Does 69 GFs come from 63 SANFL GFs + 2 AFL GFs + 4 COAs?

Most probably. I don’t have the numbers now, but it adds up, doesn’t it?

I am really excited about this game!! I love watching our side play and we have incredible talent on every line so I’m just lapping it up before we inevitably get pillaged XD

West Coast have a very potent forward line, and its still really hard to tell where our midfield is at since they really haven’t been challenged so it could be a difficult game for us and it certainly shapes to be a very important one.

(also I found out I can have purple text so that’s never changing) :3

Incredibly nervous yet excited about this game.the last two didn't prove anything in my eyes. These are the ones we need to win to actually prove ourselves. Not celler dweller belongs.

It doesn’t matter. Playing at the MCG should be our goal. We must believe we can win; otherwise, we would have lost the game before it started.

“Los de afuera son de palo” (those outside are made of wood), famously said the Uruguayan captain before the 1950 World Cup final. They won it, after conceding the first goal, when Brazil played for a tie.

That’s the spirit!

I think the post isn’t about playing at the G but the system is bent to Bic sides after their 2006 review

I know. But it is what it is.

 

[Us against the rest]

What to do, and ability to do it, are different things. Nick Nat touched up Big Scooter at Carrara last year.

Well you got this right, he demolished us.

 

[Us against the rest]

I think your lot break down the Eagles system better than any side in the comp, although Richmond seem to defuse us in a similar vein.

I have recurring nightmares about the ball being locked in your front half and repeat entry after repeat entry until our defenders are out on their feet.

I think you will improve your record again but hopefully it's a cracking match and we stay in the fight for 4 quarters.

You forgot about the Hinkley factor.
