Foley has been someone who has disappointed me this season. Often our momentum has been stopped when Axel has had the ball either with a bad on the run bounce, bad kick or bad handball.

I'd rather more midfielders than more small defenders. Foley is alot more value. Petterd is mediocre. Dea and Batch should feel disappointed. Dimma and petterd must be having an affair.

Hey Ramps, Im convinced Foley will be massive next season. Last time he came back in 2011 he was mediocre, then in 2012 up until his injury, he was pretty awesome. Hopefully the same thing happens and this season is a consolidation period before unleashing next year.  :pray

Personally I'm disappointed that the Big O was dropped and Foley was dropped instead of Petterd. Must be going to play Newman off the wing or HFF. Who do you think will play sub?

I'd say there are a couple of major outs at Carlscum.
I still feel Foley will play given possibility of rain on Sunday and therefore Tuck will play.
Pettard therefore will miss.
Would think their outside run is what troubles us. Need mids.

Not looking like rain at this stage.
Foley looked slow during h&a will be like treacle in a final. Winning contested football - in the air and on the ground will be crucial.
Tuck gets in the team on that basis
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

Yep no rain expected. I think Tuck should start and then see how he goes. His hard ball gets and big body will be crucial early in a final and given his impending retirement he will leave nothing on the field. Hard to think right now who should be the sub.

Man gotta feel for foley. Would be pretty shattered to miss out and I feel we need his pace since we already have lost white.

I think I can feel a late change.

Petterd over Foley, as if. Still got Lids, Houli, Vlastuin and Newman who can play the half back role.

Foley is much tougher than Petterd.
