Pre-Match. Pies v. Roos.

[ANNODAM]

Should win & win well.

Docklands though, pure rubbish ground & I just scored some tickets (for my Birthday) to watch Penrith take on Melbourne on June 30 there.

[mattdally]

This ground works for us.
We are #1 in scores from stoppages.
Small ground helps. Bring it on 80+ points

[LaurieHolden]

I can't see us resting anyone this weekend.
Which one of the old guard will want to sit out on Sidey's 300th?

We'll name our strongest team and crush North.

Next week against the Eagles, send the VFL side for all I care. Then we've got the bye. Perfect timing.

^ sorry massive risk resting that many players, firstly to North that just looks like A: hubris and B: the risk to team balance bringing in so many at once is crazy.


Both North and West Coast are not to be taken lightly... firstly North have some great young kids and are more then competitive on the day (dont let the media lul you into over confidence) they pushed us to within 7 points last year....no reason they can't do it again.


We have to play West Coast over there...yes they are hopeless and beaten up injury wise. Playing in W.A is always a risk with the home crowd.


We rest players if they MUST be rested.


The moment anyteam gets a bit too over confident and goes at 95% instead of 100...is when form starts slipping.

There's a bye in 3 weeks. Players can have a rest then.
To suggest we rest Sidebottom for his 300th game is laughable - tell me you know nothing about footy without telling me
I guess every club has supporters who just don't understand the game.

[MagpiesTheGreat]

Have never been to Dockland Hut. Will go, this weekend.
Pies to win by 88 points.

It will be perceived as what it is, sheer arrogance and over confidence if we did not pick our best team to play the north game. By all means rest an aging player or two at the very most but geez to rest more than that is playing with fire and it will backfire. Form and confidence is a precious commodity and even some supporters are getting a bit ahead of themselves by such suggestions. I hope the club selection process shows common sense rather than take a chance with risky decisions. I have seen this type of nonsense backfire and also I think McRea is smart enough not to take this approach.
