THIS is a MUST win game, no excuses, we must be in a rotten mood after last night. We are a much better team than this mob, be as competitive as we were last two games, and we should win pretty well. Maybe bring Hudson or Lynch, to help young Grundy. If adams gets suspended, I guess Thomas comes in for him, or kennedy ? Win this and we go 2-2, and the season is still young, anything can happen then. Must win.

[The Boy Who Cried Wolf]

Yeah. We and the tigers have got tough draws for the next 3 games, and we're both on the same break, so whoever loses this game is going to be under intense pressure!!! It's a must win game.

[MattyD]

If we can't beat 11thmond then our rebuild/reno is going to take longer than I thought.

They just got beaten by the Bulldogs for chrisakes.

They will come out breathing fire. They should have won this weekend and didn't. As usual, it will be another grand final type game for our boys. And I don't think it toughens players up, it wears them out.

It will be interesting. Toss of the coin for me.

We should win but I've always believed any team can beat any other team on any given day with the right attitude and a bit of luck.

We must be due for a bit of luck, surely. The umpires can't crucify us for every game and surely Cloke is due for a good one?

[David]

Won't be easy, but I think we're slightly ahead of them at the moment—plus, we have a good record against them of late.

A must-win game, to say the least.

[WarrenerraW]

Have to win no matter what otherwise we'll be pushing shit up hill for the rest of the season. There will be lots of changes made to accommodate for injuries and suspensions so it will be a very young and inexperienced team taking the field next week no doubt. Grundy could use a hand in the ruck so maybe Lynch or Hudson could get a call up and a couple more hard runners wouldn't go astray either. Thomas, Kennedy, Martin could get a game. Bloody injuries are killing us. Could Clarke or Mooney get a gig? I'm not sure I'd play both but I think one of them would be alright. Mooney has lightening speed and the club obviously sees something in him to sign him again. Still not sure about his football nous but is fast as hell.

[RudeBoy]

Witts or Lynch should come in, along with Kennedy.

The outs will be determined by injuries and suspension.

A must win game, or our season is in serious trouble.

[Hiss]

I am predicting a 70 point plus win. Lets hear ya!

[MagpieBat]

Accounting for injuries and possible suspensions...

IN: Thomas, Kennedy, Lynch, Clarke^
OUT: Adams, Blair, Dwyer, Swan*

*Swan is obviously carrying something, so time off needed.
^Don't shoot! Nothing left in the cupboard, so he gets a game.

[AN_Inkling]

In: Thomas, Kennedy, Witts, Clarke (last could be any number of others)
Out: Adams (sus), Dwyer (inj), Blair (om), Goldsack/Keeffe (om)

I'd need to see the Tigers lineup to know how tall we should go. Not happy with having to play Witts and Grundy together, but it might be necessary.

Kennedy for Blair and Thomas for Adams are obvious moves for mine. The rest are debatable and depend on team balance. Blair might even hold his spot with the injury to Dwyer.

[Collingwood Crackerjack]

It should be a doozy; you would think the loser can definetly forget top 4, and the way the expansions teams are going possibly top 8 as well
