Does wanting to see Sydney win just so Bob cries again make me a bad person?

Yes jatz...yes it does.

I reckon I am still a chance, my cheering on Sat night had to be seen to be believed!

No just being a weavels supporter is enough

Beating the doggies this weekend is going to be like pushing bambi's mum through a meat grinder in front of bambi (public). There will be tears and shock, but we all know the outcome is going to be delicious.

You think he won't cry if the dogs win?

 

[Adz]

McVeigh in doubt.

The tears of pain and fear are that much sweeter to drink.

But they will not be as salty.

McVeigh in doubt.

Didn't we know that 2 weeks ago?

Few in doubt for both sides.... Assume the 22 on Saturday are all fit and then all hell will break loose....

Assuming Jong and Suckling were to return, who would be the likely outs?

Much debate internally here. Some have forecast Roberts to make way (although he was very good on the weekend), but he is probably our 'tallest' defender. Morris and Hamling are slightly smaller types (both very good on the weekend as well). Some discussion about McLean, but he is a good user of the football and creative up forward. Biggs is perhaps another, has had an indifferent finals series, but would be stiff to miss out so late. Hard to forecast.

With our VFL side winning the flag, we're a bit spoilt for choice (obviously excluded those who are out for the year).

Roberts would be pretty unlucky but it makes sense. Who marks up on Tippett when he's forward?

Depends, are you playing a resting ruckman forward at all times, or does the 2nd ruck move to the bench when Tippett is in the middle ?

I'd imagine that either Hamling or Morris play on Buddy in F50, then a Wood/Biggs type (who play taller than their size) takes Richards. If Buddy moves outside F50 we have a strong tackling midfielder play on him then. So whoever is not on Buddy would take Tippett if he is F50.

Perhaps Roughie drops back from his ruck duties when Tippett is in F50 and Boyd moves into the middle. We shift to a more mobile F50 setup, perhaps with Bont and Stringer as the two main targets.

Mills and McVeigh look ready to go. So one of last week's team looks set to miss - as well as Allir.

Swans site has the news - no playing games there.

Will Teddy replace him? Not many other options tall players wise is there?

Mills is the most likely replacement. Leaves us with Grundy, Rampe, Laidler, and Marsh.

We're not the tallest side in F50, more mid sized with one or two exceptions (who will most likely rotate through the middle)
