Rumour Gastro

[fargothegreat]

Does anyone in the know know if the rumours about a few other players (apart from Astbury) suffering from a stomach bug last week are true?

Gil infected the whole team to try even up the comp imo

Astbury was in hospital during last week should never had played either.

This is what I imagine, if Astbury had it, then others would have too even if sub-clinical

We could use that as an excuse but i'm not buying it, we played with same attitude as the Port Adelaide elimination final 5 years ago. We thought to ourselves how good are we, yep got this one won no problem.

Even if it was true, Pies played a ripping game and probably would've won regardless.

Credit where it's due, they were on.

nope we wouldve belted em imo

it was clear that half or more of the boys had the bug. we had zero energy

I agree with all that but how matching their intensity and making it a ripper game instead just giving up in the first half?

has anyone ever had gastro ? u cant even make yourself a cuppa let alone play sports

It was prima donna attitude not the energy we had two weeks off to get over any ailments.

rubbish mate. boys werent well

 

[juss]

It's possible that a few guys weren't at their best and it contributed to the loss.
It's also possible that even if fully fit Pies would have won regardless because they were really good on the night.

We will never know either way so no point speculating.

We agree to disagree, only two were not right dusty and astbury, the rest were still in holiday mode.

lol, as if arseberry didnt get anyone at the club sick

it was a virus in the 2017 saints game and it was a virus last friday night

Yeah, but an AFL footballer getting 'special' medical treatment by being admitted / getting treatment in hospital when the average Joe would just stay at home and have a sickie (at worst) doesn't really paint the full picture. Maybe Astbury was very very unwell, but maybe he was just a bit unwell and being an AFL player has advantages when it comes to healthcare.. Saying that, Richmond did look super super flat. Collingwood I thought were brilliant, but if it came out that 3-5 Richmond players were unwell I would not be surprised.

Didn't see any players running to the can at training or during the game to have a shit every five minutes because that's what it makes you do I've had it many times.

cork up the shit hole

Using gastro as an excuse is exactly what Collingwood supporters would do. Accept that they smashed us on the night and move on.

 

[Sir_Loin]

Definitely had it and couldn’t make it to the game. It’s why we lost. Had I been there in full health we would have won.

Sorry team

The 2nd half makes me doubt it. We played reasonably well.
Also wasn’t Cotch the other one rumoured to have it? He was one of our best , so it can’t have been that bad. We just got caught napping and Collingwood made us pay.

someone on pre said more than a few boys had it
