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

[Punts]

None of this training on sat morning shit either like Reid did in 22 before the gf

You seen what a rolled ankle did to amartey

You seen what a low grade hamstring did to Holmes last night

Make the the call Thursday after Wednesdays training session

 

[RampeRobe]

Ladhams would only play if McLean or Grundy withdraw.
And he's a better back up than Brissy have got for Lurch.
He'd go alright.

In the unlikely event McDonald doesn't play you'd think Adams comes in and we go smaller.

the though of Ladhams coming in makes me feel ill..

But agree, if McDonald doesn’t get up, going small with Adams in and Parker playing a similar role to the PF looks the best option to me.

Most of the squad would be carrying a niggle. It's not clear cut.

Match committee will do their best and know they've fd up in the past.

But I think Mills and Logan play

 

[Punts]

Could happen.

Or if both Mills and Fox are fit, play one each forward and back, on Andrews and Rayner.

Him or Francis imo

I can’t see them changing the structure

It’s ironic that Logan missed out to an injured Reid who played. I do agree no passengers in a grand final. Think there’s lots of guys carrying stuff, some more serious than others.

The thing we need to consider with Mills too is even before his injury his form was not brilliant. It wasn't like he was even in our top 10 for influence on the game in the last month or so.

Leon Camerons walking like me atm

That's not correct

He worked into the QF

He's going to add a lot to our defence. Play tall/small and intercept, read the play.

I'd prefer him there against Brisbane

Can we please ban the name Ladhams off this thread

 

[JackHiscoxWasFast]

At least this week, no one will be calling to drop Jmac because of his knee. Can’t believe some people on this board - zero faith !! I’m looking at you JackHiscoxWasFast

He played 2 very good games and was improving !

 

[Dangas]

Out of Neale and Zorko, who does JJ go to?

For mine, I think Zorko. He can damage us more by foot which is crucial and we need to win the control of game, like we did vs Port with Marks.

Of course, let's not forget the contest. We need to turn up from the opening bounce.

JJ goes to Neale and Rowy as well at times , they switch it around .
Parker could do Zorko

 

[JackHiscoxWasFast]

I do agree with this. If he plays that General Mills role it lets Blakey and Florent be less accountable so more attack from them. It’s his lack of pace for those zippy Lions that’s the issue. He played on Darcy Jones v GWS for periods, which wasn’t smart coaching.

Great preview, unfortunate typo

Going crazy here, what was the typo?

 

[Jewelsbon]

Can we please ban the name Ladhams off this thread

Why? Hasn't he been an emergency throughout the finals?
I understand that none of us actually want to see him out there, but he IS a part of the team so therefore there's no reason to ban his name

 

[Bonz]

Think Parker may go to Andrews and take him away from the contest.

Similar to what we did with Aliir.

Glad you asked, I couldn't pick it

 

[Dubai Quacker]

Is that background music lyric “I wanna let you down again?”

If so …. FFS!

 

[Dubai Quacker]

Glad you asked, I couldn't pick it

Error Gulden ….. could stick if he has a shocker.

 

[Cadsky]

In '22 the father of a senior player told me it felt special like '12 in the week leading up to the GF and we all know how that played out. I'm avoiding him this week haha

I have a left field suspicion here.

JJ goes to Starcevich or Wilmot. Likely Starcevich.

Stopping their bounce off HB is key.

Maybe tell that person to do a preview mate

Far too tall
