Meh.

The Tom Browne account saying that he's not playing is fake.

Can people just use the report button on any post with these fake "X" Accounts .....I really don't want them infecting threads

you don't need to change everything because of one gullible idiot

Disclaimer: NFI if this is accurate. Would not surprise me though.

Would tend to think this is a fake report, or fake account, but at least with this being the first game of the round, it doesn't impact regardless.

The twitter account only has about 20 followers.

People change their trading plans not realising it's a fake acc .......prefer to keep them off the board

To be fair, nobody posted it, but I knew where the rumour was coming from. Will do, though.

Hadn't seen this one, but he was the same genius that said Butters would be sub last week IIRC.

No that was the fake tom brown account.

Edit: Wouldn't surprise me if they were actually the same person.

Nah, he did too. Deleted the tweet though so you can only see this now:

Been considering the same.

With the crapshoot of the forward line though, I reckon anything 90+ is acceptable as a premo forward.

So far, Powell is averaging 87 with 4 scores (out of 7) of 90+. (95, 129, 92, 73, 98, 73, 49)

Prior to last week, he was still averaging 93. Then last week he only got 14% of CBA's (moved to half forward) and scored terribly. All other weeks his CBA attendance has been fine.

Phillips has come in and gotten some of his time and Simpkin has been used more (after starting at half forward) the last 2 weeks. On the weekend, Paul Curtis got 26% (basically his first for the year) and I thought he looked decent/added something different in there.

There's been some mention of Phillips losing his spot (and Simpkin carrying an injury)? Do you know if either of these are true? I think if one or both of those guys are dropped, I'll hold with the expectation of a return to normal mid time (and ok scoring for a forward) but if both are named, then I'll upgrade to mid premo as the risk of terrible half forward scores (with a B/E of 115) is too great.

Thoughts?

Simpkin and Curtis have been used as bigger bodies to block for ldu. It worked to an extent as ldu had a better game.
Not sure if it continues but my bet is it will.
Phillips should be dropped but clarko likes to give guys a month in the firsts to get a decent form line
Wait for teams

LOL - at 7:12pm after subs have been announced

 

[Bollox]

Been assuming all week that GC will rest at least one of Clohesy/Graham.
Hopefully they arnt both listed on the bench or 1 omitted.

 

[Maybe Tomorrow]

 

[stevebbb]

Hope Massimo returns. Reckon he's got more 80s and 90s in him.

 

[Kadog]

Forget all these pretend ITK trolls. I have it on good authority that teams will be confirmed at 6:25pm tonight.
