This is our biggest game before the finals, no doubt about it, till we play the eagles in Rd 22 as the stakes will be higher again, and that will be our biggest game before the finals till we play Brisbane in the last round.
We have a great testing run to the finals, perfect preparation and I think the club it playing it well.
Would like no change this week, reward a winning team and keep our cards close to our chest so we don’t give the pies an insight into our “finals” squad. Let’s reveal that closer to the end of the H&A and keep managing the game time of some of our battering rams (Graham, Caddy and KMac).
Dusty would be happy that tagger Greenwood is out too, except when he has him 1 out in the goal square of course.
Is Greenwood out, happy about that, not a fan. I was pleased when he smothered a team mates shot at goal in the last minutes of the 2018 GF with his back.
I Dont think Markov will be coming in already 3 senior players to come back ahead of him.
*Ballsack
*Shanaberg
*Greenwood
*Elliott
Maybe Thomas
Will be playing on friday night.
Out Appleby Varcoe Crocker Mayne
Maybe out Cox
The dud that they just signed up for another 5 years
Cost them the flag.
The kick that was meant to go to Stephenson ended up going straight to Yeo. ( They blamed the runner, it was just a really *smile* kick)
And then in the last 3 minutes he had a chance to snap a goal from 25 metres out and he booted it straight out on the full.
Mr Taylor Adams
Nank, Grover and Caddy will return over the next week or 3.
Grover will probably play this week, Nank maybe and Caddy maybe will have another week in the VFL
At this stage Short, Baker, and either Soldo or Chol are those most likely to make way save for injuries or suspensions.
We've got the pace but still need some grunt come September.

Along with the De Goooooooooooooooooey fluke shots at goal, this is what I'm also afraid of. This Yank is nothing but a one-hit wonder and only plays with advantage height.
I just don't want us to fumble or play fancy too much.
Another 2 things that *smile* me about this Scum of a team: (1) dumpire loving free kicks at no cost and (2) that annoying seagull wearing number 38 who keeps practicing his childhood fantasies by jumping all over players. If only Cameron didn't clip on his legs after that piggy-back mark last week, this *smile* would've fallen on and broken his knees.
we should be very afraid of DeGoey. He kicks the fluke goals more consistently than just about anyone.
the absence of Stephenson makes it so much easier though. They are very much a super quick, mercurial 1-2 punch.
our fastest, toughest tall can now sit on DeGoey when he's forward.
and we all know who that is.
(we are actually well placed even when Stephenson is back, because we do have another very fast, tough tall in Broad)
If we restrict DeGoey and Sidebottom, we win
Kmac or Short?
If it was a tumbling ball on the wing, running into a high-pressure contest we dont want to lose (eg exposed backline) - KMac every time
A slicing run out of the contest, a kick into the corridor or across an exposed backline... Short everytime
Keen to see the big content beasts back (Nank, Caddy, KMac) - but would hate to see the run and flair go
I got no answers
And 3 tall forwards.
***Cameron made a massivw mistake not playing Finlayson against us.
He wouldve kicked 2 or 3...
Tony Braxton-Hicks
There are no stupid ideas, just stupid people
Kmac for Short, but it will be more likely Baker even though he has bigger nads and more creativity than Short.
Nank should be given another week.
Nank should be given another week.
So Ive been thinking about the Sidebottom match up. Ellis, KMac and Broad are aerobically the most capable and while Graham is less so he has been given run wih roles before. I think I would go with KMac at first instance, maybe with several of them rotating the job in short sharp bursts. The reason I think KMac is that he is the one who is most capable of genuine physicality and could rough Sidebottom up a bit.
It’s a tough call isn’t it LLH, his such a smart and attacking runner and can hurt with his possessions as well as anyone, one thing is I wouldn’t go head to head, like you say maybe rotate players on him, whoever does it has to sacrifice there own game and put the clamps on. Not sure Pendlebury can be stopped , I’d take the punt and try and go head to head with Dusty
I'm pretty certain Broad will get the gig. He did a good job on Whitfield in the second half of the GWS game. Plus, there is no Stephenson so I reckon the match committee could get a little creative in terms of run-with roles.
