Yeah something to do with his knee I think it was.

Ringo · April 29, 2013, 08:24:08 PM

Had the ice pack on his knee when he was replaced late. Was going to have to face a fitness test to play last week but as you say extra week probably freshened him nicely. Will be keeping an eye out though,

Any thoughts of team selection changes this week ?

I think Simon sounded fairly confident he'll line up this week and i think hanley will as well. be surprising if those 2 get up. I like playing two ruckmen, luey should he could stand well in the forward line

Hanley will return but Vossie did not sound too sure on Simon. Intimated he wanted to give a full game in reserves first but who knows, Hanley will probably replace Clarke. If Black is named I would expect him to get the red vest and he would possibly replace Paporone with Polkinghorne moving forward.

Lisle may come into contention to replace Cornelius as well,

As you say Strikes the Berger/Longer flower Forward combination looked good and would like to see that continue to develop as it will be similar to Cox/Nat for the next 4/5 years.

Docherty out WTF. Voss has given up on this season, and is tanking. If he is coach next year, the suns will be my team. I also hope Cornelius is dropped and Lisle plays forward. He is better than Cornelius.

Hanley had to come in for someone. Doch was the victim. he'll get his chance after we get spanked by 60+ on sunday

I guess.

Mat0369 · May 02, 2013, 08:24:46 PM

I am surprised they didn't play Doch as the sub again at the very least or named emergency. He was straight out omitted which leaves me scratching my head.

Ziplock · May 02, 2013, 10:39:54 PM

most teams wont want to use the same player as a sub too often consecutively (like NM dropping liam anthony) you risk a loss of match fitness.

Ringo · May 03, 2013, 09:30:30 AM

Agree with Zip here Docherty was only playing 2nd game and if being thought of sub better to go back to reserves to retain match fitness especially with young bodies. Suspect Clarke, Yeo and Docherty will be rotated trhough this position for most of the season.

my thoughts are that Lester and Crisp along with one of Paporone/Lisle will miss out on team with Paporone/Lisle sub. May be wrong.

Pleased to see we are sticking with the Berger/Longer duo resting forawrd.

Article.

Brisbane after Buddy..Seems like the list of clubs chasing him grows every few weeks. What do Brisbane supporters think about this?

Ringo · May 05, 2013, 10:20:41 AM

Interesting one Sid

Do not know whether I like the idea or not. Big question is how many years has Brown got left and I think it is right that we are looking for an alternative as despite promising signs from some forwards no one really standing out as the obvious replacement. We are light on for Power forwards so Franklin will fit the bill.

Plays a similar style to Brown and as article says would have 4/5 years left in him. Would welcome him but not at the expense of trading any draft picks or promising youngsters.

strikes91 · May 05, 2013, 12:10:44 PM

I couldn't see him coming to brisbane. i think it's either hawthorn or WA for him

strikes91 · May 05, 2013, 11:21:03 PM

pathetic effort wise again in the 1st quarter. cornellious will feel the wrath of a poor game. expecting lisle to come in. think longer may stay in to help berger against cox and nic nat. black will come in for probably paparone. not sure who impressed in reserves this week but i would think Lisle, Black and goose if fit will play next week

Capper · May 05, 2013, 11:58:32 PM

Saw the boys at Sydney airport tonight after the game and a couple were limping. First quarter killed them.

I dont think they will go after Buddy as he will either go to GWS or Freo if he leaves the Hawks.

ps couldnt believe how tall Burger is, I didnt even come up to his shoulder
