I think the chairing off at fulltime suggests Tadhg has played his last game and it was decided before yesterday's game that it would be the case.
I'm with ugg, even though he didn't hand the Brions a couple of goals, Mattner was giving away enough for all of them, he didn't do anything that suggested he is anywhere near the player we know, love and need.
Driver of the Dan Hannebery bandwagon....all aboard. 4th April 09
I thought White played fairly well. Sure he lost some 50/50's but he was phenomenal in the ruck and shot off his great quickfire handballs to set up important plays.
Also thought Spangher was fantastic. Tadhg was suprisingly consistent for his farewell match.
Outs:
Jetta, Malceski
Ins:
Reid (if fit) or Gordon (if not) and Grundy
If Reid is genuinely in doubt and consequently doesn't play, I'd be brining Pyke in. He takes 2nd ruck/forward role that Jesse is taking up and Jesse plays permanent forward.
Jesse was very poor yesterday up forward but his 2 games before were good enough to give him another shot.

Herald Sun has thoughts on ins/outs in their finals preview. They reckon we're "close to our best side."

Then again, despite listing the game as being at Etihad, the rest of their notes are about ANZ so what do they know...
What did you good people think of Monty's "tackle" on ROK? ROK looked very p'd off about it at the time....apologies if this is discussed elsewhere.
Nothing wrong with Monty's hit on ROK. Great hit in fact. Perfectly legal.
I just can't wait to see guys like Parker/Rohan playing finals footy. I think they'll both be fantastic September kids in the coming years. Ultra competitors.
I think he was simply being chaired off after his likely last game at his home ground. He said last week that he hoped to play deep into finals. And I thought he played his best game for ages - including some run and dash and none of those stupid decisions under pressure that I've suggested he should be dropped for. We're not Brisbane - he will play I reckon.
And Marty was up against it without Reg, the other bookend in defence. Did well in the circumstances. It looked to me like Hanners butchered the ball more.
