    I wonder which team can cope with the heat the most? Does the extra time off help them, or hinder them in this respect? I’d say a runner is important as sub especially seeing the temperature.

    Questions.

    1) Which players do you have 100% blind faith that will turn up and deliver GF day?

    2) Which players make you feel nervous and you are worried will either go missing or have a bad day. Who don’t you trust to deliver?

    Bont, Jacko, Daniel, Duryea, Hunter, Keath.

    Next are Williams and Dale in that order.

    The rest are mixed lollies.

    Looking at the Port game, it was a real team effort. Stats show that Macrae had huge numbers but 9 players had 19 to 24 disposals.

    I am happy we will win this as a team with everyone doing their job

    I am expecting TOTAL FOOTBALL. Every player, every contest, every ounce of commitment and support to mates. Keep the pedal to the metal Dogs.

    Footy can be a bit of a maze for people like me, so excuse me if this is either obvious or way off, but I’m assuming the way we entered F50 in the prelim was by design, and would likely be our focus again tomorrow.

    Seemed we moved the ball until we were within 60 from goal to ensure a deep entry, which challenged Jonas & Aliir (and would challenge Lever & May) Early in the game, multiple handball chains involving one or more of Bont, Hunter & Treloar resulted in kicks into or near the goal square which ended in goals.

    King on 360 last night (who is confident the Dees win) pointed out the extra we bring to the stoppage, so if they win clearance, we can get exposed 1-1…but should we win said contest, we’ll have more options up the ground. The challenge then is to either hit a lead or keep moving it short until we can strike from 60 out.

    If we can regularly get our hands on it, we have the game to take it out.

    Hardwick was on The Front Bar last night and genuinely has no idea that we played the Demons twice this year. Was just talking about how we didn't cope with their defensive pressure earlier in the year so the Dees will feel they have the wood over us, it'll be interesting to see how we combat it, blah blah blah.

    I know the season was over for you by the time we beat them in Round 19 Damien, but I think you could do better.

    He did the same on 360 earlier this week, do coaches just switch off if they don’t have to play that side again that season?

    I thought the Saturday night game was incredibly good to watch for a wet night. 1 v 2 at the time, how does he not watch / remember?

    I didn’t see Front Bar, but that’s the second time he’s muffed that. Piss weak of the hosts not to call him out on it either time.
    Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

    Interviewing for ‘special commentary’ at Ch7. Sounds like he nailed his opportunity to maybe even lead the team there.

    Goodwin thinks we showed our hand in our last outing with them. Thought he was very arrogant in his comments there. Looking forward to smashing these pricks now.

    We may well have but I’m sure Bevo has more up his sleeve.

    None of the media can handle that the dogs are a completely different look in this GF than they have been for the majority of the year.

    I know there a narrative out there that Bevo has been driving this underdog us against them vibe within the group but what they forget is this is probably the most talented Bulldog side that we have ever put out on the park.

    I have a feeling the football world will be shocked after this one.

    Goodwin hasn't seen us with Dunkley, Treloar, Martin, added.

    I don't want a close contest, I won us to smash them
