I am concerned that the hot weather will not assist our elderly statesmen.

Is there time to build a water fountain in the centre square?

The club needs to bail Scott Pendlebury up and ask him where exactly the fountain of youth is located.

Just train under heaters indoors at the glasshouse.

Or even in a sauna room and work out in there for the week.

Also who thinks Adams could be the sub.

On air radio SEN Dwyaneo thinks Adams will be ruled out.

Still think Adams is a chance be it as sub.

Adams will not play. You do not bring dodgy hammies into a Granny.

Time to record our 1600th win and 16th Premiership!
and 16th Coach!

its definitely a sign!
Clearly 16 is the common factor.
So Ed Allan will have a break out year in 2024.

Allan Atkinson agrees

Alan Richardson #13 was 50/50 before the 1990 Grand Final. Matthews put him through a very physical test and he was ruled out. Will History repeat itself again?

Wasnt that the key to rest Adams for the prelim in order to get him right for the GF if we make it.

Now we make it and now hes in doubt.

I dont get it.

I think Adams will play.You need a player with that sort of toughness and desperation in a Grand Final.

After watching the Brisbane - Carlton game, I think an important factor will be negating Charlie Cameron. Cameron has excellent skills and a genuine desire to score goals at any opportunity. Cameron has cut us up in the past and if there is one argument not to play the unfortunate John Noble, it is his poor performance on goal kicking small forwards. Small forwards have hurt us in a few games and often its due to neither Noble nor Maynard being capable of shutting them down(Cameron has kicked 17.1 in his last four games against us). I think Oleg and sometimes Quaynor have done a much better job of negating small forward's influence this season. Brisbane looked vulnerable when Cameron was off his game in the first quarter against Carlton and they really got going when he lifted later in the game. I would have Oleg watching him closely because, if you negate Cameron, you negate at least 50% of their main scoring power. He is also a barometer for them too. When he is up and about, Brisbane lifts considerably. Shut him down successfully and we are well on the way to holding up the silverware.

Few things:
Adam’s shouldn’t play unless 101%. If he limps off half way through the first we’re getting number 28 not 16. Hopefully he can find it in himself to emulate Presti.

Heat won’t matter.

MCG is a big advantage BUT there will be no Magpie army. It will almost be the other way. That’s the issue 70k are corporate and given we’re the most hated club will be behind Brisbane.

FWIW I think should we win Cox will be best on kicking 5+.

On the recent forms, GWS Dwarfs are the second-best team. And we won.

McStay was out of the team in the early part of the season. The team knows what to do without him. His absence in the GF could be an advantage to us because the Bears know him well.

Pies to win by 28 points!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

Wow, amazing co-incidence, with numbers matching again!!
Just read the story here:
https://www.saints.com.au/news/421298/t ... ethal-test

I think that history won't repeat because 13 is unlucky once, but not twice.
Fly will put him through the same prematch test, but Adams will be watching for sudden changes in angle and will jump the necessary hurdle!
