I’m at peace today. If we lose then we don’t actually deserve to be in the 8, simple as that. We should however win this one in a canter.

Nope, sorry.

I apologise to all in advance.

Things I don't want to see:

The Dogs stacking their backline and running it out at will via the flanks. Coll, Port, St K and Haw did that....

Stop that happening and we win.

To be fair I think we held up defensively against Port much better.

But yes, I'm pretty confident the Dogs will play the same way St Kilda and Collingwood did, and Fremantle tried to, stacking the backline and trying to run it out using the width of the G to break down our press.

Last week our press/zone held up wonderfully, albeit against rubbish opposition, but I think at least partly also due to the narrow ground.

Things I'd love to see, in order:

  1. A win
  2. No injuries
  3. Seeing our defensive zone/press hold up on the G
  4. Percentage

Fair gap between 1 and 2, though.

TIO Stadium is only 3m narrower than the G. Interestingly we have done well on grounds as wide as the G this year albeit against weaker opposition.

Me too. I hate listening on the radio because it seems to take us 10 to 15 possessions to get it into our forward pocket, then they call a turnover, the opposition does one handball to a running player who passes it to the leading forward and they announce that he is lining up 25 m from goal on a slight angle!

describes our recent game plan perfectly ?

Why didnt they bring Tyson in to replace Viney?

Hannan makes no sense.   We needed another mid.

What’s it say for Tyson when he doesn’t get a call up 

that we are worried about the pace of the dogs backline imo

big blow, and the comments from mahoney make it sound like it could be an extended period of time out:

We will have further clarity on a timeframe early next week, although at this stage, we do expect Jack to return during the latter part of the season

Ugh.

We've had a good run with injury this year so I guess our luck was bound to run out some time!

Still, one player should not make a team. Dees by 29 points.
