I'm so keen for this match up. We'll win, beat GWS in the prelim and then beat Lions on the G for the flag haha

Melkshams form was a major part of our formline in the run home. Brutal timing for the veteran

How early is too early to book flights to the prelim and/or GF 😎

The milkshake injury is super hard to take. Opens the door back up for one of TMac, BBB or Grundy you'd think. @Demonlandno more one on one interviews until the off season 😅

Wasn't able to watch the 2nd half. What happened to Milkshake?

Team selection looks like we might want to win this 🤔

14/15 - not 100% sure which one I got wrong... Oh man, went back and checked. I thought it was just a bad photo of Jamie Bennell 🫠

Do we rest key players and back ourselves to smash the pies in week 1 of the finals!?

I'm of the opinion we should try Schache. Can't be less effective than Grundy if were talking pure forward role only, and is worth a look before we go back to BBB and Tmac

Had PTSD flashback to the 'Relax...We got this Thread' of years gone by

Hard to disagree with the OP other than to say that revisionist/hindsight analysis is the easiest analysis. Salem kicks the goal and/or Tracs kick gets called a goal and this thread doesn't exist. It's hard to go into finals with the weight of expectation, but I don't think writing us down helps the mindset

Salem and Bowey both had opportunities to kick goals in the last. Didn't kick them and therefore we didn't deserve to win. Reality check before the finals. Not the end of the world

I'd like nothing more than TMac to get a game and wind back the clock. For me only BBBB and TMac can play with JVR if were only playing 2 out and out tall forwards. When Fritta comes back in it'll be very interesting to see what mix they go with. Can't deny that Milkshake has shown his class lately. I don't think it's time to go with Grundy yet. having said that goody might want to give it a go pre-finals to see how it looks again, potentially with Max having more ruck minutes than he did earlier in the year when they both played

Decent summary. Surprised people still get Sparrows name wrong though. Tommy is a Gun

Long way to go. Thee heartening aspect to this season is that we seem to be building nicely, whilst some of the other leading sides are starting to look a little shakey. See how the next month pans out

For sure. Macallan is high class. I don't believe I've had the Shery cask but have had a few bottles over the years

Talisker for me Although if I'm going to nurse a fair few, a good speyside malt like the Balvenie is hard to go past

I really dont know which side of the coin to back with the whole 'Rest the best' Vs 'All go again' debate. I'll back the FD to make the right call, potentially a mixture of both approaches.

Agree. Think he deserves a game and no better opportunity to give him one than this week

Dedicated to the hapless sides that face our front half press. Also a dead set banger 🌶 https://youtu.be/CgSiTNJKUr0

No idea why people don't love Browny. Great person and champion footy player, in his Twilight years but shouldn't have his own teams fans wishing him into retirement

Still rate the tigers but I think the showdown result shows the form were building (crows are a decent side). Take the 4 points and move on.

Keen to hear Binners thoughts on the Crows last quarter. Do you think Burgo had them doing a loading block even though they probably miss the eight, or was that just pure hunger?

Hunter won't be dropped. Having a brilliant season imo. Hibbo is a good in. But won't be for a tall. Probably comes in for Bowzer or McVee? Both stiff. Interested to see if Grundy comes back this week or next. If he does, does Roo come out or BBBB? I think we can only play with 2 of 3 in the team.

Win is a win. Im happy enough. We're still tinkering to find the right mix but still winning too.
