Unofficial Preview Changes and Discussion - Grand Final Edition v Collingwood

[DirtySandman]

Is Simmo lurking on these forums?

After NN did his knee. I called for him to be on the bench, and he has been.

Not sure what he is doing with the lappy though, playing Fortnite maybe?

 

[Dylan82]

No changes.

Embley to present the cup.


Melbourne currently forecast to be wet and 15 for Saturday...

 

[fomoco04]

I’ve asked our fellow West Australians to get around us for next week.

Doesn’t appear to be going down well at this point.

 

[hungrytiger]

No changes.

it almost got to that 29 degrees today. The heat was the Demons undoing. 15 degrees and wet is a bit cooler than 28.

 

[Cox for PM]

With the loss of Mitchell and Priddis at the end of last season as well as the large number of changes to our list, Questions around Kennedy at the start of the season, losing NN, Ezy, Gaff and Shep I am just so proud of the team.
Unchanged team for the GF.

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 ?

Think it has to be a past premiership player... Maybe Wirrpanda this year? Peter Sumich? Peter Matera?

 

[Cory]

Good luck guys. May the best team win, if we didn’t win last night I would’ve been backing you guys to smash Richmond

 

[DirtySandman]

Bollocks. Ben cousins to present the cup

Ffs, they let James hird present the norm smith.

It’ll be arrogantly delicious

So who was Freos in 2013..?

 

[random260]

Not confident. Worried darling with get owned by Collingwood defender.

Coin flip game which makes me extra nervous plus at the mcg

 

[Fatty rules]

He was much better looking back then. And knew more about football too.

 

[avishka5]

Would be nice to see Cuzzy in prison greens and in handcuffs present the cup to Simmo.

 

[InTheWings]

So who was Freos in 2013..?

Haha. Good question.

Makes me wonder who presented the 1992 cup to us?

 

[Chad in Vegas]

No changes.

The Eagles were the Demons undoing mate. Weather was completely ****ing irrelevant.

 

[InTheWings]

Melbourne weather forecast for Saturday...

 

[Chad in Vegas]

A proper team man like Waters, Priddis or the great Rowan Jones would be a fitting choice to present the cup to this selfless team. Not even joking on the Rowan Jones call.

Waters would be symbolic of the season weve had

 

[Grahame]

I assume Eddie (and other Vic media) will continue to complain to the AFL about the uneven breaks for the two teams this week?

 

[Candiru]

I'm still too nervous to even contemplate the possibility of us winning.

not funny tbh

 

[Forward Press]

Out: Masten, Venables, LeCras, Hutchings
In: Mackenzie, Ah Chee, Oscar Allen, Waterman

 

[Forward Press]

But in all seriousness, as posted by seysearles on the main board...

Not a single pundit out of 17 had us in the top eight. Of course we'd be disappointed if we don't win on Saturday but it has been one hell of a ride that shut up the doubters. HoneyBadger35 echoes my thoughts entirely.

It has been a pleasure to ride with you all this year.

UP THE F***ING COASTERS.

We'd still win tbh

 

[Coaster90]

I'll be honest - I was most nervous about the Qualifying final. Wasn't nervous today, and not nervous next week. Take that as you will.
Question is how do we shut down DeGoey.

Schoey could play on him, but would you play him on Cox, or do we back Tommy to do the job again on Coxy.

 

[Candiru]

I'm already shitting bricks.
