Changes this week?

Yes Joel did a superb job on Brown last year.

Thank goodness there's still Simmo if Richo doesn't make the trip up.  What's a girl to do ???

Guys guys girls lets just take a step back here. The onle reason why Bowdo played at CHB last year was because Dud was scratching his head with Gas all year trying to work out what to do....there is not a chance in hell we will play Bowdo on Brown this year (and nor should we). Gas is hot and has blanketed well so its only right he gets first crack.

With Hall most likely to be out, we have the option of either bringing in Staff in a straight swap, or for Patto which means Moore may get a call up. I dont think brisbane have the talls so me personally...I would go for Staff -> Hall. We only need one tall down back for Brown, and we can make do with the second tierers like Bowbo and Chubba. I would even be comfortable throwing Patto down there to play on Merret or the resting ruckman if need be.

I would like to see Hyde get another week's rest. I dont want to risk him as we have two massive games after Brisbane coming up.

Is Bradshaw coming back this week for the Lions? If not then it's a easy decision as om21 said - Gas on Brown.

Not a lot wrong with Sarge's performance up there last year

Agree Mopsy but unfortunately the kid is lacking match fitness at the moment. Tezza said the other week that he needed 3-4 weeks at Coburg to regain match fitness

Wouldn't be surpised at all if Morrison comes in for Hall

Not from what I saw of him at Punt Road against the bullants where I thought he got a bath from his opponent. perhaps he is more a forward than a backman as I see he was among'st the goalkickers last saturday.

I didn't see the game against the Bullants. But up until that game Morrison had been playing CHB for Coburg and from what I had seen had rightly been in the best players.

Granted Chub is not the best of full-backs, I would prefer him playing on Bradshaw than Gas.....Gas out and out has to take the best attacker. We dont have anyone remotely close to matching up on JB. Gas would have to be a shoe-in..........unless we just double and triple team like every other side does.....but I would prefer not using this cheap tactic.

You would have seen more of him than me over time as I only watched him for the first half of that game but to me he semed lethargic and his opponent got away from him too easily. That has been Halls strongpoint this year and I feel that his replacement should be of the same mould.

David Flood said he played Morrison in the forward line against North Ballarat because he felt Coburg's forward line could do with a few more senior players in there to score more goals. He struggled up there though.

With Moore breaking his jaw , it'll be between Morrison and Schulz if we decide to bring in another tall to replace Razor in defence. Flood said Sarge started reasonably well but faded. He's still underdone coming back from his ankle injury.

I think i've mozzed Kel Moore - saw him the other night and said I didn't think he'd be far away from getting a game, and now he's broken his jaw 

[letsgetiton!]

what do u think the chances are of gilmore getting a gig! we know we need pace and run to beat the lions, and gilmore has been fantastic running off half back

[Moi]

Gilmore has apparently done his ankle, X

Add to that McGuane's broken arm. 3 youngsters injured in one weekend  .

Wouldn't be surprised if Graham starts down back this week

Stafford not right. Schulz is in. Jackson is now emergency.
