being fit to play this week but aren’t “finals ready”. As such they will play in VFL this weekend

Wonder what Voss’s thinking is?

 

[Opium]

George has been in cracking form...... He will more than hold his own V Neale.

Odds on it will be Dunkley to Crippa.......... Good luck with that. He is unstoppable this year
and no rib issues.

Walshy's best game for a long-time last week too, it is coming. Just needs to tidy up his execution.

This game is made for Walsh. Freshened up after a week off. Played in Darwin when he was younger so will be used to the humid dewy conditions.

 

[Aphrodite]

Just wondering about an 'Around the Grounds - Finals' thread. Will we be starting one?

I would have put it up on Thursday but Chief beat me to it




Thanks Chief

Wonder what Voss’s thinking is?

Difference is the luxury of having a VFL match - wonder if we could organise a scratch game vs another AFL finalist without a VFL team playing?

Neither Bulldogs or Hawks have VFL this week but I'm not sure if we can because the guys who'd benefit probably go to Brisbane as emergencies

I wish Carlton reserves were playing this week?

They were pretty decent vs Saints 2 weeks ago……

I reckon he thinks “gee I wish I had the luxury of a double chance like Scotty does”

 

[Soapy V]

Voss on 360

ALL the boys have got through session today which was match simulation

McGovern Charlie Harry Williams will likely play as haven’t missed much

Others will need more thinking before we make a decison.

Last 2 weeks were very good. Issue all year has been consistency

Selection will be balance of last 2 weeks plus tried and true performers

No answer on Docherty yet. First question is for medical and high performance. Hinted decision tomorrow

There will be risk in our selections and how many changes is too many


They showed a stat of us losing 6 of past 8 games

 

[BlueLocke]

Should run the game out well; our heavy block of training in June/July is about to pay off.

 

[BlueLocke]

Hope we still play Kemp forward, even if the big 2 play.

 

[myblueroan]

Would Doc be sub do you think?

Why would you play a match sim 5 days out from a finals game interstate in 28 degree heat?? Mind blowing.

 

[Soapy V]

Would Doc be sub do you think?

After listening to Voss I would say no. He virtually confirmed that McKay Charlie McGovern Williams will play. If TDK is fit I assume he plays. He then said he doesn’t want to make too many changes and was very happy with last 2 weeks?

 

[gbatman]

If he's fit and healthy. TDK if fit is a Star and is a game changer.

We can get excited by names but history tells me you don't play unfit players in finals. Rarely works

It's a shame Mirkov isn't AFL ready. Breaking even with McInerney is really important but if you were able to beat him, he's one of the game's dominant rucks. Reckon it would nullify their midfield, which as we know can be really dangerous.

 

[Soapy V]

Work on a few things. Bring players back in, combinations and see who can handle it. Given where we are with a number of players I understand it

It seems the be the real in thing in footy at the moment. I think it has a lot to do with runners being taken off the field.

 

[teagueyubeauty]

Lots of injuries post, didn’t actually happen, win a premiership and it was the secret to the success….lots of people have said it did and didn’t happen.

[Arr0w]

While a couple of younger players did reasonably well the last 2 weeks, it was against bottom 6 clubs

Voss (every coach), knows that an 90% fit best 22, is still better than a depth and or developing type

Think we will make 5 changes minimum

 

[Bundy Bear Bogan]

Skinny Lappin…. bugger!!
Had my money on Bruce Doull….

I was thinking SOS

 

[sosos]

Ins: Anyone who can hold a tackle, not honey bee the ball, and who lowers their eyes, kicking inside 50.
Outs: Anyone who can't run out a game, can't raise their arms above their shoulders, or can't be bothered putting on pressure.

 

[Benaly28]

Plenty of pressure on us, we sacked a coach, missed finals, won two finals by a kick and we are right in the premiership window. Like the Lions we have a huge amount to lose.

We lost our chance when we botched top 4 IMO.

Brisbane
Sydney
Adelaide oval (most likely)

If we win it after travelling 3 times would go down in history.
