Preview Grand Final 2024 - Sydney Swans / South Melbourne Bloods vs Brisbane Bears/ Fitzroy Lions - The Big Dance

[The King!]

Does this mean Rampe lifts the cup?

If we win, stealing it would be frowned upon

I feel as if Horse has FINALLY learnt his lesson. This is why I said 3 games ago if you aren't fit by week 1 of finals, see ya next year, unless you are Heeney. Lets not pretend Mills was in AA form this season either.

Yep only guys i'd risk at 90-95% would be Heeney, Chad, Errol and Grundy. Think everyone else would be not the worst drop off to next man up

who deserves the glory of being the one to hoist the cup up than Sir Dane.

So let's do this

Yeah look we all love Mills, but Horse has been burnt GF after GF taking players word on being 'fine'. It was why I said Jmac had to play the first final and he did.

Lachie McKirdy had one of these hats on

 

[Bloods86]

Except they didn't make the call early, they assessed his fitness and he trained "at 110%" without incident. Which begs the question, why wait until the fitness test

They might have wanted to see if everyone else got through.

If say Logan, Campbell and someone else didn't, then he becomes more worthy of a risk.

 

[Kbroome]

Yep and he looks so much better and almost back to his best, that first final was a horror show for him but it was like when they say you need a loss to make you better in the long run.

Mills picked up a chair, threw it at Horse, yelled, "you're not my real dad" and ran out and jumped on a train crying.

You didn't love him much yesterday

Horse yelled back "Yeah I know, this isn't the colts anymore!"

I'm wondering who the matchup for Fox is that would bring him into the starting side? Assuming it's:

McCartin - Daniher
Melican - Hipwood
Cunningham - Cameron
Blakey - Ah Chee
Rampe - Morris

Rayner seems like the potential match-up? Perhaps they may try to play Rampe on him when he's forward, and have Blakey shift to Morris.

…. and thus it came to pass that Thursday’s team selection read:

“no change”

 

[caesar88]

Yep only guys i'd risk at 90-95% would be Heeney, Chad, Errol and Grundy. Think everyone else would be not the worst drop off to next man up

I actually think those guys (Grundy aside) are easier to replace than, say, Rampe, Rowbottom or Blakey.

Rayner for me

I won’t even mind if we go all Bob Murphy in the post-match presentations.

Runs up like out of Happy Gilmore and steals Longmires medal.

"It's my medal!"

 

[The King!]

Maybe Mills can go in the sprint

 

[LukeParkerno1]

You didn't love him much yesterday

Always love Mills, but you were saying he was in some great form, he wasn't. He was in form when he won his AA.

Good call by Horse learnt his lesson.

You wanted him quarantined I meant

Could've been sore once we cooled down.

 

[zyzzbruh]

He clearly wasn't 100% according to whatever they were assessing during his session. Because let's be real, if we was 100% he'd likely be picked over Fox. Goes to show no matter who it is they will always declare themselves 100% fit for a granny even if they know they are not.

Happy to go in without him, we've been better when he hasn't played. His time restarts next year. And wouldn't be a bad thing as a captain on the back of missing a GF win. Hunger will be there.

 

[Kbroome]

I don't think so tbh, Rampe plays smaller and so Fox can replace him and you just play other smaller half backs, Rowbottom is replaced by Adams, Blakey is interesting but he is also like a medium type so could be the same type of replacement as i said above with Rampe. Heeney, Chad and Errol are the game changer top 5 players in the side and you replace them with like Adams, Cleary, Parker on ball. You just loose all the speed in the TO transition which has been crucial to the way the Swans play
