Round 16 Team Announcements

Don't know why so many are surprised

Many players have had finger injuries, been listed as 3-4 only to come back in 1-2

Put on a glove, good to go. It's only a finger!

Putting his life in danger if he comes back too early.  I've heard of injured fingers spontaneously combusting if they get leather poisoning.

Nah, he will never be like Danger, he spontaneous combusts every week

[Peter]

Except for Currie - listed now as 4-5 weeks away, when was 1-2 last week

[Raiden]

Pretty happy that Brand has been named again, really need him to gather a few possessions & clunk some contested marks to continue to hold his spot.

[PICCOLLO]

Reports and the man himself have said he wont play.

Barlow out.

[RaisyDaisy]

Scott will wait until teams are submitted this afternoon to reveal if Daniel Wells and Jarrad Waite will return.

Waite trained with teammates today but Wells wasn’t on the track for the early part of the session when media were present.

[RaisyDaisy]

Scott also said something like "We'll name our team tonight as per regulations, and then finalise it tomorrow" so even if Wells is named you'd want to make sure you have cover

Taylor Adams and Fasolo also back this week

Jordan Foote also elevated for Tippett and is in line to debut tomorrow night

[Raiden]

Gee, Wells is starting to really frustrate me now... Let's hope his named & play's.

[Judd Magic]

Happy for Wellls to miss a few more weeks now that I don't have him anymore. <insert evil laugh here>  ;D

BRISBANE Lions rookie Reuben William will make his debut on Saturday against Gold Coast.

William, 18, is of South Sudanese origin and was taken by the Lions in last year's NAB Rookie Draft at pick no.20.

The running defender has spent the season in the NEAFL and was upgraded to the senior list in place of injured star Dayne Beams.

He is a product of the Lions Academy and is quick, evasive, loves to take the game on and is a strong tackler.

William was part of Queensland's successful under-18 team last year and was given the news of his debut by Lions captain Tom Rockliff on Thursday.

"I really don't know what to say. I wasn't really expecting this so it's caught me a bit off guard," he said.

"I'll go out there and put on the jumper with pride."

[Huttabito]

31 changes to Fri/Sat teams.
9 confirmed outs for Sun teams.
