Round 1 - Changes vs Carlton

Feel sorry for him if his back is stuffed. An athlete with a bad back is going to need every cent they've got.
Disappointing he's injured given the preseason he's had. Looks like another trivia question for years to come.

Yeh, anyone who's had a bad back will sympathise with the big fella. At least he would be getting all the right advice. Tough to overcome when you are paying for physio, treatment etc. At least he has access to professional help.
 
Geez with only Graham Fawcett and Colina on the injured list we can't use outs as an excuse this week.

Might have to use key players rusty after injury .........................
Big rumour we are picking up this Pack busting Marking foward in the mid season draft.

Yze in his presser talked about winning one last flag for the old guys… the club is seriously delusional about the direction we are going in… the old guys shouldn’t be guaranteed spots and we really need to start blooding the kids, to see what we’ve got. Yze also said everyone pulled up well so we won’t be resting anyone. That makes for an extremely old team tomorrow night 🙄

I am all for it based on form. If we are winning then sure go for it.....if the wheels fall off then I am positive Yze will change direction.

We won’t even make finals, let alone win the flag!

From the captain’s run video on instagram, didn’t see Samson or Kosi. Looks like both out of the squad. Naismith was decent the other day but we really don’t need two genuine rucks if Nank is back so hopefully Balta backs up and we play another small (Mansell was out there, could be him).

Good pick up.
It did look like no Kosi or Ryan.

Those seen training who didn't play last week in the starting 22 were:

Brown
Mansell
Ross
Martin
Lynch
Nank

So there is your 22 plus sub and 3 emergencies.

What's he gunna say? Those guys like Dusty, Nank, Prestia etc are competitive beasts and will believe anything is possible so keeps them driving on - don't think that means they are guaranteed games though
