You could have quoted the BF Dees account, with an almost breaking story.

****. everyone get excited for Cloke vs. Gillies on QB

Dear God.

 

[Captain Jack]

Why are there so many quoted tweets there??? Odd.

The boards code detected the importance of chip

Dawes to Cloke?

Half serious.

Dawes to Cloke?

Half serious.

Then who do we kick to in our forward line? My guess is Sellar will come in for Frawley to cover Cloke. No, it won't be pretty, but there's not much else we can do.

FAAAAAAAAARKEEEEEEEN

******* I don't know Santa Claus lol.

Maybe Howe or watts.

It's being reported in the media!!! It's probably bull-s**t then. Are you sure it's not Barret and Caro being dogs or what not!

It's not great, but the timing is good. The bye, then two winnable games (even without Chip)

Melbourne round 11 injury list
Shannon Byrnes (wrist) – test
Tom McDonald (shoulder) – test
Jack Viney (toe) – 2 weeks
James Frawley (hamstring) – 4 weeks
Mitch Clark (foot) – 4-5 weeks
Jack Grimes (shoulder) – 4-5 weeks

Red = Top 22

Bugger. 5 missing, hope TMac is back in lieu of Frawley.

 

[ThePuppetMaster]

Byrnes is best 22, easily - the red are top dozen.

5 of our top dozen!

Send Pedo to Cloke.

Bring in TMac, shift Garland to the third tall.

Best possible solution!

Pedersen to Cloke????

Just put Sellar on him.

Pedersen to Cloke????

Just put Sellar on him.

Why? They're a very similar size and weight those two.

Surely we can't play both of them in defence.

But has Pedersen ever taken the best forward? Especially a 196cm, 110kg contested beast like Cloke?

 

[wowlace]

Pedo got smashed at the contested grabs on the weekend. He doesn't have very long arms. Couldn't reach for a spoil all day. Stellar would be ok, he seems a bit weak but has some lanky arms like Garland.

Garland maybe even. He was on point on Sunday.

****. everyone get excited for Cloke vs. Gillies on QB

Tom Gillies: Tom played his best game for some time. His speed was back to his pre-season form. Some of his spoils when out of position were very good.

Spin docs are already working.

Spin docs are already working.

God he's getting out-positioned in the vfl, Troy Davis would be better

 

[ThePuppetMaster]

Didn't Joel Macdonald play on Cloke pretty well under Bailey one year? Apparently he's a beast

 

[Captain Jack]

Surely Sellar plays on Cloke, ideally with Garland or Watts coming over the top as third man.

 

[Captain Jack]

It's not great, but the timing is good. The bye, then two winnable games (even without Chip)

That is a ludicrous suggestion. We are trash, we need all the help we can get in those 'winnable' games.

If anything, the reasoning would be that neither the Saints or Dogs have many good tall forwards so we can hopefully handle them without him, but bloody hell I'd rather he miss games where we are going to get demolished than ones where we may be a chance.

 

[ThePuppetMaster]

Imagine if we win two in a row after the bye!!! Woweeeeee

 

[wowlace]

McDonald to do number on Riewoldt again.

 

[wowlace]

Imagine if we win two in a row after the bye!!! Woweeeeee

Dreams can come true!
