If they've got Cameron, Himmelberg and Finlayson up forward, one of Levi or McGovern will have to play back....which leaves us pretty light on for marking power up forward.
Prefer Levi back, proved it last year. Gov not a defenders a-hole.
2017-16th
2018-Wooden Spoon
2019-16th
2020-dare to dream? 11th is better than last I suppose
2021-Pi$$ or get off the pot
2022- Real Deal or more of the same? 0.6%
2023- "Raise the Standard" - M. Voss Another year wasted Bar Set
2024-Back to the drawing boardNo excuses, its time

Be more worried who is playing on Greene........probably have to accept if they get it down there often enough we are going to lose so need to
control the midfield which wont be easy.
I think Casboult will play forward and take a turn vs Mummy and Finlayson who rucks for GWS as their second stringer...the Gov might get Himmelberg who is a handy player but yet to have a real breakout game.
GWS also have Riccardi who is playing well and will need a tall opponent, dont know why Kennedy, Cuningham are not playing and we need TDK in the team IMO.
Means Williamson will probably get a much taller player and Docherty would have to take Greene.
I think we will struggle with the team selected.

Casboult needs a big game.
He can probably consider himself a little lucky
I agree with iaj... he seems to go better when he gets a turn in the ruck so we'll see.

Like that Paddy Dow gets a another chance to show his wares, need to keep playing him. Polson obviously did his job last week.
Saw a training video on social media, Cripps had no strapping anywhere, Jack S was running laps.
Big game boys and girls.

Casboult and Pittonet to double team the big mummy. Could be a good move.

I said we were too tall and were better off dropping a ruck (or key forward).....not quite sure i would've chosen TDK, but anybody out would probably be equally hard done by.

This is our last chance of making a run at finals. We need to win this.....extra percentage would be handy if possible.

Maybe, but if we win the centre clearances and the lion's share of stoppages....

The midfield contest decides what, 90% of outcomes? (or #22 umpire at times)

I would have played Kennedy and Cuners.

Polson might have a turn on Greene!

Mummy won't be able to man handle Pitto, and the Frenchman is just as capable around the ground....
Finals, then 4 in a row!

No expectation, we'll win.

Last chance buddy, make it count.

Agree... I think TDK can consider himself unlucky and Brackets can consider himself lucky that he comes straight in to replace a kid with promise - you'd better deliver McGovern.
Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17

Sadly true, many would say that that's how we roll.

Important emergencies. Good backups.
Emergencies: Matthew Kennedy, David Cuningham, Harrison Macreadie, Tom De Koning.

Will be interesting to see Willo play as the third tall defender.  
DrE is no more... you ok with that harmonica man?

If Polson plays on Greene then we have given it away and are tanking...😉

Should have had his last chance 3 years ago.

Beat me to it EB

Our coaching team will lose all credibility it this happens. Surely not.
