Comparing both teams our midfield looks a lot better but unfortunately looking at the forward and back match ups they have us covered pretty easily, we’ll need our mids to absolutely destroy theirs for us to win this.
Tipping Tigers by 3 goals.
No they don't.
 
This. Let us play our game instead of worrying about theirs. Henry said after the Brisbane game they were going to focus mostly on their game than Richmonds.
And ‘OUR’ game isn’t zone off, guard the space footy. Despite what Scott insists

With good reason though

I was confident this week until Scott doubled down on his full ****** move of picking Buzza and Simpson for the Adelaide game.
 
I'm confused - there seems to have been a push about a month ago for Abbott to debut and that we "need" to see what he can do because otherwise he was a wasted draft pick. But now that he is being given his chance at senior level there are complaints that he is debuting, questions being asked about why in such an "important" match (considering we need to keep winning not sure theres any non-"important" matches left) and that it means Stanley is in serious doubt.

How about we back in Abbott to debut and actually see how he goes rather than writing him off or questioning his selection before we have even given him a chance at senior level

Stanley will play.

Good call with the second ruckman, we need to win the clearances, thats when we look the best, when we control the ball out of the middle. Having the 1-2 punch in the ruck helps to maximize our ability to contest in the ruck and win those clearances. Maybe some doubt over Stanley now though but i hope we give the 2 ruckman a go at some point, i think it could be a big advantage for us.
 
He's not a defensive player, attacking half back or wing. Stewart going down means we need either a defensive player down back or to replace Henry up forward. Jackson does neither.

I don't think this is the end so much as the available role wasn't his bag.
So if Thurlow lines up in deep defence during the game it will mean maybe you have absolutely no idea on what type of player he is? It will be interesting to see where he lines up, imo he will play... and on form deserves to.
 
We all melt over something. You 'quit' for instance because DM was omitted for a final.
The ZG furore is OTT. He's a kid being thrown in the deep end, what he needs is a lot of gym sessions and lots of VFL footy.
One I embrace melting and see it as a good thing when justified. You seem ashamed of melting. And my melt was justified. Didnt kick our first goal until a couple of minutes before half time against a team we beat weeks earlier with a heap of stars out. All my melts prove accurate. But Rhys Stanley pre season. Not only did you want him out of the team but kicked out of the club. Wowee could you get that one more wrong? :D

Cos smith has come back and this game is effectively a final for us. No top 4 if we lose.

To which he's already received praise for it.

Do you guys think Abbott and Stanley will split the ruck 50/50 or will abbott mainly be forward? I think the 2 rucks will work for you guys because nank looked cooked last week and you can take advantage against grigg as wel
Stanley will play against Nankervis and then follow him to the bench then Abbott will move into the ruck
 
Stanley will play against Nankervis and then follow him to the bench then Abbott will move into the ruck
Or Abbott will ruck against Nankervis and go off when he goes off leaving Jack Henry to leave his forward post and ruck against Grigg. Whom he should beat.
