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.

I see Tom Green at GWS has done his hamstring and is out for 2-4 weeks. Luke Jackson picked a nice time to kick 4 goals last week and gets a big chance to enhance his reputation in his home state this week. Dogga for Rising Star!

I'm not sure on the logistics of flying 15,000 MFC members to Perth for the GF. 30,000 if there's another Victorian team involved which looks likely. At 300 people per flight - that's 100 flights. I find that hard to comprehend ...

I'm amazed at the relatively low Adelaide number - surely that is capped somehow?
