Game Day 2022 QF: Demons v Swans - 2 Sep 2022 - 7:50pm - MCG

Cunningham is surely the sub

Yeah I agree, just pointing out if he isn't, then Campbell is another finals debutant (technically whether he plays or not).

To be honest I don't think Cunningham would be a good sub in terms of being an impact player. Even if he has run 10km less he is not going to dominate a game.

Your 1 post late

Sorry dad

Update on weather, sun is shining

The weather is sweet

 

[caesar88]

For all the talk of Swans/Dees fans going to this game, there is surely gonna be thousands of neutrals there too? I know a stack of non-Swans and Dees fans going, and I am one individual from Perth who doesn't know that many people.

Should be a mammoth crowd, just hope the weather doesn't stuff it up

 

[Dangas]

Can't wait for this game tonight. Sun is out this arvo. Good to see the red and white start to slowly roll in. I reckon 85-90k is achievable tonight, if the rain stays away.

no so much impact but covers every position bar ruck. Perfect sub

Footy fans are sadists when you think about it. We voluntarily emotionally invest ourselves in a competition where we have a 94.4% chance of our season ending in bitter disappointment. And for what? I've aged about 10 years in the last 8 weeks.

I love Cunners, but not sure I want him one out in the goal-square on May, and even less so on Ben Brown.

But yeah, can go to any area, we just shuffle others around. Fox, Heeney can play tall etc. Can say the same for Campbell tbh, but less experience and less accomplished, so I'd be surprised if he got picked.

Look I know how you arrived at that probability - but I feel like you can factor in North, Essendon and Gold Coast as outside the dataset.

Better than being an Essendon fan, who have a 100% chance of their season ending in bitter disappointment, coupled with a clinical dose of self-loathing.

Haha..very true!
On the bright side we only have an 83.3% chance of the year ending in disappointment now.

I agree that he's not blowing me away by any means, and I don't feel like I'm watching a future star yet like I was with Blakey/Rowbottom/McInerney/Warner/Guden. But ineffective is a little harsh. His coverage of the ground to push back deep in defence and always present as an option has played a part in getting our run and carry going, which was non-existent in the first half of the year. I'd say that's just doing a role quite well without starring.

I also thought he was most definitely not in our bottom four against Adelaide and St Kilda, and was in fact in our top half a dozen in both of those games.

Stephens has improved out of sight. Just seems to have relaxed a bit and now plays his natural game. His evasive skills are much better, getting caught with the ball far less often.

Given how stuffed we would be if Hickey went down, I actually wouldn't be against Sinclair being sub.

 

[bedford]

Off we go

The strangely durable Ben Reid could plug the role.

Campbell for mine.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Can’t go Campbell want him playing in the VFL

 

[Bloods86]

I'd rather ruck Reid with Fox as backup, than have a small go down and us have to fit Sincs into a forward line with Buddy, Reid and Logan.

VFL is 2 days away, anyone who is sub can still play that game.

[Bloods86]

It would explain why we have both Sincs and McLean as emergencies. McLean thanks. Would still have preferred Amartey.

If we are left with Reid vs Gawn and Jackson, then we may as well start planning for Brisbane.

 

[RUNVS]

This would not be great news.
