If Giants lose Port may have 2nd spot locked away before their game. Unless Cats can jump them on % - would take a pretty decent win against WCE.

Edit: Or Port get beaten and lose enough % to drop below the Giants/Cats.

You’d think cats would go hard to get second spot I’m guessing they’ll win by 80plus.

Roles will be interesting. Carroll was really damaging and clean at half back last week. Hollands spent time in the back half and it worked for him. Do we explore Saad on a wing? Binns will get a lot of time on the wing. Acres probably goes forward a fair bit. Weitering was really good at CHB with Young at FB, it worked. We just need to keep them wide and slow them down well. We should have really really good midfield rotations. How we navigate the second ruck role will be interesting. I don't mind the bigger mids doing it, gives us more mobility, run and ground level strength in the middle.

May not be a traditional back 7 forward 7 and mids. Will be players playing in both positions more.

Young Weitering Newman Saad Cincotta Cowan and Carroll will be the main defenders. Hollands will go through there.

Kennedy Kemp Owies Motlop E Hollands Durdin will be the main forward. I think McGovern if he plays will play there, if not Moir or Fantasia.

Wings will be Acres Hollands and Binns. Binns will be mainly wing, a little half forward if it works that way. Acres I think goes forward a bit. Hollands goes back a bit. E Holland and Carroll may go through here at times.

On Ball will be Cripps Walsh Hewett and Lord. We will see a fair bit of E Hollands, especially as a plus 1 and a bit of Kennedy. Carroll could get a few minutes as well. Would we pull a left field move and put Saad in here for a few minutes?

Don’t be surprised if StKilda go in unchanged, we use Young or Weitering forward this week.

Hollands at HB
Binns on a wing
Carroll playing wing/hf

Who does hollands replace off HB?

 

[Just Kreuzing]

We need a minor miracle to beat the Saints….
Oh and the Giants to beat the Dogs to keep Freo & Port game alive/relevent to give us a 2nd bite of the cherry!

I think the cats will be going for a big 10 plus goal win. What that means for percentage I am not sure.

So if port win we play finals even if we lose against rabble

Yep, but let's not even go there. Let's make certain of our spot ourselves. What way to do it with some of the newbies on board. Great for their development to be involved.

just realised freo game is after ours

So I agree….no point even considering what freo do…we have to make sure we win

I think the combined margins need to be close to 200 pts across both games for them to jump Port’s % which is very unlikely

That's collingwood to catch carlton isn't it?

 

[Just Kreuzing]

Both….
Also Cats to jump Port, maybe 180 or so depending on actual scores

 

[GT619]

Fantasia.. if he plays they’ve lost the plot.

what other options are there?

Pulled up sore after training

 

[blueboy25]

Port will be going hard to win to get 2 home finals

 

[myblueroan]

I’m told test tomorrow

Well, I hope he's good at spelling and equations cos we need him.

Won’t need to go hard if Dogs beat Giants….. we need Giants to win

 

[swuzzlebubble]

Will St Kilda care about their ladder position re draft/compo picks? If Melbourne lose & GC win, St Kilda could rise two places by beating us.

They'll also move up a bracket. Bottom 6 have an easier draw than middle 6.

We're wanting to cancel footy banter now? Fair dinkum. Feel free to just opt out.

Do you have a St Shitna membership?

Grow up - if you could come up with something clever or original it might reach the level of banter.

Generally it's schoolboy level, unfunny rubbish - deluded rants about wooden spoons against a club who've achieved far more than we have in the last 25 years.

 

[SkyhorseTamer]

Disgusted at one of the comments on that Rabble Preview thread - one of them 'wants to enjoy their players poleaxing some Bloos'


Disgraceful comment!

Its a tackle sport.... I'd love us to poleaxe some aints.... Make them give up early.

Won’t need to go hard if Dogs beat Giants….. we need Giants to win

Ideally Cats smack the Eagles by 100+, that'll have Power switched on for the whole day, rather than have them wait and see what happens with the Giants

 

[Red_man2008]

With tonight’s result and GC beating Richmond saints will drop to pick 5 in the draft. Plus pick 6 with battle compo. Will they prefer 5+6 or going up two spots and giving Fremantle a finals spot while getting 7+8.

Ross does not care.
He would much rather screw us than play for draft picks.
