Apparently Hawkins is out,and someone suggested on another site that Cameron is under an injury cloud as well.This gives us a great opportunity to win this.But the players have to be in the right frame of mind to win,something they clearly haven’t been in for the last two weeks.

Yep this. I’m still reeling from the recent pathetic performances and unless there’s an attitude adjustment and brain surgery to eliminate brain fades, I will remain silent in not predicting a win. I am simply still getting over being transported back to 1976 and 1999 days with the type of play that caused pain and killed the joy of us winning. I have finally got over my sulking and sooky sooky la la nonsense but am still very apprehensive about the game.

What I don't understand is if Steele has a long term foot problem that is now playing up - why wouldn't it have benefited while he was recovering from the knee injury?

Sounds like he is perhaps playing with something more serious.

Question you ask is how does he train all week then right before selection meeting he’s declared unfit to play
If your into conspiracies you could imagine there giving him a soft exit from the team instead of saying he’s dropped for lack of form and him finishing his time in the VFL
But that would be for conspiracy theorists

Sidey was seen going for scans after the Hawthorn game. Plus he was one of our better performers in the Hawks game. Nothing other than an injury...

[Magpietothemax]

Selectors have dared to try out the combination of Frampton and Cameron in the ruck, Frampton I assume will be playing mostly in the defensive half. I don't think we have played with this ruck combination before throughout the year...Cameron has either been with Cox (or alone, like last week) This might give the option for us to suddenly swing Howe forward, just to add some variety.
I am sure that we have only selected Murphy because he is fully fit, - there would be no point in risking him.
WHE is a logical replacement for Sidey.
I am really happy to see Ginnivan make the 23. Great to see him back in. Personally i would have preferred to see Ginni in the starting 22 and WHE as the sub, with Lipinski being the outside runner. But his selection as sub means that an opportunity is opening up for him.

^ Good analysis, MTTM. I'm really pleased with these selections too!

[doriswilgus]

Ginny fans will be happy,even though he’s only playing as the sub.

[Dave The Man]
