Agree watching the finals so many small forwards have excelled... We dropped our only 2...


Edwards is our best small forward. I'm happy with playing the best team the coaching staff see as the best. The guy that worries me the most is Newman. Go tigers!!

well, the talls need to be clunking their marks or we could be seeing a lot of their defenders cleaning up the crumbs and hurting us with a fast rebound.
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.
 
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

Yahweh? or the great Clawski?

Lennon in for Newman would have been perfect.


It would have been professional.

Yep. BG was embarrassing today.
“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.

Absolute fail.

And now Lennon will probably be miffed and leave.

Hadn't tampered with the team since about round 7.

Finals coaching manual.

Rule A. Never bring in an underdone player.

Conca was okay. Griff even if he kicked his two goals from the first quarter was a huge gamble. It backfired and Lennon would have been more than handy today.

2013 Nick Duigan
Last year we kicked against the wind away from home.
This year selecting an underdone Griff when Lennon was clearly the better choice.

Next year coaxing Newman out of retirement.

Eff me. :-\

Shocking today but it was not his fault he was picked when he was so underdone.  Very poor decision in such an important game. Hasn't played a match in 7 weeks FFS. What were they thinking?
OER. Calling it as it is since 2004.

Nah Griffiths to Carlton for Armfield because we need another bloke with tatts who looks like a sicko but plays like a cardboard cut out come finals time.
