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

looks like we have learnt our leasons

Mills out so 90% sure we go in unchanged. Don't think that the midfield battle will be needing Adams and think that Fox as sub can help in case of needing to reshuffle during the game

Only thing we may do is switch Fox and Campbell and I hope we do. Fox is needed.

Mills out feel for him but good to make the call early

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

I’m living in Florida atm so my start time is 12:30 am.
I could be paralytic and very emotional before we’ve even coughed up a 4 goal first quarter lead.

Florida man. That explains so much...

 

[DeathlyAccurate]

It would have been very hard on Fox or Campbell if either of them made way for Mills. I actually feel like Campbell will have a very good game and Fox deserves an opportunity to go again after his performance in 2022.

Mills will get another opportunity I’m sure of it.

Yep agree with that will just be a matchup thing if Fox is needed in the backline or not as a medium over the three talls blakey and 2 smalls

The Lions are also too quick to have both Parker and Adams in the side. Feel for Mills and Adams but I’m stoked for Fox as you could see this potentially being his last shot at a flag as well.

To give him a chance, look I'd have made the call on Tuesday but Wednesday is hardly making the call outrageously late

Unless he witnessed it, I don’t know how Ryan would know this:

Surely Fox has another year or two in him with how fit he is. Best runner at the club surely means something

Brisbane have a lot of players to shut down up forward. If we do go Fox starting it brings Adams into the equation

It has been a while Soph_Cross. I thought you dropped off the face of the earth

I did sort of lol I moved to Victoria got married had a baby and grew up

[Dubai Quacker]

Todays omen. Not sure what it means but….

Ah, you've lucked out there.

13 tables away from the toilets.

I think with respect to our club captain, he’s entitled to prove his case even if they ultimately disregard it and make an independent call.

Makes it seem like he was confident he'd be picked no matter how he went. Kinda glad Horse has learnt his lesson.

 

[bloodsbigot]

Whoa.

 

[Dubai Quacker]

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

 

[LukeParkerno1]

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.

 

[The King!]

Presume Mcdonald is fine then

Nice to pop in and congrats on the marriage and the bub

I'm pretty sure he got the green light to play.

 

[bloodsbigot]

Does this mean Rampe lifts the cup?

It's Wednesday and that was the main training session, they easily could wait until tomorrow teams announcement or saturday morning and give him more time.

Not sure what issue there is here

Lock it in Eddie he's fine.
