So for those listening on SEN, McRae just confirmed Frampton is in the side.

Love our coach. No mucking around with him. He's honest and the players respect that. Let's get #16 - Go Pies!!

I am sure it will on the podcast and on YouTube later today. He really is the AFL version of Ted Lasso!

But also liked his comment about how does he view/take anything from our recent losses to Brisbane. His response? Not much, we had four big outs.....etc

I think he has been reading Nicks!

I heard Daisy Thomas on MMM talking about the losses. He made the point that the Gabba and Marvel are both shorter and skinnier than the MCG, it's harder to defend space at the G.

Frampton in, makes total sense. Go Pies.

I love that McRae lives in a 'No Bullshit' world.

No stupid mind-games around selection.

Frampton is a better ruck and defender than McStay, but he lacks his forward craft. However, as my late father Igor often said "Beggars can't be choosers..."

I think Lipinski starts and that Ginnivan will be sub. It will be important for Hill and Elliott and McCreery to make early statements against the strong Lions defensive unit.

Cox and Cameron to hit Oscar Mc hard and often and really make hi work for his knockouts. Ditto when Daniher rucks...

Ginni sub for mine. He’s probably our best impact player. Can come on for a tall or Mitchell or lipinski or hosko. I dont think you bring any of our backs off to be sub, and not sure there is much point to lipinski as sub.
It's never as good/nor bad as it seems...

CORRECT, at Gabba we had NO rucks, at Marvel shithole we had no Moore, Hill, Jamie, and JDG, from memory. The MCG is a house of horrors for Lions, and we will take full advantage of it. Frampton comes alive,makes perfect sense to me, too. In Fly we trust. :o 8)

I'm with you Pnc. Frampton looked great at training yesterday, and will fill the McStay role with aplomb. Pies by 22 pts.
