I would think rain works against Essendon. Not sure how it affects us. Our skills are fairly putrid right now so it shouldn’t make much of a difference but at least bring Essendon down a notch or two.

I think that's right. A slog might be ok for us. Certainly stops 2MP!

90 percent Dons fans probably won't be so neutral, but I think it will rev us up.

It'd be the same in SA or any other neutral ground we play. Like them or not they have a huge following.

West Coast game was in pouring rain for the first half, and we did well there

We’ve been fumbling a lot under the roof..rain will make no difference….to us at least.

If we win we play the loser of the Melbourne/Brisbane match.

Herald Sun out in force:

“A two-minute visit to a Covid exposure site could mean Nick Hind misses a semi-final, should Essendon win on Sunday.”

I wonder if we will even fly to Tassie.

Looking at the sub:

From: Schache, Scott, Gardner, West


We can cover smalls/mids, rule out Scott & West
If anything happens to out two KPDs then we need Schache or Gardner
If anything happens to Young, we need Schache
If anything happens to Naughton or English, we need Schache

I think the sub needs to be Schache.

Only worry is Schache lack of intensity in a final.

Only worry is Schache lack of intensity in a final.

He’s a sub so if selected he might not play. But his versatility gives us insurance I think. We will find out the rest if he takes the field.
