Reverse psychology and cheer him every time he gets the ball?

I was thinking something similar as a tactic - when targeting a player get the whole crowd to laugh when they get a possession!

Give it legs

He's the enemy this weekend but I don't mind Ginni
Game needs personalities

I can’t say I really enjoy the way he carries on, but, he’s playing the heel, and I guess the fact that he annoys me means he’s doing it well.

I don’t think I’m more likely to tune in to a Hawks game because of him though.

Can anyone here put their hand on heart and honestly say they're confident of us beating the Hawks? Odds for them are getting shorter and shorter, they will probably be faves by game time.

I have no confidence in us. If I put a bet on the hawks we will just as likely turn up and win. Thats generally how we roll. Win when you least expect them too and generally let you down when you expect them to win.

We have no finals experience and struggle with front on pressure all season the only reason we are favoured currently is because it's at Adelaide oval

And even then, we are barely favourites. The Hawks are now under $2, and rightfully so.

How much finals experience did we have in 97? I think too much is made of that. I just think we were (are) poorly coached and our players are mentally weak.

Take one for the team & put a bet on the Hawks.

We had an experienced finals coach!

Ok so with Pedlar in and someone drops out - Smith? Taylor? from last time.

I posted this all last night in this thread.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Possible changes since last time we played...

Michaelanny for Smith
Laird for Bond (or Hinge)
Rachele for Rankine
Pedlar for Cook

Smith? (would prefer Dowling) for Jones (sub)

We should have a stronger side even with the loss of Rankine

Well he's damned experienced now after last week...let's see how he responds. Hopefully quicker than his non existent in game moves.

Half the team sick and we are still doing meet and greets.
Nothing like learning slowly...

I think the potential impact of illness for this game is being underestimated. This is the elite series of games of an elite competition. Being 1% off your best can be the difference between winning and losing.

We all know he learns from his mistakes & never repeats them... if only.

Blight knew how to motivate through daring to dream. All he wanted was effort and for players to take pride in themselves.

Thank you.

So we are stronger just need no dumb coaching decisions from the coaches box.

You’d probably say that’s a win for us to be fair.

Hawks are favourites

60/40 Hawks way

Yeah I think we are an equal chance

Not confident at all, actually resigned to losing, winning will be a nice surprise
