Meggs

WEST Coast coach Daisy Pearce has pointed to Carlton's physicality and intensity as the difference in Saturday's elimination final. Dees, we have to bring the heat, no excuses. C’mon. Let’s put the Lions back in their cage …

Good thoughts @Timothy Reddan-A'Blew Meggs is quietly confident for Sunday. Two check sides from Sophie Conway and a fluke from Ruby S last time are unlikely to be repeated. On Rigoni, Mick gave her run-with roles on Fish in R10 and Ellenger in R11. Rested in R12, could he recall Jemma for a role on Hodder this week? 🤔 Everyone is rooting for Maevo’s hamstring to be chipper for Sunday, she is so important to our chances.

@Dees_In_October Meggs has been sleuthing for us. Mick has missed only one game, 2021 R8 when Jane Lange stepped in (Mick chose not to travel to Fremantle awaiting the arrival of his second child, Jack). So he is coaching his 98th game this week and with the double-chance locked in Mick will hit the ton this season. Very exciting.

Thanks @Ghostwriter , I checked the aflwstats.com website Meggs uses and it added the St Kilda game where Lampy must have been a late withdrawal.

Lampy has played 75 games according to https://aflwstats.com/player/Sarah_Lampard

Good thought. It would be awesome for Milly to debut. She is really strong, aerobic, and has tagged well at VFLW. Looking at the extended bench, only Milly and Maggie would be considered 'mids' but not direct replacements for Heater. Who is? Dingo is the probably the safe option together with a mids reshuffle. Mick could send Chappy into the centre to create some havoc.

Denby time. She debuted for the Red and Blue in the Freo away game last season. Showcased her speed and neat skills. Give her a run Mick.

Meggs recognises @BDA for the inspiration for this weeks match report title 😁 thank you ! And (if true) what a bummer for Liv. Another ACL. She had worked so hard and was playing career-best footy. It's not fair.

Thanks @Harvey Wallbanger for your post. Meggs would guess the left-footer is Madison Ibrahim. Agree Goldie has to play but Gally is no certainty if Tay is cleared to play. We’ll see.

That’s great news Harvey. Meggs was curious to learn whether any of the top-up players were training today. Jatczak? If Raid and or Chappy are unavailable then we will need to rearrange the defenders. Hopefully Goldie is still on a high and raring to go.
