WA teams don't know how to kick goals at the windy MCG.

If we can get thru the web for a few easy goals they may start to panic. I don't care how messy and out of control it looks getting thru the web as long as it end up with a loose hawk running into an open goal (like when teams broke down the clarko cluster).
I haven't seen much about the wind being mentioned. If WCE grab a few marks like the dockers did in '13 but missed their opportunities, doubt and the swirly wind factor at the MCG Will start to play on their minds.
Why did Melbourne have to put on a hot day! I don't want to get overrun in the last quarter.
Did anyone watch the game 3 weeks ago. The wce midfield never considered loosing a centre square contest, they were on the move for a Nic Nat tap!

Pointless having Hale in the side to come in late in the game. If we are leading then he would slow down the team and if losing, its likely because we are not getting enough of the ball around the ground. Hale can't help either way.

Ye, we would never have believed if we had been told this then. What a difference 12 months makes. 12 months ago W/C were a no problem team relishing in the lower half of the ladder and 12 months later are in the final against the mighty Hawks.
The sub ? Maybe we went back to basics and said what if someone gets injured. Thats was the reason for the sub
It looks too tall but then the Hawthorn talls are about the most mobile talls in the AFL. Schoe is mobile enough, Gunston is as mobile as anyone, Rough plays better as a mid half the time. I am not concerned about that.
Hill for sub is a an interesting thought
Billy unlucky but probably the right decision given our opponent and match ups.
Schoey and Gunner forward means the undersized WC players must be accountable. However that only works if we hit targets.
Roughie to play through the midfield for periods to give another big body.
We must tag Shuey this time as he cut as up in the QF. Close attention for Gaff would also be good.
Happy that Schoey gets an opportunity to play in the big dance. Would love to see him impact the game and of course get a premiership medal.
I hope that if Gunston can play his usual role and kick 3-4.
Big jobs for Hale, Big Boy, Shiels, Hodge, Lewis and Mitchell in getting hands on the centre clearances or limiting the damage that WC does from the middle. Do that and use the ball effectively and we should win.
Can't bloody wait!

Exactly, I don't think a lot of people understand the basic logic behind the sub. In my eyes the selection basically guarantees Poppy as the sub.

If people are honestly concerned that NicNat is the greatest threat to the Hawks, we're sitting pretty comfortable IMHO based on current form. Kennedy and the midfield running rampant much more worrying for mine. Especially if they get away with murder inside like they have all season.
Puopolo will cork him with a well timed flying headbutt
Has to be Suckling.
Personally i think the side is a little tall and perhaps a tad slow with Hartung out, but i trust them.

Dear twits suggesting Poppy for sub, he will need to be moved onto the interchange line for that to happen.
Those who suggest him for the sub strike me as the stats based footy observer.

It's a grand final, they are going to try their hardest to win regardless of newspaper articles.

I think we're going to need to come out of the blocks on this one. They don't have homeground advantage and a bit of scoreboard pressure and vocal oppo crowd may be enough to take the wind out of them early and make them go into their shells.
If we can force them into a defensive mindset, we can hammer them on the scoreboard for the first 1-2 quarters before Simmo will have a chance to rally them.
At that point, they have to play catch up and take risks, which will hopefully fall into our hands a little if we can stack the backline with intercept markers.
But we'll have to see. I don't think the Hawks will be overawed by the occasion, and they are experienced enough to deal with being down a few goals in the GF, whereas I think the Eagles will crumble quickly if they have to start chasing on the big stage, much like Sydney last year.

Work made me apply for a job I'd been doing for 18 months due to a restructure. I wanted to tell them to jam it but I thought of Schoey. It might sound naff, however it was useful inspiration!
Posted this on the main board but the weather at last years GF

Min 8.8
Max 23.4
We only won that game by 10 goals
We are also the number 1 club for final quarters
Has this been lost in the analysis?
