McGuane will miss with a hammy.
Hopefully Thursty will be 100% next week so he'll be a logical replacement. If Thursty does not come up either I suggest debut Rance. Big crowd big game big stakes footy. Regardless of the result kid will remember his first game learn a hell of a lot and will have exposure of the "big blockbuster" so early in his career. Can't be all that bad for him.
Possibly JON for Connors also.

In: Thursty, Sugar
Out: McGuane (inj), JON

Hopefully some of the cubs at Coburg have a strong game today just in case Sugar or Thursty don't come up.

I would like to see JON out. Sorry to say he still needs to work on his kicking and decision making and COburgs the best place for that. Especially if we are serious about trying to make the finals. I can see improvement but there were still too many dangerous passes and turn overs resulting in shots on goal for my liking.

I love his attack on the ball and his courage. He moves well and he definitely has that freakish quality that the indigenous players can have. I just don't think the players have confidence in him and I understand why.

Agree with MT.

In: Thursty, Sugar
Out: McGuane (inj), JON

McGuane's a big loss IMHO.

I guess it now all depends on the availability of our injured players
You would think that Johnson & Thursfield would be walk up starts, but let's just hope they're fit enough to play

Only Schulz put his hand up at Coburg, but unless Thursfield isn't fit, I can't see him coming in.

I think the decision is agreed upon then if they are available-

In - Thursty, Johnson

Out - McGuane, JON

I would also throw up Rance as a potential inclusion if Thursty isn't right but Schulz is more likely at this stage.

Agree with consensus, is Kingy still a week away ? I know it's not a balance but if he is ready Jack or Polo 4 Kingy too .....

As we can see, Ins/Outs are getting hard too pick aren't they, good signs  :thumbsup

From one-eyed's post on the Coburg vs Casey thread:

"Some stats from the Herald-Sun

Richmond-listed forward Jay Schulz was the main focal point in attack for the Tigers with five majors, while Kayne Pettifer kicked two from 19 touches.

Andrew Raines and Greg Tivendale played in the midfield and had 50 disposals between them."

Did Fev play last time we beat them?
