Rumour Virus

Greggy · May 30, 2011

I've been hearing a few rumours on talk back that some of the guys were a bit down from a virus, Miller got subbed because of it. Anyone else hear this?

Spluff · May 30, 2011

Didn't Miller have a virus last week?

Puntroad · May 30, 2011

Someone said Brad Miller should have had another week off to get 100%. Thats all ive heard concerning a 'virus'. Hopefully its not just people looking for excuses.

Cerrtainly wasn't leather poisoning.

Seriously though who wants to hear this rubbish.I hope it doesn't get out in the media that the poor old tigers had a virus.Makes us sound like limp wristed losers.

If true, that Miller played and then did indeed only give us a half of footy because he was still suffering effects of the virus then that is bullshit selection & planning Tigers... :thumbsdown:

I'll go with unsubstantiated rumour at this stage...

Was it a rare strain of the "gotaweekoffletsmakeittwo" virus? Or the even more severe "can'tbe****ed" flu.

Grigg had idonttackleitis
Farmer had blood tests confirming icantkickitis
Helbig had icanthandletheballproperlyitis

Agree with Rodney though, we sound like the whining Essendon supporters from last week with their pathetic excuses.

Hoping so mate, still not sure.

Maker's Mark pre-game festivities in mind?

I hope it Miller didn't spread it

if you have a virus you either don't play or you drug yourself up enough so you feel as though you've never been sick in your life

Players can't just do that like we can. Drug policy says that.

I only meant common cold/flu tablets but I guess they have sudofed or something in them anyway

Greggy · May 31, 2011

I watched the replay and Miller coming off, he sits on the bench and coughs his guts up. Not a good sign.

Bazzar · May 31, 2011

Also a rumour on 3AW Rumour File this morning that the Tiges had issues with their stops and Port had chosen to go longer and handled the condition better. (Bloke was apparently sitting next to someone from the Tiges on the flight back from Darwin)

ScallyWag1 · May 31, 2011

they went up to darwin too late, didn't take enough time to practice in the conditions. couldn't handle the slippery ball.

got exactly what they deserved unfortunately for us.

just spoke to someone who went up for the game and was in the same hotel with the richmond crew. said at no point did she hear any mention of a virus.

Could have been a computer virus and it stopped the players from reading the new game plan.

I was at the Holiday Inn as well. I took a panadol at about 1.30am Saturday morning as I was starting to feel poorly

.

As for the players, don't know.

But seriously, no mention of it pre game or post.

Jetlag? We did change timezones you know. And we had to fly further than Port. This explains everything.

And I think the busdriver may have swerved a bit on the way to the ground. Dizzy spells ensued

Roachy8 · May 31, 2011

I blame the pork rolls they had for lunch...
