Seems like Tippet is the million dollar man (almost with $900K salary) with a glass jaw. Maybe play him in a padded helmet like Teddy wore, and Griffiths? from the Tigers and play him mostly forward as he is a good at leading and taking contesting marks.Comment

On the contrary
Tippo signed big first two years so that no one else challenged when we wanted to bring him to Sydney.... then the next two years only on $450-500k pa max
Perfect sal cap management
Tippo can give us more then nanko up front and is worth a shot vs Geelong if we want more goals and to work over their ruckman
Nanko is more then competent nonetheless"be tough, only when it gets tough"

If Tippett says he's right to go then it's a no brainer IN for Nankervis.
Tippett's injury is not like a leg injury that could stop his mobility, that's the kind of injury you don't risk in a final. Let's not forget he played out the GWS game, he was just in discomfort. Tippett is a superior ruckman to Nankervis and poses a much bigger FF threat, I think he'll play mainly FF which gives the Cats more headaches than Nankervis who doesn't seem to take many marks.
Mills will be given another week then replace Marsh at HB for the GF rematch against the AFL Allstars.Comment

Personally, I'm happy enough with the way things have panned out. The Richmond game was no more than a training run - hardly great prep for finals intensity, and the Giants game was probably what we needed (injuries aside) for a reality check.
We also never seem to fire after a bye, so good to have a week off then and not now IMO. Looks like the Cats are also going in a favorites too, which I'm happy enough with. Hopefully they will still be in holiday mode ;-)"My theory is that the universe is made out of stupidity because it's more plentiful than hydrogen" - Frank ZappaComment

Finally the ticket gods have smiled on me! I called the special needs line, the phone was answered by a person and I had tickets and companion ticket for my son all done by 9.11am. I am waiting to see the tickets in my email account just to make sure I'm not in some bad dream!Comment

I tried really hard to get 6 adult tickets plus a junior on two of our memberships. Ticketek wouldn't allow all together so, I've ended up with three batches of tickets, 3 seats, 2 seats and 2 seats, all in separate seats. Bugger! Still, we're in the Prelim! Go bloods!Comment

Yep just saw that also. Would be amazing if they both got up to play. Both being leg injuries tho, we dont want to risk unless at least 90 % right. I think gary rohan is the more important of those inclusions. Reason being is that although he never racks up huge posession numbers, he just does things in a game that not many people can do due to his speed - offensive and also defensive as we saw against the crows. Mc veigh on the other hand, whilst i hope he gets up, could be teplaced by either Mills jones or cunningham....although his experience would be invaluable.Comment

I went onto Ticketek site half an hour ago with trepidation based on all of the bad reports on here and ... low and behold, it was all really easy took 3-4 minutes got four Cat 4 seats on the ground level about 15 rows back just around from the cheer squad. That's where my kids like to sit. All good.
