Q is do you do it from a sub or one of the 22?

I still view Ruscoe would have been a better inclusion / match-up than playing both WHE and Oleg.

Have they confirmed he will debut?

Tend to agree on Ruscoe

Tough match up for the Pies.

Carlton will rely on their two power forwards to overwhelm our defence.
They will try and make it a contested in-close tussle
They will hope Saad gives them run off half back.

a) Moore and Murphy will have to negate their power forwards
b) Mitchell and Adams will match their work in the packs
c) McCreery will play a shut down role on Saad

All sounds so simple, but reality can be a different beast. Go Pies.

Carlton also beat WC by over 100 points. Take that out of the equation and it looks even worse for them.

Of course, each gamer on its merits, but they are starting % wise ~5 goal a game worse side than us.

Must be Friday a couple of our players all of a sudden have the flu.
They are Ginny and Johnson.
Always the wat flue Friday.

I notice each and every friday this season a player or 2 has the flu.

Was on the 12 noon 3AW news.

All the new reader said they have the flu and missed training this morning and are in doubt.

Cold n flu tablets and they're good to go.... it's not like they're missing a limb.

Yep good old flu fridays.

We could have a segment on which players have it every friday.

Also i notice that theres always 2-3 players missing training sessions.

The media latch onto it then automatically they are in doubt for the next match.

...and Cameron has not yet been locked in.

I predict no changes to the selected team. I also expect a bruising encounter with a few injuries being sustained. With the head thinking, and hands in the praying position

Carmichael in for Ginny
McInnes in for Johnson

Providing they dont come up from this man flu thing.

Ginnivan and Johnston both have manflu (might be in doubt) still a few days to go. Manflu is a very serious medical condition:

Has any of our players missed a game due to this flu thing

I wonder if Harrison gets his chance if Ginnivan doesn’t get up?

Potentially need to make room for Cameron. That could be Ginni. Think we’d need another to fit in Harrison. Hope they don’t debut him as a sub - hate that.
