leave it to deever

It's here. So excited. Just win please.

Yep. It's a huge call for him not just on form but the magnitude of the game

The fourth never wins is irrelevant. Also the finals format has constantly changed. It's a very close season and as mentioned we are playing a team not in their best form and one we have already beaten. These two factors are reflected in the betting markets as well as tipsters that show there really isn't any clear fave. Even though we are playing the minor premiers , I would be much more worried playing the lions at the Gabba . Do I feel ultra confident. No. But neither should a pies supporter. Even though we finished fourth, this finals campaign to me seems to have a 2021 feel about it. I hope we can win a flag on the hallowed turf of the Mcg after 59 bloody years .

This will be a tough game but we our certainly a good chance to win. Sometimes First v fourth can be a whitewash. This season the win loss tally bw the two isn't that different. Plus we are the team going in with better form. Plus we beat them KB. Win this an we sit comfortably with a home qualifying final. Can't wait.

Tmac has been given the nod. I guess we all knew that he would come in for Milk. I do believe a lot will rest on his shoulders. He has had a lot of patchy form this year so it's a bit of a concern. Then again he could bust the finals apart

Does that mean it's time to start drinking?

It's a long 54 hours from here.

Apart from whipping us, I watched a few Freo games and fully agree.

Hope you get into all our games Jvr. The excitement is really starting to build for me. Feels a tad 21 again.

It definitely shouldn't be gloom and doom . We have beaten this mob when they were in top gear in a finals type atmosphere.

If it rains I'll curse the Afl for the Thursday final.

One day in September You won't want to remember.

I wonder if the bye will work in our favor. We are going into finals with more recent wins than the pies. The one week off probably disrupts our momentum but at least we actually have some. The pies have been all over the place the last five games and a week off doesn't help their confidence. We have played two recent big games in Swans and Blues. While we only just lost the latter, it was good finals prep.

He will get plenty of game time in the semi.

I bet she could though.

This is of fair concern.

There's probably a run on bolt cutters at Bunnings this week. Those ankle bracelets apparently aren't too hard to remove.

Mmmmm Chicken feet with a side of beak.

I wonder if there is temptation in playing him against his old mob. It usually brings the best out in one. He was good KB round.

Agreed. Too far out for an accurate determination.

I wasn't really devastated missing out last year like I should have been. I think I was still high after the flag.

My left leg has been playing up so all signs point to a dry spell.

Good question Wws. I was looking at how many night games we have played and won. Thinking about a greasy ball at night. Our record is pretty good. The losses were interstate against Port and Bris . The other one was Carlton.

What are the chances Tommo gets a guernsey?

Throw in the best medium/ tall fwd in Fritta and an improved Kozzie/ Chandler combo with Trac there more often and it's going to be an interesting season.
