By the way, I took liberties with the official height for Harry, because there is no way Ben is taller.

Which team is rebuilding again?

So after this we have our bye then cats and tigers and surprise surprise who’s back for those games……

Danger then Lynch.

Danger is a soft tissue injury prone guy now, make him run at full throttle to test those hammys out. Our only risk is they play him forward or he chooses to do his usual kamikaze collisions and knock someone out.

Lynch not sure on the worth of playing him if I'm the Tigers... I'd cotton ball him and I'd see if I could float a trade for him next year to get him off the books for his final year of the contract. A team viewing themselves in contention next year might nibble for half his salary (I think he's owed 1 million next season) with Tigers paying the rest. Could see a Pies, *, or even Dees taking the punt.

Except the SCG. Terrible ground.

I was there the wet night that Josh Bootsma had kicked our only goal at half time.

Fortunately also the royal wedding night that Juddy ran riot to lead us to a win.

And sadly also the two finals that we lost up there.

More sadness than joy up there for sure

Royal wedding game was Judd’s best game for the club imo. The stats don’t reflect just how good he was that night, will never forget it.

Can never forget 1995 our first loss of the season when it was even more of a sh## hole back then and of all things against them when they were a poor side and were celebrating Barassi's 500th game as coach and pulled one out.

We flew up there about 3 times in the 90's, stayed at the cross and had big weekends. Each time they were cellar dwellers (or close) and we were going o.k.

Each time they beat us. Once we were heading out of the ground just before the siren in disgust , got lost and ended up in the swans rooms singing the song with them. Happy days.

The weather looks to be shizen for Sunday.

Takes away our gun forwards, but blunts their run.

Well done with your work on this one. It really diffuses the narrative that * are an up and coming young side. They've only been the younger side in two of their games this season.

And the narrative that they've had the toughest draw so far was completely blown up by that tweet earlier. Glorious to read.

If you want to be the best, you need beat the best.

Anyone, any time, anywhere

Yeah but I'm happy to get lucky facing opposition teams at the right time when they have some key players out, to help us bank wins and make top 4 to help our premiership chances.

Both past their prime, no real threat.

 

[Pinnell]

Who cares? If we're any good we'll beat them both. We should get a few back ourselves.

The days of playing the victim or worrying about the oppositions line ups are gone.

Anyone. Anywhere. Anytime.

What about when we are wearing those orange socks? Kryptonite

Very “brave” against the bottom teams…. They’ll be in for a rude shock starting tomorrow

GWS was in Melbourne too.

They have definitely improved this year but their table position is false.

Crazy that we don't play Hawks, Saints or Eagles until round 21 and they are our last 3 opponents.

They’ll be fighting for draft picks by that stage and playing the kids.

 

[teagueyubeauty]

Would be the ideal scenario, ludicrous we play 6 teams twice before we play those 3 teams. Farcical

Cripps
Walsh
Hewett
Kennedy
Carroll

E Hollands
Cincotta
Fogarty

That’s a lot of guys to roll though the midfield. Expecting reduced game time across the board this week.
