21 MAN SQUAD v MANLY

[zac]

Some of you need to piss off and go “support” Melbourne, weak fans constantly shitting on the team in the season they’ve gone above and beyond under immense turmoil and instead of being proud it’s just whinge whinge whinge.

haha - welcome to the pen. this is us being positive

He'll star at 6.

It's an interesting one. Effectively I guess it just means they swap sides of the ruck.

Possibly gives cleaner kicking options with Drew a right footer and Lammy a lefty. Which will be important on Friday.

Our left side was a bit off the pace with and without the ball last week. I'd like to see Lam bring his short kick game in which he has, occasionally too. Mixes up the attacking options rather than just block play after block play.

I know Tom T can pop up anywhere but think he prefers left side attacking raids, which will threaten our right side defence.

Hutchison is left-footed

They couldnt possibly jag another win could they ?????????

Nat has finals experience so he has to be there. I think SST is a big out. Their bench is nothing special either BTW.

Absolutely sucks that SST got injured again as late in the regular season he was starting to play some outstanding footy again you could certainly notice the lack of go forward against the Titans.

That's not what we meant when we said Lam shouldn't be our starting halfback

Maybe it’s the sixes & sevens game plan.

Nat is not BIG.
Think we're gonna be in trouble with our small team.

Nat is not big and neither is your brain old man.

Exactly..good post.

Some grumpy ones on here complaining that they'll be disappointed if we don't go beyond Friday night and that it would be considered a failure of a season. Really? I'm so proud of this club RIGHT NOW regardless of what happens after this...go stand in the shoes of the fans of boring dysfunctional clubs who've won nothing in years and then complain. My dad used to say if you give some people the moon they'll whinge that you didn't go fetch the stars for them too..

Has anyone actually said those words? Or is it just a case of nearly every fan being disappointed with injuries and what could have been?

[Billy Gunn]

He is a key piece defensively though does a lot of the dirty stuff Friend used to do that doesn't get noticed by the average footy fan.

I like Nat don't get me wrong but SST adds more with the ball

There was something similar in another thread I read this morning. I was horrified..really...some are just hard to please. .

At least Robbo and Nick are pulling out every possible stop to keep the entire squad going - and away from home too..some people seem to forget this too...travelling all over the countryside like the Leyland Brothers and still winning and hanging in there....like others have said, other clubs are one man down (cue Leo Sayer music in my head) and they fall to pieces.

[Mickie Lane]

Go the Roosters.

Actually I have read someone saying that today that they are ‘tough markers and if we don’t win we have achieved nothing and would be disappointed because we play for trophies blah blah blah.’ Funny though cause I think that person had an issue with my opinion on a certain player.

Well... it was either him or Ashley de Klein.
