18-15 our way since 2004. Which I imagine is by far our worst record against any opponent over that time.
Sounds like elliot is in but howe out (didnt train today).
Cameron in but mcstay vfl.
Where abouts did you see that? McRaes comments today pretty much ruled Elliot out
It's on AFL site
Yeah, they're always competitive against us.18-15 our way since 2004. Which I imagine is by far our worst record against any opponent over that time.
I agree knevitt should return but not as sub. That should be a forward so I'd go Henry or Rohan. Then sub the other at halftime unless they are onI do think it will be Knevitt for Clark, but I think unfortunately for Mitch he'll be the sub. With Ollie coming into the starting 22.
Though I do think our team is alittle over stacked with forwards.
Neale, Cameron, Stengle, Close, Miers, Mannagh, Rohan, Henry, all with pedigree as forwards. Throw in Dempsey for good measure, and our team is stacked with guys who know how to snag a goal. The question is more how adept they are at playing through the middle of ground too.
Yeah, they're always competitive against us.
Good news is we have been very successful against them in lots of finals:
- 2007 prelim
- 2009 prelim
- 2011 Grand Final
- 2020 Semi
- 2022 QF
They have beaten us in the 2010 prelim and 2019 QF. This is all off the top of my head; there could be others, but I think that's it.
Any chance Hardie gets a run?
Its more than a 1% drop off for the Pies. Especially with the timing of some of their injuries.They have dropped off 1% this year.. and that’s all that it takes to go from a side winning by 1-2 goals to losing
He's not doing his chances any harm by playing the way he did on the weekend. His time will come.Any chance Hardie gets a run?
5-2 in finals18-15 our way since 2004. Which I imagine is by far our worst record against any opponent over that time.
Any chance Hardie gets a run?
I've given us 12 points allowing for an early scareI've put us by 5 goals into my tipping comp.
You can rest Rohan the first half but then when you sub out a mid what do you do?Interesting to see what we do with O.Henry this week. Clearly you can’t either drop or make sub, Rohan. Yet I’m not sure both can play together? Maybe they can.
The club will be reluctant to back Henry up as sub 2 weeks in a row too I would think. Touhy and Duncan are candidates to sub for management reasons but both have played well the past fortnight.
Fly would never do that.What irritates me is the Pies can use the injury excuse to explain their performance this season this year![]()
Yeah Scott was the same, half our injuries didn't even get listed. They just don't play at any level and didn't get listed for weeks. Was very annoying.Fly would never do that.
But good luck on Friday night.
May the best team win.
Maybe, but there's also a silver lining that there's only one likely finalist that we'll face in the run from here.The move to Tom Stewart on ball should have been made a lot sooner, we could of won a few more games.
So true.Maybe, but there's also a silver lining that there's only one likely finalist that we'll face in the run from here.
Most finalists won't have seen their structure up against this new system and with their own battles to fight from here they'd be unlikely to have sunk enough time into their analysis to do anything but back their structure.
