Strong possibility

Forward structure and scoring power is very important but let's not ever forget defence wins premierships. Pop reference but pretty much on the money.

The highest honour of hatred.

Well there you have it, looks like we tied up all the loose ends.

Honestly, thought we should have had one or two more in the 44. That's a little pathetic.

Sounds like it's nothing according to my sources

Thanks for the legup LH. I did see that suggestion before but me doing this and trying to get others to do this are very different things I'm afraid.

Seems like only a smattering of people have got their barcodes. Need to get 3 tickets tomorrow and the other two don't have theirs yet.

When was the last time Melk was considered a mid? Think Harmes more orange to Melk's apple now

Dang. Well it sounds like there were plenty in the same boat at least.

They should call us 'The Red Time Redlegs'

Bring your gameface at 10am tomorrow THBT.

Imagine if the list manager came here for ideas..

I just don't want to be in a scenario after this game where there is even a flash of a thought: "Maybe we could have used Grundy". The intel on his ex teammates and how to push their buttons, the option if Max is getting manhandled once again. Yes I know this robs us of running power but in my Monday afternoon 11 days out from the game opinion this is exactly what the tactical sub is for. Can we not play a side similar to what we have but with Grundy as a sub and then if he's needed, bring him in? I'm happy to listen to any counter points on this, I just think it could be foolish to rule the guy out from the running this early.

Hold on to your barcodes peeps.

If you're looking at a slight gamechanging tweak to get a player to the next level (ala Clarry pre 2021) it's Merrett who is the more likely out of those two in my opinion.

Yeah well said Jaded. I'm also reminding myself that it beats having to fork out for flights somewhere.

God that is hard to take,. These season ending injuries are so much more crushing when there is everything to play for. Only really just came to terms with Petty. You need these characters in a quest like this. Yes we can win without them but you almost don't want to do it without them. Shattered.

Alright got the email!

I watch 75 mins of Newcastle v Liverpool this morning, trailing 1-0 down to 10 men for most of the game. I decide to cut it there because I've got a heap to do, we were battling hard but it wasn't going our way. I then catch the other Reds fan in our office who yells out to me "Good result this morning". I ask what happened and he tells me to my absolute shock. It's a funny old game..

Remember the bees to the honey pot argument? How does this help?

Already taking the Friday off, ideally don't want to take tomorrow off as well just to concentrate 100% on getting tickets!

I'd have to watch again because I'm taking the commentators word for it there. Thought we had one extra back but those comments did surprise me a little. The good thing was it allowed us to be compact in defence but widen the field when we were exiting. I'm confident we'll have something different again for the Pies to keep them guessing.

The two behind the ball was an interesting one as well. Seemed to open up the wider space to kick into.

It's the way we are finishing games that is the gamechanger for me this year. Finals are about who is toughest for the longest and as opposed to last year when we were hobbling off the field our guys look like they could play another game then and there. In regards to the defensive indicators, there have been times and yesterday in particular where we've conceded a few marks inside 50 and there is a threat that things could go to bits but more often that not that defensive unit has managed to sort themselves out and get back to killing the danger and relieving the pressure by hitting a target. If they give up a goal, no problem, ithey put it behind them and it's about the next contest. It would be almost perfect if we had Petty out there and losing Melksham is a bummer but nothing goes perfect for anyone in a premiership campaign. We will back our selection and whoever comes in to do the job. Perfection is not required, doing your role is. Like Big Kev, I'm excited!
