Me too. Hope to see a nice win against the odds. It's good being able to measure ourselves against some very good opposition in the run home but I can see us picking up plenty of battle scars along the way - both physical and to a lesser extent mental. Dogs win yesterday was not all that different to our final round win against the cats last year. Lots of sore bodies after that clash.

Last week we won thanks to Kozzy Last night they won due to Ugle Hagan. Dogs played a good game and one player was the difference.

There are some crazy emotional posts in this thread. Fit BBB and Lever would come in, but I do t think you need to change much. Jamara played a blinder and was the difference.

Fitsch tried to center to ANB in that last when he should have had a ping. Media wins

Tough game. God damn. Glad that wasn't a sudden death final. Onwards and upwards

I expect a similar plot line to the port game. Tough, tight game. Dees win

Hard to argue with that logic. But how does Gus fit into this theory?

Spoken like a man with an Electric Wizard Avatar. *slow heavy music playing*

Freo have prior. Handing out B and Fs to Pav to make him stay in WA etc.

Go well Sam. The fast pace of matches at Marvel might help him. Coupled with the fact he will be the primary target in F50.

I guess I must just hate watching games there because it feels like a shoot-out on the smaller ground

Yes mate, I'll be there. I wouldn't count on a big contingent of dees support tho. Was at the Eagles game earlier in the year and thought we might have a decent showing of fans but it was relatively small amount - perhaps all of the finals converts were Eagles fans?!

I must be scarred because I'd feel alot more comfortable if the game was being played at the G

Next two weeks are pivotal. Dogs at Marvel isn't the same proposition as playing them at the G, and they will want to do some damage to help step towards trying to heal the GF loss. Dockers at Optus is also huge - quality team at a hostile venue. Loading or poker tactics no longer can be used as excuses. We will get a good read on where we're at against 2 quality teams at less than ideal venues with top 4 on the line.

Watched the Goodes doco on Netflix recently and Dermie said some things back then that haven't aged well. His views on Daisy are also a decade or 2 behind the times. Goody summed it up well.

Tomlinson and Bedford to make way for Petty and Oliver imo. I get the impression Milkshake was picked to help with our forward half connection and I can't see him being dropped - look for him to get a role on Daniel etc.

This is the biggest non issue IMO. The media are trying to keep the narrative of us struggling up front going. These sorts of things happen alot in most games and the counter argument is that we've often butchered the ball in the F50 trying to be too unselfish in more recent times- I don't mind a forward backing themselves to kick a goal if they think it's kickable. When Petracca has set shots form 55 on tigh angles and doesn't make the distance or kicks points it doesn't become a media circus.

We were discussing Lobbs value, not Luke's!

To a club in the Window that needs a proven tall I'd say early 2nd round.

Disagree. If he played for a VIC based team he would get alot more kudos. Very good player imo

Lobby, a top 10 pick and another 1st rounder would be ok with me

Sparrow into the pure mid role and milkshake to HFF? Rivers is a good addition to our side imo

Outs: the Ginger Ninjas; Clarry, Petty and Bowza Makes us weaker on paper but the team is still strong enough to win imo

Saty!!

Haha yesterday I got a YouTube notification for the clip of Angus on a mobile phone to a 100 yr old member.....I was hoping he was announcing that he had re-signed?! Total troll move by the social media team
