2. Even if we did do fitness tests who gets the info that Walsh has failed by 9am? The guy would almost have to have a direct line to coach

It said Walsh left the track so anyone at the ground would be aware

Couldn’t have had a fitness test today, I was behind him at said time at 7/11 this morning, Elvis was first in line.

That doesn't mean he failed a fitness test

Nervousness levels are starting to rise for me, this is an elimination final, whoever runs out, show us what you got.
Go the Baggers

It's great to still have feelings this late in the season, makes a change, our season is normally over late May early June.
It's great to know I'm not alone, I'm nervous as, "and loving it".

Bit of smoke around Walsh missing

However given he injured his ankle several weeks ago and seemed to run out the game it’s an odd one.

Went to buy a slab of these this morning. 5000 slabs completely sold out. You bastards are a thirsty lot!

Pairs well with a Simmo 300 stubby holder...

I come in peace, I cannot remember the last time I was so excited about a game of football, see I’m an old fart and remember our clashes of yesteryear, for me Collingwood - Carlton is the biggest rivaly in football, nothing comes close, you guys have been MIA for too long, now we get to play for sheep stations again, bring it on, good luck and may the Pies prevail.

But but you want that 'smug smirk wiped from our dials'

Would love to see one of our better runners play as a defensive HFF on Nick Daicos. Cotters could work over anyone in the comp with his stamina, he would be the one I'd go to. Wear him like a glove and disrupt their structure.

Starting to get a fantastic spread age wise ..let's hope future development and drafting can keep topping up from underneath ..

Additions to the 22 that played the Pies in Round 11.

Weiters (went off Q1), Martin, Harry

Sidebottom tore us to absolute shreds last time.

No he didn't.

But we did fail to respect him and he got out the back a few times...

He had it 17 times only....

Trying to think of a matchup for Elliot, and I keep coming back to Gov. Elliot is a FP in stature but basically plays the FF role - great on the lead, amazing mark for his height. I think Gov has the closing speed to stay with him on the lead, while having the leap to trouble him in the air. As we are going in quite tall in the backline I can’t think of a better option.

 

[4flagsin5yrs]

We got this. We're a much stronger team than last time. Blues by 28.

If we bring intensity and don't fluff around with the ball, we'll win comfortably.

41 points.

 

[4flagsin5yrs]

Seems GWS v Freo is the only live game to determine our opponent. Freo win, we'll play Brisbane. Freo lose we'll play Collingwood

No, if Druggies beat the Tiges and we win, we finish 7th.

Likely pay the Pies again if Freo win.

 

[rp84]

I mean, 100k at the g two weeks in a row has to be pretty appealing to the afl.

Surely they give the umps a little wink wink nudge nudge to make sure back to back Pies vs blues games.

Plowman - but his not playing.

So if we’re lucky to make finals we’ll be most likely playing away for at least 2 weeks.Would’ve been nice to at least have 1 game in front of our crowd.

That’s why our players did their best to ensure tomorrow is an elimination final … lol

 

[BlueBayou]

So the Bulldogs game should complete sometime in the 3rd qtr, right?

If they lose, we make finals regardless of other results? Is that correct?

If the above is true my ideal scenario is thus -

Blue V filth, tight tussle, only a few points in it either way when the news breaks the Dogs have been beaten and the Blues have nothing to lose. Buoyed by the news, the Hero's of Princes Park go on a rampage, kicking away from the filth in an 8 goal to nil burst, Charlie seals the Coleman in a devstating 4 goal final quater and we relegate the Pies to playing Richmond with no double chance.

His possessions were extremely high impact. Leading to many goals. Admittedly I haven't watched the replay but being at the game it was very obvious that Sidebottom was finding himself in damaging positions which then led to finding players open usually inside 50.

That's what I said

Tigers win and Dockers & Giants draw we play Dockers in WA.....

Will be over by quarter time.

They lose, we are in, unless we lose by 150+ and Saints win by 150+.
Also if they win by a small margin, we will know what buffer we have against Collingwood too if things somehow go wrong.


Also those thinking Hewett might come in, it's quite the opposite... We named him in the squad, probably a 5-10% chance he got up for the game, but obviously wasn't quite ready. 0% chance he's going to be a late in, or sub, IMO.

I would be pretty confident Newnes is the sub, and pretty confident LOB is the legit emergency, for someone like Saad. I'm feeling like LOB will come in for a defender myself, don't like that we have 8 "defenders" - doubt Williams plays wing, so either Doc would be playing a lot of midfield time... or Williams/Saad will be a late out.
