, Josh Rachelle. Good dudes.

So Rozee is playing.... Far out.

He trained the full session yesterday at max speed and intensity. Why would he not play?

FCUKIN PUMPED ITS MERKIN CHEESE SELECTION DAY

 

[Coobk001]

when was that confirmed?

It may have slipped under the radar but it is worthy of noting; the Prison Bars are going to be featured on one occasion every single AFL season from here on out, namely the home Showdown. Very slowly the walls of resistance will crumble. Keep the faith. (see last 30 seconds of video)

 

[Coobk001]

It feels incredibly risky. Can't imagine there is one person hearing that and not thinking it seems ludicrous.

Lets hope they've made the right decision and we aren't regretting it for the next few weeks.

I'll be amazed if he doesn't pull out late.

 

[Chrizzt]

I'll be amazed if he doesn't pull out late.

Bit like his approach to contests when the heat is applied by a top 4 side?

 

[Lefti93]

With our tradition so ****en strong doo doo dooroo

THE ANGLE PARK CROWD PORDADELAY PROUUUUUD

 

[Poo Eckert]

Maybe it’s wasn’t a hammy after all?

THE ANGLE PARK CROWD PORDADELAY PROUUUUUD

What??

 

[JimmyBC]

Wish Ken's Dad had pulled out late.

 

[Spadge]

Wish Ken's Dad had pulled out late.

No.. thats probably why we have Ken. We needed the old bastard to pull out earlier

Cos his ultrasound proved there is a tear, no matter how minor it is.

if you even remotely trust what the club prints

 

[TeeKray]

Evans is in the photos from the Captain's Run on the club website so thinking it could be him and not the great man replacing SPP.

Have no fear we'll need the great man for the Geelong clash.

 

[Windy Cindy]

He is easy to hate on - I've done it plenty myself, as have most of his own supporters - but Rachel is exactly the type of player missing from our forward line...

What a bloke who can’t win his own footy, or avoids contact or is a complete flog.. no thanks we don’t need one of him.

Emergencies also train.

 

[Ljc_86]

Was thinking about this game and how we would lose it. Would it be a close one or a thrashing. Then stopped and realised I’ve been hinkleyed. I’m scared of showdowns now and convinced we don’t turn up in big games!

 

[Rash]

He trained the full session yesterday at max speed and intensity. Why would he not play?

difference betwen being able to do it for a short period of time (At training and during a fitness test), and being able to do it for 120 minutes on game day.

It’s a massive risk.

He did it jumping up awkwardly so it could be re-injured any way.

Maybe they play him forward.

yep massive risk, kock on wood he doesnt damage it again, im curious if that is the hammy he hurt in pre-season.

Ken will make him our number 1 mid in terms of mid time over jhf and butters, even with him being 70% fit.
