He continued to play and kicked 5 goals. Not sure he'd continue with a broken foot and be close to BOG.

It'd be a shock and poor management if that was the case.

(similar to 90 nice)

OUT: Frampton, Lipinski, Macrae (sub)
IN: Moore, Murphy, McCreery

FB: Maynard, Murphy, Howe
HB: IQ, Moore, Markov
C: JDaicos, De Goey, WHE
HF: Hill, Mihocek, McCreery
FF: Elliott, McStay, Ginnivan
FOL: Cameron, Mitchell, Crisp

IC: Sidebottom, Pendles, Adams, Noble
EMG: Lipinski, Macrae, Frampton, Cox (sub)

* 3 old guys are on the IC near the oxygen tank at hand, Lol
* I feel the big marking forward is a weakness. But get ball to ground, that's our strength.
* Frampton's role not in the side weakens the backline if there is an injury
No, Cox must play. If any ruckman is to be the sub, it would be Cameron
Yes, you're right!

The tweet I saw just says he’s just having scans. Is there another one somewhere?

We got to put a lot of work into Viney this time.

Fritsch came off in pain yday before returning to win the game.
But there was enough concern today to send him for a scan that’s pivotal to Melbourne’s September

We are a much better team playing them this time round.
They didn't have Oliver or Fritsch. In my view, the teams are pretty even.
Fritsch played. He kicked 3.3

Melbourne also had Grundy last game, so they did effectively play with only 21 players

Cox and Cameron have to play to wear Gawn down.

McStay needs to play to even up the May and Lever combo. Just cannot let one of them free in our D50
Hill, Ginni and Elliot and Beau/WHE/Linpiski/JDG to rotate through.

Stopping Trac and his bull runs and fwd impact will go along way to get the win. And Viney is in good form as well. Mids have a big job on their hands.

Fritch (if plays) is a hard match up and will need to be kept quiet as well.

Dees won't have Petty who they like to swing back and fwd to give them an edge which is in our favour, and Melksham has been in good form for them and they will miss his influence.

What I do know. The dees do not like pressure, when the going gets tough they rarely fight it out. They are down hill skiers. Albeit very good ones.

I'm not going to try and predict a team lol. We have good depth this year. I will trust the coaching group to pick a winning team.

Pies to win by 20 points or more.

Go Pies!!

I've been a long time fan of Sidey and he remains one of our most skilful and best decision-makers. He is also a true leader on the field. However, since returning from injury, he seems to be slightly favouring a leg and has it strapped. He also seems to have slowed a tad.

I'm not suggesting he be dropped, but perhaps he could be useful as a sub in the finals, coming on when the pace has somewhat gone out of the game.
