Basically ground ball gets Geelong #1 Port #18, 80% of finals ground ball games

If we had a sensible coach we could just leave DBJ up forward where he's been good all year and drop one of them.

I'm sure his game instruction is " Whatever you think is a good idea at the time."

They'll just work him over rather than tag.

Yeah not keen on DBJ back in defence either. I'd love to think Williams could come in and do a job down back with confidence and knowledge that position is his this finals series. 2023 Dyl no problem, 2024 has been poor. Sinn not sold on either, SANFL form is better than Williams but hasn't proven it in AFL.
You’re not kidding
but seriously I can understand it to a point. I’m a million miles away in Perth but the supporters must be feeling the heat living in the Adelaide fish bowl.
There’s nowhere to hide if we bomb out.
There’s more pressure on the supporters than the players
God I hope not because that makes it a guaranteed loss.
The most important position for the team for the Hornet is CHF.
I wonder if Scott will have a plan for that.
Forget about Williams, he’s as slow as a wet week.
Sinn would be a certain in if he was in any form but he’s not even close to AFL standard.
Easy to say well Jed is not up to standard also but he gets a game.
Thing is how many can you carry into a finals match?
The two outs couldn’t have come as a worse time.
DBJ is the logical replacement only because I can’t find a better option who’s up to the job.

Course he will. Probably the best tactical coach in the game.
That doesn't mean his plan will work though. Pretty hard to quell JHF for a whole game, and he only needs 15 minutes to turn it.
Since when did DBJ become an attacking Half-Back that break lines with speed and delivers the ball accurately 80% of the time?

We have been so good in finals recently it is hard to imagine why right?
I didn't say Williams was our option haha
Fwiw, Sinn for Farrell is as like for like as it gets. Gives Sinn a chance to finally play a role he thrived in before he got drafted. He's done okay on the wing at AFL this year but I think HB is his spot and he's the only one that can have a similar effect to Faz. DBJ would be a square peg in a round hole given Faz's role is to attack and not necessarily defend. Also leaves a huge hole up forward because DBJ has the most goals + assists for us this season and neither Narkle nor McEntee can replace that.
A lot of talk about Sinn or Williams, but seems like the young guy with the best consistent form in the SANFL is Will Lorenz. Pity we didn't give him more of a go. It could be an option to bring him in on the wing, and Jase going down back. therefore, leaving DBJ to continue is good form up forward.
It's just a typical BF finals game rollercoaster. Shaped a little like a Dunning Kruger curve. Currently we're in the valley of despair. We'll be back on a slope of enlightenment tomorrow arvo.
The last time we beat them in the finals Fanta Pants kicked 5.Ken’s coaching record against Geelong in finals is pretty good.
Have faith
We don't win because of a Kenny Inkley coaching masterclass we win because a player/players do something extraordinary.
