Out - Grundy

Come at me dave
Absolutely no chance of Grundy being dropped and nor should he. Thought he was super tonight. Cannot see Jolly coming back in given he couldn't complete a reserves game and was beaten buy Cameron Wood last week. Hardly a ringing endorsement for a call up.

I think we rest grundy and JT this week as the above poster said, it's 2 6 day breaks and interstate travel.
Bring jolly in an see how he goes. Plays well an he stays in, plays badly and it's most likely his last game for the pies. Bring the seed in for JT

dropping those games against port, gcs and freo are really gonna hurt.
oh wells, just means we have to win 3 finals in a row. at least now we keep the momentum without having a week off after the first final if we had made top 4.
If any team is going to win the GF from out side the top 4,this could be the year.
Your mob is looking deadly.You'll get a real gauge on how your traveling after Friday night.
GO PIES!

I've likewise given up on top 4, however under the right circumstances we can take it out from 5th. Gaining the momentum of winning our final 6 games in the lead up to that is paramount though IMO which is what makes this week the most important of the year.

Anyone else notice two 6 day breaks before finals against the reigning premiers and Hawthorn?
Both those teams get 7 day breaks. Then the AFL give us West Coast who were supposed to be top 4 locks and then North who were tipped to be top 6 this year. All by design. Luckily though West Coast and North backfired on Vlad and his slimy cohorts.
Oh yeah, come first finals we get a 6 day break as well.

No change.
The side is working. Don't bring Hudson or Jolly back. Grundy has energy around the field that we need.
I'd love to smack Hawthorn.

I wouldn't have thought so personally. Therefore I'd be holding him over from today's match and letting Witts and Richmond handle the ruck duties. That's why I get the feeling Jolly isn't in the line up, but the club have a more intimate knowledge of the situation so I bow to their judgement.
had a quick chat to him - nothing in it, just usual dave stuff......get ****ed - things like that.
Only change I can foresee is Seedsman in if he has a blinder in the VFL, need his line breaking ability against the Hawks. Grundy stays, smashed it last night and he will do it again against the Hawthorn ruckmen.

If we slip into the top four, the AFL are gonna look pretty ****ing stupid with us playing on the Sunday in round 23.Oh yeah, come first finals we get a 6 day break as well.

Anvil's death stare
With hodge and buddy under a cloud and Sewell out of form we should not be tinkering with our settled 22. Cheers
I'd like to see how Grundy will go against a ruckman like David Hale. Shane Mumford is an absolute workhorse, probably one of the hardest working ruckmen, but he doesn't strike me as the canny, tactical type and therefore Grundy could hold his own because it was effectively one brute against another. Hale has a fair bit of cunning in his game. Knows how to work forward and make himself dangerous. I think that would be an important type of opponent for Grundy to come up against in his 4th game.
And despite it being incredibly frustrating, I think we are seeing the reward of having a conservative injury/rehab policy with players like Beams, Ball, Keeffe and Goldy starting to hit their straps. I would not want us to deviate from that policy for the sake of having an experienced ruckman in Jolly back in the side. For the time being, we have him covered with the form of Grundy, Witts and Hudson before him, and to a lesser extent, Lynch. Let Jolly take his time, get his body right and bring him in when ready.
And finally - if the talk over the week about Swan and Pendles being a little sore has some basis in truth, then maybe we should consider resting them. They have carried a massive burden this year while the rest of the midfield got its act together. I wouldn't be too disheartened if they were given a week off. I know we have a chance for top 4, and I know we shouldn't mess with a good thing, BUT now that we've cemented another finals tilt, giving them a breather could be more beneficial long term.
A maybe change: IN Seedsman OUT Pendles (earned a rest, me thinks, he's been mega)

Taking out our best player against the best team in the comp? No chance.

Hawthorn's midifeld is really struggling compaed to this time last year. Mitchell is playing a lot at half back, Sewell was in and out of the team, and Rioli is struggling to impact the game. This is where we win the game - beat them in the middle, and hopefully Cloke has another big one against their undersized backline. I also think Reid could be improtant here, if Gibson goes to him he needs to cause separation for Cloke to compete one on one.
