shame polo has been dropped, he is tough and loves the hard stuff, but i guess someone has to make way, jacko is def in because he owned black last year, but this year is another year and we should have kept polo in

I know Jacko did the job on Black last year but to drop Polo is harsh. 

They've also got Cleve out with a back injury rather than dropped ???. That might explain why I didn't notice him at training on Tuesday.

he may have gone into the game with a back complaint, how are we to know

but who cares how many times he touched the ball last week, he lead to the right spots last week but mitch was hot so the boys went to him

and when cleve did get the ball in the 3rd quarter, he kicked a very important goal

Very very harsh on Dean Polo IMO

Has been very good in the 4 weeks he's been back

Perplexed :-\

Jacko received praise for his game against Willy in the Coburg site match report so it doesn't look like there'll be any late changes.

I see Brissy has brought in some harder bodies in Adcock and Sherman and dropped a speedster like Hooper. Looks like Matthews has given up trying to match our speed and will try to congest the game in the midfield and turn it into an inside game of stoppages.

Dean Polo ... ??? ... how did Edwards and White play last week ???

Cleve Hughes with a Back Injury ??? well ... he was likely to make way for Richardson ...

looking at the teams ... i think this will be tough for us ... good to see two young fast players dropped for Brisbane ...

this match is MASSIVE for us people ...

Their defense has big bodies ... Riewoldt needs another Big Match ... just like the rest of the 22 ... lol ... like to see Schulz kick 4 or 5 goals ... i think he has so far improved ... at CHB he has been good ... :)

A tagger for a tagger - Polo for Jackson and a tall for a tall - Cleve for Richo. Makes sense and even though I'm disappointed for both Polo and Cleve(even though they are saying it is his back) I can see the logic of the decision.

Schulz has improved tremendously as a backman this year so much so I am loath to move him from that position. When he goes forward now he almost seems to have a negative mindset because of his new role. I will be interested to see how he leads, marks (rather than spoils) and most importantly - kicks which has been his downfall of late.

I think we have a real chance of winning this game but even though we have played better there of late, the TD does not suit a run and carry game with its smaller dimensions.

Makes me worry  :help

Our record at the Dome isn't as bad as in previous years.

Draw vs Bulldogs which we should had won.

3 point loss vs Saints which we should had won.

Win vs Melbourne including a 8.7-55 2nd quarter before falling asleep as usual in the 3rd quarter.

The C and HF lines look great don't they? Talented. A great mix of experience and youth. Those two lines rival any in the comp.
