Hibberd potentially missing or underdone is a worry, as he's the perfect matchup for Papley. We'll win the midfield battle and our tall defenders should stop their tall forwards, Papley and Heeney are the dangers and potential match winners for them.

That said, I believe we'll win tonight in a tight game. Excited to see Gawn, Petracca and Oliver step up for another finals series. We're watching a truly special group of players at the moment!

I'm hearing that Buddy could be a late withdrawal due to a calf problem.

Nothing on social media in regards to this.

One of the most moving clips you would ever see - and he's real! Hallowed performances. If he brings that kind of workmanship to the game tonight, look out Swans! As good as Robbi's contributions.

Hibbo will front - can you imagine how he will feel if he misses and opportunity to smash Papley?

This would explain why Callum Sinclair and Hayden McLean are named emergencies. 

The thought of going into the game with 1 ruckman would certainly concern them.

Missing would be a problem, but missing what was essentially, by all reports, a fairly light training session, is hardly going to see a fully developed veteran player underdone. A 24hr gastro bug is not going to drain him to any great extent.

You too?

If both teams play at their very very best Melbourne win. I believe we are primed to do just that today. 

Spot on Mr Steve. Said before the last game our best is better than all other sides . Was at the Gabba and if we play like that we will win convincingly.

24hr gastro bug is certainly not ideal preparation.

“Excited” is not really the word I’d choose to use at said prospect. There’s no shortage of words I would use, but yeah nah, “excited” isn’t one of them. 

Spargo ?

There's alot of class sitting on the bench.

I'm a humble man JCB!

I don't want to appear pretentious to those less cashed up than my good self.

( BTW the dog ute is a 2022 model)
