CH-CH-CH-CH-CHANGES for the Bears

v Brisbane
In Dusty.
Out Castagna Ross (sub).
v Collingwood
In Dusty
Out Castagna Gibcus (sub).
Ralphsmith and Stacky possibilities to feature later.
The opponent is a big factor. If it’s Collingwood then Gibcus is one tall too many in defence.

It’s pretty simple.

In: Dusty
Out: Ross

It’s unfortunate for Ross but that’s what will happen.

um isn't the whole thing down to Lynch being injured? The AFL site says he has done a hamstring/groin

Does anyone really think Lynch is injured? I'd been joking just before he went off around which of our players would be sat on the bench with ice on something. I'd be surprised if he's actually injured and wasn't managed. I can't see Lynch missing the EF

IN: Martin Stack

OUT: Ross Castagna

SUB: Edwards

Graham may not get up. So Stack.

Baker and Stack to rotate off half back into the centre clearances. This gives us bite in both areas.

DO IT Richmond.

Edit: Stack can play back. Arguably his best spot.
No chance Stack plays Carter. Zero chance.

Comes down to who is sub.

I like MRJ from the first bounce. Give him a proper taste of where needs to get to over the summer.

No to Castagna. Love him but we’ve moved past him.

Finals are played in telephone boxes. Edwards’s hands could be critical in close.

Edwards sub.

Spent his time on the bench in the last qtr with a fair sized bag of ice on the sausage n giblets.
Hopefully it's nothing more serious than resting n rehabbing an annoying n persistent niggle so that he's in best possible shape for our finals in a couple of weeks.
 
Considering we don’t know our opponent and therefore venue and the game is two weeks away, far too early to seriously contemplate this. The only thing that is certain is that someone has to make way for Dusty, I doubt it will be Ross, either, he’s been good.

Dusty would come in for Castagna and Sonsie or Ross would be the sub I'm tipping

It’s great that all the players we are trying to make way for dusty are all offering something.

MRJ pressure. Edwards goal sense. Ross in career best form and using it really well. Gibcus starting to get confidence back. Sonsie using it really well too. Can’t see it outside these five. Good problem and one or two will be really stiff with graham waiting as well.
 
Dusty as the sub and coming on in the 2nd half and tearing it up has a nice synergy with a previous no.4 in 1973/74.

Martin won't be in. If we lucky maybe week later. His injury management has been a disaster
