AFL Finals 2024 Carlton vs Brisbane in Brisbane

[ElwoodBlues1]

To me Lord, Binns and Moir (as sub only) have earned their right to play. They are fit, unlike others we are likely to go and select. I only have 4 coming back, Harry, Charlie, Zac and Gov. I was blokes fit and in match condition, not misses a big chuck of the year with injury issues. West Coast won the 2018 GF with 6 of their best blokes out. What they did do was go in with a fit side that ran the game right out.

Not playing a bloke that has had 3 knee recos and not played since March, especially in a final, as good as Doc is. The fact he has done 3 makes me think he can be susceptible, especially with just 6 months off. Might be exciting that he might be ready but one needs to be practical. Be absolute hell to pay if he did it again. Too risky.

Agree the kids deserve to play and we need fit and able players only vs Brisbane not ones who haven't played for a while or who are not reliable enough to last 4 quarters on a regular basis.
