Elimination Final v Carlton - Including Teams

[aardvark]

The one thing I do like on the site is Mavs avatar.

The nagging doubt would also be that Reids impressive debut was against a team that is pretty ordinary to say the least. I seem to remember a fellow called Ed Barlow was being proclaimed as the next Adam Goodes after an impressive debut against Brisbane a few years ago.

Wash your mouth out. How dare you mention Sam and that other bloke in the same sentence. 10 week ban I reckon.

I hope we don't play Mummy if he's not close to 100%. We have a reasonable chance of getting through, and if we do we'll need him. Pyke and White can handle the centre bounce. Reid is the hard one; I agree it's a pity he didn't debut before last week, but (1) he obviously knows what he is doing, (2) he is flexible enough to be back, forward or do the odd ruck around the ground, and (3) if he is going to get some finals experience, this is the match to do it.

What's wrong with mentioning Goodesy

Former Reserves coach Brett Allison's preview:


Beware the strangle - AFL.com.au

He plumps for Reid, but doesn't think his former colleagues will go that way.

A year away from a club is a long time isn't it....

Young Nick Smith is a really good chance to hold his place in the side this week

...FFS, he's almost first man picked, hardly a good chance to hold his place.

I thought the whole notion of us as a dour strangling side is also not quite on the money now. A bit disappointed in that article to be honest.

Yarran, Browne, Anderson omitted from the Blues. Yarran Senior Emergency.

Wow Yarran didn't see that one coming. Any news on the Swans?

[Triple B]

Emg: Rohan, Reid, MOD

Emergencies: O'Dwyer, Reid, Rohan

BUT this doesn't mean one of them won't play.

Reid and Rohan out, as expected.

MOD's playing in Canberra so you can rule him out.

[Nich]

Yep!

[JudesaGun]

So much for Carlton's three speedsters being the key to victory. They must be worried about the wet weather to leave Yarran out.

Same logic with Moore I suppose - tougher body. Though I seem to remember Rohan playing a great game in the wet this year.

[Nich]

It was against Fremantle. He was pretty damn good that day.

Would have enjoyed seeing Reid and Rohan.....oh well there's always next year.
