Would have been close to last on my list for inclusions this week.

But I trust the MC implicitly, they haven't put a foot wrong this year.

Which means he's the right choice.

If nothing else it seems to have thrown a massive spanned into the media. I wouldn’t be surprised if this sways a few neutral supporters.
Poor media. All their recycled articles from previous grand final weeks got thrown out the window. Now they have to right something "insightful"

You can’t debut a bloke in a Grand Final.
You can’t use a midfielder as your 2nd ruck in a Grand Final.
You can’t send a 5th gamer to the opposition’s best mid in a Grand Final.
You can’t have a female president.

We’re writing our own story here.

On form, he'd be selected so why not?

This selection whilst seen as courageous by some or risky by others says to me that the MC is hard nosed. We are not about to take any prisoners on the big stage.

Like for like GWS, you say you’ve got hard ar..ses in Greene whom most regard as reckless, and Mummy who will throw his weight around because he couldn’t give a ***** as it is his last game.

We are prepared for your so called heat.

We have the harder edge and we know what to do at the big dance.

If GWS and the AFL want a show off FLAG, well 2019 is not yours.

The Tigers will bullock you, rise to your threat and not yield.

We are the Club of 2019.

We are not fake, we are not pretentious.

Tiger spirit and resolve will prevail, whether the game is close or more likely a blow out after part way through the third.

We will be cheering as Tommy’s beloved widow presents the Premiership Cup to a fine fellow, the Richmond Captain, Trent Cotchin.

Yes, I’m pumped but rather our team has the process and the measure of their opponents, whether they be on the field, the AFL or media.

I have been nervous all week, but this has made me calm.

Spook on fire.

Im more inclined to find a poll somewhere on the interweb asking

Will a comet hit earth?

Than vote on this

Beautifully said. I can see all this crystallising into reality on Saturday

In the system we trust. I wish Marlion an awesome match. Win or lose, I had us shutting up shop after round 13 with all of the injuries and the spanking by Adelaide . To even be here is way beyond my expectations for 2019. Marlion's inclusion is the icing on top. Go get them Marlion!

If we lose this will not be the call that made it happen anyway.

Sheds might be a chance for the Norm also.

If this was round 15 he would be playing in the seniors based on form. You have to make the decision on warm and his form warranted promotion.
