Brisbane Discussion

Yes Tabs Berger is a tall man - Longer not that much shorter either.  Would really like to see these 2 develop into a Cox/Nat duo.

Most clubs usually have a few players limping after games due to the amount of running and body contact that ocurrs in a game.

@strikes91 agree that Cornelius will wear the wrath. Black will come in after playing in reserves but Staker is probably 2 weeks away.
The issue is the standard in the NEAFL as shown by Brisbanes best Players ranked in order by NEAFL Stats - Docherty (BOG), Sam Michael (must be knocking at promotion from Rookie List), Ryan Harwood, Richard Newell, (also on Rookie List) Jack Crisp, Jordan Lisle. So not a lot who have not been tried.
Would really like to see Voss settle on a side and stop the revolving door (even if it means getting well beaten) to allow players to establish themselves. Based on previous selections Lester will probably be dropped this week.

Game yesterday showed we can be competitive one on one but the class between a top 4 side showed in that the third player to the one on one contests was a Swan player and this where we really have to improve along with our disposal efficiency.

Can not believe we did not persevere with the Dual Ruck combo of Berger/Longer for another couple of weeks especially coming up against Cox/Nat this week. But given some of the selections this year nothing surprises.

I am not very keen to see voss get walked. he's killing careers at the club.

Blacks sub. Not really surprising

[nrich102]

Great to see Blacky getting a run  :)

Will write my thoughts on the game when I cool down a little after so so umpiring.

[strikes91]

Agree, horrible officiating.

With Voss saying Stakes is a possibility play this weekend who makes way:

Clarke has been used as a Tall defender taking 2nd tall forward - Played on Natanui and Cox as resting forwards last week.  So team structure may dictate he stays unless Maguire is fit.
Mayes - Playing across half back line where Staker may slot in.
Lester - Was subbed last week and another on HB line.
Yeo - Solid but not outstanding
or do we use his 196cm as a forward maybe replacing Bewick.

Think the decision may be between Lester and Yeo although who knows with match committee selections these days,

[kilbluff1985]

who will Raines get this week?

who will Raines get this week?

At a guess KB I would say Watson.

Yeo is in his way

Seen Lester with ice on it at the ground Strikes but nothing official coming down the club in the injury update so suspect may have been precautionary and maybe even the reason he was subbed out unexpectedly. Like most probably carrying a niggle or 2.

Must say I am a bit surprised with dropping of Green for Staker.  Stakers return is welcomed but I think we are losing a bit of pace and forward pressure by dropping Green.

Hope not another selection blunder,
