Why is our team being leaked 24 hours before due to be released. Geelong (A good club) would have named Smith forward then brought Grundy in 20 minutes before the bounce.

Cause its the nice thing to do. 🤗
 




My reading on the game is we’re going to lose a close one because we don’t have Jayden Hunt anymore

If ive learnt anything from the draft and trade board over the years its: premiership player = worth a 2nd round pick minimum.
If we fell for it with premiership heroes like Chris Dawes and Lumumba then surely every other team will.
 
Carlton are missing McKay, Walsh, Cerra, Kennedy, Silvagni, McGovern, Williams. Surely we go in confident. Curnow and Jack Martin are the only two we really need to keep quiet in the F50. We should be winning this by 5 goals.

Motlop is actually in a decent bit of form and kicking a couple each week, but otherwise spot on. Also the contrast between this board and the Saints board is amazing when it comes to pre-game discussion. Posts are generally sensible and reasonable, feels weird.

On that note, I'm incredibly scared of what Max Gawn is gonna do to our ruck/clearance game this weekend. I won't bother worrying about Petracca as it's just a given he's going to absolutely trash us as usual.

Imagine how good it would be if it turned out the Grundy selection was just another Goodwin lie.

If your coaches have any sense they'll be having De Koning sprint forward and make Max and Grundy if he plays to chase him into the forward line, while Pittonet does the majority of the leg work around the ground. Hurting our rucks by kicking goals on them is something a few sides have done well.

Gawn will win the hitouts easily enough but doesn't always translate into clearances for us.

Think the game will come down to whether you can get us to waste the ball going forward as we are very prone to doing and if so, can you transition into scoring opportunities.

Or if Stafford has told Tomlinson they'll pull a swifty and put him in as a late change for Grundy but then doesn't.
Invite Dunstan to the coaches office for some significant news. When he gets there ask him to let Clarry know he's playing his comeback game on Saturday.

Goody invites Grundy, Dunstan and Tommo into his office. On his desk are three plastic cups. He says under one of these cups is a ball. Whoever selects the cup with the ball will play on Saturday.

Grundy picks first - no ball. Dunstan goes second - no ball. Tommo is over the moon, his hand is almost shaking as he picks up the last cup... no ball.

Goody cracks up and tells them it was all a joke and Ben Brown is playing on Saturday. Greg Stafford is at the back of the office in hysterics.

Even Greg Stafford's dog seemed to be laughing.

I think though, you still have too many match winners. We have a couple, literally. But as was the case last year, when the chips are down you have a half dozen that will make that play, that can turn that 25% chance into something, that can do what needs to be done. Gawn still the best player in the comp for me.
