Our backline is ******* rubbish are we seriously not going to react to that change? It was too tall with Taberner in. fu** sake. Freo were always gonna drop another tall, always.

I reckon our adjustment could be to send Cordy forward as a defensive kpf on Ryan.

Williams Keath Wood
Crozier Gardner Daniel/Duryea/JJ

Looks balanced enough.

 

[weltschmerz]

Last year we had a must-win last H&A game, and we won it. I think the squad for this game is better than the squad for last year's game, for two big reasons - Keath and Libba.

 

[The Inbetweener]

Cordy forward now?

 

[House_of_Dahl]

Not sure I like this. We look too tall and too many defenders. I'd rather we did Cav for Gardner in response.

 

[Hobdog]

Garry Lyon and Gerard Healy part of the commentary. Great.

Just do what I do and don’t have the sound on

Both should make a big difference come finals aswell. Even Bruce won't let the younger guys get pushed around

 

[Golden_6]

Definitely one tall too many now. Cordy and Wood will both be chasing around a smaller forward. Both can do it adequately but they don’t give us enough offensive drive to make it work.

Keep in mind we were up against an imploding Crows. Have never been as relaxed about a must win game.

Out Gardner? In a runner?

BTW there is no way they have withdrawn Taberner for structure reasons (though it might be they’ve known all week he was injured and picked another tall they wouldn’t have otherwise).

He’s having a ripping year.

Not concerned about it. Wood often plays his best footy when he can run off, which he usually can’t when playing on a tall.

 

[grassman75]

The more i think about it, the more i realize Melbourne do not deserve to be in the finals. They are poop. The tripe they turned out yesterday against the Bombers was poop. We, even with limitations, are a better side

Taberner is 5th in the Coleman and 2nd in contested marks. He should make the AA squad at least, a big loss for them.

I feel sick.

Quad apparently

 

[Oliver G]

Weirdly feeling more nervous about this game than I probably would in an elimination final.

 

[The_torpedo]

I'm simeltaneously both confident yet nervous about this game. I hope we smash em

Yes, a few posters were suggesting that Freo were always going to drop a tall but it seems this is just an injury.

All of Cordy, Naughton, Wood and Keath (and I guess even Gardner) are pretty agile and good at ground level so it doesn’t concern me.

I have decided to tempt fate and I have just ordered the ultimate Lucky Meal. Free delivery and $5 off is all my loyalty is worth.

I am getting a "Trump Tower Bbq Brisket Burger Combo" which is slow cooked brisket, a Wagyu beef patty, slaw, sliced pickles, onion rings, cheddar cheese and a smoked bbq sauce with a side of chips and a lemon, lime and bitters.(Probably invented by you-know-who himself.)

If that doesn't win it for us, then at least it just might kill me so I won't have to suffer after a loss.

P.S. - Please do not tell the Joe Biden campaign on me. I might be kicked out of the Democratic Party and I haven't had the opportunity to vote Chicago-style(three times minimum) for Joe yet.



Please, no hate.

And here it is.




The lemon lime and bitters was handmade, not from a bottle.

No matter what happens at least we'll have a go

As long as we have fun we are the real winners.

Cam Mooney still going with the story that Grubby Greene was “protecting his space “ in a marking contest . And now umpires are confused
