honestly i didnt think he would get up for this game....
when he did the injury i thought it might be the season to be honest...pretty nasty :(
so dempster still needs to be replaced......but with who, another defender, or shuffle the possies around and bring x in, while moving someone else to the back pocket?

u never know.....fiora might get a game :o

X and Jack were amongst best on ground for the scorps.
but wouldn't think they'd bring Jack in for his first in a final. would they?

I think he'll come in for Dempster. Provides some run (when he gets it), can be accountable (Bateman).

I think RL has more faith in him to stick to a task than most other fringe players that are fit ATM.

That's assuming that X is not match fit enough for a final which I think would be the case.

Cannot use Fiora in dempsters role... He is our worst negative/defensive player in the squad...

Fiora is not what we need in a final... He will let as down as ever... Hasnt performed in the 2's either, so has no form...

Well one question is how fit is X?

Second question was in the Casey game where did he play?



Next question is who will we play on Ablett, Chapman and Stokes?

I think CJ and Birss will play a role.

If Lyon wants another option he may recall Mini. I don't think L Fisher will be recalled.

Gram and BJ to play as mids.

X can slot into the forward line and midfield rotations.

Forward Line:

Milne Kosi Gwilt/Charlie
X Roo Schneider

Backline:

Blake Max CJ/Birss
Gilbert Sam Raph

Sad about Bally, but??? Undoubtably we need some match fit blokes in the middle for this one.

From all accounts X is up and firing! :D

I Ross even contemplates bringing Fiora back, I will hunt him down and shake some sense into him. He is the first to be let go at seasons end IMO. And don't even contemplate using him as trad bait, unless we want Cain Ackland and hia contract back.

are you saying you would pick an Aaron Fiora over a 70% fit Luke Ball this weekend??
hypothetical situation obviously.

i'd take an underdone star over an ineffective never-was into a final everyday of the week.

X looked sensational at the weekend in the VFL.

Looked fit, switched on and very slick.


Must be selected this week.
