Just let this sink in. We will have our best side in, including our missing forwards. We will be in this game knee deep.

Fox Footy said it depends on the results of tonight's game. GWS win then we play Friday night as GWS would only have a 6 days break on top of having to get home.

If ours is on the Saturday we should request it at night. Screw the late return to Melbourne

A lot of people have booked flights based on it being Saturday....!

Harry and Martin are the two certain changes. I would think Kennedy probably makes way for Harry since he effectively took his role in the team.

For Martin it has to be one of Owies, Cuningham, or Fogarty. I think as a group we don’t quite get enough out of these guys. They all play their role but too often they don’t impact the game. When you get 5-10 touches, you have to make them count and last night all 3 of these guys butchered multiple chances, particularly Fogarty.

Motlop is a cut above that group IMO. He’s so much more dangerous around goal and he only needs a few touches to hurt the opposition. He also leads the team in F50 tackles, so he’s an automatic selection for mine. Thought it was madness he didn’t start against Sydney and last night he showed why he should have.

I think Owies stays because he always manages to pop up with his goal or two. I would probably drop Fogarty, his kicking is just so ordinary and he doesn’t hurt the opposition when he gets the ball. At least Cunners can impact the game IF he manages to get his hands on the ball. But I suspect they’ll drop Cuningham. Cottrell is safe due to his running power and his game vs Sydney.

Outside that I can’t see us making any more changes. Could be tempting to drop a tall defender for another small given Brisbane’s plethora of dangerous small forwards. Kemp, Gov, and Cincotta were way too loose at times last night and struggled on the smaller more nimble types. I hate the thought of one of them on Charlie Cameron, Raynor, Bailey, McCarthy, Ah Chee. They really do have an embarrassment of riches in their small-medium forward stocks. That’s the biggest threat in this game IMO.

Kemp needs to learn when to punch and when to mark. Again last night he got out marked trying to pluck one from behind in D50. He also left his man and got stuck in no man’s land a few times. Needs to balance his offensive and defensive mindset and be a bit more accountable.

I still don’t think Pitto is in our best 22 once Harry is back and would rather JSOS, but can understand not wanting to bring in a player into a prelim who hasn’t played for 2 months. Pitto is a pretty limited footballer and does some really dumb things. He knocked it straight down the throat of Melbourne players too much last night, a couple of times completely uncontested too.

The sub has to be a runner. Hollands did well last night giving us that extra run when everyone was spent and giving us an extra number at the contest. I would still lean towards Dow as I think he can win the ball at the source late in the game. He’s had a huge impact coming on as a sub this season.

I’d have Kennedy as sub, he can play HBF, HFF as well as onball. You need fresh legs and toughness in the last quarter. Dow is ok, but he really only impacts onball so doesn’t provide as much flexibility.

Harry and Martin in
Cuningham, Kennedy and Hollands out.

If Doc is out then Hollands stays in. We will need run on the big Brisbane ground.

I'll say it here. We will beat Brisbane.

I know someone who has done that. Booked a flight for 6am Saturday. There may be disappointed supporters.

I watched the game, FFS.

He’s not in my best 22. It’s called an opinion. I think our team is better balanced with JSOS but I would pick Pitto for the rest of the season due to JSOS lack of match fitness.

Just popping in to say hello.

Many of you on this site have been through so much. I remember hanging on Synbad’s every word around trade period. Hell, I remember hanging on every trade period while we tried to find some side in September who we could possibly barrack for against Collingwood or *.

I remember taking deep joy from the * supplements scandal with many of you, I am sure we all took greater pleasure because we knew our own cause at Princes Park was so hopeless. We rode the waves of promise. Denis Pagan was going to save us, Greg Swann was going to save us, Chris Judd was going to save us. Mick Malthouse was never going to save us, but David Buttifant might have. Marc Murphy was going to play in a flag, Bryce Gibbs was number one pick in a super draft, Matty Kreuzer was the best young tall in years. There was the Fev Brownlow scandal. Great players like Scotland, Houlihan, and Betts came and went without any success.

And on this website, you all hung in there. Each and every one of you.

This team cracks in for the guernsey as well as any Carlton side I can remember. As supporters, we no longer expect success. We are just damn well praying for it.

At the Gabba is a free hit. The lads will crack in hard and go for it all over again. Meanwhile, we should sit down with a smile on our faces as we watch them. We’ve all been waiting for it for a hell of a long time.

Well done to everyone on TC for keeping the faith over the past two decades. It has been quite the ride. Go Blues. Two more games!

Wonderful post, great to see you Molly

Yeah agree. I love the kid but he's not strong enough at this stage in his career, sub for mine. I'd like to see Dow make the team. Doc may not play next week, and gee, Acres looks sore. There may be a few forced changes.

Yes, nice to hear from Molly. However, I'd say that's the first and last time Houlihan will be placed alongside Betts and Scotland as a great.

Until each team plays each other the same number of times, the AFL, as a fair dinkum competition, cannot be taken seriously.

He (Mr Swann) said the honour and pride associated with the club's traditional navy blue jumper was priceless.

Can't see Pitto being dropped, I thought he went okay. If he wasn't in the ruck in the last minute we could well have lost, beat Gawn in 2 ruck contests.

I couldn’t believe Gawn didn’t hit those balls into space. Either he was absolutely buggered or Pittonet played it perfectly - or maybe a bit of both?
