    I'm excited. Re-watched the last time we played in preparation. I think we really profited from May being out AND Petty dealing with injuries. I suspect this was key to us being able to dramatically reduce Melbourne's scores from turnover and also improved our ability to transition out of defence.

    I'm glad we've got Hickey for Ladhams and that Wicks isn't playing, even though both had pretty good games when we beat Melbourne in R12.

    Interesting to see Gould is there, no doubt as an emergency - but he wasn't listed as one of the emergencies (was he?) so I don't know whether to read anything into that. Is it possible that one of our other defenders is injured and he's coming in? We had a defender debut in a final last night.

    Agree with all those who say it would be hard to sit through a match like last night's!

    Great post MattW - got a chuckle out of me.
    I commented to a friend a couple of days ago that it would be great if they took the whole squad down, but figured that was unlikely with a game on Sunday to prepare for.

    Maybe they have.

      That reminds me about the Collingwood game in 2013 at the MCG. The bus broke down so the players caught a tram to the ground. There were photos of Goodes standing next to supporters in the tram.

        I would have liked for us to be wearing the red V tonight. Isn't this an away game for us?

          Didn't that happen in a big game in recent years - where they ended up getting the tram. I'm sure we won that night too... I'll take any good omens I can find!

          Edit just read down and saw Mel_C post - doh!

            Why did Jmac turn back instead kicking, turnover, goal.

              Sam Reid! Dead in front and misses and we go in 10 points down. You have to kick those easy set shots.

                You can feel when Sam’s gonna do one of those, unfortunately. You can also see it in his eyes. Costly.

                & the Lloyd kick at the end was a disaster.
