Yep.
If the mids are earning their keep n our forward pressure shuts down any slingshot rebound, then their forwards will struggle. We're the masters of dirty ball footy going both ways n that's what makes us so difficult to beat.

Only once in the last forty years. More teams, annual draft, minimal size playing lists. Makes it damn hard for sides to get dominant periods within the season.
So is Aker & Gastev.
If we loose to this mob, it will be for me equivalent to the feeling I had when we lost to them in 87 and won the spoon.
We will smash them.
They remind me us under Frawley, beat the easy team then get smashed ny the real teams.
This time around we are the REAL team. (Excluding Ellis)
I look at it the other way.
It's happened now three times in the last 48 years but only once in the previous 75 years (and never in the previous 73 years).
*smile*. I know I saw a much longer list before I posted, either that or I've had a massive brain fart. Has that L2R2R bloke fudged the paperwork n undone me?

Does this mean Grimes is a definite starter, or could Balta or McKintosh be his replacement?
In Cotchin Out Ross
That's it. They won't mess with things too much.
Give Ross a full game on ball in the VFL. Wouldn't discount him yet.

Understood but question was, are one of them his likely replacement? Thought Garthwaite might have been included?
Putting it that way maybe Dylan is a certain starter.
Think it would be Balta vs Chol given Balta's role changed last week at VFL level to Forward/Ruck as opposed to defense.
Kmac was good down back in VFL so may be the cover but certainly not a like for like. They might even want a bigger body back there than Baker?
Hi Ceasar
Do you know what time training is and if it's open or is it.... get upstairs @the royal with binoculars?
