High achilles.... About 2 feet high...
Futile late season win incoming.
I still can't see us playing well. Not only have we been decimated by injury but we're in poor form with an incredibly unsettled team. Lots of players coming back from injury.
I'll be amazed if we turn it around this year.

It's also a good thing.
If we can get our **** together in the summer, not lose anyone we don't want to, other than Sloane, and nail the draft and trades...... we will be back amongst it next season.
A lot of variables of course, but the nucleus is there. If we can get Rankine and keep him on the right side of the edge...... 2019 will be much more fun.

I can see us pinching this one with a classic 'backs to the wall' Crows effort, only to lose the remaining games.
That said, I'm not sure we will win, but I won't be shocked if we do.
No mate, this is just the beginning.

Can't underestimate the importance of getting Sloaney back.
It's like we're regaining our soul.

That’s not true (and I’m not a fan at all). His first half of this season was very good (by his standards) he actually played some good footy. I remember someone saying it was because he’s up for contract renewal, and this is what happened in his last contract renewal year. But since then, he’s reverted to type and the only reason he hasn’t been dropped is because we’ve dropped like flies!
That’s been Mackays year for the last 5 years, starts well, fools people, then turns to shit, is carried for games, then dropped, returned and finishes the year in average form.
And it wasn’t the first half, it’s the first quarter.

He’s welcome back if he can harden the **** up when needed.
That’s been one of our biggest problems for a long time.
Guys like Kelly come in and play well; but should be dropped when a superior player returns. He’s been good, so we don’t want to drop him, but we unbalance our team as a result.
Will Sloane finally be played up forward? God I hope so. He is a massive threat up there ... extremely good in the air, great shot at goal, tackles and chases all game. It also deals with his problem with the tag - and allows our less mobile midfielders to do less running to get to ruck contests in the forward half.
Some other interesting stuff could come into play here ... has Pyke finally got some movement and he can make some changes to our structure and game stye? Hope so.
CEY, Greenwood, Mackay, Milera, Sloane, Hampton all have a ? on where they will line up.
First game I can't watch live - I'll be on a beach in North West Tassie "working" - so hopefully when I arrive back on Monday I can breeze through the replay and see what Pyke came up with.
I expect us to get done in the next 3 games ... but it would be typical AFC to win all three and stay mathematically in the finals race until we lose to the Bulldogs or something fickle like that, only to finish 9th and give up Rankine to a big Vic club at the pick before ours :-(

My only concern is our pace once again, though hopefully Hampton helps there. I think we are a little slow with Walker, Fogarty and JJ up forward, would've preferred a quicker small like Murphy in the side (wondering what happened there as he was preferred to Gallucci earlier in the season, then got injured and hasn't been in favour since), given they're lacking taller defenders this week. Our problems have been our lack of spread, and inability to stop the opposition doing it in recent times, so hope we have the right mix, as WC have improved considerably in that regard this year.

Our lack of speed has been magnified by our snail pace ball movement. I feel like i'm banging the drum about this lately, but am I the only one thats noticed that we have zero slingshot football going on now? Last year that made up some crazy percentage of our movements into attack (like well above 50% from memory).
And when that ball is being kicked into space for the player to run onto, thats when our outside speed players look electric. Subsequently most of our outside mids are wildly out of form (Mackay, Atkins, Douglas, Gibson, even Milera since his return hasn't done much). I think we tried to play on in the first quarter against the Hawks to get it back but made about a million errors. Hopefully with some better users back in the side we can continue to push to get that back!

Why do posters still waste time posting about Mackay?
It's fracking some religious law he gets picked no matter what. Move on please you're spamming threads.
