We’ve played 3 of the top 4 teams so far, with GC having only lost in Perth, and the Pies looking to be top 6 by end of round.

We can win this.

yep, they are matchup nightmare for us, especially on etihad.

we'd need as much leg speed as we have.

mullet or oshea really shouldn't play for us again until we're being totally bummed by injuries. cunningham should replace one, and is there anyone else in the magoos who has a burst?

is pickett due back anytime soon?


The key to playing Etihad is minimising turnovers more so than pace. Disposal efficiency will be crucial. If we cough up possession and butcher the ball we’ll get torched.

So you’re saying we’re rooted then.

Anyone.

The Puppies played last night, in Perth so they'll have a day less than us to prepare. They played a team of 23y 4mnths.

If we can't WIN this fu__g game, I give up.


Is that the mean or median age?


It's the mean, the median would be useless in this context.

If we cough up possession and butcher the ball? Hopefully The Scraggers will be worse than us.

Western Bulldogs defence doesn't impress. Get it in long and quickly to Cas, Mckay and Charlie and have the little blokes at their feet, good old fashioned footy that just might work. The less possessions we have going forward the less chance of turning it over too, a man (and team) has to know his limitations.

I'm actually going to this game expecting us to win. I should know better, but a man has to have hope.

Levi, by coincidence, plays his 100th game against the same team as he played his first and at the same venue. We won that game.

Some good signs. Second half of the year we might have some continuity.

I wonder which Carlton player punched him in the chin. Or maybe he got too close to the fence and a supporter did it for all of us. :razz:

Our last winnable game for a while.

They’re rubbish at the moment, have some niggles, and we’ve got quality players potentially coming back.

It’s now or never.

Depends which Bulldogs show up, and which Carlton shows up (hopefully today's one).


Really covering your bases there...

We could win, or lose, depending on whether bulldogs play well or not, and whether Carlton play well or not.

I guess you’ve ruled out the draw!

SOJ perhaps a bit unlucky, but makes way for team balance. Garlett, Mullett & Lamb are on thin ice.

B: Simmo Jones Plowman
HB: Thomas Rowe Cunningham
C: Kerridge Cripps LOB
HF: SPS C Curnow Garlett
F: Wright Casboult Harry

R: Kreuzer E Curnow Fisher

Inter: Dow, Lamb, Mullett, Phillips


Kreuzer, Phillips, Casboult, and McKay in the same team... I didn’t know we were tanking again?

They're in the top 4 BECAUSE they played us.

Well one of them.... the other losses are nothing big even though they felt and were worse.

O shea must go. Even though we are on the bottom we must have discipline and a dropped chest mark in the forward 50 is unforgivable
