Do people reckon it's fair to say that tonights match is well and truly the defining match of our season.
WIN and we go 2 games ahead of Collingwood at the foot of the table. Have a 3 - 6 record and our hopes of a 6-6 record at half way are still alive as are our finals aspirations.
LOSE and we will be at the very bottom of the ladder. Collingwood always seem to have a canny knack of turning it on against our boys. Let's hope tonight is not the night.
I agree with many people's theories that we cannot be a successful football team while we don't have Matthew Bode in the starting 18. Ayres clearly had a good old rocket put up his arse by the AFC board last night, but the changes he's made could have disastorous impacts on tonights match.
Ben Hart in, after not playing a game since the semi final last season. Will be majorly underdone. Wouldn't be expecting a BOG performance from him tonight.
Hayden Skipworth. Hopefully he will be able to prove himself, definitely isnt' going to take the game by the scruff of the neck.
Michael Doughty. FRINGE PLAYER. Good skills and sense, but once again will only be a support player for the senior players.
Scott Welsh. We haven't seen the best of this bloke since VS Essendon last season. Hopefully he can turn it on tonight.
Robert Shirley. I honestly don't believe is up to AFL standard but what the hey why not give him another go, compared with some like Matthew Bode who is majorly out of favour but an excellent player.
The players we've brought in are definitely going to have to be guided and fed the ball pretty well by our senior players Roo, Carey, McLeod etc.
Personally I reckon we are on a hiding to nothing tonight and the only thing that will stop us from losing the game, is the fact that Collingwood dno't want to move from the bottom of the ladder and lose priority draft picks.
