At the break of Gawn

I’m just going to wait for MFC media to confirm. Sam has been wrong on his injury info previously.

Definitely don’t feel that we’re as good. But I feel we’re 10x better than we were last year. Our ability to swing momentum in games is the best in the league. https://twitter.com/andrew_whelan/status/1688139851223511042?s=46&t=PgGGBVtPGxmKYqlW0SqdRw

I’d love for the FD to consider Schache. He can do backup ruck which means JVR can stay at home in the F50 more. Brown is done, Grundy back and doing more forward won’t work. Tmac hasn’t been the same since 2021. For me it’s either Schache or maybe Smith and go for an ultra mobile forward 50.

Petty is almost irreplaceable with his recent form. We just can’t go back to BBB or Tmac. What are the chances of this being just a sprained ankle?

If Sparrow had actually done a decent kick it would have hit Petty on the chest. It’s symbolic that a massive injury for us is due to butchering the ball.

Lucky we’ve been accurate. I’ll take being 4pts down. Hopefully that end isn’t the scoring end and we are chasing down a lead in the last.

I hope after yesterday’s results, Goody has reminded the players you can’t take any opposition lightly. West Coast almost and then the Hawks. Blow them away early and put it to bed.

Swans winning basically guarantees that rnd 24 for them will be an elimination final. Won’t be easy to knock them off.

Cats were pretty awful. They’ll lose next week and I think the Dogs will get them in round 24.

C’mon Cats!!

Cats have the momentum here now. Need to capitalise.

There’s only a 3cm height difference between Smith and Tomlinson and Smith has a much better vertical leap so in some ways it’s almost like for like (albeit Tomlinson has a bigger frame).

Goody isn’t making 3 changes from a win like that. I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s just: In: Sparrow Out: Woewodin

I remember looking at some stats earlier in the year and the Lions are easier to beat in Aug-Sept timeframe due to the fact the humidity is much lower and the games are a lot less slippery up there. We absolutely killed them in round 23 last year.

My dream run would be if we finished second. QF: Port @ the MCG. Get the monkey off the back of losing our last two finals with a dominant win over Port. PF: Collingwood @ the MCG. My reasoning for this is that it’d be hilarious if they lost their first final and I’d rather play them in a prelim than in a GF. GF: Brisbane @ the MCG. Much larger home ground advantage and crowd advantage as opposed to playing Collingwood who will dominate ticket sales and will be insufferable. I also think Brisbane is a team that would [censored] the bed in a GF.

Very proud of our ability to just fight back on multiple occasions. We never had this in us in ‘22 but we did it beautifully in ‘21 and we’re doing it again. Just watching the replay after going to the game, and had anyone else noticed Trac’s been getting into little spats with the opposition a lot lately? Happened with Collingwood, Brisbane and now Richmond. Not sure if it’s sledging related, but as long as it doesn’t impact his game I suppose.

Harmes just killing us. Hasn’t had an effective disposal and missed two sitters. Surely this is his last game

Kudos to @binman for predicting that the Crows would roll Port on the DL podcast.

Thank god for Tex. keeping Port at arms distance here.

Tomorrow afternoon becomes so important now. Even a close win is fine if we belt North next week.

This is awesome by the Suns. Hope they can keep it up

King getting on the board early is awesome for the Suns.

Weather forecast has become worse. Looks like it will be a wet or slippery game once the ball is bounced. Petty is definitely a better option than Browb in wet conditions.

Huge out for them. He’s very handy
