Braddles is one of our greatest ever players and anyone who says otherwise should punch themselves in the face.

I'll start swinging if anyone dares to have an opposing opinion.

I reckon there's a high chance we go un-changed into next week. I would probably like to see Carroll go back to the VFL for a couple weeks and us bring in another marking target up forward.

Is Martin's calf good to go? Do we give Kemp a shot up forward? Does Fog get another chance to try and solidify a spot in the team?

Like Walsh without the inside game....(ducks)
 
bradley was an aerobic freak, I recall when his taggers were flagging, he'd have them follow him around the centre square pre-bounce so they couldn't rest - eventually he'd break them, he'd reach a pain threshold too but just push through it - sublime, so much time, beautiful off both feet but usually only had to use his favoured right, he never ever stopped running........it's ok to be a fully outside player if you're as fit as he was, lob has that in his favour but can't read the game the way 21 did..........have a look at some of this stuff:

I spoke to the great man at a pre function one night back in 2013, I asked him about his training regime and that he looked fit enough to still play. He said basically he just ran (over and above club training) every single day no matter what, still did to that day. He reckons even if he got out on the p!$$, he would punish himself with a huge run. Even if he had a cold or flu, he would still run. Absolute beast!

What a player. Moment 1: Shows Matera (no less) a clean pair of heals, runs gets a one two from Macca, then the boo-na- na from the boundary. Magic.

Need to be mindful of effect Moore can have. Might need Kemp to ensure Moore can't roam freely.

We've been much better since the Hawks game at avoiding enemy interceptors - a little mentioned area of improvement given we we so diabolical at it in 2020/21
 
I actually feel like we play better overall when we score more slowly, but maybe you just can't keep a hurricane in a bottle
I agree with this - adrenaline is a double edged sword --with so many young players I think they burn a lot of energy in the excitement of it all - then go into the break and it's a huge come down leaving one mentally and physically fatigued .. the games where we wrestle along till half time then flick the switch probably suit this young group.. but when you have the momentum you need to take it ..
Once the group learn to control there emotions a little more it will even out.
You don't see many teams reach a pressure height we did in the second quarter with the age profile we had ever ..
 
Because someone made a comment essentially that Bradley was an example of being good player without being particularly physical.
Would love a Bradley type in our current midfield mix, would round us out beautifully.

Great outside run & skill with his raking 60 metre kicks that Kernahan loved would suit Harry & Charlie perfectly.

Not exactly a lock when you've already been dropped once this year. Won't be dropped next week (and not should he) but he isn't a lock

Will only take a couple of bad games in a row and he'll likely find himself out of the side.

No matter ladder position true rivalry games are always a coin toss - even at the height of our shizerhausenry we would always push the Pies (albeit it didn’t result in too many wins) and the Pies are far from bad this year and will field a good side for this fixture.

That said our A game is pretty bloody good and should only get better as the players get more confident in the results it can bring, so I’m hopefully we can assert our strength over them for extended periods.

Given there were no injuries from Friday’s game and the longer break should hopefully help the players recovery I don’t foresee any huge need to make changes.

In general I agree but If you look at our respective forms this should be an easy game for us. We are insanely dominant out of centre bounces and stoppages.
