Thankfully? Are you ever not an ass

He's just trying to communicate that he is grateful he will be able to watch him live almost every week.

Crowley has always been one of the most dedicated footballers. I also believe he feels he owns the team and would be at his fittest at this point. I doubt he'll play AFL again but not through lack of preparedness.

Just before his hearing wasn't he injured?

I believe the word you're looking for is 'preparation.'

Looks like I was guilty of trying to make myself sound smarter by using the longer option, you got me. You've not actually covered yourself in glory because I think you will find both words work as I intended. English is amazing like that.

Good to see you haven't changed. Check yourself before I wreck yourself.

I just can't use the reply or edit button is all.

Douche!

I mean touche. Wish I knew how to edit.

I think Ballard, Grey and one of either Hughes or Vandaleur will debut (as a replacement for Sutcliffe and Ibbo both being rested).

Out: Sandi, Mundy, McPharlin, Hill, Mayne, Sutcliffe, Ibbotson
In: Clarke, Ballard, Pearce, Crozier, Grey, Taberner, Hughes

The only LTIs I can think of are Apeness and Mora so I would assume we could get a maximum of 2 (unless we can get one for Sylvia)

There can be no further rookie upgrades this season.

Edit: My bad. Apeness and De Luca are LTI listed and can be replaced by two players from the rookie list.

 

[Boogers]

It was just said on SEN (radio) that Freo have asked to rest 11 players for this week.
Does anyone have a link?

 

[go_the_dockers]

Sandilands, Pavlich, McPharlin, Ibbotson, D Pearce, Hill, Mayne, Mundy, Sutcliffe, Barlow, Spurr - This is my guess

“At this stage our initial assessment is that up to 11 of the players who played in round 22 may not be selected for our round 23 fixture."

Preparedness is a perfectly cromulent word.

It seems crazy they didn't upgrade any one for Mora and Apeness then?

Thanks. On their website. What a coincidence. sorry

We upgraded Tanner Smith for Morabito.

We transferred Apeness and Deluca onto the LTI list a few weeks ago, there's nothing here that says you can't upgrade rookies, only that you can't put a player on the long term injury list after that time which is required to upgrade rookies. Smith is already upgraded for Morabito so you'd think it'd be between Ballard, Hughes and Moller for the last two spots if required.

 

[Mr Fonebone]

11 players rested - lets see

Out: Pav, Hill, Sandi, Mundy, Neale, Spurr, Ibbo, Sutcliffe, Johnno, Luke, Mayne
In: Tabs, Crozier, Clarke, Duffy, Weller, Pearce A, Smith, Grey, Ballard, Hughes, Blakely ( if fit otherwise Hannath )

Grey-Dawson-A Pearce
Duffield-Smith-Pearce C
Weller-DeBoer-Sheridan
Crozier-Tabs-Duffy
Langdon-Clarke-Mzungu

Griffen-Barlow-Ballard

Hughes - Suban - Blakley
Sub D Pearce

I am actually looking for to this game to see how close we get to Port.

Anything less than 75 points would be a win I reckon.

 

[stormee]

Does Johnno really need a rest right now?

 

[FreoGirl]

why do people keep forgetting Clarke is suspended?

 

[Lach72]

why do people keep forgetting Clarke is suspended?

He's not. He got a week

 

[salim malik]

why do people keep forgetting Clarke is suspended?

He only missed a week ,back for round 23

 

[malpaso]

He was only suspended 1 game which was this past weekend ?

 

[FreoGirl]

[leeloo]

AFL seems ok with it.

 

[332docker]

why do people keep forgetting Clarke is suspended?

Because he's not, he got one game and missed last week(had a concussion so prob wouldn't have played anyway)
