Preview Changes & Pre-match Discussion vs. Sydney Swans (Round 10, Fri 24/05 7:50pm)

[Dead Eye Didak]

So Franklin trained today, l guess this means he will play Friday.

 

[Sea fog]

Who do we liine up against him?

 

[Yidaki]

Tom Browne Ch 7 News reporting De Goey pulling up sore after training and unlikely and Langdon possible bone on bone with cartilage problem and probable out for rest of season. The bye cannot come quick enough. In-Goldsack, Daicos Out-Langdon (Inj) Varcoe (Suspended). Still trying to work out why Goldsack has been playing up forward in VFL when he is the logical choice to cover backline injuries. Tom Browne Twitter Account has his News Segment listed for viewing.

So Buckley was full of s**t today then when he said De Goey is good to go?

 

[unplugged]

Why would we take one of our most consistent forwards and put him back? Add to that the fact that he hasn't played in defense for a long time. If anything, Reid should go back

I literally just told you why. If he started to get away from us.

 

[Yidaki]

I literally just told you why. If he started to get away from us.

Yeah I got that point. But why would we use him specifically? Why not Reid?

I will believe it when l see it....

Of course he returns against us.

 

[Dead Eye Didak]

You would think Buddy will play, he did kick 6 last year, after Moore broke down, and they still only beat us on the last kick of the game, a lucky dribble kick from McCartin.
Can't believe the injury curse has hit us hard again, so it's going to be a tough assignment on Friday.

 

[Dead Eye Didak]

Considering our injuries now, particularly to our defensive stocks, surely we take a ready made, mature defender in the mid season draft!

 

[Dead Eye Didak]

Of course he returns against us.

He probably could have played against the Roos, but he probably told horse to "save me for the Pies..!!"
He has a good record against us, we seem to be the side he kicks his bags against!

C'mon mate....who would know more about our players? Bucks or Tom Browne? Toms got a 100% record hasn't he?

 

[Yidaki]

Never said he has. I'm just putting the question out there.

 

[Dead Eye Didak]

P.S l am sick of our injuries. Year after Year, it doesn't rain, it pours with us. Adams, DeGoey, Moore, Langdon, Elliott, Cox, Dunn etc etc.....Can we have just one season, when we have minimal injuries!!!

 

[Robroy22]

I know you were Yids, sorry mate I shoulda added a ....Tom Browne's just fishin.

Two of these "injuries" are blokes being rested mate....don't give up your chips just yet!

 

[Copeland]

How is a 180cm fledgling defender such an obvious replacement for the 190cm Langdon?

Depends on matchups of course

 

[Sea fog]

Who is being rested? Are Swans that bad we have that luxury?

 

[Dead Eye Didak]

That's what we said last week about Moore and DeGoey. Both look to again miss on Friday, so l think the "rest" suggestion is code for "they are injured, but we don't want to say too much about the injury"

 

[JOELY]

Won't be much there. mate. Even if there was an potential AFL standard option we'd probably miss them being so far down the order. Don't think we'll make a selection.

 

[Finnishpie]

Probably crazy but as Varcoe and Langdon definite outs seems to me need send one of Mihicek or Reid down back if Buddy back. If not then lets get Isaac Q in

buddy too fast for reid -- unless we want another soft tissue...

Im sure alot of AFL clubs were thinking the same about Mihocek, that he didn't have the goods for AFL footy.

s******t!!!!!

Langdon a massive loss. And that sounds degenerative.

 

[Dead Eye Didak]

I thought we would easily win this match, now it looks like a tough assignment to not only win, but to find a backline to string together!!

 

[Pragmatic Shill]

So Buckley was full of **** today then when he said De Goey is good to go?

De Goey reported soreness in the afternoon. After he completed training and after the press conference. So no, Bucks was not full of it.

Ok. That makes sense.

*. Looks like he won't play then.
