Game Day Round 8 vs. Carlton, MCG, 7:40pm Fri 03/05

[FromTheBoundaryLine]

Congratulations Lachie! First time I’ve watched him last week and he looked good in the second half particularly. Good hands at ground level one area we’ve been down in. Go well! Go Pies!

 

[Big Bryza]

Before we melt that Fin’s out, we could have named Sullivan for a variety of reasons.

1) To see what he has to offer as we make list calls.

2) He has performed his role better.

3) His role matches that of Mitchell more closely (it does)

And before we give up on Fin, he’s contracted until the end of next year and still hasn’t played that many games.

100% this. Then we will reshuffle the roles of Naicos, Crisp etc to accomodate the loss of JDG. Leggy can come in and give us some run off HB.

Good for you. I have had no such vibe, nothing one way or the other. Doesn't mean that your vibe is incorrect, just that I have not experienced it.

Heroin blues?

 

[Magnanimous]

Oh Boy, I can sense a huge upset coming up. I have a feeling we are going to produce one of the greatest wins in H&A history. A monumental performance is coming and will be the start of our run to the flag. Geez, I'm pumped

I am pumped also after reading this, bring it Pies!

[Big Bryza]

Sidebottom running the correct patterns according to fly, has his routes like an NFL wide receiver not his fault the QB didnt throw him the ball

People forget that with the wing role you are at the mercy of whether the ball is played through your side of the ground or not. In the first half on Anzac Day, the ball barely went out to Steele's side of the ground. Is it an excuse for his poor game? No, but it's a reason as to why he was invisible before half time.

Write off a champion at your own peril.

Reckon Oleg could probably do a role on Acres if needed too.

 

[manicpie]

I don't. But feel free to remind me of my pessimism and lack of blind faith (great 70s band) in the unlikely event that we win.

Is that a Recusant vibe I sense there Mr. G

 

[IlovethePies]

Not sure why so many are assuming that we have selected Sully over Fin?? We just announced Sully because he is debuting. I think Fin will start and Sully on the bench mainly because Fin is bigger physically, and he will be confronting the monstrous Cripps. However, it could also be that Sully is in the 22 and Fin is the sub.
But I don't think we should think it cruel or unjust if we do decide to debut Sully as the sub. It is always what is best for the team, and subs play a huge role as well.

DE GOEY out, reports CH 9.
Reason? “Tight groins”

 

[TheGreatGrundy]

Heroin blues?

The heroin blues will come during or after the game when I am hanging over the bowl spewing my guts out. Unless of course, I have been ripped off and sold the most expensive washing powder known to man, in which case I'll be on a stretcher heading to a hospital ward somewhere. Either way, the game will be but a blur. Shame we couldn't slip some substance or another into the Carlton team's water bottles.

 

[PIEWITHSAUCE]

I heard he will be arrive at the G anytime between 8 and 4.

a bit like Axl for a gig

Recusant? Had to google that one and still not sure if it is or not!

It's my new word for the day. It feels like you just can't bring yourself to see a possible victory. The task looks daunting but it very attainable

The great grundy..... 5 minutes after the pies beat the blues..... by 1 point (after trailing by 40 in the first quarter)

One letter too short for wordle!

As Lachie Sullivan was a sparky, I wonder if paying him in cash would achieve the best outcome.

Jumping Jeremy Howe was an electrician too, along with yours truly. I had a client say "I call you sparkies 'pineapple farmers'... because every time you're around all I seem to be doing is handing out pineapples".
("Pineapple" being a slang term for a $50 note for those unaware).

So long as Sullivan has a dare iced coffee with a pie and cigarette for his pre-game meal, I daresay he'll play a blinder.

Just don't expect him to clean up.

Any news on Cerra?

Blues board seem to think he’ll play FWIW

He looks clean. I hope he plays well and then goes on to play 100 games and then have a champion son.

So is it basically HH or Fin for the 23rd player given Sullivan and Markov coming in?

Seems like it.

 

[Big Bryza]

Didn't he push his way out?

Also, not too sure he's the answer.

He got told he'd play the same role this year. Half forward and rotating on ball. He cracked the sh1ts and left the building.

 

[Big Bryza]

Reckon Oleg could probably do a role on Acres if needed too.

We play system rather than tagging players. Acres will play wing so most likely against Jaics, Lippa, Sidey etc.
