Re: Always Right Match Committee - Finals Week 3
You know what? Bring it on.
No Bruce, no Weightman, no Keath, injured Caleb/Bont/others?, travelling to the moon and back, not being fed ... screw it all. This is when we're at our BEST.
If we lose, we lose. We attack 2022 knowing we need to be relentless for the entire year, not cough it all up in the final 3 weeks. I can live with that given the spirit we've shown these last few weeks.
But let's face it - the pressure is ABSOLUTELY on Port right now. Home team, no injuries, dream run, playing a team who look like they're on the ropes. I hope it feeds into their psyche and I hope they become Dixon-centric to the point they ignore other possible options.
I love Martin's in - he just won't get man handled and dominated at centre clearances like Young did.
I know it's a prelim but I feel like the pressure is completely off us. We aren't expected to win. Hell, we have no right winning it ... and that's exactly what excites me.
Let's play!

But Dunkley's helping out in the ruck! He can't be everywhere!

When we win it will be our greatest non GF win ever. Perhaps one of the greatest ever seen by any team.

Despite some significant outs I remain very confident we will win this. Get around the team people.

Re: Always Right Match Committee - Finals Week 3
Meh. I handle losing better when there’s no expectations. So I’ll go into this a lot calmer than normally would for a prelim. Nothing to lose. Let’s just throw it all at them and see what happens.

Re: Always Right Match Committee - Finals Week 3
I honestly can't see us winning. I believe we have a team that is capable of winning, but I think the win last week will be energy sapping - very physical. I think too that losing Keath just opens us up defensively in a way we haven't been before. Cody missing takes a bit more energy from the team. Bont wont be 100% fit. These are little things, but they will have a bit influence in a cut throat final at the pointy end!
If I had a left field suggestion it would be to play Cordy forward and move Schache back to play the Keath role. Cordy sits on Alir Alir and makes him accountable. Schache gets to float around chopping out attacks. Not ideal, but its where we are.
