No stupid shit comes out of anyone’s mouths at the club this year please!

Don't change a winning structure that'd be stupid. Expecting Marshall who's done nothing forever to come back from a month off with concussion to start kicking goals and competing is extremely hopeful.

If Marshall managed 1 goal it would be as many as Ratugolea has kicked in a month.

Happy for him to stay in if we have one of the 3 starters out, but if Dixon, Georgiades and Marshall are fit, Ratugolea has to go out. He's done nothing to stake a claim ahead of Marshall in the 5 games he's been given.

Regardless of his actual output, do you think it is a good idea bringing in a guy straight in from a 4 week hiatus from football (where the one game he featured in he lasted a quarter)?

Who is injury prone?

And wasn't in great form to begin with. Just seems insane to me.

Farrell replacement is a funny one.

Do you rob the forward line of DBJ, who is one of our only damaging forwards (sadly)?

Do you throw Rozee back and see what it looks like?

Or do you back in Sinn who is every chance of shitting the bed?

Tricky one

Safe bit put Narkle there . Narkle , Rioli , HF and Evans will be decent ....

You just know if Farrel is out Ken moved DBJ back to have an excuse of mac n cheese forward

Can anyone really picture on grand final day “number 41, jed mcentee” nah not me either

I can and it might be the greatest moment of my life if it were to happen. I can just imagine the absolute chaos this board would fall into.

He had 8 disposals in that one quarter though.

Ratugolea just hasn't taken his opportunity. We miss Marshall's lead up work and delivery inside 50. Our ball movement in transition has been average for weeks. Ratugolea just hasn't done enough to make any risk playing Marshall poses not worth taking.

Sinn for Farell. Narkle back in as sub. Charlie in.

Hope Allir’s stinger was ok… Marshall gonna have to watch.

 

[glitch01]

The main change for this game is I’ll be in Adelaide in 2 weekends time.
I’m hoping we play either Thursday or Sunday purely because I already have things planned that I can’t change on the Friday and Saturday .
When I booked my trip all I was concerned about was my son’s 21st and catching up with mates (haven’t been home since 2018). Didn’t expect us to be playing a home final!!!

McEntee: 5 possessions, 1 goal in a full game = flirting

Narkle: 5 possessions, 1 goal in half a quarter as a sub = harassment

What chance do you honestly think he has of completing the match ?

I agree Rat is limited but you won't have your heart in your mouth each time there's a contest the risk is just far too big m8

 

[Peninsula Boy]

I'm concerned about the matchup on Stengle.

Evans

 

[Gryllis]

I think Ken goes what he thinks is the safe option and puts DBJ back and plays all of McEntee, Evans and Narkle (sub).

I think that's robbing our forwardline too much for finals. Hopefully it'll only end up being 1 game Faz misses, but I'd be leaning towards Sinn to reduce disruptions at the other end of the ground.

 

[davo999]

I’d bring in Sinn for Farrell , Dixon for Dante , Narkle for McEntee , Jed does put his head over the ball and apply pressure but Frank the tank and Narkle do that as well at the moment and offer a bit more offensively.

 

[b0ydman Jr]

I find it a little fkd that we are first Thursday. Back from Perth, last game of this round. I mean if we had a concussion tonight, that bloke wouldnt be right to go.....

Isn't next week the pre-finals bye? So Thurs v Friday v sat doesn't matter

 

[Visenfest]

Out: Visentini, McEntee, Farrell
In: Dixon, Narkle, Sinn

If Farrell is fit, keep him in.

Pretty good, he's completed most of his matches this year, playing the first 17 in a row. Despite going off injured in 2 matches since, one was a hip and one was a concussion, so completely unrelated.

 

[PAFC66]

Are they saying Thursday night?

11 days is concussion protocol.

He had 7 and 5 tackles.

 

[Scodges]

And keep DBJ in the backline unless Farrell is good to go

Yeah 100%
