Mate, i was at the game right behind it. I could see it all unfolding before it happened.

I'll reiterate, docherty had a good 5m on his opponent leading towards the wing. When the ball arrived there was no 5m.
There are multiple video angles now available of that event now available, we don't have to debate perceptions as the footage is clear.

At best it might conform to Champion Data's version of a contested mark, in that the opponent was within 3 metres.

Doc had as much if not more space than Hollands own mark, and as much if not more space than Acres marking, with opposition zoning that is pretty much as good as you can expect.

You missed Acres putting pressure on Lever causing him to rush and kick to a contest for Weiters to spoil 🙂

Blacres has shown real finesse in multiple attempts area this year. Game after game he gets involved offensively or defensively at multiple points in a chain of play. Freo v Blues sticks in my mind. As do his efforts on the wing, folding back to defend. On the last line with a fingertip goal saving touch no less. What a role model for young Ollie and Binns 👏🏼

I've done it. Said I'd accept any ticket including standing room nut had a thought they'll shove me there first.  My preference is a good ticket and I'll pay for it.  I'll accept standing room but id rather not.

What are you guys doing?

Yep same.

If i have to stand, so be it, but being there was the #1 priority.

Same, but I would stand anyway so no drama. If we somehow manage to get to the big dance and I somehow manage to get a seat ticket, I'd be happy to swap with a standing room spot if need be.

OK blokes, here is the latest mail I have. Hold onto your hats;

Outs : Cunningham, Kemp, Kennedy & Owies.
Ins : Boyd, Hollands, Martin & McKay

A few surprises there. Let's see how that pans out.

I'm a fan of Marchbank, but i picked him to be an omission. Much rather Kemp in the side.

Boyd, has been fit for a month (or more) not sure why we'd pick him now rather than any other week.

Can't understand why we'd drop Kemp (unless injured) and bring in Boyd but we'll see how it 'pans out'.

Thought the strength of our 'settled' backline a major reason for the run of wins, with Kemp's form a highlight. However, I haven't been at these games.  Perhaps Boyd in to stand guard on a key small forward!

Brutal if true.
Maybe the Match Committee believe Weits, Gov and Marchy is enough in terms of talls and need to bring a small with pace in to balance it up a little bit. If thats the case then I totally get it.

Thanks rocky.

Cuningham and Kennedy generally make sense. I thought Owies was doing okay as a small pressure forward. I'm pretty surprised about Kemp.

Clearly Martin and McKay are no brainers. I can only assume, judging by Boyd and Hollands, that we are wanting real run and endurance. Where does all this leave Jack Silvagni ?

I guess we'll know by this time tomorrow.

Hopefully , that's not going to happen, we lose games with silly MC selections like this....

No way on Kemp
Martin for Owies maybe as he can play small
H for Kennedy, although I like Kennedy for his big body

But it's very hard to know what their roles are, maybe they aren't getting the ball but still doing their role?
Glad I'm not on the MC, unusually they have done a fine job of late.
