Time has come no more close losses. Win or more than likely season is over which will be a huge disappointment. No, I do not think we have had the team to go all the way, but we are good enough to play finals. Let's prove it.
 
Optimistic with Grub Greene out. Dogs by 16. 😁
 
According to analysts this game is our contested ball and more inside 50's V their run and gun from the backline. I guess this means our one wood of driving the ball inside could also be our Achillies Heel. If we are sloppy with our forward 50 entries and do not put enough pressure on their defenders, they are going to get us on the rebound. It is how they belted Sydney in the second half, and I think it is why Bevo has gone with this team. A fit motivated Arty with his close down speed would have been handy but too much of a risk with only one game back.


To grab above the average contested marks would be handy. Sam, I think he gets Taylor probably the best aerial defender in the comp if he can win that battle I think we win for sure. Astro gets Aleer who has a great vertical leap but may lack some smarts down back similar to Buku so hoping Astro continues his good form.

When the ball hits the ground it up to Westy, McNeill and VDM if either are not sub to apply the pressure and prevent as much rebound as possible.

Ever game now, till the GF....is a D-Day.
Drop 1 more and its over for us for the finals.
You can't count on other results, and be happy making the finals.

So just win the next 8 straight, right?

:think: What's our longest ever winning streak again?
 
COGs is named to play on the ball, he is completely fried.
 
Remember when Nat Fyfe was cooked last year and then played on ball and had 37 disposals and torched us. 😭
From memory had something like 25 handballs.

I had to look it up
8 in a row back in 1945
9 in a row is the doggies longest winning streak 1 year later in 1946.

We can absolutely get to the finals, its just our record vs the top 8 is.....1-8?
Very likely one our worst records against top 8 teams.

If we somehow drop this, we’re nowhere near good enough for finals, so it is what it is. Can write the season off and play the kids
And when we lose we say it’s because the kids aren’t up to it.

I couldn't be less nervous about this one. It's not that I don't care, I just have no expectations for the rest of this year. Playing finals would be a bonus but I certainly don't expect it. Just hoping for a few hours of entertainment tonight while I enjoy my steak sandwich and red rock deli chips for supper.
