Teams don’t matter. TV does.

Haha gold. I think 8s old enough to learn life's valuable lessons.

Getting home from the Gabba is a pain in the butt for anyone, so he'd prob learn quite a few lessons that night!

Should we tag Neale?

You can't tag them all, so I wouldn't. I'd go:

Dunkley - Zorko
Roarke - Rich

Then see how that plays out. Neal got it 8000 times against Melbourne but they hardly scored, where as if Zorko got it an extra 10 times they prob score 3 more goals and things are tighter.

Bevo may legit go head to head though and just see how it goes. I hope he doesn't. I think Dunks added a lot of value locking down in the 2nd half last weekend, and doing that's probably a bigger influence than he'd have if he was free wheeling.

Dunkley on Zorko would be catastrophic. There's no way he can keep up. Zorko is an explosive player, but I still wouldn't tag him to start with.

For mine, it's McCluggage (Roarke Smith) and Rich (Hannan).

That looks good to me.

Especially when he's eight going on nine. If it was eight going on seven it might be a bit much.

Yep, definitely McCluggage and Rich…
Zorko just needs a player to knock him on his arse.

All you have to do is frustrate Zorko a little and he's done, he's his own worst enemy.

Because he said it publicly, I doubt it happens. Charlie Cameron nominated Conner Ballenden as a replacement for McStay.

Re: Brisbane Lions V Western Bulldogs - 2021 1st Semi Final

McStay is such a massive out. It can't be understated. He's so important to them. A great target that needs to be respected, big and strong, experienced and a great set shot at goal.

Talking about being hard done by in the lead up to the game Brisbane losing McStay in the way they did leading into a cut-throat Semi is bordering on catastrophic.

Especially as he lives out at Rochedale!

This was a big part of my consideration. I'm not a monster!

Great set shot? Hmmm… Good mark and important structurally for sure

He's kicked 28.10 this year and 113.61 throughout his career. I wish many of our players had that sort of accuracy.

Re: Brisbane Lions V Western Bulldogs - 2021 1st Semi Final

McStay is a solid set shot but he's really there for his contested marking and ability to take a grab down the line.
