I dare say the mind games have begun, you have to remember what Bradshaw did to Carlton in the elimination final last year.

A new article from The Age is a bit more optomistic
But Bradshaw reported yesterday the knee had pulled up well after the game. He will now consult with the club's medical team early this week to determine whether to continue to push towards breaking into the senior team.
Obviously not a certainty by any stretch, but he's a chance.Comment

This is strange stuff. I can only think the original article where he was quoted was straight after the game where the knee was sore, but it obviously pulled up ok overnight into yesterday. I still think he wont play, but if he does he would be more than handy. The elimination final last year between lions and carlton I remember braddy pretty much dragged bris over the line in that last qtr, they came from around 5 goals down I think. Thats the sort of player he is and he's got plenty of finals experience.Comment

I'm sure that I heard Roos says somewhere (might have been the guys on MMM even) that he played the time the Club wanted him to play and he was taken off. Iced up and they would see how he pulls up over the next few days. Smoke and mirrors at finals is great.In memory of my little Staffy - Dicey, 17.06.2005 to 1.12.2011- I'll miss you mate.Comment

Really? There were times on Saturday when I didn't know where the next goal was going to come from. We needed to really be inventive to find a few - a big experienced key forward just adds so much to any finals team - ask the Dogs!Comment

With the ressies winning their minor premiership, does that mean they don't play this weekend (with a final 5)?
If so, that is a bit of a shame. Assuming his season isn't already over, it wouldn't be a bad idea to get him to play another reserves game and then bring him in IF we get to a SF. If he struggled to get through just over an hour against Belconnen, I'd be wary about bringing him into a cut-throat final against the Blues.Comment

We are getting a good spread of goal kickers at the moment. You may of felt like we were struggling for avenues to goal but we still ended up kicking a good score didn't we.
Bradshaw hasn't played since the ice age and wouldn't be anywhere near 100%. Why not avoid the risk of playing him and continue to back the structure which has worked so well for us over the last 2 weeks.Comment

A key forward can make such a difference in a final but if he's going to break down after 10 minutes then yeah, definitely don't play him.Bloods
