Right now, I have faith the MC will pick the side that will give us the best chance of winning and they will have reasons and data to back the selections (they we simply aren't privy to). Of course after the fact (ie hindsight) it wont stop us from professing to have known better.
A lot of us know better already, we're just keeping it secret...
Weightman got his knee into Weiters back a few times and the hurt showed in the end. GWS went with the knee to him as well. If I was coaching against us in a final the instructions would be very clear, knee to Weiters at ever opportunity. I don't think Weiters did himself any favors when he said that he can bleed easily which is why the corkies seem so painful to him.
I had a feeling last week and now this week that Charlie is playing with an injury that is affecting his athleticism. He's hasn't been getting any seperation from his opponent nor has he been able to get off the ground like he usually does.
I'm surprised he wasn't pushed down back during the second term. The player that we're missing most is Silvagni unfortunately.
Not that long ago Boyd was the whipping boy, now I feel assured when I see him with the ball and even near the ball. Not saying Cowan will do the same but I hope he does. Our mate Marchbank might have other feelings about Boyd though.
Interesting that we finished with both Kemp and Gov at deep forward when Acres kicked the last. Another one of Voss's scenarios similar to Martin on the last line the week before. Salem is another dog who" tested" Acres shoulder while he was lying on the ground in the first quarter.
Charlie did a good imitation of Kouta, setting up a goal then going back and saving the day in the last line of defence with a great mark. What a player.
I haven't washed my right hand since shaking Alex Jesaulenko's hand Round 11, 1989...but that has nothing to do with our winning games...that's just bragging.
