From Scott Watters presser after training: "We're hopeful Reid will be able to play but at this stage it's unlikely".
After reading this I feel pretty confident Ben WON'T play tomorrow!

Regarding bringing someone in from outside the 3 emergencies named haven't the got a cut off time if a player is injured I'm pretty sure they do and have done it in the past.

If we do bring someone from outside the 3 named I have a sneaky suspicion it will be Cam and Leroy will play down back!

But they will be watching the weather forecast closely as if it's wet like they are predicting we will go in "shorter" with lots of run in mind!

If this is the case and Reidy does miss then I guess we'll be sending L Brown to play on Lynch with Maxwell loose helping him out. The rest of our structures should be okay, just with one less Tall Forward which won't hurt if it is raining (please please please rain!).

Hopefully Fasolo gets the gig if Reid goes out, don't see why we'd need Buckley unless we expect him to play on a tall. O'Brien MUST play on LeCras.

I guess Leroy goes back, he has taken caketin head before , so he should be able to give Lynch a decent crack! spewing I hope Chopper is okay!

With the wet weather it might be serviceable to bring in another small, the Eagles may have to look at their structure as they have a few talls in there.

Yeah, Yeah I know I am going to get a pasting for this one but I actually would like a return to hard footy....send in Leroy.....run through as many as he can and put em in a whole world of pain!

Prelim......In Reid, out Brown (sus)

lol

of course I don't condone this sort of behaviour but I reckon he could do it much better than that pussy Lynch tried to do against Port when he was up for retirement!

Cheers

Lucky we are only playing West Coast, but 3 weeks should be enough time for Reid to be fit for the Prelim, need him desperately against the Hawks

Have you all NOT been watching all our games ? 2011 has shown us that we can anyone out and we can cover it. We do NOT rely on individuals. No drama if he does or does not play. We built our club to have great depth - dont be afraid if the depth players are used - they have been doing there job and are reliable.

Making Brown play in the backline last week is becoming more significant. It was great to see him get a good run
