2016 Non-Crows AFL Discussion - Cont. in Part 2 (link in OP)

[WaynesWorld19]

Tonight couldn't have gone any better. Made $850 and Hawks lost and both teams possibly weakened for the finals!

What were the odds?

Mitch got the looks

With eyebrows that can cut diamonds

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

No way NicNat is playing next week, knee strapped and on crutches. With the bye the following week, they aint risking him.

Given he gets a 2 week break before the finals, can't see them risking him. Hopefully ok for finals.

So the lesson I take from this is when taking on hawthorn you have to keep your foot on their throat until they die.

It's amazing how they come back to earth when you maintain pressure on the ball carrier and stop all the cheap and easy possies they get.

What were the odds?

West Coast 1-39 $2.35 , so around that mark

Really feel for Nic Nat, a likeable bloke with immense talent. Hope it's not an ACL but it doesn't look good.

Exactly. Really feel for him - probably season-ending. Doubt he'll play again this year.

Ports starting 22 just changed nappies.

The prize is to big to go easy on them.

Isn't it just to help with the swelling so they can get a clearer picture when they do the scan?

I've done 4. And one full ankle reco. The ankle blew up like a mofo and was still puffy 5 years later. My partner's the same.

Knees. 20 mins of ice. No swelling. Complete opposite reaction. Weird.

Jono brown on fox footy said the docs were doing a cartilage test on nic nat, (he's had the test done before), 2-4 week injury if that's what NicNats done.

 

[johnnypanther]

Trolling injuries is not cool guys.

I reckon it's pretty hot if the injuries aren't to our team - and more so at finals time.

 

[Roo Lives Again]

Not wanting to do everything possible to assist with an injury.

Ice on the ACL won't repair it, but it will reduce the chance of surgery complications and other issues in the knee

Standard practice to ice it I'm pretty sure

Love Nic Nat .....could watch him every week

whats better for them?

An away final with a fit Nic Nat?

Or a home final with no Nic Nat?

So he'll be ready for week 1 of the finals if he's lucky I guess.

What the hell.do you do to do 4 knees? Ive never had an injury in my life.

 

[Red mist]

Neroli giving fantastic updates.

Strategy No 1 next week:

"Brad, every stoppage you are next to that blonde curly haired bloke…you must defeat him"

Strategy 1? Lets do what we did last year to them at the AO... 50 to 7 at QT and ice the game.

 

[SmegHead]

Why would they. Hawks stay top and west coast stay 5th tonight. Nothing changes tonight.

The ladder starts to change when we play and the swans play.

Hasnt stopped them before, they had the ladder up during the 1st quarter of the Port-North game a few weeks back.
