[kanga kanga kanga]

if he plays well i reckon we could win this by a fair bit

 

[Horizons_00]

He has played with injuries. Parker played with broken ribs, Cam played with injured foot just recently. They been cleared to play.

Shinboner shit

[Ether]

Tough as nails

Club doc: Charlie, you've got a broken shoulder blade. Not sure you should play.
Charlie: You call that broken? / That's the 24th worst break I've had.

I'm honoured to have met expectation

Chom in Ziebell levels of respect playing with a cracked shoulder

Heart of a lion, but the club has done him a massive disservice by allowing him to play today if we're being realistic.

 

[Flawed Genius]

Shouldn't have played. Glad he did. Warrior

 

[Chadwiko]

Clearly wore the long-sleeves today to hide some THICK strapping/padding on his shoulder.

Wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't play next week.

 

[Possession]

Shouldn't have played. Glad he did. Warrior

Shows how much the club rates K. Dawson lol. We genuinely probably lose today if he played over a one-armed Chom.

 

[muttley45]

No doubt Charlie's shoulder was targetted more than once today, but he appeared to survive, recover well Chom

 

[Dinkers]

Shouldn't have played tbh, not sure what we were thinking.

 

[Joshen]

I'd be tempted to wrap him in cotton wool for the rest of the season. We're not making finals this year but we might / should the next. Get him cherry ripe for pre-season.

Let him rest next week instead of schlepping down to Tassie where the extended BOM forecast says it'll be very very cold.

See how he looks after that for the Bulldogs 100th celebration game.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Carries his balls in a wheelbarrow.

His kicking action resembled a 3 y/o blind kid at times today.

Bollocks to that. We have a few more winnable games, and he'll be bloody playing in them

 

[roos_fanatic08]

I was cringing in the last quarter when he took those couple of hits.

Hell of an effort, but with his injury history it just wasn’t worth risking further damage imo.

 

[gokangas]

Gutsy effort today - the deliberate targeting by Carlton was soobviaous but I suppose you play you set yourself up as a target. Good effort by Chom.
