The thing that the wobbles have over everyone at the moment is a very even contribution from all players.  They don't play a taxing style overly reliant on good players which is the hallmark of a good style and system.

They are about the same chance of playing as if you and me got named for Carlton imho.....my tip is they will rest DeGoey for the finals, if it was a final then he would play. Ginnivan probably needs a week or two out of the headlines and the cameras, he has had more exposure than Britney Spears of late and his football/nous on and off the field has mirrored her IQ.

Bit of theatre those selections if they happen imo,  Pies coach doesnt seem that excited about this week, I wouldnt be surprised if they play a few kids, regroup after losing last round and have their eye on the bigger picture. Winning a final is probably a bigger deal than beating the old enemy and they looked real tired vs the Swans, cant see them having the hunger like we have.

They can still make top 4 if they win but % hurts them, Melb and BL would need to draw..

Last week , both teams played very  demanding games ,both  psychologically and physically and lost.
So reckon it will come down to coaching ,game plan ,  personal availability and manner  in which they execute their roles.
It will be a dure and frenetically  paced  game for  few quarters then the dust  settles, a direction will emerge and history will written, in the end.
 So excited and thrilled about this Pies clash.
Go Blues do us proud.

Without being toooo dramatic about it, given where we've been,  where we hope to go, the consequences of this match and the opposition we are playing........is this our most important game this century????

I reckon beating the bombers and tigers in a final were more important.
The following weeks against interstate sides, less so. Same as the other finals we've lost interstate.

We did play in a prelim against the all conquering 2000 bombers.

otherwise, yes.

Sneaking into the 8 would be of some symbolic value but would we be a credible premiership contender? We hardly have the momentum of the Doggies in 2016. And Essendon is testament to the fact that making the 8 can create a “job done” mentality the following year.

The dogs sort of limped their way to the bye in 2016.  They needed the week off more than anyone and then went bang in the finals.

We are capable of doing it, but havent really shown that sort of form.  We are starting to show signs of being able to play 4 quarters of decent footy which is my only real concern for this season.

If we play finals interstate then we are next to no chance unless something changes as our interstate form is quite poor. If we play in Melbourne we are a great chance against anyone really. Hewett trained yesterday and moved well and will play next week - same goes for Newy.

To me, this week is a big challenge. If we win and make the 8, it all starts again and I believe with healthy mix of some youthful exuberance and free spirited play, we can do some damage irrespective of where the game is played or who the opponent is. Let me tell you, Doc, Crippa and SOS will be on a mission and I pity who gets in their way.
I saw training pics and was heartened to see George up and about. IF he was to come in in week 1 of finals, we would almost have our best side to pick from. As I said, the hurdle is this week, Go Blues.
