Garbo

Think weid will have a big game tomorrow, I,m more concerned with our ball movement, no Salem and now no Langdon, that’s our first and second kicks in the rebound chain out.

I just find it interesting that they are comparing a team who has so far won one flag to teams that won 3 or more, of course at this stage all the names won’t pop of the page to the non initiated but if we end up winning 3 or so I’m sure they will, who’s to say Tom Sparrow won’t be a future hall of famer when he is done

Not worried until they can stop teams scoring 80+ every week and get that number down into the low 60s. They are very much like the dogs last year when things are on there terms they look fantastic but soon as another team gets on top at some point they leak goals. No team can dominate for 4qtrs and no chance they would vs us, but dees can defend for 4qtrs and still get a score. If we have a near full strength backline when we play they will get all of 3-4 goals for there period of dominance but we will get 7-8 during ours and that will be the difference at the end of the day.

Only need to look what happened when they played freo a few weeks back, and that team is a pale imitation of us. Blues biggest issue will be limiting us to under 80-90 points as I’m fairly certain we won’t let them get more than 60 or so , if they can do that then maybe they would have a chance

Sounds like fyfe is a better than even chance of coming back this week so the middle is going to be a big factor in the game. We really missed Viney round the contest last week so hopefully he hasn’t done anything major but I suspect he will be out for one more. If Salem is fit I’d bring him straight back in and move Brayshaw into the middle and play Vineys role. If Langdon is unable to get up then the only outs I’d have are Melksham and Dunstan with Bedford staying in

Just shows how hard it is to be up every week, why our 10 in a row is so impressive

Blues have quite the injury list atm if the can get there best 22 on the park they will be as dangerous as anyone else, I still think we are a level above everyone but I could just as easily see blues in a grand final vs us as anyone. Rounds 22 and 23 will be quite interesting, will anyone show there cards and go all out or will it be saved for the weeks after

The goal output of key fwds has been dropping for years now and it won’t be long before a mid or small fwd wins the Colman, Key fwds are the dinosaurs of the afl. If JVR can kick goals and do the team things it doesn’t matter what height he is.

I can’t be bothered to look up every year but swans 2017 comes to mind they didn’t first get In the 8 until round 16

Why is it that conveniently it happens when they play us, feel like it’s cause we don’t try to anymore than the bare minimum required to win

So annoying we are going to let this slip to a 4 or so goal win

Felt like Brayshaw was our best watching at the game. His courage to go back with the flight or put is head over the ball is next level. I’d really like to see him stay back even after Salem comes back

Great game by Gus, good 3qtr performance, slightly disappointing we couldn’t put the foot down in the 3rd

So if I’m seeing this right Brayshaw out and Amon in

Feels like only one position has really been in play all year and that is 2nd tall fwd

Almost a grand final reunion

Interesting if Weid does go out, tmac went back for one game and played well in the two's gets in on back on covid changes and plays just ok. But Weid who despite flaws in his game has kicked goals and even helped in the ruck last week. Not sure what message that sends

If not we always have the chance to do it ourselves next week

He only signed last year he won’t sign again till next year, why is this thread a thing

Problem with smith is more he isn’t Petty, May got burned a few times by leaving smith as last man down back which cost us a few goals, I doubt we would have the same issue with Petty in that situation

Mcc member here and the whole thing is borked, went to book 6 tickets for next week and the whole of level 1 and 4 baring a few seats is sold out there for we are not going to be able to go, was at the game on Saturday same deal before that, but guess what heaps of empty seats on the day. Before covid only a few bays were open to reserve seating but now it’s the whole thing, but as there is no cost I suspect people reserve the seat and just don’t turn up but this prevents other people going.

Not that he will be an out but fritsch really needs to lift was quite disappointing tonight, shirked the contest a few times altogether looked out of it.

Nothing tonight made me more comfortable about next week but then again 5 forcefully changes due to covid and we won. Next week will be our first test against a fellow in form team the outcome of which will tell us a lot.

Seems no tests are required before game day, so unless someone is obviously showing symptoms there won’t be any changes

Why would you want to goto this rabble, best thing dees can do is absolutely obliterate them in 3 weeks time over 186
