Changes for R23 v Blues

[Sandrevan]

If Naismith is fit then I suspect he will come in for Sinclair. A bit stiff for Sinclair but they would want to get some game time into Sam before the finals.

The only other change would be Towers out (sorry Barry) and Newman in - also to get some game time before the finals.

Last year Towers did not play in any of the finals.

My sources tell me that someone has been in Longmire's office all week weeping inconsolably. I'm not sure if it was Dean Towers or barry. Maybe both.

Coincidence or not, Allir was cutting up onions only moments before. Him and Deano are always fooling around. Clowns.

Horse has stated in a loud enough voice for all to hear who wanted to hear, that he will make up some competition to decide who we keep out of Allir and Talia. Strong rumor that it will be a bomb-alaska cook off. Can't wait. I love the sublime complexity of bomb alaska., And it tastes good too. Hayward to judge.

Woah no one saw this coming

Emergencies are Foote, Laidler and Robbo.

[Doctor]

Good move if they're a bit sore to give them a couple of weeks off.

Haven't we had 4 or 5 players with a hip injury this year? What's going on??

Am going to miss watching Papley ????.

So Naismith goes into the finals with no match practice!?

[ugg]

According to the team selection video,
Papley suffered a jarred knee during the Crows game and didn't train all week. Hanners carrying a hip injury for a few weeks and was touch and go for the Crows game. Didn't train this week either.

That's a lot of hardness missing in those changes, but best to rest them to ensure they are right for the finals. Saw Paps go down in the game but he finished strongly so hopefully only a bit of soreness.

Sam can play in the NEAFL finals next weekend......and so can Kurt, maybe, if the coaches want more game time in him.

[Blood Fever]

Probably more than a bit sore given top 4 still theoretically in play. Hope the two weeks off will be enough. Surprised Naismith isn't back in . Longmire I think said he was fit earlier in the week.

It sort of makes it easier to get our finals team set. When Hanners and Papley come back in 2 weeks it will be easier to drop Towers and Hayward. Then we will only be an Aliir for Sinclair swap away from our best side.
