Will be very tough.

Had we won today, would have been more excited for this game.

Still, if we win our last four...



I'm expecting a fairly long drive back to Brisbane after the game.


GO BLUES!

He (Mr Swann) said the honour and pride associated with the club's traditional navy blue jumper was priceless.

Was quietly confident about today so I am numb
When you're numb, you're more likely to make comments you regret
I'll make it anyway...I won't be surprised if bottom falls out of our team after this game and we win maybe 1 more (and it won't be GWS)
I'm tipping at least 2 games where we wave the white flag early, maybe GWS and Bris

If I want your opinion, I'll give it to you!

1 of the following will happen:

1. We’ll come out like world beaters, belt GWS and leave everyone scratching their heads
2. We’ll come out and get absolutely smoked
3. We do number 1 for the first half and number 2 for the second half
4. We do number 2 for the first half and number 1 for the second half
5. We win by a point
6. We lose by a point

Choose your own adventure, it’s chook lotto with this mob at the moment.

GWS comfortably

They enjoy playing us

#3

Well, mathematically we can still play finals, therefore, we lose.

We're [REDACTED].

Rest Cripps and anyone else who is sore, and give some kids a go.

Set ourselves for the winnable Swans and Crows games.

De Boar vs Cripps.

Not that old chestnut again.

Last time we played GWS, they smashed us in the midfield like Ive never seen before.

Gosh, the GWS are going in hard. Can we take it? Can we give it?

I look forward to this game, to see how much we have learned at the review today of the Pies game.

Like others, I was quietly confident going into yesterday’s game and feel let down beyond measure. On the other hand, I now feel like we’re going to get smashed in this game. A 4 day break, following a demoralising performance, against a team who got their tails up last week and who have given us 100 point beltings the past two times we’ve played them. Maybe the fact I find a win highly unlikely means we’re a chance. Bottom line is we still don’t know what we’re getting game to game and even quarter to quarter so who really knows what will happen.

I’d be bringing back at least a few of Gov (if fit which AR suggested he would be), SPS, Cottrell, Kennedy and Cunners. Time to stop with the two ruck set up. IMO I’d go with TDK and bring in Gov to replace Pitto. Cas to back up in the ruck. I’d be looking to rest a couple of Doc, Simmo, Murph and Eddie. If anyone else is really sore, manage them. If Crippa is injured (I assume so but club hasn’t said anything), then also rest him. Let’s cycle through a few of Dow, Polson, Cottrell, Honey, Philp etc over the next few weeks to see what they’ve got.

i bet if the club came out and said we give up so we're resting players in the hope we'll beat a couple of weaker sides, most supporters would lose their shit...

we need to fight to the end. if we somehow pluck a win v GWS then we're back in the hunt

it's a 17 game season with shorter quarters FFS - they can rest in the off season

x 2
Also would like to see LOB given a chance.

Nup. The cue is in the rack. Time to play the kids. All motivation has now been extinguished.

We're playing 4 games in less than 3 weeks to finish the season. Some player management is inevitable.

They've had a pretty topsy flower weird year but i still really rate this mob. Even in their loss to WCE a couple of weeks ago they showed signs of what they can do.

Can't see us winning this

Must admit, it was better than it was mid last year. I just like the fact we are still talking finals, even if we miss out, rather than the no.1 pick.

Yesterday was our biggest game since 2013 EF/SF'S. Thursday now is even bigger. Win and the Swans and Adelaide are to come. 4 day break is my biggest worry. Just hope we can come up both physically and mentally again after yesterday.

I'm actually looking forward to this game, I want to see how some of the players respond after playing probably their worst game of the year, especially that last qtr, Casboult, Gibbons, Cripps, Murphy & Plowman in particular.

I want to see more of Polson and Dow.

I understand the short break however I want to see a response.
