[23 YIPPEE!!!]

AFL says McRae as sub.

I just hope they switch it around to mkae Ginny as sub.

Surly Ginny has runs on the board and is front of Fin.

[What'sinaname]

Noble, Ginni and Frampton out

Macrae the Sub

McCrae is not necessarily the sub. He was the previous sub, now out.
I am flabbergasted by these selection decisions. How are both Ginni and Noble not in the team??
We need speed - hence Noble.
We need groundball cunning in F50 - hence Ginni.
I am at a loss.

Ch 7 got it wrong.

Lipinski has been shown faith, he needs to repay in spades

[Ronnie McKeowns boots]

So is Ginnivan or McRae the sub?

[David]

Ginnivan is the sub, RMb.

Noble out stings. Really surprised and, honestly, disappointed by that. Has had a great season and brings a lot to the team. Also breaks a fair run of consecutive games he was putting together, for whatever that’s worth!

Hard to believe he may not be there for the rest of the finals series, barring injuries/suspensions.

[Ronnie McKeowns boots]

He was quiet in the finals last year David...

With Noble dropped is this an indication that Nick is earmarked for a role across half back again when he returns?

For the record Noble is 3rd for meters gained average at Collingwood this season.

2nd for rebound 50's

6th for effective disposals

^Exactly. What are we thinking?? Dropping Noble to me seems borderline crazy.

The return of Darcy Moore headlines the changes made to Craig McRae’s side for Thursday night’s Qualifying Final against Melbourne at the MCG.

Nathan Murphy and Beau McCreery are the other inclusions to the Round 24 victorious side against Essendon.

John Noble, Billy Frampton and Finlay Macrae have been omitted, while live-wire forward Jack Ginnivan will start as the Substitute.

[Take_a_Screamer]

Note Howe is named in the forward line
- put some pressure on May & Lever

This is new compared to the last time we played Melbourne

[masoncox]

3 players are lucky
Sidey Adams and Lip.
All 3 need to step up.
I have given many votes to Noble all year.
So I am a bit pissed off that he has been dropped.

[What'sinaname]

AFL website has Macrae as the sub
