Carlton's Bryce Gibbs credits a return to the heart of the midfield for producing two of the games of his career in the Blues' two biggest matches so far this AFL season.

Gibbs, sometimes criticised as an outside player who trades off his sweet kicking more than ball-winning, has answered those doubts in impressive fashion over the past two weekends.

In Sunday's comeback elimination final win over Richmond, his 27 disposals included 18 contested possessions and 12 clearances.

He comfortably led every other player on the ground in both of those categories.

Both were also career highs for Gibbs.

I can't see how we win, so if I were MM I would mess with the line up big time.
Not a likely scenario IMO

Goodes out for the season apparently. Hoping McLean is a late inclusion.

Harry Cunningham is a young midfielder who played a couple of games in the latter half of this season.  Biggs played his only game in R23. Sydney is obviously going for the vibrancy of youth to cover their injured players!

Haha I can't believe they selected Biggsy!

One of my weekly feature articles for One Week At A Time is called the 'Cherry Pops' and gives a summary of everyone selected for their first career games in any given week.

Biggsy got three write ups before he actually got to run onto the field, and was dropped the week after his debut game. So they've selected a guy with a total career of 1 game to play a do-or-die semi final :P.

Shane Biggs first mentioned here:

http://www.oneweekatatime.com.au/afl-cherry-pops-round-18/

And again the week after here! I quoted Whitney Houston in his write up that week.

http://www.oneweekatatime.com.au/afl-cherry-pops-round-19/

And for the third time, when he finally did make his debut, the Editor lost the article I sent so his write up never went public. If you want a copy, I have it in MS Word format on my laptop haha.

Hope that helps give some sort of clarity to at least one of their random-seeming inclusions :P

Just glad I'm old enough to have enjoyed the 1995 Grand Final

McGlynn is a handy out for us!

He can be very dangerous around goal.

You'd think that Meat is on standby if the Tractor doesn't come up. Might see Brock come in for Menzel making Dinger the sub? Must have hard bodies for a contest against the Fluffy Ducks.

Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17

It is a danger game, but they all are, this time of year.
It is a danger because the Swans are NOT at full strength. Far too many times no name nuffers win games against us, some of which play the only good games of their entire careers. never under estimate the one game wonders: they have bitten us.
Live Long and Prosper!

I'm not concerned about who is playing for, or against us. I worry more about which Carlton turns up to the game. Hit the Swans hard with pressure and they turn the ball over as bad as any side in the league. This has been the weakness they have shown this season. This is why Fremantle in a final against them would be their worst nightmare. They know how to choke a side up completely.
