Rohan will be the target in GF.
Great post.
Port is really promising but Hawks are much better side.
Good luck today.
See you in GF.

I love Teddy and what he has done but he has bean beaten by JR , Pav ( last 2 games ) and Petrie who if kicked straight would of had 5 or 6.
Team defence I know but I think Roughy could get a hold of him , even Shultz.
Going forward I think he becomes a 3rd tall ( glass role ) as 33 is pushing it playing on the power forwards week in week out but probably for another thread
As ever, our defence is built on playing off and helping each other. Greater than the sum of its parts and all that jazz. Richards and Grundy are fair to good one on one but they aren't Daniel Talia or Harry Taylor by any means. Nick Smith is great one on one and Dane Rampe is getting there nicely in that regard too (while on the lesser forwards, Shaw, Rohan and Malceski are very solid too) but our two big defenders generally need help from each other, the other defenders, or from the midfield ensuring that the ball coming inside 50 is patchy and not free-flowing.
Grundy should be fine against Hale/Ceglar who won't be able to burn him on leads but Roughead poses a big threat to Richards. He'll need help and a bit of it if we are going to keep him under 4 goals I feel.

All starts in the middle if we let them get clearance after clearance then yer Richards is vulnerable, we control the middle then Roughhead threat scales down considerably.

Anyhow, have a Winfield 25.

Kudos to Shaw. He got behind him when he had a shocker in the first half against Freo.
Every time Rohan ran the ball Shaw would go and pat him on the back.

That guy
I can't see Kenny in that picture.
is there a reason it only shows the top half of Kurt?

Not sure why everyone is worried about Roughie.
I am more concerned with shutting down Schulz and Robbie Grey
The King!
Chosen One
Agree long term thats why if we keep membrey i think reid is the answer back
For this week i have faith in team defence, ted still intercept marks, but he probably needs more help than previously. But if our midfield allow their forwards (whoever we play) one out ted will be in trouble especially lace out, but continual entries even the best defender is under the pump

Apart from reviving (had a great night everyone that I saw was so lovely and welcoming). Name change imminent!

- Kidding, right?
Top half? That's about the top quarter only.
There's no lens built that can capture that long torso.
If I were cruel I would post that pic of Tippo on Adelaide's 12345645 pge Tippett thread.
So you are going to do it.
Great to McGlynn and Rohan esp get a shot as at a Grand Final.
Good position to be in, no injury concerns, no players reported to distract the club from the build up.

I've just got home, nursing a hangover and my throats red raw.
What a game. If we can keep this going into next week we'll give it a decent old crack.
Ben McGlynn you're almost there buddy, your hard work has got you where you wanted to go, you can see home over the horizon. Only one more hill for you to climb and you've reached your destination. Nobody deserves this more than you! Make it yours!
And Luke Parker doesn't need All Australian, I'd prefer a Norm Smith too!
We're so close, here comes the most excruciating, agonizing week of our lives. This week is going to be hell, and I love it..
Up the Bloods!!!
