Changes v Pies

[Square Peg]

Whilst the "outrage" surrounding the Eddie comments on Caro is a load of nonsense IMO, I assume we still won't risk the chance of having fun with the banner this week? Imagine a few references to Collingwood, ice cold and waterboarding. Only happening in the secret Friday man cave with all my neanderthal buddies, I guess.

I'll see what I can do...

What's the latest on Pendles? Likely to play?

 

[CakeEater]

Should be a cracker. Looking fwd to going to this one.

After Eddie's big freeze
Downing the pies will be a breeze?

Beating Collingwood, Eddie's Ice Jokes
Only one of these is nice, folks

Going to literally be big freeze at the G

Being a young kid, is 5 days enough of a turn around for Langdon to seriously be considered? I would assume that as players have done that for ANZAC day games, Queens birthday games etc it would be ok but with our injury list I just feel the match committee would be a bit more cautious than usual. I'd love to go smaller this game. Shame for Smiths injury, really thought he'd get a decent go of it. Tucker, Weller, Blakely, all need to play on the G to get a feel for it and against a strong crowd will do them a world of good too.

In: Langdon
Out: Smith (inj).

As for banner suggestions:

We'll heave-ho and beat the pies
Then we'll make Eddie really apologise!

90% chance of rain

Low scoring slog

 

[DeanS]

Keep the banner simple -

EDDIE IS A F**KWIT.

Says it all really.

 

[heavho]

When does the team fly out ? Will be interesting to see if Hannath and Langdon are packing for the trip east

 

[Okinakashi]

RTB interview on AFL.com

Smith out - Hannath in.

Emergencies - Langdon, C Pearce and Ibbo will travel.

 

[doberman]

Langdon to be late in for Hannath. Bookmark it.

Hope you're right - when was the last name we made a non-injury late change?

 

[Confucius]

Hope you're right - when was the last name we made a non-injury late change?

Dunno, but I'd bet it was raining.

 

[StingBitten]

So with Mzungu injured the injury list rises to 18 - with 22 on the field and 3 emergencies that leaves...2 people in reserve.

Wow - just wow.

Hannath + rain = are we tanking again?

Oi!

We have had injury lists like this before in 98 and 11 iirc but that was at the end of the season, not halfway through it..

 

[Grape Bear]

Oi!

Don't get me wrong, I like Hannath. I just don't think he's the ideal person to bring into the team playing at MCG and the rain - in both situations, we need run and not height.

 

[youmewe]

Talk about a team which picks itself.

The 25 man squad this week will literally contain every player we have available.

Bar Yarran who's way underdone and Hurley and Deluca (both rookies coming off injuries).

Ross was quoted as being flexible to change the team at the last minute, but was keen on playing 2 rucks.

In the wet. On a ground which requires more spread due to width.

He's taking the piss or we really want that top 5 pick.
