    Possibly
    In: Leo
    Out: Macca

    Where will he be playing? The reserves report said he was playing at fullback yesterday. Bolton, Grundy and LRT have been playing very well, and the Cats don't have a big forward line. White, O'Loughlin and Goodes was a great combination yesterday, and I still have bad memories of Leo playing up forward

    What's wrong with Macca????

    I'd rather see Ablett or Barlow given the heave-ho.
    Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
    Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.

    Macca injured himself, and is very doubtful.

    Very doubtful to play again this season. No chance for next week.

    Leo used to be a very handy forward. So wing, heading towards goals perhaps. Wouldn't want to mess with the established backline at this stage.

    Macca's suspect hammy came unstuck. Apparently he gave the back of the dugout a beating with his fist, a very specific indication of how bad things are.

    Is there an injury management problem here? What was Macca doing playing with a suspect hammy? This was the ideal match to give him a week off.
    He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team. (John Updike, seeing Josh Kennedy in a crystal ball)

    Barlow's been in great form recently. He had a shocker yesterday, but even in the second half he started to work himself back into it. He's a confidence player, and needs to know that even if he has the occasional bad game he's got a spot for the time being. It was once the selectors showed some faith in him and played him for a few games in the first place that his form took a turn for the better. The main thing a confidence player like Barlow needs is a bit of security.
    Officially on the Reid and Sumner bandwagon!

    Barlow's been getting 17+ touches a game for the last couple of months, as well as being a regular goal scorer. He's not going anywhere.

    It's frustrating, after all the care that has gone into soft tissue injuries in the Misson years, to have this sort of injury when (as far as I can tell from a distance) it needn't happen and Macca could've had more time to R&R.
