[Ray Ball]

He said he should be. Will know by Wed/Thursday...

 

[warnie]

wow.. thats interesting.. there was another appendix out the other day and the dude played that week (who it was escapes me right now).. but its weird! i had a friend who was out of action for weeks when he had it out... he said something about being able to get it out of ur belly button now.. or something.. maybe he was just messing with my head?!

 

[San Miguel]

I saw the same interview. He talked about being bored sitting around the hospital. He looked pretty confident of being fit to play next week... although the decision won't be up to him regardless!

 

[tonemeister]

he already screwed my team...too late for me.

 

[blueboy13]

I hope he is in I just scrapped into the finals and I need him, already have Judd and Kerr. and my emergency is only clarke.

plz play jimmy ffs

 

[kingyubbo]

Why would they risk him going into finals? If he splits open and is unwell, it'll make things worse.

 

[Blacky]

Jimmy if you're reading you have to play, I need you to win!

Exactly, and they have to travel as well so why would the risk it. Didnt they give Chapman an extra week to recover because they already had top spot covered.

Wouldn't be surprised if he doesnt play and a couple of the cats under clouds also miss the game.

Would love to see Bartel and Jnr miss

I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place on the issue.
On one hand i would love for them both to miss because i wont brisbane to upset Geelong, so i can stick it to my mates who have been painful this year.

On the otherhand i have both Gablett and Jimmy in my team.

Really dont know which option i would rather.

 

[The Knowledge]

Think about what would give you more excitement... a Lions win or a supercoach win. Go the Lions

Yeah. Jimmy Bartel is in hospital reading the big footy "Bartel back this week?" thread. C'mon Jimmy. Give us the inside whisper!

I got rid of him last week. Couldn't stand the stress of a possible late ommission, even if he was named this week. Can't see the Cats risking him this week. Would be lunacy. I picked up Joel Corey, so he'll fare better with Bartel out there, but can't see it happening.... Unless Jnr misses too..... it IS nearly September.... is there a pigeon amongst the Cats already?!?!?!

Or is Mark Williams working some voodoo magic!

That was supposed to be tongue in cheek.
Corey didn't fare that well without Bartel on Sunday, maybe because he started getting some attention. Surely the cats don't want to go into the finals on a two game losing streak.

 

[Beau_Waters for PM]

Would love to see Bartel and Jnr miss

In the same boat. I missed out on Ablett, and traded out Jimmy last week.
Hope they both miss.

 

[footyfan_25]

Ch 10 just said Bartel was another week away.

Ling, Selwood and one other player a good chance to return.

 

[Tennant]

As much as I'd love Bartel to come back this week, there is no chance of that. Why would you risk him when you are going to finish on top.

10 News said he was another week out, which really isn't a suprise.

Crap

 

[D0nk]

Yep, Bomber said Selwood and Ling to return.
