Changes for the Grand Final.

If his not training today his not getting selected for me

mills in for marsh
And maybe macca for aliir

With a medial ligament strain they were always likely to give him an extra day or two's rest before getting involved again.

Mills & McVeigh on the track for training. No sign of Aliir - may be given an extra day to rest the knee.

That isn't a good sign as far as he is concerned. If there were no probs with his knee he'd be training. eve if they were giving him a fitness test he would be training. But to not even be out there does not bode well.

Are both Mills & Macca doing the full training with the main group? If so they are a chance, if not they aren't.

But of course both clubs will play Ducks & Drakes at this juncture.

Be interesting who comes up. The other problem I have is Macca hasn't exactly been an influence in big matches since 2012. In fact he has been downright missing or just sloppy. It's as though the moment gets to him. He has to prove himself a 'Big Game' player yet. Great in 2012 but nothing since. If Mills & Aliir are proved fit I'd rather go with those & not Macca. I would play Jones, he was wonderful last week. Marsh would be the unlucky one even though he has been good.

X Richards let the nerves get to him early last week but came good and nailed it. Need someone who's been there to calm him down early this week. Job for Bud. Pap seems to be made of the right stuff but I think he played in local GF so sort of been there before except without the mad crowd.

Whoever gets a gig good luck and I hope they all play great games and get their reward. No matter what happens I will probably cry. Hopefully tears of joy not despair. Good luck everyone have a wonderful game.

A reid suprise selection would be awesome

A reid suprise selection would be awesome

He hasn't played a senior game all year and he's a tall. We need fast players against the Bulldogs, not sure if an underdone Reid would be a good choice.

It's a closed session. The media were allowed in for the warm ups only and they tweeted that Mills & McVeigh were involved but no Aliir

Channel 7 chopper footage shows Ted Richards & Sam Reid fully involved in training.

A match winning goal in the 2016 GF. Everyone will forget about all the Reid trade talk!

Mills is only..

coming home in June?

Why on earth would they play a player in a GF who hadn't played a game all year!!! I wouldn't even choose Gary Ablett if he hadn't played all season.

[Hotpotato]

McVeigh contributes heaps in just about every game he plays most importantly in very congested situations and has a cool ability to sidestep and sell the dummy .
Need his coolness under pressure for sure if he comes up .

Maybe put him up for the GF sprint, if he passes the heats, he can play the GF.

If he's blowing up after 100m sprint, don't play him

Oops, should have included this previous quote, meant to refer to the possibility of Reid playing.
