Not sure if itâs been mentioned yet, but how funny was Josh Bruce trying to recreate Joeâs big hanger a few minutes later, but he just fell straight on his â â â â ?
Normally Iâm hesitant to make changes in order to focus on our team chemistry since they have hardly played together.
But my gut feeling is that we need to make some changes against the struggling teams just to keep us on edge.
I think Watson needs to come back in, and that probably means that Bird goes out. Sure, Bird had a good game, but if he was playing the Watson role (extractor) then Iâm not sure if we need both. If Heppel was to be rested I suppose Bird could stay in, though Hepps role is different as he plays more outside than Jobe. Norf could also be a good opportunity for Hepp to get some form if thatâs what is holding him back, but if itâs fitness then give him a break. Stanton could come in for Heppel too, but that doesnât achieve the unpredictability Iâm after.
I wouldnât mind bringing in Laverde or Mutch for Colyer.
Itâs a really important game to keep our finals hopes alive, and keep our momentum going, but we also need to keep the big picture and upcoming matches in sight and make sure our key players donât break down or hit a wall.
The story behind the Ali photo is quite interesting. Youâll notice the gaggle of press photographers behind Aliâs left leg? They were all the senior photo journalists at the time and newcomer Neil Leifer was relegated to the other side of the ring where he captured boxingâs greatest ever and one of sportâs most iconic images. Right place, right time.
I cant see Roo or Montagna playing on next year for the saints, especially if they are in the market for Kelly and they miss they 8 as they have a tough run home. I cant see them beating the swans.
We just need to come the first quarter of the north game with the same intensity and break them early.
Will be nice not having McKernan vs Goldstein as well. Bellchmabers has probably been a bit underated in the ruck, his influence and pushing forward and getting goals.
