O'Brien to be sub

Ground looks pretty bad, going to be a low scoring stoppage game you would think.

Re weather up here.

Supposedly raining on and off until about 3pm.

Should be clear after that.

Having said that - appears the rain is all near the city (about 7mm so far) - but no rain at Homebush…………………

The ground liiks "heavy" on tv.

 

[Red_man2008]

Id be dropping Pittonet for O’Brien and making pitto the sub. Swap him in for TDK at 1/2-3/4 time.

You'd have to be thinking something similar to that. If theres more rain coming we'll need to go smaller.

maybe at some point through the game would be better.

wait and see how game progresses before making a strategic change...hopefully we will not need an injury based change

 

[Healer]

Throw up the ball, for goodness sake

 

[COBALT BLUE]

O'Brien to be sub

 

[Elmer_Judd]

The good news is Howie, Underwood and Dal Santo are calling the Hawks v Norf game, so we are spared the nightmare/ears bleeding Fox Footy commentary team

Suspect we will get Huddo, Healy and Kingy, which is far more listenable (don't mind David King so much anymore, think he gets a bad rap tbh)

It's a heavy track, ball will be on the deck more. Drop either Pitto or TDK...not to sub as that is a pretty stupid, tell Harry to ruck inside F50 and try to emulate Hawkins whilst telling our ruckman to stay out of F50 which keeps him fresher with less paddock to cover.

Who gives a * dude. Just mute the campaigners.

 

[Arr0w]

GWS are going in taller than us, don't think our height is an issue

 

[dumb]

I've put some fresh straw in the barn I've made it so soft you can fall asleep when the game is over halfway through the third if you want.

put some milk in the birko and i'm there

 

[Jabba73]

Have we won yet?

 

[Kruezing]

Think we’ll win by a country mile today …

 

[LanceRomance]

I'll be apoplectic of we let toby kick goals after the siren...

He always finds a way

 

[drunkill]

LOB missed the bus




But he's there now

 

[Red_man2008]

Charlie first goal
Harry and Charlie combine for 12 goals
Cripps BOG with 38d 12c 10t and 3 goals.
