leave it to deever

Has Max ever been reported or fined? Im pretty sure he hasn't but want to know for sure. Hes the sought of player that is as big as Mumford and could do some damage if he liked but he's just not that sort of bloke thank goodness. Although I wouldn't mind seeing him push back if the dogs get stuck into him

the way these blokes gather the ball at ground level is like having two extra quality midfielders,

D'land has never been so polite.

Cheer for me please.

Give his recent work they are generous odds.

Im sure clubs will use the change of venues from Covid as precedents for home gfs.

Apologies if already posted.....

Forget Libba. Jv to dominate and the medal. Get the feeling he has a lot to prove.

Hes been extra toey the last few games. Im imagine it wont be pretty Gf day/

Only after we turn the sprinklers on.

Aside from winning this year, it would be only fair to win back to back flags so most supporters will be able to see us win at the G. But I get ahead of myself. The dogs will be a tough team to beat. I hope we jump out of the blocks and kick well at goal. I think Bbb may have a big day supported by Kozzie. The last time we met was different. I doubt they will get 14 more frees. Josh Bruce is out. Jv is back to his best. Max has gone turbo mode. Our fwd line is settled.

Its nice to think we have something of a home ground advantage in Perth. Played our last game and one a few weeks back v the Eagles so I guess its a little bit more suited to us.

Im sure they will but it will cost them. Jv wont be happy and Luke Jackson will be free to run around creating havoc,

Nathan Jones as well in terms of sad omissions and while not a fan ....Melksham has played quite a few but not there at the end. Smith a shocking run of injuries may have made it.

Love his speed and all things equal hell yes,..... but seven weeks out is too big a risk and i reckon the reason why.

Nice. My daughter bought me the same for bday.

I get the feeling this is going to be a very physical game with a lot of agro. No doubt Max will be targeted but I cant imagine Jv being silent about that. Harmes and Libba will probably duke it out. May will probably be pushed about with his hammy in question but he can hold his own. Hannan will be angry again. Tmac will probably and hopefully throw his muscle about. Anb, Trac and Lever never ones to take a step back. And finally Fritta to fire up. Can't wait. They can toy with Max at their own expense. Don't poke the bear, dogs.

Sparrow v Jordan has been an interesting one all year. Very much like for like. I think Sparrow is more a goal scorer and gives more physicality than Jordan Feel sorry for Hunt but happy for Hibberd.

Nothing to see. All good. Especially May.

Was Rosebury involved in our last clash with the dogs? The umpiring in that one was terrible.

My goodness. To think I was worried about Nicholls being on the case. Rosebury stats look scary.....minus eight for ONE game. Was every call he made against us? I wonder which game? Plus 44 to the dogs in eight. Booo.

I am a little surprised at this. I thought he would move on. Credit to Sam for showing faith in the club and vice versa. He has the talent. I hope the club can bring out his best.

As much as I wanted us to play port... there is justice afoot in that the two best teams are in the grand final. Cats and power are good teams that I believe only finished top four by the benefit of the home advantage they have. As such they were clearly exposed in the finals. Lions were late finishers this year that have an exciting brand of footy. The dogs although a better team got a little help from the umps in that final. On the two times we played we beat the dogs once quite clearly and the The second time I do believe in the wet conditions the fourteen more frees (25-11) was a shambles. In those conditions the umpires should let more things slide. If the dogs win I dont believe it will be by much. Our defence doesnt concede much. But there are a few factors that I think have changed since our last encounter. 1 Max. He has simply gone to a new level. He has displayed roving skills lately that match most star midfielders. 2 Jack Viney. Our previous captain has recently shown why he was in that position. 3. Our fwd line. Despite the experimenting its been long settled and highly effective now. The dogs less so with no Josh Bruce. 4. Our slump is well and truly behind us v the dogs not so much. 5. We played at Optus in our last game and not so long ago in the h and a.....thus we will feel more settled there. I hope the umpires don't get too involved. We are not slow off the mark and we don't kick too many behinds( scorewise😀). I also believe we have more players with star and wow factor than the dogs that will emerge on the big stage. And finally even though I believe these teams are not too much apart its is still a matter of Number one playing number five that history suggests will leave us victors.

Petty and Smith would be good options up forward.
