This fixture has brought it’s share of pain in recent years. The Lions will fancy their chances against us.

In- Kreuzer, Thomas
Out- Casboult, Polson

Even though SOJ finished the game today, our recent history with treating ankle injuries means he will probably miss 1-2 weeks....

I didn’t see today’s VFL game, but I read Lobbe was in the best players. If Kreuzer doesn’t come up, I would consider giving Lobbe a go.

Hopefully Cunningham, Macreadie & Marchbank return in the VFL this week. With a bit of luck, that trio + LOB & Byrne will force out the likes of Graham, Lamb & Mullett over the next few weeks, and put pressure on SPS, Garlett & Wright to lift their games.

B: Simmo Rowe Weitering
HB: Thomas Jones Murphy
C: Dow Cripps Mullett
HF: Fisher C Curnow Garlett
F: Pickett Phillips Wright
R: Kreuzer Kennedy E Curnow

Inter: Graham, Lamb, SOJ, SPS.

Out: Polson and Wright
In: Lang and Thomas

I am hoping just for an "honourable" loss of under 30 points against Brisbane. Plenty of "green shoots" with a loss by under 30 points. There are "little wins" within each loss.
The team will respond to adversity against Brisbane by losing by under 40 points and kicking more than 50 points in the match.
So many "green shoots" will then be obtained. It will almost be like an acre of bamboo with all the green shoots. Green shoots abound.

They should not only do it for Aaron Mullet's 14th match, but do it for Levi's 104th game. Let's hope the growth continues with another loss of under 30 points. Then that loss will be a victory in itself.

McKay at FF, not a ruckman. Our forward line struggles enough as it is. That's always a disaster for us. Tough decision coming up.

McKay needs at least one more big preseason before he can play the role Casboult has been playing. Our structure needs a big body to contest outnumbered, bring the ball to ground consistently and take some physical pressure off Charlie. McKay has missed a lot of time on the track in the past couple of years. McKay or TDK should be able to fill that role by 2020, but at the moment Casboult is the most suited. The problem is, he is out of form. Phillips is in form and doesn’t get outmarked easily. I don’t think we can play Kreuzer, Phillips & Casboult in the same side - so I think now is the time to revisit the Phillips/Kreuzer ruck/forward combo.

The players should be made to (Clockwork Orange style) watch our previous Gabba outings repeatedly between now and game time.

I’m at the freo Brisbane game.

Brisbane are very disciplined with their defensive structure and preventing freo from transitioning the ball.

They will kill us.

Yes and our Nuffies think we don't need a priority pick but both Brisbane and GC won't rule it out

Apparently Chad Liddle led the charge on no priority pick according to Judd on FC why the board would be influenced by a CEO on L plates dictate this is absurd
