If the rain hold off, it sounds like decent conditions for footy.The game is a twilight one I think. Couldn't ask for anything better weather wise tbh. 20% chance, if it does, it will likely be light. At least it's not a blazing north or northwesterly wind, which would make the temperature soar. At least the weather will be decent for us. We need just one piece of luck here. What happens after that, fingers crossed.

Carl v GWS grand final, like the sound of that

Everyone has dismissed our loss to them as no big deal. Players out, no incentive, etc., but I’m not buying any of it.
They dismantled us, pure and simple, like they did to Port last night.
Probably a Lions + Giants GF. BooHoo AFL.
Whilst I'm backing our boys until the final siren. I wouldn't be surprised at Lions v Giants GF. Giants are on a roll. Anywhere. Anytime.

Cuningham, Fogarty have been lucky charms since returning and Motlop hasnt done anything wrong either plus does Hollands stay as sub ahead of any of the other candidates to be dropped?
Im presuming Docherty plays....
Maybe Owies? Love the boy but made 3 or 4 really bad errors which may cost him.
Re: AFL 2023 Preliminary Final Carlton vs Brisbane Pre Game Prognostications - kruddler - 09-17-2023
A lot of people calling for Owies head and you can kinda see why because someone with talent will have to miss out, so why not a small forward.
I'm not sure i would agree with that.
He is one of our best kicks for goal. Always seem to hit the scoreboard.
Fun fact:
In our last 11 games, he has kicked 1 goal in 6 of those matches......and 2 goals in the other 5!
Before that he had 2 weeks where he didn't score a goal.
The first 5 he played for the year (keeping in mind he missed r4-8) he kicked 11 goals in 5 matches.
Another fun fact:
Owies is =2nd on our goal kicking list this year. He is equal with Harry, despite playing 2 games less!
People say we must play Harry.
Stats say we must play Owies.

I'd prefer Jack if we went another tall.
I'm well aware that Vossy won't be having any of that.
My changes would be.....
In: Martin, Silvagni (or Harry as Vossy would do)
Out: Hollands, Marchbank,
Kennedy to be demoted to sub
Jack is not match fit as Voss said last week. As much as I want to see him play and he bleeds blue blood, I think he may not play again this year bar an injury to MP or TD. The only way I see him playing is as the sub.
Also, I remember his dad SOS missing out on the finals in 94 and playing a pivotal role in 95. So maybe history repeating itself??
I reckon Harry must play as he will be the link up the ground and will not get any shorter as the game wears on.
Plus he could turn it on and kick a bag which will give Brisbane heart ache, and they will still have to cover Charlie.
Charlie and Harry have not yet both fired together so there is always this week.
I reckon Cunners or Owies will be one of the outs with Hollands as the sub.
He virtually won us the game on Friday in the last, and that maybe enough to get him over the line.

An away trip with a shorter turnaround time than pies v gws.
Ffs afl
So they can return on the same day and prepare for next week if we make it and not have to stay overnight.

Oh I would love for them to beat the Pies. And I think they can do it.
