't love Tomlinson, I'm guessing it's probably because of his lack of pace and he does get lost under the ball from time to time. Turner offers less size but more pace, reads the ball marginally better and probably matches Adam for disposal. Experience, well he largely has none and here we sit at the start of the most important 6 weeks of the season. Are we giving Turner a run because we see The Pies forward line as smaller and more mobile? What if we play Brisbane in the GF, does Tomlinson get the nod? Personally I think we see Turner as the match up for the Pies and this is his chance to get ready for that. Still a big, brave call by the FD. I like it.
