Garbo

Think we will have more, mcc is mostly Melbourne and Members tickets were sold 50/50, don’t think any made it to general admin.

Rain band moving fast shouldn’t hang round more than a half hour

Anyone else feel more nervous now David King has jumped on the bandwagon, feel like he’s almost the kiss of death

Good selections exactly how I would have gone, think pies are panicked about Gawn and have no real answer.

A small fwd is not really a need and not sure if he would even be best 22, but if he doesn’t cost much then can’t hurt

If Cameron and Cox stay in and the weather stays as predicted, I’ll be cheering for more rain, it would be the biggest blunder pies could make. Debatable if we should even bring Tmac in let lone Grundy to help Gawn. Just play Smith as 2nd tall, Hibbo for Turner and leave Laurie in the starting team. If u want an insurance policy have Tmac or Grundy sub

Rain rain go away come again another day

More than that we need another backup, if Gawn went down round 1 next year we would be screwed unless we can secure someone else. Unless we can find someone and at net be no worse off we should hold onto Grundy until such a time as we can fill that gap.

Problem is we need a backup regardless, that backup is going to cost 400k plus a pick, if dees have to kick in cash to whoever wants to trade for Grundy what’s the point if we end up worse off or not better pick and cash wise not taking into account that the replacement will be worse than Grundy.

If Grundy goes I think he would be a better fit assuming he isn’t on some silly contract. Whenever I’ve seen him he always looked dangerous up forward I wasn’t aware he was also a ruck so that’s a bonus if we need him there to.

Only day rain predicted in the next fortnight is Thursday, pies must be out there doing a rain dance

Feel like they now want every team to have a player how very equitable of them. Where was that in our dark days, Nathan Jones would be a 4x AA by today’s standards

Fellow m50 here

I find it absolutely bizarre they can’t find space for one defender from the team with the best defence in the league.

We as a team look better with one ruck, to play Grundy we give up to much run a carry, vs blues we looked slow and part of that is due to 2 rucks

I think only change will be tmac for malksham, would like to see Hibberd come in for Turner but I don’t see Goodwin making any unforced changes from here on out

Always an unlucky player who misses finals, we had Jones in 2021. Yet another argument for grand final winner’s recognition to be extended to the greater team and not just the 22/23 of the day

Very scrappy game but looks like it’s getting on dees terms that qtr, should break in our favour if we continue

Not sure how a 22nd man selected can be the difference between disaster and not regardless of what you think of either of them.

Think be good to see a fwd line with one tall and melksham, fritsch and smith playing more mobile, question is if Gawn goes off jvr needs to ruck and we have no tall fwd

Sounds like a bug has been going round the club, wouldn’t be surprised if there is a few late changes on Sunday.

Lucky for us our game is after all the other results are known, I can’t imagine we would loose deliberately if we were going to finish 3rd with a win and play lions or port but I could foresee us resting some players if we have a game with pies locked in

Seems like Fritsch will be back this week, I’d guess that either means Smith out or goes back. Personally I only like him up forward. Today showed we need a 2nd tall we have to give Tmac a run if he is ready, not sure who would make way for him however logic would say it’s Melksham but on form that couldn’t happen, that would only leave a small like Chandler, ANB or Laurie, we definitely need more from our smalls none really fired a shot today. I can’t see Tomlinson keeping his spot, either Smith goes back or Hibbo comes in, personally I’d prefer Hibbo since he gives stability and will let May and Lever concentrate on there game.

Port tanking to play pies over lions

Not just that but his either lost his man or given to much space on numerous occasions, at least 4 of there marks inside 50 I’d attribute to him
