Sparrow the sub?

Maybe it's just me but I have a feeling we'll win by 10+ goals tomorrow.

If people remember back to last year he was having a similar patch of poor form in the middle of the year and everyone here was calling for him to be dropped. He turned it around quickly and become our most dangerous forward while Fritsch was out. Fritsch will turn it around and Melksham adds much needed depth. I'd bring him back in via Casey for the run. We need him to end the year. He will also free up Chandler a bit and attract another roaming defender because he plays taller than he is. Very important to our structure.

Can someone explain something to me. I am trying to get a ticket for my daughter to attend her first game. It's supposed to be free for kids.. but I am still being charged a processing fee. Is this right? Is there another way to get a ticket and avoid the fee? I know it's only $3 but seems so pointless.

Agreed. It was a great game. We went extended periods of time with Gawn, Oliver, Viney, Pickett and Lever on the bench. It's clear now that we are developing for next season. I hope it pays off.

Petty Langdon and Daniher have killed it

Langdon and Petty. Five absolute sitters missed between them.

we have gone extended periods with viney oliver gawn and lever on the bench. this is amazing how we've held on

he was very good in the first half. but badly drops off when there is a touch of pressure.

full back.

.... forward.

He's been okay. Windsor too. Moniz looks like a 50-gamer though.

Blatant holding the ball against Bailey. Shocking not decision BT mistaking Sweet Caroline for Country Roads just about sums up his commentary. We got this. You can tell they're hungry.

I don't mind Daniher but gee he just has an annoying face.

Keep it up!

We can so win this.

I might be crazy but we look the better team. They're getting free kicks and we're also turning the ball over too much. If we tightwn things up more we should get more isolation forward. But they're at 60% F50 conversion. They don't lose at the Gabba when it's >50%.

JVR Viney Oliver our best so far. and pickett.

i think the pressure just builds as the season goes on. i don't think he is running on fumes. he'll be better for the run.

This is the kind of game good clubs just steal. Even in a "down" year. Hawthorn. Geelong. Collingwood. They bring fire in games like these.

Now out to $5.50. More a reflection of Brisbane's form or ours? I reckon we'd be rank outsiders at the MCG as well.

Brisbane average 10 (!) more inside 50s a game than us. At a 46% conversion that's approx 4 goals which is about the difference purely on a averages front. We absolutely need to force and win the stoppage clearance as much as possible and slow their entries forward. Force their shots to the pockets. If we have any chance at all then Pickett, Petty and Fritsch need to kick at least 6 goals between them. Assuming the likes of Rivers, Gawn, JVR, Chandler, ANB, Sparrow and Viney can each hit the scoreboard at some point. If we can kick 12+ goals against keep them to <40% inside-50 conversion we win. We can beat this mob.

Is Grundy available

West Coast would have been crazy not to accept our trade offer + 2 more first round picks. They definitely would have accepted if it included 2025s picks.

And we won by 40 points!
