    And I think the player you were searching for is Tom McDonald.
    You’re right - made correction regarding McDonald.

Not the selection I would have made, just playing devil’s advocate.

    Surely at this stage of the season, after all of Bevo’s moves that we have questioned time and time again (Dale in defence, playing Schache at all after the Tigers game, playing Hannan when he was poop) you just have to trust him.

    As alluded to above, the reason this got out (Most likely) is Gardner telling family. Might not have been leaked by anyone at the club.

    Get on the Cordy for first goal scorer train, it’s on its way to premiership station!
    After reading this the need to vomit hasn’t been lessened.

    Time to go set up the rocking chair and put the straight jacket on.

    To add to the Zaine not forward argument, Schache is coming off a great job v Aliir.

    Okay now that I’ve stopped crying I’m ready to admit that, although this is the objectively wrong decision, if it costs us the game then we frankly don’t deserve it.

    It only took you one hour to come off the ledge!

    Beveridge press conference tomorrow will be interesting.

    Yep, if we play well enough it shouldn’t matter and we should be able to hide Zaine away, but the ability for me to tolerate Zaine being caught out of position at a crucial time and costing us a goal isn’t all that high.

    I don’t understand. I hope by about 11.15pm Saturday I’m educated in the decision.

    It leaking is embarrassing though. Has to be linked to Gardner. I’m assuming Weightman was told he’s not playing, or a second player is being dropped. But that players name isn’t named…

    Also who is his match up? He doesn’t have an obvious one. I’m keenly paying attention to Bevo’s explanation tomorrow.

    I doubt I’m right cos it’s me, but we went with Josh as part of a back 3 at the G against them last time.

    If Ryan’s out, I wouldn’t rule out Naughton & English as the lone tall forwards.

    I think it’s the flexibility to swap Schache and Cordy that Gardner does not offer, plus the competitiveness and finals experience of Zaine. We all know how competitive Cordy was in 2016 albeit as a makeshift forward. If my memory serves me correct he was one of the few who could hold his head high in our elimination final loss to GWS a few years ago as a defender. Cannot recall how well he played vs Saints in elimination final last year as a defender.

    Schache back. Jamarra replacing him up forward. If we’re going to commit, then let’s really commit.

    I reckon that’d be nuts. Schache had a great match up fwd last week. And he played back vs the Dees cause Keath and Gardner were both injured.

    When was the last time Cordy played well forward? Did he do it last year or something?
