    Re: Always Right Match Committee Thread - 2021 AFL Grand Final vs Melbourne

    I think I prefer Cordy over Gardiner myself. Zaino was pretty good against Port and I trust him more not to crack under the pressure of a GF. And TBH this isn't going to effect our chances imo.
    The curse is dead.

    I expected Gardner to play and Cordy to be dropped, but I’m still puzzled that it’s seen as a dramatic selection shock and so much focus on Gardner being shattered.

    Cordy’s credentials are just as strong, he was a key player in a defence which saw us top 2 while Gardner was injured and unavailable for long stretches, he did a solid job last week when he shouldered a load in the team defence which rendered Dixon a non-factor, he is much more experienced than Gardner. Not saying Gardner should have been picked before him, but it would have been line ball and Cordy omitted would also be a hard luck story.

    Gardner has surprised us all with his improvement but he was also gifted many chances when he wasn’t ready. Of course he’d be desperately disappointed that he’s not playing and I feel for him but this is hardly a sheedy dropping Kickett story.

    Everyone just hanging out for team selection? Gone quiet for a grand final week!

    Can't believe we still have 2 days to get through until the first bounce.

    It’s more agonising than I thought it would be. After the final siren against port I thought this 2 weeks will be awesome knowing we’re playing in the grand final. But it’s just been agonising as i want to win this more than anything.

    Stupid idea to have a week off prior to GF. It's lost all momentum.

    AFL stuffed themselves royally by not just having all finals from week 2 onwards held in WA or SA. The extra week was required for any quarantine requirements which wouldn't have been needed if they'd done that.

    Preach mate - exactly right.

    I get the first week maybe to protect the surface from overload, but if Melbourne think they're winning a normal flag when we have travelled more than any team ever and have been only one of two teams in the eight to play against a home crowd (only team to have done it twice) they are having a laugh (are you having a laugh?).

    I reckon what we've accomplished already trumps anything else possible. Those twats carrying on like they're all conquering will be vomit worthy.

    They played a team that cheated their way into the top 4 on the back of our fail, and a bunch of geriatrics with gastro.

    Unfortunately history wont see it that way.

    And at the time of your post 2 days and 1 hour, 43 minutes.

    We need a countdown clock on the woof home page.

    There's never any mention of the sub until I think 1 hour before game time.

    Those 2 guys are extremely unlucky. Feel for them.
