Unofficial Preview Changes and Discussion - Grand Final Edition v Collingwood

[Biggie]

Unchanged for mine.

Also for those interested

 

[DirtySandman]

I told myself, Id probably be more anxious about today's game, than the final if we made it.

I wonder how that will play out, over the week.

I’ll enjoy the week - but then it’ll be a nervous, gut churning Friday evening, Saturday morning.

Told myself the same. We’ve already done the pies at the G once. We can do it again.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

No changes, everyone will get up.

No incidents as best I can tell, except the Q2 McGovern vs Viney who took a Clarry-esque dive. Hopefully explained away and no further distractions.

 

[woosha24]

Saw Shuey had ice on the ankle at the end of the game. Is there a risk he wont get up?

 

[squashface]

No changes.

Gov and Shuey will play sore but will get up for it.

 

[Dazzler9]

No changes. A few minor niggles, nothing major.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Also, guys, whatever happens this week, just remember;

This was a team predicted by many to finish bottom four. Certainly the most optimistic of us had us in the 6-10 range.

We've lost Nic Nat, Shep, Kennedy, Gaff, Darling and Barrass at various stages for long stretches, and have continued to deliver.

We've debuted 8 players, including three who will be playing on GF day.

There's no excuse for dishing up an embarrassing or humiliating performance, but in the worst timeline where that hypothetically happens, let's just remember where we are right now. This side, and this season, has been brilliant at all levels. Be proud of the boys, enjoy the week and keep it all in perspective. This season has been everything you could ask for as a supporter.

I love you all.

 

[Altum Volantes]

Unchanged.

Keep on going.

Who do you think will present the cup if we win ?
Woosha would be good, but probably can't do it as a current coach of another club. Judd doesn't seem WC enough. Maybe Peter Matera?
Also, what is the rule with selecting a presenter. Could we nominate Gaff/Naitanui to do it ?

I tried to convince myself of the same thing. I'm pretty sure that I'm lying to myself though. Needless to say, I'll be carefully regulating the amount of alcohol in my cupboard over the next week.

Embley or Glass. Maybe even Priddis.

 

[woosha24]

No changes.

Gov and Shuey will play sore but will get up for it.

We saw what happened to Richmond playing sore players...

Wont feel good until Daddy Simmo turns up on the news on Monday to pat my head and tell me everything is alright.

 

[DirtySandman]

Maybe Peter Matera?

I don't know if its nostalgia, but he is looking three times the Matera I remember.

We should make Walls present it to us. I don't care if he's never had anything to do with the club. The look on his face would be glorious.

On a more serious note, Embley would be a good choice.

 

[Altum Volantes]

Daniel Chick to present?

Seriously though, someone from 06. One of the good guys. Not Juddy.

Wirra, Embley, Cox, Glass, Waters.

 

[JackOutback]

No change; that's your 22 premiership players right there.

 

[KERRPOW]

No changes.

Gov, shuey and rioli may be talked about in the lead up but they will get up.

Im not as nervous as the lead up to 2015. There is a belief and resolve in this group. even in the interviews after the game, the tone in their voice they know there is still work to do.

 

[mad_eagle]

Life comes at you fast...

Can not believe we’re talking about our team selection for the mother flippin’ GF!!

 

[bUCKET__]

Won't be a single campaigner dumb enough to wish Venners / Masten out this week.

[edit: or call to drop one of Dardy Vardy or Scotty 'Up The Coasters' Lycett]

This is the 22 that is going all the way!

 

[SirKarl0s]

No change.

Another perfomance like that and Collingwood have no chance.

I tipped us to finish top 4

Texted it to a mate so I have proof.

Just saying

 

[Here2tellyouwhy]

Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Better
