Round 20 Discussion

Re: Round 20 Discussion

I've enjoyed watching Brisbane tonight. For a team that has problems with player retention they have a few likely types. When they play like they have tonight it's worth watching

I often find matches between bottom teams in the latter half of the year really entertaining. The players seem to be up for it after being flogged by the better teams.

Hopefully not tomorrow from 3:20pm

The head to head form suggests it's going to be pretty close tomorrow.

Don't be surprised if we're up for a fight.

Re: Round 20 Discussion

Quick scenario here:

We beat Melbourne today. Dockers beat up on West Coast in a bruising derby match.

We go to Perth next week and knock off West Coast...

And we are THIRD.... Effing THIRD!! I'm already pinching myself this year, but should we finish third, we'd get a Melbourne final and a double chance. This after many thought we'd finish dead last!

Yep.

Bulldog Joe has been putting this scenario forward for at least 3 weeks now.

And further to that Webby, I know we have to travel to Perth, but whilst we are playing W/C, North are playing Freo at Etihad. So North will also be a bit sore and sorry for themselves.

Gee Freo look vulnerable. If we can win this week and hang on for 4th, we'd have to give ourselves a massive chance of heading back to Perth in a few weeks and being highly competitive in a playoff for a week off and a home prelim.

Are they a lock to finish on top?

Should be in for a tough game this week against North and then have to travel to Adel to play Port in the last round.

Re: Round 20 Discussion

Masten being investigated for biting.
Will be interesting to see how this plays out. Could be another very timely boost.

True.

Schofield, their best remaining tall defender, also hurt his hammy and is in doubt and Cripps broke his jaw in a nasty incident.

We're certainly getting them at a good time.

Although I suspect that he will play a doubt still remains on NicNat returning. Apparently not due back from Fiji until Tuesday. Lycett injured himself as well.

Re: Round 20 Discussion

The way our season is going, there'll probably be a cyclone hit Fiji and NN will be stuck there for the week

Whoa, check out the mark he allegedly left. How many would biting attract if he was to be found guilty?
