Really, we should win this one. We ARE a better team, and the spot we are on the ladder is irrelevant.

Taz will probably miss again, but we might get C1 (J.Cloke) back into the lineup.

Pies by 29 points.

With both sides going for priority picks, will we see a nil all draw?

On the other hand, win every game and a couple of others go our way, we make it into the finals!

In all seriousness though, I am more interested in who we bring in, and how they play, rather than the result.

We need to (and should) win both this and the following game against Richmond and get a bit of positiveness back into the place.

Would'nt be suprised if rooca misses this game due to injuries

This is a dead rubber. If we win Whoopee!!! If we don't who cares. Our season has ended, now lets see if we are going for priority picks or if we make a game of it.

I am not being negative, just realistic. If we win it does not mean much in the scheme of things.

There is no way we will go for priority picks. That is not MMs style and he has said as much in the press.

We should win 3 games of the remaining 6. Of the others we have a chance against Essendon and Port with only a rough chance of beating Freo at Subi.

After rnd.22, anything less than 10W/12L is unaccepatble, even given injuries/suspensions etc.
Might i suggest we revert to that direct gameplan that lasted one week against a weakened Hawk outfit, than saw us kick 20.20?
I'm really, really tired of all this "going-wide" shit football.
Just start taking some risks with the ball again, as there is absolutely nothing to lose now.

Wouldn't suprise me if we lost this one, the Dogs have a knack of scaring us early but they can never sustain it. If they are infront by few goals at 1/2 time, i wouldn't like our chances as our forward line hasn't fired a shot at all this year...

I think the Dogs may just have a bit more class in the midfield for us. I mean Darcy, Johnson, West, Cooney, Ray...
I don't think we can cover the loss of Rocca (if doesn;t play) and Tazza. Bulldogs to win by 16 points.
Having said that I've tipped us still.

Pies by 20. But I'm not 100% sure but hey? Who cares?!

Who will take Rawlings without Wakes?

labrooy · Post by **labrooy** » Wed Jul 21, 2004 7:56 pm

Presti will take Rawlings, or Clement. I think Walker will come in to replace Wakes and will pick up Darcy.

Not sure why you're all doubting whether we are going to win this... At our best, we are a 20 + goal better side than this rabble and we will spank them. Pies by 89 points.

Dogs are tanking it.

Cannibal · Post by **Cannibal** » Wed Jul 21, 2004 8:57 pm

I don't think they are tanking (they don't need to, anyway).

It may be legal, but it was morally wrong to ask Croft to restructure his contract into one heavily loaded on performance then leave him to rot in the VFL, thereby lowering their total player salary payments. They have serious financial problems, but this is a pathetic way to go about dealing with it.

I think it was labrooy who said that we are slim chance of beating Freo in perth - We have only ever beaten the Eagles once in Perth (not counting pre-season) and that was by 1 point and we have only ever beaten the dockers at subi the year they didn't win a game for 17 rounds - We are definately no chance to beat them, even in their early days they would beat us at the WACA.

As a WA magpie you know you rock up to subi knowing the result. Anyway I hope we lose to the Bulldogs for priority picks - but whenever I say that early in the week, when bouncedown comes I can't stand us to lose to anybody!!
