Brown's challenge unsuccessful. Jury found his strike was intentional, as charged. He'll now miss two matches, with a bye in between.

So we now lose Brown for 2 weeks as well/

[strikes91]

There was intention but i still doubt the high contact. Jamison played for a free.

[kilbluff1985]

how much you expecting to lose by Ringo?

[BB67th]

Things getting worse and worse for this Friday. On the plus side, when we verse Geelong in a few weeks, they should still be in the top 2, meaning we should get the win against them.

[Ringo]

This weeks changes

In:     Justin Clarke, Patrick Karnezis, Billy Longer,Ryan Harwood,Jack Crisp,Marco Paparone
Out:  Jordan Lisle  (Omitted) , Josh Green  (Omitted) , Jonathan Brown  (Suspension) , Sam Mayes  (Soreness) , Tom Rockliff  (Leg) , Matthew Leuenberger  (Hand)

Whilst some of the changes are warranted can not understand the omission of Lisle and Green.  Green was sub last week and think we need his chase and keeping ball in if we are to cause an upset. Lisle looks good although not outstanding but not getting a real chance to establish himself. Assuming Michael will now be used as back up to Longer.

Think Crisp or Harwood are the vest candidates,

[LF]

So I think we can just about assume whoever gets the vest for Brissy they are going to be dropped the next week.

[Ringo]

Seems to be the pattern doesn't it vest and dropped.

How is the weather now??

[Ringo]

Occasional Heavy Showers come across Windi - Have probably had 2 heavy showers since lunch time.  The Gabba is a good draining ground so may only be slippery on surface.

[Nige]

Does the late mail that Travis Cloke may miss with a virus help at all do you think?

[Ringo]

It may but we have 8 players 20 and under so will not be easy. Future of club on display with Michael, Docherty, Paparone, Longer, Lester, Clarke, Crisp and Yeo all in this category. 

Also we have Baldy as one of the umpires so will not benefit there either - Supporters are having a bet as to when the first 50 metre penalty will be invoked.

[Nige]

Hahaha that bet sounds like a good one!

Yeah, will be interesting to see the young Lions have a go against a pretty good side in the Pies. I really hope it's not a blow-out. Although I have tipped the Pies by 45.  :P

[Windigo]

I'm actually backing the Lions. If it was in Melb, I'd give them little chance.

But a big Friday night clash & an out form Pies outfit in the wet. Could be a boil over....

[BB67th]

Well it looks like Cloke could well be out so you never know, but I'm not giving us too much of a chance with no Leuenberger, Brown or Rockliff. Still it will be a good chance for some of the younger blokes to step up. Looking for a bag from Sammy Michael.

[strikes91]

Worst peformance in a while. Poor coaching again with team selections. Sam Michael is also showing absolutely nothing. why is there hype ?
