Can people stop calling him Mullins

Doing my head in.

People constantly calling Stengle “Stengles” is worse.

 

[you pick one]

So you think SDK has to come in?

A must for me this game.

More notable players in for the Cats that wasn't our strongest side

5:15 pm twilight is an odd time, thought they were usually 4:35 pm?

4.35 is the H+A slot because it leads directly into the 7.30pm FTA gmae

Ch7 always want the games to start as late as possible in finals to maximise $$$, and 5.15 is about as late as Brisbane can play and still fly home that night. If we were playing a VIC team the game would be at 7.30.

 

[year of the cat]

Stewart in for Bews. I’d retain Mullin to play on Ashcroft or Neale. Think Cameron has too much toe for Bews. Blicavs to stand Daniher. Henry on Hipwood.

I get the concept and that Bris are given the option to fly back that night. Just never seen a 5:15pm final before.

Brisbane v Carlton played 5.15 last year in the prelims.

 

[BIGANT]

Make Andrews accountable, was it just me or did Cameron have a quiet game ? Neale might play sore with that foot injury.
Take the game away from them early. They just reek of arrogance, knock it out of them

Oh I didn't watch that one.

 

[catters05]

I hope we are on all game, that sort of win will add a lot of confidence for the Lions.

Montagna said the winner out of last nights game should go on and win the flag.

No chance we’ll be favourites in the media

That is just so disrespectful though.

Not just to us but even more so to Sydney. Like seriously he is saying “hey Sydney, you know that team you have beat 3 times already this year and that other team that barely snuck by you on their home deck, yeah. Well if you play them again they are favorites against you because reasons.”

Insane take.

 

[iameviljez]

I don't think Tuohy has played VFL since he joined the club - suggesting he'll be dropped is pretty fanciful stuff.

 

[iameviljez]

Now we are here we just must win the flag as we will never get a more straightforward path to one in the next 10 years

Sydney are still a bloody impressive side, but the inherent Victorian bias of the MCG Grand Final is a big, big factor.

IN: Stewart, SDK
OUT: Bews, Mullin

Brisbane’s backline looked very vulnerable last night and we can match them in the middle. Neale seemed to aggravate a foot injury in the final minutes last night. McCluggage is the danger man, if we are asking Atkins to play an accountable role I’d send him to McC.

Need at least a couple of A grade performances from our gun smalls - Stengle, Miers, Close, Mannagh and Dempsey.

Like the idea of having Blitz and SDK both available to take Daniher, and comfortable with Zuthrie on Charlie.

 

[Hamingja]

I don't think Tuohy has played VFL since he joined the club - suggesting he'll be dropped is pretty fanciful stuff.

There is going to be one player that is super stiff to miss out.

For me that comes down to SDK or Tuohy.

We had issues with small forwards during the regular season and CS has recalled Bews from Coventry to play that role. Given we face Cameron and then could face either Papley/Rioli who both tore us a new one in the regular season when Bews wasn't playing, I'm expecting Bews to stay in.

Brisbane with their two ruckman sized key forwards and Sydney playing 3 key forwards would both help the selection case for SDK.

Humphries has come in and performed better than Tuohy.

Hawkins is the 24 version of Mooney, it's harder for CS to be ruthless with players that he has a long relationship with but Tuohy could well be the 24 version of Milburn.

 

[Max Rooke]

Given Brisbane are an older, more finals-experienced team with bigger bodies, slower than GWS, I think that’ll mean we back in our experienced guys Duncan, Bews, Touhy as sub. Blics to Daniher, Stanley on McKinerney, Bews on Cameron. Henry to Hipwood. Atkins to mind Neale.
No room for Mullin or SDK.
Stewart for Mullin the only change.

[Catman]

I feel like there’s a bit too much optimism around us

Im trying to remain humble.

Bris accomplished something serious last night and they could very well do it again

Will it go 3-0 in our favour in PFs against Brisbane?

We're a game away from our 20th Grand Final, after demolishing the 2nd ranked side by 14 goals on their home deck.

We may not win, but we're entitled to be confident about our chances, especially in a 2-horse race after a week off with a healthy list.

mannagh is a huge in there as is not having to carry parfitt.

 

[Mattlock]

I think we win.

And go all the way.

Happy to be wrong, that's life.
