Lynch !!

Lynch not playing opens up the curve ball situation a little, partly based on how dull and average Chol was against the Crows.
That has to be a worry. I don't bag players, but having said that, Chol last week was way out of his depth.

Maybe if he got a rocket he will play better on Friday night. Hope so.
 
The first hammy I did I knew it straight away, was like being shot. I tore it proper. Was in a semi-final we lost so I didn't play for six months, but I reckon I would have missed a month.

And wouldn't you know it, 17 years later I did it again. Playing cricket, stretching for a second run for a bloody tail-ender!

You might risk it in a PF, but this is what the double chance is for, so we don't have to take risks.

We are still capable of winning, Brisbane are still capable of beating us.

Would be good if Chol puts in one of his better efforts.

Won't surprise me if Andrews is out, my impression was a more severe injury.

I hope he hasn't re-tweaked it. Doubt we'd be saying if he did either.

Given he trained, I think they're just being super cautious and feel that we can win without him. Plus we've been burnt in previous finals playing blokes who aren't fit.

Worse case scenario.
They should've done a 'late withdrawal'
Keep the old codger guessing.
Not sure, why they would make a call so early in the week.
Maybe its worse then the expected or they are taking the precautionary approach.
Now i have to put all my energy into convincing myself Chol can stand up and play a role.

Yep. We need Caddy in the Townsend role.
Not so sure. Absent Evan, I don’t put it beyond S Martin throw his weight into to trying to put us out of the game by causing injury to Nankervis, perhaps to that same area, which has caused him problems in the past.
That would require Dima to take Noah away from a position where he has consistently done well, and rely on Astbury, who is not yet match fit, messing with us badly.
Broad is not the answer.
Chol or maybe Miller both have size and speed compared to anyone else available.
 
No Ivan and Tom leaves us down our two monsters.

We will have to bring the full travelling chaos show

Which shouldnt be a problem

So tempting to make Balta second ruck, such an upgrade on Chol. However we know it is not Dimmas style, so we will just have to pray that Chol makes his first final a blinder!
