He's been a week to week proposition for a couple of weeks with his ankle but has got up for each game so far. Hopefully he's right to go again with week.

That's good to hear stache.

Have to agree. Bevo and the other coaches must be filling the boys with amazing confidence we dont really seem to care what the opposition does as we play our own race and the have to deal with us. Its beautiful to see really

If given time & space Brisbane can be dangerous, but if our pressure around the contest is good and we push back in transition we should win this one pretty comfortably.

But if we allow the likes of Hanley, Christensen, Zorko & Rich room to play in then we could be in for a tough game.

I'm throwing Lewis Taylor into that mix as well. He has improved again since last year - and is really forward and attacking with possession now (rather than getting out wide and then chipping short to other uncontested options sideways as was his tendency last season).

Becoming an excellent footballer.

Contested ball is where to get this mob .
They are very ordinary, and our numbers are off the charts .

Caleb Daniel has withdrawn from the team with calf tightness. McLean comes back in.

Why rest a player and then recall him?

Disappointed about Caleb.

He was named as an emergency too which was weird to begin with. Maybe he was always likely to play.

Hoping Honey comes in for McLean.

Well, I was. Deserves his chance, but if he was a chance, he'd have gotten the nod.

Caleb out with calf tightness is the reason given.

[always right]

Re: Match Committee - Round 5 2016 vs Brisbane Lions

Hmmmm....calf tightness? Wood missed two weeks with hamstring tightness. I'm tipping a calf strain.

Ridiculous for a second year player...but Caleb is a significant loss.

Second year players can get injured!

Wood may have had tightness that lasted for two weeks. He's had issues his entire career save last year, and he's having to play with less rotations. If he had a strain given his history I'd be livid if he didn't miss three at least.

Young kids tighten up, he's been on for weeks.
