Lynch !!

How many days would he have since doing it ?.His running already.
Depends when our first final is scheduled. If we play on the Thursday night, it will be 20 days, Friday night 21 days, Saturday night 22 days, Sunday 23 days. Watch for SHocking to schedule us to play on the bye weekend :)

I think it's perfectly orthodox for Lynch to change ruck. At least some of the time.

It's finals time.
 
I tend to agree Ziffens but who plays 2nd ruck?

After watching Chol tonight I'd be happy with Baker.

Chol dosent deserve to play after today's efforts.
He was in cruise mode from the first 5 minutes.
Even the mark he took was lazy. He went back half hearted and took it one handed

You could see Dimma about to explode if he'd dropped that.

12 months to the day since he tore Geelong a new one and carried us into GF.

So minor hamstring is usually the standard 21 days , Tom injured on Sept 11th, final against Brisbane is Oct 2, going into that game will be bang on 21 days to the day, (it's meant to be, bring him in :D ).

Apparently , according to Ch 7 Tom Browne main training session is Thursday and Lynch has to get through that... ha

Are we playing this week?

Oh , wasn’t sure if he trained today, this morning. ? Didn’t understand a thing....

I'm ok if Tom Lynch misses three.

We have a few in the ones who've missed a lot of football.

We're vulnerable.

It's not that Burge can't rush one back and get away with it. Easily. But Prestia. Rushed back? Cotchin. Grimes. Astbury. Back from injury. Add Lynch to that. Then Bachar and Titch. Missing many. Shai injured recently.

If Lynch misses three with a hamstring that would seen entirely orthodox to me. He's got a fitness base so he can bounce.

But there is still a big room with a monstrous and bizarrely overlooked occupant.

Why isn't Tom Lynch changing ruck?

You go all in in finals. At least the ones that matter.

QF we go in orthodox.

PF and GF, Lynch puts his bad knees on the line, and tries to live up to Grigg's legend.

Bring both in, this will be like a fosters cup game.
Brisbane have 2-3 AFL quality players the rest would struggle in the VFL.
We underrate Brisbane at our peril Zips
We need to be close to our best and if we are we will win but we still need to do it.
Listening to Balme on the Talking Tigers podcast I think it is very possible that Dion won’t play
 
From what I saw Dion will play looks super fit ready to go he plays and Dimma made it clear he will pick him.

I think dusty may spend more minutes forward than we have seen this year due to the midfield getting stronger in depth now ,

2 bags of 6 in his last 4 games against Brisbane,

He makes them nervous going forward
