What about if Hawks utterly embarrass us tonight. Does that change what Perryman is thinking?

Yea and? Drew is a defensive minded mid and always does a job on someone. Newcombe is the perfect matchup for him. You guys are playing so far above your level and riding the confidence on momentum. We are playing so far below our level and will no doubt shit the bed again.

Drew needs to shut down Newcombe, Sweet needs to go even with Meek, we need to control the clearances and someone needs to make Sicily accountable. They are the 4 biggest keys to victory.

There is just absolutely no world where a midfield of Newcombe, Nash, Worpel, Macdonald, Maginness should even be coming close to a midfield of JHF, Butters, Wines, Rozee, Drew. The momentum and confidence these guys are currently on is insane. They are playing so far above their level it's crazy.

Honestly, defenders or forwards, it doesn’t matter. Winning the midfield is the only thing that will give us a chance. Just don’t get embarrassed like last week.

Their “key” defenders consist of Serong (192cm), Sicily (189cm) and Scrimshaw (194cm). None of which are big and strong. If Dixon cannot take one bloody contested mark this week…. With all that said, Bulldogs had 3 monster forwards, all better than any of ours and they couldn’t do shit either.

Burgoyne and Weddle on a wing together…. Yeeeeeeeee I can see how this one is going to go! Exact same as the gameplan of playing through his wing last week via Dempsey, the same will be implemented here.

That’s because moron Hinkley put him on Cameron, their most dangerous and mobile forward. The worst matchup possible. Instead of going with Bergman, which has worked multiple times in the past. What a mastermind. It should have always been Bergs on Cameron, BZT on Neale and Aliir on Henry. Even...

Who on earth would pay a first round pick for the chronically injury prone Cerra.

Sliding doors moment. Drew doesn't fumble that absolutely beautiful first clearance of the game. He kicks it forward and we mark and slot a goal. Crowd goes crazy with a goal within 30 seconds, team lifts and isn't on the backfoot from the very start. The whole game is different and we aren't...

Eh, I don't think anyone ever expected Sweet to rise so fast. He was clearly initially recruited as a backup to Soldo.

Maybe we might actually try and stretch their tiny defence with our talls and exploit something for a change... Who am I kidding, as if we would ever try something like that. We will continue to hack the ball forward sky high to Dixon.

I feel much more confident about beating Sydney next week than beating Hawks this week.

God I hope we beat this idiots, just to stop the constant media love fest.

Let's keep doing it until every last remnant of this team is gone lol

I don’t want to back in our own because our own is shit. I’m happy to bring multiple experienced players from other clubs into this mentally weak team.

Would take him on a wing for sure. We need to bolster our experienced players and he wouldn't cost too much.

He was certainly tested. He came out in the warmup after halftime on the field and could hardly move. We were watching him from our end of the field and it was very obvious. He then had a long chat to the doc and went straight to the bench for the first bounce.

Would be an incredibly massive in if it happens. I feel we can cover Houston, but covering both Houston and Farrell and doing well is not possible.

Is Farrell any chance? Apparently he was doing full pace running at training last week.

Younger yes, better, absolutely not.

You just know McEntee is going to stay in the side to “tag” Sicily

Just give me Perryman for one wing and Cumming for the other please. Doesn’t impact our draft hand at all and raises the level of that midfield drastically. I always thought we weren’t strong in the wings, but Thursday night really highlighted how completely inept we are in that area. Good wings...

I honestly think Burgoyne was worst on ground by a long way, and that is saying a lot because so many were poor.

Cumming is a really good player. Playing very well in this final on the wing. Big and strong and good skills. I would be prioritizing him first over Perryman.

Why don’t we ever play the defensive flood with counter attack offense? The exact thing all teams that embarrass us do. I feel like we would be perfectly suited for that game style with our run and gun mids. I ****ing hate our high press more than anything. I hate that game plan more than I...

Imagine having Cumming, Perryman, Luko and Richards instead of Narkle, Evans, McEntee and Dixon. Then chuck in SPP, Farrell and Houston. Instead of Burgoyne, Mead and Lachie Jones. You can see why we are trying to chase these players, our bottom 5 and depth is beyond a joke.

McEntee out, DBJ forward and Sinn to half back Narkle to play a full game and Evans sub Marshall in for Dixon JHF to not start the game on the bench Don’t play our ridiculously stupid high press, as the small and fast Hawks will slaughter it worse than Geelong Somehow fire the team up to come...

You can’t just go dropping 5 players lol. Our depth is horrendous. With SPP, Houston and Farrell out, we have nothing left. There is literally no one we could bring in to do better. At best you can probably go Dixon to Marshall and McEntee to Sinn. Barely moves the needle anyway.

It's a work day lol. What are you expecting to see in the middle of the day on a Thursday? People taking the day off to walk around rundle mall in port gear?
