Skids, it's not clear the extra week's rest is an advantage.Skids wrote:...

At least Dribblesworth and the Toff Collective will have to watch the game from the comforts of their chalets, with rapidly melting snow, as they sure as f^ck won't be watching it from the members stand at MCG; too bad, so sad.Clifton Hill-Billy wrote:I just want a close interesting game, can't stand the toffs and Lord dribblesnot crew so will be barracking for Bullflogs (not that I particularly like them), which means it will be a Dreamons premiership as the team I want to win the grand final invariably loses!
If nothing else, the restructuring of interstate finals and GF, has allowed us the opportunity to see how teams recalibrate for a GF after a 14 day break, to get all their cattle on the park, instead of the standard 7 day break to recover from lingering soft tissue problems... trusting it ensures a genuinely classic battle, with no blow out margin due to fatigue.K wrote:Skids, it's not clear the extra week's rest is an advantage.Skids wrote:...

One week off is fine. One week off. Then a game. Then another week off... compared with just one week off... Some claim the latter is better! I wouldn't go that far, but...
Why will the Dees be fresher? Both have the same period off before the GF.90 nice wrote:Dees for me they will run out the game be close first half but dees will be fresher and run out 19 point winners I really hope Melbourne win it

The Dogs had their moment 5 years ago.
Hmmm... would be nice to find out if they will stream that MMM commentary; would gladly do the same at my place, and mute the muppet show.Skids wrote:Dennis Cometti to commentate the game on MMM Perth.
The best game commentator by that far it's not funny, tv will be on mute at my place.
They've had "too much" of a break. It's unfair, really. They've had to schedule a competitive internal scratch match this weekend to try to compensate.Lazza wrote:Why will the Dees be fresher?

I definitely think the week off before the GF has its advantages. (e.g. think of what happens if someone gets concussed in a PF and has to have the 12-day break.)piedys wrote:...

1 competitive match in 4 weeks for the Dees - and it wasn't really a competitive match.K wrote:They've had "too much" of a break. It's unfair, really.
