Re: Jake Lever - Stick an elbow IN HIS BACK!
Does the fact that it looks like it’s going to be wet and cold help us?

I wonder if we go smaller in the forward line and drop JUH?

God I hope not.
Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

My Melbourne friends have said all year they play really well in the wet.

Arguably. Our defenders are more spoil than mark types, perhaps Keath less so. Their defenders rely on it absolutely.
Our tall forwards aren’t huge pack Marks except Naughton whose hands are probably still good enough. McDonald will have to lead more.
If it gets slippery then Salem might need an extra split second to get the ball in his hands and ready to kick. If JJ is going to do the job, hopefully his speed to shut him down with that extra split second.
Perhaps Gawn gets less purchase on some of his precise deft hit outs. We both have a good small (Cody vs Pickett).
We need to hunt and tackle. We played a pretty good game in the rain vs Brisbane in Ballarat in Bailey Smiths first season. From memory he got around 10 tackles himself. That’s what I want to see. If the ball can get to ground at both ends their strength is mitigated and we need some good ‘one grab’ smalls and mids to clean up or attack.
I don’t think on its own it’s sways the result, but if we can pressure and hunt, tackle and hurt, and take our chances in front of goal, then I think we are going to around the mark.

What if it’s a bottom 8 team?

They beat Richmond in the wet when Tigers were up and about, but then we beat WCE in the rain in Perth (mainly first half rain, but we were well on top)

“Melbourne friends” plural? Did you got to private school?
I think a wet game suits us but we’ll need to crack in at the contest way better than last time. Reckon it makes Ben Brown more of a liability than usual. Will hurt our handball game is my major concern, but the West Coast game gives me some optimism given how well we handled it.

Cordy legally dumping Lever or May at every opportunity is appealing.

My secret shame.
The drug : packaged up highlights of the 2016 finals series. Strangely not that popular in Sin City but does a roaring trade behind the Footscray Market.
