Yep.

Hewett and Lord rotating?
Toss up for moi between Kemp and McGovern going forward. Agree Young must go back.
Cincotta has the speed to keep with their quickest smaller forward.
I have Lemmey in. While not fully ready his last 6 weeks have been pretty good. He is hitting the scoreboard.

What I would do is have both Gov and Kemp in the key forward roles and let Lemmey 2nd ruck so he gets a run around the paddock rather than stay home all the time.

Maybe I'm an incurable romantic, stubborn optimist or just plain nuts, but I find myself quietly confident we can win the next two games, and make finals. There was just something in the endeavour and effort of our boys that just didn't lie down over the past couple of depressing months. I wonder if my locked room at the psych ward will have a window with a scenic view?
Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17

Scribes have us getting in on the ladder predictor apps and Freo dropping out, however they have us playing GWS at home first up and I dont see that going well...and would we be better off outside the eight draw and draft pick wise?

Not me. If it is a chance for a bunch of kids to experience a final, thumping or not, I am all for it.

Depends on the list.    We have a lot of 1-2 week listed injuries.

If* you could get Cerra, Curnow, McKay and Saad back then I reckon you have a crack.   Pushing the preverbal up hill, but why not?    They will have the pre-season to recover and it's only a pick one up in a deep draft.

Reckon the Ross and the Saints will stich us up in our current form however.

Bar last week, we were never beaten off and kept coming. We were a Mitch McGovern away from entrenching ourselves.

Those 1-2 weeks are minor hamstrings. No matter what they say those things are always 3 at the low end.

If its a competitive lineup as Shakin suggested thats ok with me too but if its a reduced lineup talent wise with a high chance of a thumping then Im not so keen...

I take your word for it Iaj.   2 rounds left and bye before the finals might still make it tight.

Yep. 100% right.

No hamstring has ever been 1-2 weeks.

Depends.

A hamstring can be 1 to 2 weeks on a player that hasn't done one before and it's a low grade one.

Personally i'd put Weitering forward, at least for part of the game. Nobody will be able to push him off the ball and he'll read the ball better than anyone else.

We have Gov (hopefully he's fit) and Kemp to do their usual role and we can have Young to play Weitering role, which he seems to be able to do better than any other defenders role.

We need to be able to score and we are just about missing our complete first choice forwardline, so why not add a joker into the mix with Weitering?

If we lose, it doesn't matter if its 1 point or 100.

Without kicking a score though, we have no hope.

Cooper Lord is a definite in. The lad deserves a spot. Only, where do we play him? He's another inside mid.
Live Long and Prosper!

Haven't seen one yet. Unless it's referred never see then under 3. Those that have tried 2 weeks have invariably dine them again.

Brent guerra.

I vividly recall seeing him standing in water down at st kilda beach waist high with a jacket and scarf on.

Admittedly it was grand final prep, and that's a risk worth taking but anyone who go injured on the weekend has 4 weeks to get right before we need them to play provided, we have enough fit bodies in our next two weeks.

How ironic the one bloke I came up with quickly was a guy trained by Russell.
