Smith and Murphy both unbalancing the side and basically forcing the team into a very small selection of changes they can make via the sub move.

Given Murphy's performances in 4th quarters I wonder if we'll get a season low output from the sub position this week.

Some light showers earlier but relatively dry underfoot on the walk in. Still think longer stops on the boots will be a good option on a softer deck but the ball will have grip. Predictably poor crowd for a Sunday arvo winter game against a Vic team having a poor year (and notably fickle fan base).

Sun is out now so all in all great conditions for football.
 
If Smurphy has to be in the team, I'll take him as the sub. Means he's 1 step closer to being dropped.
I know my expectations are high for him but I'm thinking his stat line will be 3 possessions, 1 tackle, 0 score involvements and 4 clangers.
 
Is it just me but this timeslot isn't that bad for away games.

You get stuff done early in the day, then you get the big lead in on 7 and Fox that makes it feel like it's a bigger game than it is.

Some of the other timeslots you get a 10 min lead in.

Not a terrible time slot, 10:15pm on a Saturday Night

Course these days, that is past my bedtime but hey--20-25 years ago it was perfect 🤣

He is the sub. But if it is a close game activating the sub at 3 quarter time may not be the most wise decision. Play him in a defensive role, he can tackle.

I think the Tigers are going to make us earn this one. We cannot be complacent.

Helps there’s no 12:10/12:40 game on Fox as well

I have no trust in us at all. Any time i have an expectation, we lose so I reside myself to whatever happens, happens.
