If, and it’s a big if, they drop, someone to fit in another tall, I don’t think it will be Chol. He’s burned us too many times before. He’s a break glass in case of emergency type of player now. CCJ is more likely.

the mere mention of Chol coming in against Brisbane at the Gabba brings back too many bad memories. He was utterly useless the last time that happened
Yeah, night in Queensland doesn't suit big blokes, but Brisbane do have a fair number of big blokes so I would be tending towards finding a way to get CCJ in, just think he would stretch them, improve our forward line by taking another defender and also give Nank a bit of a break having a tall big 2nd ruck as a chop out.
I would maybe drop Mansell since he has had a few games and is still developing. Like what I see but still young and has some work to do. He's one for the future and will lose his spot when a few others come back. Maybe the AFL could drop a couple of umpires back to the VFL too, in a slower paced game they might be able to recognise when Mansell gets his head ripped off.
Can't see them picking Shedda as we want him right for the rest of the year, not worth the risk. Prestia I thought was no chance yet.
If it will be dewy then we really need to sort out the ball handling as it has been sub-standard in dry games of late.

Yep the dew has hit hard here the last few nights. Expect a slippery game on Friday night.
From what I hear Prestia will play (but with the gabba surface being dewy at night, id give him another week as he's coming back from a calf injury).
Edwards likely, but I wouldn't be surprised if they err on the side of caution and give him another week and he plays against the Crows at the G

Aide from selection, the focus this week has to be improving the way we attack. Watching the GWS game back, our forward line still isn't functioning. Combination of poor inside 50 movement and forwards not marking/taking opportunities.
Three things I most want to see:
- Forwards must lead up at the ball carrier - don't stand still. Keep moving.
- Small forwards must be at the feet of the key forwards - getting sucked too far up the ground during general play.
- No bombs to the top of the square unless there's absolutely no other option.

One of the problems we face is in the ruck.
They have McStay and McInerney rucking and we cannot expect Nank to combat those two on his own.
What the answer is I just don't know.
Chol, for me, is not up to AFL standard and we all seem to agree that Balta has to stay in the backlline.
Conundrum!!

I think it will be no change.
I’d like to see:
In: CCJ
Out: Lynch or Riewoldt (rested)
I would rest one of the big guys. Allows us to reward the good reserves form of CCJ, and gives us a bit more in the back up ruck position.
it’s a long season, give one if the big boys the week off.
I wouldnt drop any,
I would try 3 talls and 3 smslls
Castagna Lynch Rioli

Personal info. So, we'll see, but if it's not against the lions they'll both play V the crows.
I hit the ladder predictor late last night,
and I have our game on Friday night
essentially deciding the minor premiership
and also a 50% chance of deciding the major premiership
Where'd the chaps end up @eZyT ?
Garry Lyon and Gerard Healy already have them hanging off the balcony at Melbourne Town Hall with the keys to the city having just completed the ticker-tape parade
Its just dawned on me why Mansell doesn't get protection for his head. The umps are deciding that because he's from Tasmania, they don't need to protect his head as he has a replacement.

I get Lions, Tigers, Dogs, Dees all a game or two clear of cats and port in fifth and sixth
