Will we see Bradshaw and LRT in against the Lions?

and if so, who misses out?

LRT in for mummy with to play back up ruckman to Pyke as well as full back

Bradshaw??? dont know i would hate to see rohan, TDL, or meredith out for Bradshaw

Already we will need to fit Moore, O'Keefe so i cant see where bradshaw would fit in

If Bradshaw comes in I wouldn't mind White playing a bit in the ruck.

Braddy and LRT are due back in the first week of finals.

I love selection dilemas like this. It means we have depth.

Braddy and LRT are due back in the first week of finals.

I really would love to see them both (but especially Bradshaw) play a game before the finals. If fit they both have to play, we can't forget the form Bradshaw was in before getting re-injured.

We'll know if we have to win or not for a home final before we play (hawks, freo and carlton play before us). So assuming Pies beat hawks, we should play bradshaw and lrt and give them only 50 minutes or so. Use it as a conditioning game.

Bradshaw should know the ground and may have the goodwill of the crowd... he won't have played for a few months, but wasn't that the case at the start of the season ? There's also a role for White as part time-ruckman in case the triple big forward strategy isn't working.

OTOH LRT may be needed to help wrangle Brown, but I think he'd have to be fitter than Bradshaw would be for his role.

This end of the season reminds me of my dad - talking about orienteering races in his over-70s class, "its not about who is injured, its about whose injuries are in remission".

Bradshaw??? Who??? Pfft I would be very surprised if he played any of the remaining games, I have given up on having him in the team for this year. LRT for Richards is the obvious choice.

Apparently Bradshaw to the seconds, LRT another week.
