Cripps will be tagged out of the game unless he has a strong block. Enter Kerridge.
BB may be panning that either Kerridge will help chop Greenwood out OR if he can't, that Kerridge will get the clearances instead. We need this selection and it is a good one. BB can't fill that role.
Thomas was supposedly BOG last week in the twos. He must be going to play a small forward role if he is for Silvagni. Confusing to me. I was hoping for Kerr or even Jones, who is slaughtering them in his new role as a follower. He must have taken three or four contested chest marks in the pack on his highlight reel from the match. Maybe a late change is on the cards.
I don't think we can win this but I can see why we picked one of the two at least.
What do you mean by that?
You give the Blues no hope at all.
Mate, let me tell you, we have nothing to lose and we have picked up our physical game.
Players playing for spots.
NB's doing well.
SOJ and Fish back next week.
Cuningham, Boekhurst, Macreadie, Buckley, Kerr and even Jones are knocking the door down...
There's plenty to play for.
Cripps, Gibbs, E.Curnow,
Kerridge, Graham are strong bodied players.
Thomas has a lot to prove to Carlton AND Collingwood.
Smedts got with the programme.
Backline line is cohesive, tall, strong and mobile.
If the tough mids hold their own and get it our to Murphy, PetSet, Smedts and Simmo we will cut them up, and the ball will be in our forward line not theirs.
Blues by 23 points to spoil their 125th party.
After all we ARE the guest of honour

But they are slow and therefore can't spread quickly enough and if we don't get the ball they can't catch anyone.
