Pickett will get the nod

Herald sun seems to be running with that story as well.

We got him mid-season for a reason similar to this, probably not a grand final reason though

Pickett was a noted big game player at south fremantle.

 

[My Cotchin Rules]

of course its possible. its the grand final. neither team are there to be mucking.

richmond have the edge youd think but they’re not that much better in any aspect,, definitely not unbeatable.

One big question of mine that seems to continually get ignored..... who the hell is saying that Richmond are unbeatable???
Most rediculus thing of heard and would love to see the quotes. Seems only non Richmond supporters are saying that (JobeWatson & FRUMPY) crap. Maybe to stir it up if we lose who knows.

If he's better then why not pick him? Seems obvious

Someone I know just bought tickets off off one of the Richmond players allocation for a lazy $1300. Pretty poor of the players to be ripping off there own fans. Not to mention illegal

They all do it.

I had a player, non RFC offer me tickets for $2750 each FFS

 

[Glenhope]

Pleased for Marlion. Hope it's a good story, not a what-were-they-thinking one.

My analysis in a nutshell. If Richmond get there play on, tippy tappy game going then they win.

If GWS can stop the momentum of the tigers when they surge, be it through hatching the ball amd conceding a holding the ball and slowing down the play, or get it out of bounds even if it’s deemed deliberate, then Giants a massive chance. If you can stop the Richmond over the back goals, they don’t neccesarily have a great plan B.

This is what cost Geelong in the 2nd half last week. Quite a few times they allowed Richmond to extract the ball from seemingly impossible situations on the boundary line instead of getting the ball out of play.

Will be an intriguing contest. I’m backing the giants to be that bit smarter for a bit longer than the cats.

Going to be some sort of slaughter on Saturday. Giants have been brave, but they’ve fluked their way thru the last 2 weeks. Could easily be 100+ if rich go hard to the end

You don't fluke finals wins. They beat two top 4 teams in finals at away grounds in consecutive weeks. That's a pretty tremendous feat. Who knows how well they'll follow those efforts up as they were surely taxing, but there was nothing lucky or flukish about those victories.

 

[Blueboys11]

Interesting stat from SEN this morning.

When teams who have the week off vs those who have had to play all 4 finals, the record is currently 6-3 in favour of the team who has played every week of the finals.

 

[FreoRicci]

Keefe out is big. One ruck for GWS really. Big call.

 

[Giant Pete]

Keefe out is big. One ruck for GWS really. Big call.

Finlayson and Tomlinson have shared the backup role and haven’t done too bad of a job so far.

 

[NonPhixion]

Keefe out is big. One ruck for GWS really. Big call.

They have enough talls anyway. Plus Finlayson is allowed to push his opponent in the ruck contests
