Brisbane Discussion

[Big Berger]

Yup, Mayes is not a defender. Hopefully he won't be used down there much more.

Thought we played well today. Very unlucky. If it wasnt for the umpire, we should have won.

umpiring was bad both ways all night

Yeah, true. The umpiring wasn't great.

[strikes91]

that was sad.

Zorko and Merrett definitely sick as well. Rocky and Patfull must of been bad to get the day off over them

[Ringo]

We only had the 2 travelling emergencies hence the two worst were replaced.

On the bright side more experience into the youngsters - We had 11 of our 22 with 20 or less games experience so was always going to be a struggle.

So for this game these players were on the sideline Rockliff, Patful, Rich. Berger, Staker and maybe McGrath and Maguire who would be in our best 22,  (A total of 871 games experience on the sideline)

Will be a good game after the bye v Carlton at the Gabba and would like our chances if we play like we did last week.

Why?

[strikes91]

Crisp probably played for the reserves

[Mailman the 2nd]

Why?

I thought most clubs let one of the emergencies play in the reserve grade and keep 1-2 left for last minute emergencies

Why?

NEAFL side are playing in Darwin tonight so a combination of factors.

[ossie85]

Pies took 4 players to Adelaide, I find it crazy the Lions didn't have at least 3.

[Ringo]

Remember Brisbane is the AFL financial basket club and not as financial as Pies ;) ;)

Yeh not that uncommon Oss. WA teams only send over 2 travelling emergencies usually so the 3rd can still play in the WAFL that wkend

it's a risky tactic

Yeh agree but I guess something like this virus that swept through Brisbane is a freak occurance. There's usually only one late change in games, if any. And it would be important to get game time into that 3rd emergency for the following week just in case
