@Pennant St Dee, I asked you earlier in this thread mate, whether there's any chance Curtin could get through to our pick (say West Coast go with Reid) and if he did, would we take Curtin. What are your thoughts currently? Please and thank you. 🙏 -
Agreed. But if we finished 2nd, we'd be playing Port or Brisbane at the MCG. Probably Port. I can't see Brisbane finishing top 2 now, but I've been wrong before.

The absolute ideal scenario is us hosting Port or Brisbane at the MCG in a QF. But I concede this is very unlikely, it could happen though and that's a better outcome than Collingwood in a QF. We can win the flag from 4th, 3rd or 2nd.

If JJ goes, it'll be because he wants to. He's an FA, so the mistake wouldn't be ours. There are only so many players that can fit into 22/23.

Geelong is a marginal seat though. It's become effectively a bipartisan pork barrel.

He injured himself the previous week during a contest against St Kilda. He looked very sore after it.

With the austerity mindset from governments at the moment, I wouldn't be surprised if any headway made previously is now redundant. Unless it's solely public infrastructure, I can't imagine they'll be able to sell it to their constituents.

And instead of Bowey, replace him with Petty.

It also is randomly shown well before SG has finished.

I think we can win it from 4th. Particularly, if we play Collingwood in the QF.
-
I hate Geelong too. Half my family is Geelong, the other half Melbourne. That would be dreadful, but I expect Geelong to drop at least 2 more, possibly 3, which they can't really afford.

Lol, it wasn't that long ago that some on here were saying 2023 would be a super draft and a bunch of us were saying every year is allegedly a super draft until it isn't. But if JT doesn't rate the crop, we'll trade the picks for a ready made. We win either way. So it'll be fascinating to see which way we go.
-
Indeed, but do you think Brisbane will go 6-0 or 5-1 from here? They could well fall in a hole too after their capitulation the other night. They've still got Collingwood, Geelong, the Q-Clash and Adelaide.

The question the media should be asking is will it be JVR or BB that Grundy takes the spot of. I also think a big variable not being spoken about in all of this is how the game changes in the finals series. It's not as open, it's more contested, it's a lot of long to contests etc. If Brodie and Max can bring the ball to ground forward of centre, they'll have done their job from a forward perspective. It's then ensuring they impact the game in the ruck as well. Prior to the Brisbane game, the most underrated game Max played this year was against Collingwood, where he repeatedly ensured the ball was not intercepted and brought it to ground. That's not evident in the stats, but he was essential that day. In the same game, Grundy had 2 shots on goal of his own and they basically shared the ruck that day. Max had 37 ruck contests, Brodie 42. We won clearance, CP and intercept. That's the model that can work going forward IMO. We'd like to get a more even performance from both of them though, but in particular Max.

We're only 3 wins behind Port and their percentage is very ordinary for a 2nd placed team with 14 wins to this stage. Port could very well lose their next 3 games (Pies, Crows and Cats at Geelong) and then have an improving GWS at Adelaide Oval to contend with. I admit it's unlikely they drop that GWS game, but if they do and the rest, there's a chance we could go 5-1 from here and still take a home QF. This weekend is huge.

Grundy will be in the team for finals and he'll be in the team next year and beyond. Bookmark it.

Terrible idea. Defeats the purpose of getting the job down during the H&A season.
