Round 8 Team Announcements

[PICCOLLO]

Wells, Adams, Laird, JPK on the pine.  It's taken the dilemma out of which rookies to field.  Answer: All of them!

No Barlow or Houli is a god-send

[Grazz]

Any news on Houli? Serious enough to warrant a trade? Not happy with him as is

This is all I can find mate: Houli suffered the injured during training on Thursday morning and will see a specialist to determine the full extent of the injury.
Doesn't sound great if he needs to see a specialist, should know more next week as to how bad it is and how long.

Anyone else have 6 premiums on the bench?

Laird, Houli, JPK, Wells, Barlow, Greene...

Will have to keep Mills and trade out Adams now to avoid a donut. Hating life!

That's horrid luck MC, all you can do is laugh it off mate and show the footy Gods they can't crush your spirit.
6 prems on the bench is about as bad as iv'e seen this week, ouch.  :(

[Bones Bombers]

Houli out puts me down to 2 playing benchies, both in the mids so only 1 Emg.
Now have Houli, Adams, Davis, R3 Wyatt, Barlow and Wells all sitting there doing nothing!

[js19]

Bailey Williams debuting for the dogs - hoping he plays well and keeps his spot. A D/M rookie could be good!

Terrible luck mate, especially with Houli and JPK's past durability probably playing a factor in your process of selecting them in the first place... Cannot remember Greene being injured either

[Gigantor]

No changes for Essendon North game.
This Goldy being out hype is getting ridiculous!

[Jesty]

Hopefully he kicks a bag today.

Starting on the bench tho LOL

[Jesty]

TOG could be an issue. Mini rest for Goldy?
Maybe not a good VC choice.

[GoLions]

Rumour has it that he'll be using his non-preferred arm today, so definitely wouldn't make him VC or C

[shaker]

Sheridan out

[Ringo]

Green and Matthieson did not start in NEAFL today so maybe some late changes for Lions.

[LordSneeze]

Peter Wright out, replaced by Henry Schade for Gold Coast.

[Koop]

Green and Matthieson did not start in NEAFL today so maybe some late changes for Lions.

Had a feeling Mathieson might've been a chance for a late inclusion after he was said to debut and then wasn't named.

LATE CHANGES
Brisbane Lions: Dan McStay replaced in selected side by Josh Green
