Next Week ...

[annew]

So long as West Coast beat Essendon by the time we play it won't matter other than determining who we will play first week of the finals so maybe resting Everitt is an option. Could be Syd V Colllingwood again first week of finals and I reckon with a better back line we can beat them. We played terrible last night, had a weak back line, dodgy umpiring and still only lost by 25.

So why did they let him play on?? It looked nasty from the start, I thought a quick trip to the hospital for precautionary reasons would've been the best move.

As for ins: Dempster, Schmidt and LRT/Grundy

According to Doc Larkin, MOL bruised his lung and burst some blood vessels also in the lung, hence the spitting up blood.

MOL was spitting up blood when he came to the I/c after his mark. Not sure if it was from a mouth injury, or from internally, was certainly struggling, when on the bench.

Brennan could barely walk when taken off, so I'd assume he is gone for what is left of the season.

And Buchanan, is most probably gone for a week or two.

Leo, LRT, Schmidt, Moore.

The first three will definitely be out - since they were talking about Brennan's injury being at least a 3-4 week injury and Magic's back.

I think they'll play Spider purely because of the Hawks factor even if he's 70% fit.

Leo, LRT, Schmidt and Dempster to come in.

[bigswan]

I hope Leo is right. Add Dempster or LRT and Schmidt or Moore. If Leo is not right they might need to bring in Vogels or Grundy. They have to add more height to the backline.

Who will come in??

Buchanan is out, Brennan is probably gone, Possibly O'Loughlin too and Crouch (groin) and Everitt (Back) were on the bench at the end of the game ... that's a lot of new players necessary ...

schmidt must be back, maybe dempster and hopefully leo but who else??
