Maybe Bucks needs to be told that the current situation calls for a really futile and stupid gesture on somebody’s part.

Story sounds legit to me, given he doesn't do every session. Last week didn't do the captains run or very much of the main session. He seems to miss a session at least once a week.

That also suggests it’s part of his normal routine...to manage his problematic body.

 

[Leviathan Pie]

We generally hear about debut’s reasonably early with them being announced to the playing group on field after training on Wednesday’s

It was essentially public knowledge on Monday.

To be fair Collingwood is trying to work out with the AFL if Sier is able to play so they may not actually know the side yet

If you had invited me to a PowerPoint presentation on the Madge.. not only would I have asked for a prawn sandwich and a glass of wine before you started your presentation.. I would have charged you a gorilla for inviting me.. and then I would have left 30 secs in.. charged you for travel expenses.. opened your bar room cabinet.. and taken your best bottle of vino re.. and just left.

Nice try re..

So much better not to invite you and just have you endure it on-line. Be a shame to waste my good vino.

Are they flying out today or tomorrow morning? Surely Jen2310 will be at the airport to see who's flying

Could probably stand right next to Tom Browne.

That was my initial assessment too.

Heh.

Tomorrow morning. I heard.

I said last year we should have used the opportunities with our heavy schedule to rest players for the west coast and Melbourne games to preempt fatigue and injury. Both games were disastrous, and our injury toll mounted. We don’t have the same reasoning this year, but we do know that players like Moore and Elliot are injury prone...rest them before it’s too late.

We’re only 4 rounds into the season, bit early for resting players. If he’s for to play, he plays.

It’s never too early if they are showing signs of fatigue and injury. Some players are managed throughout their careers. Heath Shaw was one. I’d rather Moore play 18 games with breaks than the first 5 and be injured for the rest of the season...

We don’t know how serious it is.
Leave it to the doctor to decide.

Speaking from experience, achilles tendonitis doesn't go away very easily and can flare up at any time. This will be a delicate situation, especially considering how valuable he is in the present side but also more importantly in the long-term to the football club.

Totally agree. I’ll leave it to Moore and the medical team to decide when the time is right.

We leave team selection up to selection committee and coach, but that doesn't stop us commenting on it prior to team announcement. Similarly, now that we know that Moore is going to be carrying an Achilles problem all year, we are probably entitled to comment on his situation too.

Comment on it all you like. Just pointing out that Moore is the best judge of how sore his foot is.

Anyone else think we can win this game?

Eagles coming off an embarrassing loss when they had the game as good as won and back at home after last year's elimination final loss, I'd dare say they will be pretty red hot to try and win this one.

I honestly think anything less than an 8 goal loss is a bonus.

Eagles are shaky. If we can play with intensity and take some risks, I reckon we are a chance.

Assuming Macree

I hope you are right

 

[gouki88]

Given I gave us no shot in the final last year against this same Eagles team, anything is possible. They're missing quite a few players, and have others (Kelly and Gaff) who can go missing when the going gets tough

Greenwood to tag Kelly.

 

[mike123]

I think we have absolutely no chance and I tipped, so naturally I expect us to win.

 

[Kappa]

Greenwood to tag Kelly.

Greenwood is past it Jmac, we already have more than enough old players who struggle.

I agree he will probably play most of the year in the VFL. This will be a bespoke task and if done well, could lead to a win.
