Owies the sub???? Can't get my head around that one to be honest. Our best small forward at the moment and we leave him out?

Harry is on fire

When was the last time he started with 3.0?

I give in!

TDK playing on crook ankle can't jump, no spare ruck. They'll keep him out there but it's a huge risk of serious injury.

Weitering playing on corky, can't jump, back out there no KPP spare, another huge risk LTI risk.

McGovern, hip flexor can't jump struggling, no KPD spare. DoH!

So what now, Harry or Cripps consigned to rucking, or just surrender the stoppages.

Sure it's worth the risk, at least those onballers get an extra 60s of bench time.

If TDK and Weiters do some serious damage it's potential season destroying, but worth the risk!

We can afford to lose this game. Let’s not take risks with Key players and injuries

TDK playing on crook ankle can't jump, no spare ruck. They'll keep him out there but it's a huge risk of serious injury playing on a weak ankle.

Weitering playing on corky, can't jump, back out there no KPP spare, another huge risk LTI risk.

McGovern, hip flexor can't jump struggling, no KPD spare. DoH!

So what now, Harry or Cripps consigned to rucking, put Kennedy and his MCL in there, or just surrender the stoppages.

Send Charlie back. He's struggling up forward.

Dropping Hewett was a mistake.

Imagine if this was GF day?

Messing with team selections with Hewett and Owies was a mistake IMHO...

What you are watching tonight is called a single point of failure, Voss won't make this mistake again.

Think we are better than we are.

Remember last year's prelim we dropped Owies and made Kennedy sub.

I sit here watching Cripps ruck against Briggs, beating Briggs, but then I see Briggs loading Cripps MCL with heavy bodied tackles for pretty much every ruck disposal Cripps wins. It's worth the risk.

I’m not enjoying the pushing in marking contests.
I also don’t enjoy the pushing in the ruck contests, holding your ground is fine but the big fat shoves prior to the contest are crap.

Go watch netball mate.
You are so paranoid about someone getting injured, this game isn't for you

You are so paranoid about someone getting injured, this game isn't for you

Yes, I'm being completely unreasonable when I fear we might put a valuable key player at risk, it'll never happen.

Luckily Hogan and Greene play fair, they won't do anything to make things worse.

You haven’t answered the question LP, how many rucks a kp do you want sitting on the bench ?

Our midfield has been smashed.

Our midfield has been smashed.

We could use cuningham tonight.

Hewett?

Should've played instead of Kennedy.

But cunners offers more run.

Can't continue to carry fantasia every week.
Yes he got 4 last week, but at least 2 were gifted to him.

Bah hah hah, Cunningham to Briggs or Hogan! ;D

Teams who can match us at the clearances then have the pace and spread are going to beat us...that's our Achilles heel when you have a team of bigger slow mids and they can't dominate.

Thinking of you!

Yes it's our weakness @ElwoodBlues1, so tonight we have built our chances of winning the clearance on a single point of failure, no backups available.

Is that your bench of kp and rucks ?

Oh ffs stop embarrassing yourself.

We are actually winning the clearances.

Nope, I thought Ollie and Fantasia could do with the extra protein.

And there it is, the stats to the rescue, lucky for us!

None of our mids including Acres who does get back often  have been able to get back and help out. Too slow and our defense has been caught out especially with Weitering injured.

I have been saying all year that speed and fast ball movement is our cryptonite.
The Swans play the same way.
The Giants have been a sleeping Giant (pardon the pun).
They are a good side, we have relaxed our pressure and bam..they are back in form.
Not worried about losing but I am about mot being able to put the clamps on them.

Has Charlie shifted himself into defence tonight?

Has the right to do it to stop the run ons, but I haven't seen him do it.

And there it is, the stats to the rescue, lucky for us!

Voss hasn't been overly inventive with moves imo.

I think with our slower bigger mids we need to dominate rather than just break even in clearances.

Voss hasn't been overly inventive with moves imo.

Did Harry just get a clearance from the centre?

If only we had a 2nd ruck to do that.

The is one silver lining. A GWS puts the Pies out of the 8, assuming a Brissie win over Adelaide at the Gabba tomorrow.

Yes, he might have been inside F50 to take a mark! ;)

Kemp was actually playing on Hogan before Weitering got injured.

Still struggling to see how pittonet playing solves that problem.

We should have went after Ben McKay.

Yep I have no idea why we didn't entertain that idea.

I'd say the $$$$$$$$ and a tight cap.

5 goals to 1 since orasio been off.

Owies has lifted us..

Or owies released the anchor that was holding us down.
