Lions likely to be without Rich and Zorko

Never mind them, we play our best we'll be hard to beat

Huge game. Another test. This time we'll be armed with more weapons.

Let's do this.

Rather play them here than up there.

I think they srltruggle without richie rich

Given tonight selection will be very interesting

Motlop Boyd TDK Cowan Owies Kennedy Cottrell all available. Hollands may well be managed this week

We are getting close to our best side and IMO it can beat anyone

It will be a real game unlike the false euphoria given off after the weagles massacre.

The lions are a real team. Beat them and we can say , we are real contenders.

Motlop, Cottrell & Boyd the most likely out of that lot. Kennedy already in.

A freshen up for Hollands not out of the question, just to refill the tank & be certain he’s hitting the line strong over the next month or so.

My prediction is it will be a tight game with the commentators bitching and moaning non stop about richie Rich and derek zoolander missing, even though clearly bottom of injury ladder

Id like to see hollands rested. Fisher needs a rest too i feel. Maybee a third player could be rested out of a group of 3 or 4. Would like to see dow given a chance cottrel definately back in, and would also like to see binns given a game to see how he stacks up at the top early on. Would be happy for motlop to come straight back, or even a week in the seconds, but would definately want him back by rnd 9

If fit, Owies for Honey. Otherwise no change for me.

Motlop for Honey
Kennedy for Ed
Boyd for Hollands

Motlop for Honey the only change I'd make.

Cottrell for Fisher
Owies for Honey

How do you deal with Kemp and Cincotta? Neither deserve a demotion, really. Cincotta probably just ahead of Kemp, so Kemp out if one had to choose. Depends on matchups with Bris I reckon.

No we need to keep Cincotta and Kemp in. More Doch further up the ground and you can leave those two in.

Motlop for Honey.
Kennedy for Ed. Ed the sub i reckon.
Owies if fit for Fisher. Hollands stays in as he has a dip. Fisher is putrid at the moment. Needs to go back to vfl to dominate and get some confidence back.

I want Cottrel in but he needs some run in his legs first.

Feel as though the six day break coming back from Perth is going to be the factor here.

I'd prefer no change in theory - keep the confidence from such a big win, but the short turnaround concerns me. Not a lot of options in the VFL either.

Motlop for Ed
Honey sub, Kennedy in the full 22 would be my go.

Think Cincotta has taken Cowan's spot and needs to be persevered with - he reads the play so well. Kemp should get an extended run at it, given the size of Brisbane and the Dogs' forward line over the next few weeks, and then assess from there. Be nice to have him as an option as an undersized second tall if we decide to look at Young as the back up ruck where matchups suit.

Boyd for Fisher can't come quick enough. Ideally Cottrell becomes our regular sub ongoing. Fitting Owies and Martin in will be a fun challenge too.

Motlop can return.

Owies and Boyd available?

Would you risk Owies five weeks off with no football following a hamstring injury?

I'd rather he come back via the reserves first, as important as he is.
