Daniel Rioli 11.7 possessions a game, 0.8 goals a game - triple Premiership small forward. Jason Castagna 12 possessions a game, 1.0 goals a game - triple Premiership small forward

Seriously @A F - you're living in dreamland if you think we can afford Hopper, Taranto or Tom Green. We need to sign Oliver, Jackson, Rivers, Kozzie, Petty, Brayshaw and Fritsch to long term deals over the next two years. We need to be shopping in the role player bin.

There is no way he will play forward this week ahead of Weid, just no way.

Could be a good week for him to get some in case he's needed for big finals ....

It's not conclusive

100% agree. It's a great stadium. The top 4 will be 3 Victorian teams and one SA team - it's highly likely the GF teams will come from that set. It's reasonable to drive to Adelaide, Covid permitting, and having GFG I would definitely do it. If it's in Perth I won't be going.

Plus imagine if we won the only GF ever played in Perth in front of thousands of WC supporters - that would almost compensate for not being there.

You reckon? How about if we lose by a point with a Selwood goal after the siren from a "too high" free kick? Just win the flag!

State of bliss when we win the flag

I'm willing to go back-to-back, win wherever this year and then have the full smorgasbord as you describe above in 2022.

ROB is a very good player but they are super thin in the ruck after him. Strachan, skinny and 1 game; Thilthorpe first year fwd-ruck. Maxy is putting on the bib tor a feast.

Please can Freo finally do the right thing and knock them off next week!

If all finals are played in Perth it would be so fantastic if WC missed out. Winning the flag in front of those campaigners the only time it's ever played there would almost compensate for not being able to go.

[censored] fantastic win with everything against us - location, Covid, fired up opposition, umps, lightning -thats the win that galvanises the team for the flag. Bring it on -try to stop us!

If Weid doesn't make it as a KPF he'll make it as a KPB. We could do with that flexibility. Petty has been very good this year as a KPB but he has also shown some ability forward. Three years from now we'll probably have vacancies at both ends.

Rono Rides Again

How well is Schache back going now?

How good is that kicking for goal!?!

Gold!

I'm really not sure what you're whinging about. One win from 3 and we're top 4. Port won't finish 1 or 2. We'll win one of the next three minimum.

Maybe Melksham is in to play a negating role on McGovern or Hurn.

Do you think that it being wet was the problem?

Wet weather didn't hurt when we beat Geelong, Richmond and Sydney earlier this year.

Strongly agree. It's possible to drive to Adelaide. Drive to Perth is a big ask. Flights will be impossible to get.
