The question is, how have Freo's stoppages been?

They lead the league in clearance differential.

 

[Arsene Wenger]

Sloane appendix issues like Betts. Being removed today in surgery. Surely wont play on Thurs next week. That's a blow for them

 

[afl2004]

He'll miss . They lose we win and he comes back for the showdown semi and gets 38 touches 2 goals 9 clearances and the crows win and for the rest of our lives we will hear about it

 

[Jonts]

You'd consider tagging Matt Crouch now wouldn't you?

The Club remains hopeful the midfielder will be available for next Thursday’s Qualifying Final against Greater Western Sydney at Adelaide Oval.

Nah, he's brave. We will listen to blow by blow updates week in week out about poor brave Rory. There will be a full double page spread of Eddie consoling him plus live crosses to his hospital bed.

I'd actually put Wingard on him

 

[Coobk001]

Personally don't think it will matter much. I expect the Crows to still win easily.

GWS are a bunch of individuals and no match for a great team like the crows.

How Leon Cameron got such an early contract extension is beyond me. They seem extremely poorly coached.

 

[Arsene Wenger]

He couldnt possibly play 9 days out from surgery.

I'd rather he'd be hard tagged out. Happy to wish suspensions on players, but never injuries.

 

[Power Girl]

Perhaps GWS wont be as polite as we were with Edward post surgery.

GWS are flaky against quality opposition away. I'd back us at home against them. Possibly only against Richmond, of finals sides, would I put them as favourites on the road.

If Rory plays I expect the umpires to actually shepherd his opponent out of the contest.

 

[manureid]

Have him and Eddie been rubbing appendix together?

 

[Boss351]

just a smokescreen to avoid the Sloane hard tag and make umpires aware to protect him

and Camry customers I'm of course joking and being facetious

weird 2 players in such a short time, training related?diet? supplements?....er not THOSE supplements

 

[StrappingTape]

Keyhole surgery on an appendix, I have no doubt he'll be right to go. Didn't Matt Thomas only miss a week?

The media will get as much pathos out of this as they can. Any excuse for a Crows story.

 

[StrappingTape]

Didn't betts only miss like 7 days?

Bad Apricot slice


shit sent some fruchocs to West Lakes for Rory's recovery, how will they know which one to give it to

Big Matty T what a guy

40 touches for 40 metres gained. I'd say let him get the ball.

I nearly choked on what I was eating when I read that, laughing so hard.....!

 

[PowerBaz]

How long did Betts have off?

 

[Schulzenfest]

I hear Shane Mumford has offered to save Rory's medical costs by tearing his appendix out personally.
