Absolutely I do.

I want us to go all in and bring in Draper, Setterfield, Stringer and Caldwell (within reason obviously).

It would be great to go into the last game of the year (against the Pies of all teams) with the season still live.

Who knows about our changes (information from the club is always very questionable on injuries) … but you can already guarantee one change for the opposition:

But he didn’t play on Big Boy Baldwin!

That’s great for him and will probably help his confidence but it does need the context of it being against Preston Bullants who are next level terrible. They are essentially a suburban footy team. Would struggle to knock off many EDFL sides.

A nice easy kill for him though.

Que?

And the fact that outside Geelong, we seem to turn up when we are up against better teams.

If you’d read my follow-up post, you’d already have the answer to your “Que.” Post 16, above.

Yeah, I just did.

Don’t see Stringer doing much more though. Would rather Archie have another game to improve his consistency than bring in Stringer, a player who, though granted he was carrying something, has done nothing much this year, and historically doesn’t return from injury and fire.

Then again. I don’t really know any more. I love Stringer, but I wouldn’t bring him in a the expense of Perkins.

He shouldn’t play. He obviously has some medical problem with red smoke coming out his ears.

Also it looks like he is trying to rip off his shorts. They are weird in Snydey.

Are there any other Blitzers with EFC NSW Interstate memberships?
I’m usually emailed a bar code to redeem for my ticket but nothing so far
Given next Saturdays game is our only match in NSW this season, I guess I’d better contact the membership Dept

Up until today I hadn’t decided if I’d make the 2 hour trek north but a few other fellow NSW Bombers have talked me into it

I like this

it’s a do or die game they have to risk him. don’t mind him as sub. can still turn a game

They may try to fustigate us but their precipitancy could lead to their subjugation.

So this game is effectively a pre-elimination final. Loser is gone and the winner lives to fight another day. I’m not super fussed on finals but I’d love to see us back in our kids and get up for the game at least.

Changes:

In: Draper, Caldwell (if fit otherwise Setterfield), Tex
Out: Phillips, Kelly, Guelfi

Edit - that’s a reasonably exciting team to have on the park in the circumstances.

McGrath, Zerk, Hind
Redman, Baldwin, Cox
Martin, Merrett, Durham
Draper, Parish, Hobbs
Perkins, Langford, Caldwell
Tex, 2MP, Menzie
Bryan, Heppell, Lav, Tsatas

Looks like GWS are cooked.

We’re going to win arent we.

Yep

If we do make the finals, we’ll deserve to be there. Beating gws away and collingwood would be a great effort

I personally think we’ll lose both, so if we beat both, we will have earnt it

Yeah, I’d want him out there.
