My guy telling me Rash is back this week, however possibly as the sub.

Start as sub or sub him off?

Didn't say exactly, but read as starting sub

My guy telling me Rash is back this week, however possibly as the sub.

Sub makes sense to me. I know there’s an argument that if he’s ready then he’s ready. I just think that if we do get away with him coming on part way through the 3rd, it’s our best outcome.

I don't mind it.

 

[Danger Zone]

I promised the toddler I would take him to the zoo after I got my tickets. The queue is moving so slowly. I hate that people open up multiple queues so that they get multiple chances to get a low number, but today I probably should have done that. He is getting impatient haha.

 

[Trigger13]

But then do you pick him now and play him for a half so he is right to go for the prelim....? Or just leave him out for the year (which they won't do).

I’m leaning to sub

 

[BunjiMC]

I’m leaning to sub

I agree. He will be underdone but you have to play talent. And if by some miracle we make it to the GF he will have had 1 or 2 games as sub under his belt and can play out a full game.

 

[Betts are off]

At this point I think we almost have to send Max to Sicily.

If we get beaten after another intercepting defender has a 10+ intercept game on us (most of which being uncontested marks) Ill go out of my mind

 

[Rory Walkerfield]

Bond on Watson scares the living bejesus out of me.

We need to drop atleast one of bond or smith, our team is way too heavy on defenders.

Fk me. Why are people obsessed with moving Max into the forward line.

Put him on Watson. Set and forget.

 

[dblstR]

Tickets were a lot smoother for the pies game. It's just spinning when hitting next on best available..

Smith will be dropped.

Can anyone tell me for AFL Finals what the appropriate split of tickets is between the home team and the away team? Seems that the home ground advantage is somewhat diluted by the presence of a massive travelling contingent.

Who on Ginivan then.

 

[dblstR]

What a shit experience. I just finally got tickets and paid and its put me back in the queue and I can't even load the website to see if it actually went through

No one is sure but sounds like the allocation is based on % of membership. nobudy seems to know though how it works.

I think all members of the competing clubs have equal opportunity.

 

[dblstR]

Back in a queue of 25k. What an absolute joke I am going to be filthy if I miss out on tickets.

My personal opinion is that playing Rash would be a very silly, desperate move. He would have had two weeks of full training under his belt. Zero match fitness and next to zero contact. You can’t throw someone, even with his talent, into a hot final against Hawks and expect him to perform under those circumstances. My guess is he won’t be picked at all.

This is do or die. He MUST play.

 

[jenny61_99]

No doubt.

Despite this, i hope we still win, as will mean heaps to our young group to win a final, rather than go out in straight sets.

With the added bonus of playing an away prelim at the G. All good valuable experience.

 

[Bob Neil]

Got to get the defensive matchups right this week. Here’s what I’d do:

• Keane on Chol
• Murray on Dear/Lewis
• Worrell on Gunston
• Bond on Watson
• Michalanney on Ginnivan
• Laird on Moore

What I don’t want to see - which I think we’ve been caught out on in recent weeks - is Murray getting caught on a mismatch with a small to midsized opponent. They’ve got a fleet of smalls (the above plus Butler, MacDonald) they can run thru their forward line so when they go small we need to react quickly rather than ‘relying on our structure’.

Looking at those match-ups I'd back us to win all of them!
