I'd be very comfortable with McInerney in and Stephens coming on as sub.

With the key word being “using our sub” for once

Yep like we used our sub named Dylan Stephens a few weeks ago and he had 9 touches in a quarter.

And then didn’t against Melbourne great plan that was lol
I agree with you though one of Stephens or JMac as sub with one playing a quarter (sub off the least influential tall with a quarter to go)
Jmac is a shoe in to start, and it's not even close

If it rains would it be safe to say that we'd prefer that?
Lately I've been shocked that we play very decent and clean wet weather footy when we've normally been a poor team in rain?
We smashed the crows in the wet for three quarters.
Anyone keeping a close eye on the blues and how they fair in the wet?

I honestly rekn we'll win this in a canter. Blues will win the stoppage can write that down. But what the blues lack is good ball movement and direction going forward, they make it up as they go, backwards, sideways, bombs, bit of this bit of that, hoping for some individual brilliance which does get them over the line sometimes.
But being the no 1 pressure team and excellent at scoring from the turnover with ball movement, we'll eat them up in the turnover game if they give us an inch, which they will. Key is to not let them get a run of cheap goals from curnow clunks and arsey motlop/martin snaps. Saad also has to be stopped as he's the only one they've got that can get the ball moving with intention.
If it rains, even better for us. Also rekn blues approach this like we did the granny. Overly pumped and nervous energy

Either one is fine the other one to sub. Take off the worst tall at 3/4 time
Only jmac is fine, he's x10 the player. Last thing we need is a lost Stephens on the expanses of the G. Stephens has done well coming on with fresh legs in the last.

Really not fussed either way you can make a case for Stephens who actually isn’t coming back from injury. You play guys 85% fit you get burnt we’ve seen this script before look no further than the infamous final. I have no issue starting with JMac but have the runner as the sub not some silly tall or Francis
I should rephrase - if Jmac is 100% fit, he plays. On all accounts he is.

That’s my issue do you trust them there’s fit and then there’s match fit. I don’t see us losing much either way. Both play one as the sub not fussed either way

Everything I read on social media seems to connect to Adelaide supporters hoping the Blues smash us.
Going to be blamed for an AFL error for many years

By any chance did you watch us beat Melbourne at the G last year

absolute fckng bollocks! he had a quieter game, that's all ... one game
That was a Stephens who looked to be building something. He's not even close to that level at the moment
If a match fit Jmac is 10x better than Stephens, an un-match fit Jmac is 9x better.
They would've put in a hard week on the track, so if he got through that with some run in the legs he will be perfectly match fit. He had 3 weeks off not 3 months.
I look forward to Curnow getting 5 "holding" free kicks in the first quarter with footage showing there was nothing more than a cold breeze ruffling his jumper.

Didn’t we hear the same thing when we played Mills in a final among others? I’m very sceptical bringing blokes in that haven’t played in a month
Prefer Ladhams to Amartey at this point, sub Hickey off in the last
Not at all sure that Ladhams has the trust of either coaches or players.
With rain and hail can see amartey being completely uninfluential. I'd prefer to not play him and make sure Clarke keeps his spot.

Agreed but we won’t. Would lock Clarke onto Saad
