I think in the two games we lost to Fremantle & the Bulldogs we have had one too many defensive midfielders and not enough ball winners. Having an extra ball winner, improving the accountability of the players and moving Gibbs forward really helped the functioning of the team. I think Cachia has had a really good year but for team balance he is the one who will miss out in the short term, especially with Curnow playing well. I hope we can make the finals and then we can use Judd as our substitute. That would be a real weapon rather than the juiced up weapon the Bummers have been using.

OK I personally think that it is 'line in the sand' time.

I dare you to step across this line.

Good gear.

We were too defensive. Totally agree re Cachia ...love his improvement but gave so little the other way.

After todays news events and how much focus Hird will have on the case all season, they will be mentally not up to a challenge if they are pushed hard on the field. Mick just needs to find boys who are ready to give their all. This game will be played between the players ears.

Yet perhaps those were his orders.... he played some bloody good offensive games for Norwood last year?

Ironic that we should be playing them now of all times..

Somebody up there is showing some love.

BummerT must be the coach for them this week - Hirdy wouldn't have a lot of spare time right now.

Bummer reckons he hasn't had a lot of spare time lately, having to read up on a 400 page report.

Free kick count is going to be interesting.

I reckon they will give it a crack on the weekend. Might be their grand final. Just to end our season if nothing else.

Agree, expect no quarter from them and be prepared to give none in return! Could be a bit vicious.

We must play our game, regardless. We must absorb their emotional bursts.

This is a final. We must know that because for them it is a final & statement (of their loyalty to bla bla & bla) they will be sacrifice everything.... and they will play, as such. But maybe they won't. Maybe Bomber will take the reigns and instil Pussy Cat attitude?

We shouldn't waste energy trying to get into their heads with sledging - that's a serious waste of energy. All our energy must be focussed on winning every contest... nothing will defeat them more than an opponent that is clinical and persistent in its application and indifferent to their situation. We must go into this game with a focus about how to beat the very best EFC. We must.

You reckon, could work against us, our players are notorious for not showing mental fortitude when required. As I said earlier, we should turn up and well and truly place our foot on their throat with increasing pressure over 4 qtrs. We should win comfortably given the circumstances however I have no confidence of this though purely because of who we are.
