I shouldn't look too far ahead but if we, say, got to a PF, there would likely be no games in Melbourne for us. Brisbane, somewhere in Sydney, and then Adelaide if Port beat Geelong week 1.

I just hope we have a life size cutout of Harris Andrews on the ground at every training session and if any player kicks it within 20m of him, they are simply delisted.
And Cincotta should be made to carry around a Lachie Neale cutout wherever he goes for the next 2 weeks!

Didn’t we beat Brisbane in Brisbane, GWS in Sydney and Port in Adelaide this season??

Our EF is on Saturday night 7:30pm, according to Sportsbet.
Go Blues!

Still bitterly disappointed and devastated with our game. Enthused though with our endeavour and spirit especially with a makeshift line up.

We just have to take that in to the EF. Ride the stroke of luck, regroup, get some reinforcements and give them all they can handle.

Such an even comp and we’ve proved our best footy is right up there. So why not us?

That has to be our mentality imho.

We are on our way back...

this will be close to the team we take to bris, i think. we'll need young to go to their tall forward line, and really, he can follow Joe into the ruck too if we need to.

no way we can trust martin or cerra, and possibly even williams to play out a sudden death final with their soft tissue issues. weitering plays so poorly when mcgovern isn't in the lineup. it's baffling to me, but that is a fact.

moir will be an excellent sub for finals. i'm thinking all of our games will be physically taxing, close, games - and his x-factor will be something difficult for other teams to contain.

kemp as a third tall is intriguing, and adds a layer for them to have to deal with. he could have a field day with H and charlie getting the attention, but i really do worry about locking the ball in to our F50 with some many talls, and considering with charlie, we play a man down bcos he doesn't pursue or tackle.

and the gabba Vee the Lions is a nightmare if you allow the ball to rebound.

Pack of perennial losers with the biggest chip on their shoulders when it comes to Carlton.
By far the worst supporters for carrying on like flower after a game.

Hope their lonely premiership cup tarnishes.

Meh, it's a lot easier to win a final from 8th than it is from 9th

I suspect he won't be available but his form hasn't been since he came back from the previous injury

John Ralph is suggesting Owies is in trouble for a dangerous tackle, I can’t recall the incident, can anyone shed any light?

Agree.

Young doesn't get a fair go from some fans, and written him off.

Think about this. We have Brizzy is Brizzy to play.

Brizzy have Hipwood and Daniher over 200cm tall in forwardline. Who takes them?
Last year's final it was Weitering and Marchbank. Marchbank has not played for a while and is not in same form.

Brizzy have 2 powerful medium size players Bailey and Raynor. Who takes them?

Kemp? He's not a lockdown defender and one on one against taller opponents is his weakness.
Gov? Most unaccountable defender in our team. He's always setting up for the intercept.

Who does that leave? Now let me think ...Newman on Raynor....Cincotta on Bailey...

Saad on Cameron, Cowan on Lohmann.

Who does that leave? Akuei? Lemmey? Sam Durdin out for ever....and some want to see the back of Young?

As a minimum I suspect we bring in Harry, Charlie, McGovern and Williams.
TDK obviously comes in if fit.
Martin is a risk however I hope we play him - we aren't going to beat the Lions in Brisbane playing safe.
I wouldn't consider Cerra as he normally takes a while to hit form returning from injury. Having the unreliable Martin and Williams in the side is risky enough without adding Cerra to the mix.

I know it's finals but I'd like to see Moir play a full game, he did more than Durdin and Motlop in only 1 qtr.
The kid has talent.
As far as the rest of the team, I just hope we don't go too tall.
Our leg speed the last couple of weeks has been a stand out and if history says anything, Brisbane will bring the leg speed again.
Finding the right balance will be tough.

Williams is our best small fwd and has to play.

Charlie, Big H and Gov in our best 12.

TDK and Boyd if they are fit, but can't see them risking TDK one out in ruck after 6 weeks out.

Out; Carroll, Durdin, Binns, Moir, Lord, Young.
