Changes for Semi Final V Hawks

[Chilcott]

I don't think Rohan and Hannebery will be available this week. However, Mumford should be OK. Based on that, hear are my changes.

Out - Rohan, Hanners.
In: Gordon, Malceski.

Unfortunately, I don't think Grundy will be right this week. Bird & Kennelly to keep their spots.

I noticed that J Kennedy limped off in the last quarter. Anyone else notice this? Is he OK?

If Bird doesn't have a big pre-season, he will struggle in 2012, with the likes of Lamb and Mitchell as replacements.

[31 hard at it]

Jetta needs to watch a how Rohan uses his speed to be an effective player. Then he will be valuable. Gary with Spang has added a desperation to the forward line that results in more goals and fewer turnovers.

Hanners has played with that type of injury before. While they look pretty painful, many players play on with popped shoulders. It was his good shoulder so I reckon they will tape it up and play the kid! Worst case if Parker came in for a full game i'd be happy.

Rohan has a tendency to cramp and Horse mentioned his knee problems seemed to be a combination of a few things. After the match he seemed fine in his movements so fingers crossed. Still a worry though. Maybe the RC can do some extra work with Gaz on his legs : ) As his workloads continue those skinny Rooster pins need some RC strengthening. Maybe let Jetts tag along in those sessions

No changes!

Kennedy has been having "help" to get on the field since early this year with a knee injury.

And from the AFL's Patrick Keane -

Jude Bolton reaches AFL life membership after 278 premiership games, 20 pre-season games, 1 match for Australia.

So if we want to get smart about it - Jude is playing his 300th game this Friday as well!!! Ha!

First time poster. Went down to Etihad on Saturday and coming down again on Friday. Thought it was a good idea to start posting!

Just got 2 tickets in M52 in the Olympic Stand.

I reckon Rohan will play as the sub this week. Parker will be in the 21.
Maybe Moore comes in if Hanners doesn't play. Slow I know, but he's good under pressure.
What I hope .....
Kennelly out
Gordon in

Good stuff! Welcome.

It kept trying to give me N52 on Level 2, and I know thats a Swans supporter area because I think that's where I was last year for the Bulldogs SF.

Here's hoping M52 is also Swans.

You know I sat in the middle of a West Coast bay in the 2006 GF and I loved every second of it (except the result of course). Nothing like your team wining while you're sitting with the opposition!

Does it count if on Saturday we went to the Pies v Eagles match and gave it to Collingwood supporters with our red and white gear on

Saw that and will definitly be there. Can't reply I don't think in the Finals Forum due to lack of posts?

Was in Aisle 40 on Saturday, terrific atmosphere. And abused Brian Waldron as he was leaving, who was sitting in the row in front!

Training is on at 11am this morning. Damn I was slow to check. I would have headed out otherwise. RWO spies - keep your eyes out for the injured.
