Agree with this.
Brown has been named on the ground though, pretty sure that means he plays.

Yes your are right, I must have brain damage, Brown is on the ground and in, I have already jumped in and said the same thing in a different post.
In: Leuey, Heater, Brown and maybe Dea
Out: Smack, Howlett, Hartley and maybe Gleeson.
I think itâs hard on Harts, but otherwise pretty much what you would expect.
Woosha says in the video that Brown is looked as a defender mainly this year, so it is pretty much like for like, but expect Green to push someone out next week, hopefully Heater shows his worth.
No McNernan!

I only really expected the one change but the coaches clearly werenât happy with the performance last week which is understandable. Hartley was pretty ordinary he seems to have the random game where he gets taken apart by someone unexpected, i still would have given him another week though. I like the addition of dea and hocking both tough bastards.
NERN bread!

I feel sorry for Harts and Smack from the point of view of being 100kg players playing in the Brisbane humidity, they are the guys most challenged by those conditions, where the Bears are more acclimatised to it.
I do expect Harts to fight hard to get back into the side for ANZAC day, wouldnât be surprised to see him back to play on Jenkins when we play the Crows.
I think the omission of Hartley says as much about the growing stature of Pat Ambrose as it does about Hartley.

We couldnât buy an intercepted mark last week and M Brown crushed it in the VFL, seems like a sensible change.
As others have said, Ambrose and Hartley are both very âlockdownâ and Hartleyâs man almost won Brisbane the match.

Chris, did you work for the BOM? The public seems to get confused with rain and showers.
I would go for Langford, Parish, McGrath and Gleeson for interchange. Great to see Hocking
back into side.
Why the hell youâd name Brown in the forwardline⌠but in an article the team is attached to state the below is completely beyond me.
"Worsfold said Mitch Brown would be used in the backline this week after alternating between defence and attack in 2016.
âHe was very versatile for us last year but weâve had a strong focus on him as a defender this year,â Worsfold said.
âHeâs been in some pretty good form through the JLT Series and certainly in the VFL practice matches over the last couple of weeks heâs played really well.
âWeâre confident heâs ready to do the job.â

Hartley may have a niggle.
But people are saying its going to be very very wet.
FYI if the bureau predicts showers, it means showers , not rain. If they predict rain, it means sustained falls of rain. Ther is a difference. The ball may get slippery, but the ground will not be a quagmire.

Showers.
Possible rainfall: 8 to 20 mm
Chance of any rain: 95%
Melbourne area
Cloudy. Very high (95%) chance of showers, most likely in the morning and afternoon. The chance of a thunderstorm in the afternoon and evening. Possible hail in the afternoon and evening. Winds westerly 20 to 30 km/h tending southwesterly 25 to 40 km/h during the day.

Gee Iâm glad there is only a chance of 20mm of showers and only a thunderstorm shower and a hail shower.
That is a relief.

Factoring in that Harts didnât didnât have a great game last week, plus the whether likely to be at least greasy, I think the omission is understandable. I think Leuy, Brown and Heater come in. Harts, Smack, and Howlett out. Unless Gleeson has a niggle. I think he will be played.
Pretty good changes, feel for Smack but I am pretty sure he will miss out.
In other words a high chance to be wet as fark.

Could just be that Hartley needs a rest and they want him right for Adelaide then Anzac Day. Could also be that Woosha rates Brown highly and he has only just missed out the past 2 weeks.
I think its good that we have a defense that we can mix and match, just because we have won two doesnât mean that we have the right combination just yet.
No one seems to have mentioned Langford is named in the last 3, on face value that suggests to me that he wonât play.
