jw1739 Posted June 12, 2021 Report Share Posted June 12, 2021 IMO we still have the players available who can win this SF for us. I see it as a real test of our coaching team rather than the players themselves. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate Posted June 13, 2021 Report Share Posted June 13, 2021 Our form is concerning but I think we still go into this one as deserved favourites. The week off has come at the best possible time for us with the likes of Nabbout, Griffiths and Atkinson all the better for hopefully getting to starting fitness in time, and Macarthur themselves looked as though they had a few injury concerns after the 120 minutes. Not to mention the red card to Meredith, which means Golec will probably have to start at left back and he's a player we can definitely expose with pace on that right wing. The biggest problem is finishing, and without Maclaren we really do look a 1 goal a game worse team, but I'm still confident there's enough ability and depth in the squad to produce a result here. Fingers crossed we can all attend! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shahanga Posted June 13, 2021 Report Share Posted June 13, 2021 I’m assuming we’ll get Noone back and that Griffiths is Ok. I can’t imagine Nabbout playing. so a front 3 of Noone- Cola-Tilio Atkinson might come in for Galloway too. We will definitely have a good enough side to win it. I guess our form doesn’t lend itself to hope, but a run of form doesn’t last forever does it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattyh001 Posted June 13, 2021 Report Share Posted June 13, 2021 Any final comes down to the team who performs the best that day. Talent has some impact, but whoever puts their chances away are the ones win. We definitely have the talent, so fingers crossed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imtellingyou Posted June 14, 2021 Report Share Posted June 14, 2021 I'm happy to attend both games if I'm allowed to travel, wherever. We'll make another Premiers next year with Leckie, but grand finale is finale. The attacking trio Atkinson Cola Tilio wouldn't suprised me with Noone being sore (injured). Rodrigues is also on combination. Do we have a chance, not interested in that speculation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we can move the game to either Geelong or Ballarat so at least we get to stay in our own state and Macarthur still have to travel. Obviously would rather just play behind closed doors at AAMI but if some level of crowds are allowed in regional areas then it's far better than moving it to Sydney Edited June 14, 2021 by icantthinkofacoolname Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the Acting Premier and other spokesmen specifically mention "crowds at AFL matches" in press conferences, you know perfectly well that they do tell the government what to do. And they have inside information as well. That's why they're the first to get out of Melbourne ahead of a lockdown. FFA and APL, being in Sydney, have no idea of what is going on.

recyclosaurusrex Posted June 15, 2021 Report Share Posted June 15, 2021 Quote That would mean a crowd of just under 7400. Townsend said while that was not ideal, it would be acceptable for semi-final. “But we couldn’t restrict grand final numbers to that,” he said. So we could get 7400 to the Grand Final based on current capacity limits. But that isn't enough for the Grand Final. Last years grand final had only 7051 in attendance... just saying. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nate Posted June 16, 2021 Report Share Posted June 16, 2021 Even if it is the dreaded sokkah, Melbourne loves a Grand Final too much to pass up if they can help it.

NewConvert Posted June 16, 2021 Report Share Posted June 16, 2021 My regular taxi driver who by and large is a decent bloke also does a lot of trading for brothels and sex workers that operate on their own. Even during the "ring of steel" he was kept busy by the sex trade - did not have a day off. It actually says a lot more about Melbourne (and regional) blokes than it does about anything else. Melbourne "the sporting capital of the world" - bollocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
