    I'm thinking of tying a hanky around my face and asking for Crouchie's address.

      Who will stop Ryan Griffen?

      I feel if we stop Griffen's outside run we will go a really long way to winning the game. The question is who will they send to him to do the stopping?

      I dont think Kirky has the pace to go with him like the Riley article suggests.

      Maybe Smithy or Kizza or even Shaw might be a good option.
      Would be interested to hear what the RWO community think about it.

      Im starting to get nervous and i have been reasonably confident all week. I cant wait for tomorrow night.

        He's not dissimilar in style to Judd - ie big-bodied, strong and quick. Maybe they will try Kennedy on him at some stage. He doesn't have the pace, but out of the middle he might be able to use his size to stop Griffen getting a run at the ball.

          I think Jude had him in Round 21, but might be the matchup on the bigger MCG.

            I find myself thinking constantly of planning for Grandfinal weekend, ticket to game,people to avoid accomodation, travel, party in carpark - that kind of thing - it is just taking up all of my thoughts!

                  I'm planning lots of drinks during it. But that will be at a friend's house in Sydney unfortunately. Even an hour ago I found myself browsing at airfares on Webjet.

                    I will be having a few quiet one's at the Alex with Annie, Jules, Yuri and the other RWOers who show up - it could get quite rowdy - oh well those wanting a nice quiet night at the pub, suggest you find another venue.
                    I used to be indecisive, but now I'm not so sure..................

                      I already have my Swans desk flag, Bean bear, Swans coffee mug, footy and assorted photos' on the wall & framed (me and Spida at the 25 year dinner!) - a scarf will come out and be draped over the PC on Monday week - results permitting. Not that I'm a fanatic or anything

                        I'm torn. I wore my Premiership scarf for a few games in 2006 and it was a disaster so I stopped for a few years. But I decided not to wait any more a few weeks ago and we've been winning consistently while it's on. So I've decided Premiership scarf - and game - on.

                          It's not that clear cut. He's been injured most of the season.

                          I can't remember who it was against, but I thought they were going to take him into a paddock and put him down after the game he was so lame, but he seems to come back strong the next week.

                            Does that mean he will play well tonight, put in a shocker against the Saints, but then tear it up in the GF?

                                2 Hrs then into the G. So do I wear the 2005 Premiership scarf or not ??....... hasn't been too successful at the G since late 2006

                                And a few of the names are wearing other colours now.
