Match Preview and Team Selection - Round 20

[Schneider 220]

Should show the team the Marngrook tipping to get them fired up, suggestion of Melbourne getting anywhere close was incomprehensible. I hold some hope, when we are written off and mocked we can sometimes do ok (or follow the narrative exactly). We do always struggle on the games we are expected to win though.

Viv's third opportunity in a row. Needs to step up this week after an improved showing last week. Gonna be tough on the fast deck at Etihad but fingers crossed for the lad.

[FireOath 290]

I think it might be the last roll of the dice for Viv. I think he needs to show something really positive to say that he deserves to be on the list. Myself? I'm not so sure he can do that.

[Curry & Beer 5,444]

so is Tommy Mac out or not?

[Ethan Tremblay 31,274]

He's named in the team.

Only out from last week is Tyson.

The question now is whether he's a handy depth player moving forward. He couldn't crack into a strong Freo team and has hardly done much better at the MFC, relatively speaking.

If JT and the recruiting team can rustle up one or two more VDB's out of the lower tier comps, I can't see the necessity of keeping players like Viv on the list. Crash and bash with average skill execution seems to be of more value.

Just has not shown enough and is too slow.

I was at training so I can give an eyewitness account.During a match simulation the ball was kicked wide towards the boundary and Hogan and McDonald were both going for the mark.They both went to ground with McDonald underneath Hogan.McDonald didn't get up and called for assistance.His boot came off and was looked at then he walked off the track with just a slight limp.After about ten minutes he came back on and did a bit of light jogging and agility exercises and continued with the rest of the team.From what I could see it didn't look too bad.I was at training last week and vandenberg looked a lot worse.

Ever considered doing pre-season training reports?

So he's the equal of Grimes then?

Hopefully all our shite luck is being used up pre game!

[deanox 10,057]

Totally irrelevant but Id like to know how many games weve actually won there since its inception.....

We had great record until it changed it name to Etihad Stadium. Since then we've won none.

One of our best users of the footy out, one of our worst users of the footy in. Good swap!

Are you kidding me? Seriously?

[Cards13 9,117]

Hahhaha hahahah f me

[Bring-Back-Powell 15,361]

Disappointing re:Salem if true. Funnily enough he was also a late exclusion due to a virus against North at Etihad last year. Must not want to play there!!

Anyone have a breakdown of age and game experience between the 2 sides. Apparently Dogs are the 3rd youngest club in the league, which makes their season even more remarkable.
