Prediction changes v Sydney

[Kram]

Anyone think there's any truth to the murmurs on 6pr regarding mcpharlin?

Wot murmurs?

 

[Agenfrida]

What are the rumors?

I'm guessing it's that Luke will miss. I hope to god it's a furphy.

 

[Righteo]

Alex Pearce to make his debut playing on Buddy Franklin? Don't let Simmo see this

 

[pavsbootlace]

Anyone think there's any truth to the murmurs on 6pr regarding mcpharlin?

NO

sos and Alex Pearce both named emergency too

SOS is not an emergency. Emergencies are A pearce, Hannath and Sheridan. If McPharlin was in doubt, Silvagni would be an emergency.

 

[Freo88]

Wot murmurs?

Yeah that he'll miss.

Could just be some nuffy caller

 

[Freo88]

NO

Tell us what you really think...

 

[pavsbootlace]

Tell us what you really think...

I really think there's some very wacky people that call 6PR to say some very silly things.

 

[Simmofreo]

Yeah that he'll miss.

He was in full match sims in the training thread

Is that the same caller that said Josh Kennedy wouldn't play for the Eagles against Carlton

 

[Big Animal]

What are the rumors?

That he's also an elite musician

 

[theGav56]

Last week we were hearing murmurs that Fyfe, Johnson and Clarke were in doubt. They played very well. This week MacPharlin and Walters are likely to miss. Buddy should be nervous, and Walters is going to kick a bag.

 

[Ragtooth]

the Fyfe, Johnson murmurs last week was based on the fact they had to do a fitness test on the Friday and was looking 'proppy'. Walters gossip this week based on Walters also needing a fitness test (Ross has said he'll play, doubt anything happened from then and now). The murmurs on Macca though is unusual, doubt there is anything in it....but teams do make late changes....for example Robbie Gray has withdrawn from Port Adelaide's side.

 

[Sweetback]

And arguably, Fyfe didn't play as well last week as he had the previous two weeks.

 

[Ragtooth]

yeah, he didn't get 30+ touches and goal of the week

 

[pavsbootlace]

And arguably, Fyfe didn't play as well last week as he had the previous two weeks.

Fyfe apparently said to Mick Barlow after the game something like "I'll cop the tag boys, and you get the job done".* Which may explain why he was a bit quieter.

We are definitely getting to the point where we have too many stars that need to be covered by opposition. I wonder who will get off the chain this week?




*Not an exact quote

 

[ozzie69]

Suban still in

Suban was actually quite good against the Weags last week. Bigger body may be of use against Sydney, also.

 

[pavsbootlace]

yeah, he didn't get 30+ touches and goal of the week

Yeah, only 31 touches, 10 clearances, 16 contested possessions and 3 AFLCA votes. Will need to lift his game this week.

 

[AAACockburn]

Yeah, only 31 touches, 10 clearances, 16 contested possessions and 3 AFLCA votes. Will need to lift his game this week.

They are mediocre stats against witches hats though.

Why is Pearce an emergency?
Just to play Devils advocate.

Surely you would pick a non-KPP especially for a game in Perth unless potential KPD to miss?

Reward for effort.

That was Tim Gossage.

you have 3 emergencies available, ideally you would pick 1 KPD, 1 Mid and a Ruck/Fwd

 

[jedi mind tricks]

I was one who said that Fyfe n Johno were doing a fitness test. Maybe Due To West Coast spies they were putting in some doubts.

 

[jedi mind tricks]

Kennedy may not be mentally prepared for the game with the birth of his child. Baby brain is a real thing. Plus lack of sleep. Fingers crossed.

 

[samFFC]

I agree. But often doesn't happen. Hope that's the case!

Reward for effort.

Fair.
