Changes V Lions

No change.

think they will back themselves to roll Lions off a 4 day break and will keep Vlas for 3rd game.

Vlastuin will play. Dimma said that he would have played Wednesday if it was a final. They were being ultra cautious.

Think Cotch will miss this week as there is only a 4 day break between the Lions, and the Port Adelaide game to follow. Vlad will also get another week.

Other way around. he will play against Brisbane and miss Port. He pretty much admitted this post game on wednesday.

Markov played his role and did okay - shouldn't be dropped.
If Cotch needs to be rested I'd just bring in Floss for Cotch. If Floss isn't right yet then RCD in for Cotch.

Daniel Rioli has the proven skill and should be there. Played a much improved last Qr against GWS and with others returning, he should understand that anything less than 100% concentration this week is likely to cost him a tilt at another flag.

B Baker Balta Grimes
HB Markov Broad Short
C Lambert Martin Pickett
HF Rioli Castagna Higgins
F Chol Lynch Aarts
R Soldo Stack Bolton
I/C Egglemosse-Smith McIntosh Riewoldt and Ross

When every one is available I see our
side going into finals looking like this:

B Vlastuin Astbury Grimes
HB Markov Balta Houli
C Broad Cotchin Pickett
HF Rioli Edwards Lambert
F Chol MartIn Lynch
R Soldo Bolton Prestia
I/C Baker Castagna Riewoldt (call me sentimental), and Stack

Em from Aarts Egglemosse-Smith lGraham Higgins McIntosh Nankervis Ross and Short.
Forgot Caddy but for ?

Players don't always have to be dropped, just replaced with a better player. I don't think Markov did anything wrong, he played a good game, but if Vlastuin is fit then he replaces Markov in the backline.

Never seen this though

OUTS: Poshman (replaced by better player)

Markov looked solid down back. If any player looks to be struggling in the backline ATM it is Short. Always seems to get caught behind his man and soft as butter one on one but that's the price we pay so he can kick the ball forward. Surely we can do better.

In: Vlaus Out: Short

Won't happen though

I love Rioli unfortunately he is as out of form as you can get. Fumbly, lethargic and disconnected.
 
Bris talls are *smile*. Dopey. Stupid. Constantly a metre out of position. Notorious and Grange and Vlas will smash them.

Harsh assessment of Shorty - reckon he’s playing his best footy for us of late and still improving

JS was quoted as one of our best last Thursday. Plays his role very well and would be surprised if dropped.
