For all the overanalysis that pundits like to do, I would say most teams could win the flag in any given year - if a team makes finals with a healthy injury list and momentum, they are as good a chance as any to win it.

The first year coach effect is real, our team is capable, we are showing some serious heart and some young players are stepping up. Anything can happen.

Watch how quickly the narrative changes should we beat the saints next week. Play the eagles the following week, get three wins in a row heading into the bye, 3-3 W/L record and momentum coming back against the dees.
if you look at our premiership teams there is a big difference in talent, although if we make the eight i'd be very happy, but realistically we are going to struggle ---I love the way we are playing in patches and showed some great signs when we are on. BUT we also played very bad football too. If our prem team played this team it would be a 60+point loss---there is nothing wrong with that, this is just being realistic.

A big roast. How the hell did Vlaustin only get 8 coaches votes, the same as Taranto and Bolton? Absolute travesty.
He was * awesome!! BOG imo. Saved our arses with intercept marks a number of times.

Still haven’t seen the replay of that free kick to him in the last minute of the game. Sydney supporters were not happy.

filthy I didn’t start him in my SC team
 
No choice but have to play Kozi and Ryan/ Naismith this week you still need someone to bring the ball to ground.

Just play Ryan or Naismith deep forward, Kozi CHF coming up the ground not deep.

No other option really unless we did something radical and try Broad at CHF up the ground.

Ins for me are Naismith Kozi McAullfe Dusty

Lynch Baker Balta and Banks out.
Desperate times calls for desperate measures.
Maybe we wind the clock back with our f50 entries. Long direct to the top of the square ( or in that vicinity) and the mosquito fleet, hitting the ground ball.

Don’t know if it matters that much which tall/s we play forward, I can’t see any of them doing much damage. I think our goals will be kicked by small/ medium forwards and mids
 
Huge gutsy four quarter effort with all our pressure, bloody great win! Our season fittingly seemed resurrected on Easter Sunday, but then the next day we hear the injury news about Balta and Lunch. The cupboard is a little bare with replacement options.

Might have to be Grimes (if not still injured) to the backline, then Miller to the forward line (even though he's doing great in the backline right now), and also Dusty back in. So our forward line will have Miller as the main tall marking target, Mykelti and Dusty as medium sized forwards, and three smalls.

Might even need Sampson in as ruck relief for Nackers, also to interchange in the forward line with Miller, and insurance in case another tall player goes down. Or we could just roll the dice, have no insurance, and play a little small.
If Grimes is still injured, then Miller stays in the backline, Sampson plays main forward target, and second ruck, and we might even have to bring in one of Koschitzke or Naismith as a spare tall, whoever is playing better right now.


Out: Balta, Lunch, Baker
In: Grimes, Sampson, Dusty
plus maybe one more tall (Naismith..?) depending on match ups and if we need insurance and interchange relief.

K mac2 deserves a call up too, but we don't want to go making too many changes every week, need some semblance of stability.

Hilarious they weren't happy about a free that was technically there and lets face it its not like they were denied a free for a shot on goal. flipping peanuts. They literally are clueless when it comes to the rules.

Sure, but at the same time, a team is viewed as plodders until they outperform.
 
Don't see how Grimes gets back in the team, Brown's kicking was a real asset and young and miller are in solid form. Would prefer to play sonsie, ross and dow ahead of graham. I think Martin needs to come in for a key position player so we don't lose the pressure and ground ball presence, since martin doesn't give much defensive pressure. Norwood oval is pretty small and saints defenders aren't overly tall.

In: Martin, Ryan

Out: Lynch, Balta

if baker is suspended then mcauliffe comes in for him
 
All this bagging of Graham yet most of you want a second round draft pick for him if he leaves. Hilarious really. The way most of you speak of him, he’s worth a 4th rounder at most. He’s no star, but he’s better than what’s being portrayed on here by many posters.
