Agreed, however Finn has shown he can dominate VFL games, which I don't recall Bianco, Ruscoe and Tyler Brown doing, atleast anywhere near as often as him.
Hopefully he can find some form and he'll be away
Its quite hilarious seeing Macrae written off after one game, in what is the toughest trip in footy against an experienced midfield.
Setting him for failure playing him sub for 2 weeks then throwing him against the wolves, play him against the Hawks then reassess after the bye
We won a flag which ultimately is all that matters, however I think we may have made a mistake delisting Bianco and Ruscoe in particular. We don't have a mountain of young talent coming through and reckon Ruscoe in particular could've pushed selection this year
I sort of agree with others in here, I had Sydney and GWS in my top 4 before the season, and they have done nothing to suggest they won't be in the top few sides this year.
Yes we have been extremely disappointing the last 2 weeks but we've played quality opposition, unfortunately we have...
Frampton has to come in, he's shown he can provide a contest, something that AJ didn't do tonight. Can play ruck and could be needed down back as Sydney have 3 talls, and we looked too short down there tonight
Ok well the fact he hasn't picked up another head injury since the GF is promising, by the sounds of it when he feels he wants to come back he'll be in, as long as he gets through all the contact training
Will definitely be Geelong or Melbourne.
Can't be any of the other Big 4, and all the other Vic teams aren't 'big' or won't be played Friday night R1 as the AFL will want a close game
I am confused, throught the NRL games in Vegas were on March 2/3. AFL will not start that early
Wouldn't the NRL be playing in Sydney on weekend March 9/10, defeating the purpose of beginning the season in NSW
Interesting way to put it
If Adams had've got up and played in the GF would he have requested a trade? Personally if he's just won a flag there is no way he leaves IMO
If people are saying Schultz will just take Adams' forward role, I'm not sure how that would jeopardise Ginnivan's spot, as I see McCreery playing some midfield minutes next year
However, if we are looking at playing Macrae for Adams' midfield minutes, then. Schultz would likely be replacing...
Don't think we will, but after the pre-GF fiasco + 'rumours' other clubs are interested makes it an interesting watch
Hopefully he just puts his head down and tries to knuckle down a spot, because if he wants it there is a spot there for him in the 22
They should, but Murph was integral and...
Schultz would be a massive get but still feel like overall it would be a net loss, if we lose Adams, Ginnivan(?), and Murphy potentially having just delisted Ruscoe who would've been a vying for that spot
Ginnivan and Murphy both quite young, in comparison to our list
If Freo are going to play...
Think these guys we drafted around 2020/21, Ruscoe, Poulter, Henry, Macrae, Bianco were all an eye to future replacements for Pendles, Sidey etc.
Our 2021 was so poor, if 2022 was just as bad, Pendles even said on his podcast (I think) he would've probably retired. These guys were the perfect...
Bump
Interestingly when we were ravaged with injuries to our talls, where we only played 5/6 talls between Round 4-11 we went on our winning run. Obviously losing McStay isn't ideal but it could be a blessing in disguise if we go in smaller on Saturday. I have more faith in Noble or Adams...
Whoever they bring in, it's critical we don't alter our backline Howe must remain back at all costs.
Our last 3 games we have conceded
31 - Essendon
53 - Melbourne
57 - GWS
It would be ludicrous to mess with what was won us our 2 finals.
At times last night IMO our forward looked a bit...
Think I'd probably rather Brisbane win tonight, have a better chance at beating Melbourne than Port and I still think the Dees are our biggest threat. Port probably the easier PF opponent as well.
In saying that it would be good to see the Lions knocked off at the Gabba
I'd assume the team will be the same as last weeks without Reef & Carmy
Fin plays a full game as I doubt he'll be playing AFL. No other players against Essendon should be considered IMO
