When the grand final is in Perth we can all stay at @westozziebomber s place

Finding_Nino · July 12, 2020, 1:35am

Same thing could be said about Brisbane yet labeld as a flag contender

Preliminary_Point2 · July 12, 2020, 1:39am

I’d try and it would be grand. We’d sit around having tea and Biscuits as we discussed the green shoots of the turn around. We’d nod modestly in agreement, but one mustn’t let themselves get too excited.

Then someone would run through drunk and naked yelling sack Woosha and Zaka is a bum.

Our polite society party would be over.

westozziebomber · July 12, 2020, 2:11am

we’re gonna win the FLAG in Perth, aren’t we?

theDJR · July 12, 2020, 2:17am

Against West Coast.

Now that we have a predictable, repeatable gameplan so many players seem to be improving. McGrath, Langford, Parish, Ridley, Snelling, Ham … even Sheil’s kicking has improved.

I think it makes a huge difference when players know where their teammates are going to be. Their actions become more instinctive and less panicked.

We’re definitely building.

If we can keep improving, including by executing our game plan against some better sides, then add Joe, Stringer and Hepp… who knows what we can do?

FurryLog · July 12, 2020, 2:32am

We can football.

Tezzalenco · July 12, 2020, 2:33am

The big question is When we win the premiership this year who is going to hold the premiership Cup up with Hepp, Woosha or Truck?

westozziebomber · July 12, 2020, 2:39am

i would actually die if we beat the eagles in a grand final. here

im not joking. i would die

FurryLog · July 12, 2020, 2:44am

Then EFC would be blamed for your death and the AFL would overturn the result.

LucasLefty · July 12, 2020, 2:59am

No wonder Woosha was saying the other day he’s been happy with our pressure this year.

LucasLefty · July 12, 2020, 2:59am

No better way to go out!

Killer_Mike · July 12, 2020, 3:05am

I’m enjoying what I’m seeing week to week and I am for the first time in a long time optimistic we have more improvement to come.

I think it highlights that Woosha has been out of his depth and we needed coaches with tactics and development in mind.

Jamac · July 12, 2020, 4:51am

Yes. For the first time in a long time, we can football.

mdso · July 12, 2020, 4:54am

What is it about Joe’s sox, I don’t get it?

Jamac · July 12, 2020, 5:03am

Long range GF team (with highlighted ins)…

Walla JoeyD Stringer
Fanta Smack Smith

Ham Sheil Hepp
Draper McGrath Merrett

McKenna Hurley Redman
Ridley Hooker Saad

Int: Francis Langford Parish Snelling
Emeg: Towner Mozzie Cahill BZT

Preliminary_Point2 · July 12, 2020, 5:11am

I’m pretty close to that.

Have queries on whether Smack is the guy, I can see either Lav, Townsend or Stewart being preferred.

Also not sure Francis would be preferable as the rotation to someone with more run like Gleeson and Guelfi. This will be a big question that gets answered soonish. Although chances of us not having any injuries is slim.

Finding_Nino · July 12, 2020, 5:11am

I’ll be fully lid off if we beat the Dogs

Jamac · July 12, 2020, 5:37am

Agree. I think we’ll need to see how our forward line functions when Joe and Stringer are both fit and firing. Then we’ll need to pick the person that works best with that line-up.

My lid-off team assumes that Francis will continue to develop (as will Draper and Ham). Basically I think he’ll be too talented and versatile to leave out!
