Preview Round 1 - changes/preview v. Western Bulldogs

[Scythe94]

Didn't we basically say he was sick going into that Freo game and then he played s**t?

Yep, worst game he ever played imo.

 

[booshboy]

Gawn said on Triple M during the week he was under the weather.

 

[Bluelegs]

Why do we keep playing sick players? We've done it since Moloney in 186

Seems like we have 16 odd players who don't even need to hear team selection they just show up and get a game and the rest can fight for spots

Why do we keep playing sick players?

Because we hope they infect the opposition (ref: Typhoid Mary)

claimed his contract was paid outside of the cap when he left Collingwood. Not even concussion related.

Guy is probably not a super trustworthy witness though.

Yeah I dunno what Jay Z was on about I couldn't find much about it

 

[Demon 16]

I know he's the captain and main ruck, but why play guys if they are coming off sickness? It's like rushing back guys from injury.

I here lies the problem with poor list management.. who could we have played instead?

 

[PurpJuice]

Famous last words but christ that Dogs backline looks completely dogshit.

Even we might kick a score against that

All Australians everywhere, strong intercept markers, lots of speed.

Looks like the best dogs backline named for the past 10 years

as he streams out of defence.

not.

 

[Proper Gander]

Montagna said he had some information that might explain Gawn’s lethargy against Sydney.

“There’s a little bit of mail that he might have been a bit crook, he might’ve been unwell going into that game (vs. Sydney),” he said.

“So, I expect him just to flex his muscles and show that he is still the best ruckman in the competition. Going up against Tim English, who might be the next big thing on the scene, I reckon ‘Maxy’ will take him to the cleaners.

“I think the Demons get the win that they have to get, and he’ll lead the way.”

Who at Melbourne is paying Montagna for all of this? He’s like a sentient form of Demonland

Why do we keep playing sick players? We've done it since Moloney in 186

Trac vs Freo a couple of years back a classic.

 

[Toump Ass]

Pretty sure Dayne Beams claimed his contract was paid outside of the cap when he left Collingwood. Not even concussion related.

Sure did. And Gil was unable to confirm or deny this happened . AFL love helping out the Pies. Jaidyn Stephenson suspension was a load of crap as well, literally negotiated with Collingwood.

 

[Headless]

That's almost 2,000 years ago. Sounds like we definitely have form!

The AFL always makes us play in Gaul.

Not as lucky as the Dogs.
