It about the winning side that we play next week and if Brisbane win I am tipping that Max will get a gig...

But thanks for your valued input :roll:

nah its all good..one of em will be playing us in a prelim final next week so it can stay :-)

Drummond and Adcock are huge ins for Brissy. Might be a bit closer than I thought

Still reckon the Doggies might be a shade too good. Brissy pretty sore after that game last week..plus factor in travel and a 6 day break

The Lions in Reincarnated's opinion. The dogs have no good tall forward, one average ruckman and a below average vfl ruckman

Yeah, Mitch Clark is in good form and if Drummond and Adcock hold up I just have a feeling that we will play Brisbane in the Prelim.

I hope Max gets a gig on Bradshaw if Brisbane win

So you are happy for Zac to be dropped. Surely he has done as well if not better than max this year and deserves a crack at bradshaw.

Even if we did not have Max in reserve Reincarnated would be crapping his/her's/gt's pants with the idea of Zac lining up on either of those players ever again

Bradshaw was moved to fullback to assist against Roo and Kosi as the Lions had concerns.

Zac has looked increasingly lost in games as the year as progressed. He too easily loses his man in and out of traffic, this is not a good thing

If that boy costs us a flag he is dead

Then it must be Blake because we will not play Blake, Zac and max in the same side again this year.

RL stated the Max is still a chance this year in playing.

I believe that Brisbane is the side that RL was thinking about (just my opinion)

Brisbane is a far taller side than the Bulldogs and maybe all those three will play at the expense of may be Eddy or Clarke.

So please tell me why you think that we will not play Blake, Zac and max in the same side again this year???

It surely depends on match ups and I feel that Max is more suited to Bradshaw than Zac and that Zac is more suited to Notting

If Max is suited to Bradshaw then Zac will not play. He isnt going to play on Notting. They will not have those 3 in the same side again. It stops our run from the backline.

Well that's your opinion and good on you, but I feel that if Brisbane wins Max may get his chance.

I really don't see any other match up that RL was referring to.

Maybe we will just have to wait and see who wins and take it from there :wink:

Not a bad side the Lions have put in,whether they all play is another thing. If they're 100% fit then they are capable of pulling one out of the hat and winning this if the dogs choke.

However I expect the dogs to win by about 40.....if so hopefully 3-4 key injuries in the process. Namely Cross,Higgins,Akermanis and Lake

I'm thinking dogs.

More of an experience thing than match ups.

How are they experienced? They have played in 1 preliminary final in 11 years and have barely played finals often

Just because all their players are in the media defined 'mature group' doesn't mean they are experienced at all.

I'm still thinkin the dogs.... it looks more likely that the crows will beat the pies too, and hopefully soften up but not beat the cats in the prelim.

No doubt that on papaer the Bulldogs should win, and thats where my money will be. Brisbane are not without their chances of course, there good players are very capable of having a huge impact, Brown, Bradshaw, Black, Power, Rich, Johnstone, Sherman, Adcock and Drummond. Handy names.

Hill getting dropped was a surprise to me, thought he pulled out of a couple of contests last week but was to important to drop. A lot of people had him as an important impact player for the doggies finals campaign???


Maybe this year?

They experienced a loss against Geelong in a final last week, and will be desperate to redeem themselves in the knowledge that their coach's head will explode if they don't.

I personally think the Dogs, maybe a little too quick for Brisbane (though I admit I haven't really watched Brisbane this year) and both teams tend to finish well so I think Dogs will get up at the startand Lions probably won't be able to catch them after that.

I'm hoping for a win to either side at a crippling cost, well not too crippling, just crippling enough for the following week's game.


Except for the sanity nothing much has been lost.
