Poor Mitch. Brutal injury.

 

[Grave Danger]

Best mark ever...?

...nah, not even the best at North Melbourne

 

[Doctor Feel]

Taylah Walker is on crutches
#taliaisacheat iced up and probably gawnn
Cameron may be gawnn

Karma coming back to bite them...

Walker has been managing a foot complaint all year.
Cameron came back on and is fine.
Talia looked to be a bad cork.

 

[Magpiespower]

Tobias Jnr.

Special Bruce's ready made replacement can't wait to come off the bench...

 

[Visenfest]

Poor Mitch. Brutal injury.

Tibia and fibula both broken apparently. Poor guy. Redpath did his ACL too. Luke Beveridge looked completely deflated in his presser.

 

[Port01]

There's a lot of myths out there about depth.

I'm not really talking about depth though, more just the general flatness you see over a few weeks in seasons. I always look to our SANFL team if they play first and if they have a big game with plenty of spark and run then it makes me a lot more confident about the AFL side.

Nah, few little niggles.

Not sure is any opposition club board executive will come out with the ' bout time they got some injuries' troll in rooshitto fashion yet.

Very similar to what Demba Ba did.

He would have almost certainly dislocated his talus bone also, and torn some of the ligaments as well. Takes a very long time to get over.

Demba Ba's injury is more sickening to watch, but yep still grim viewing!

 

[manureid]

Redpath acl as well. Bad night for dogs.

 

[PAFC66]

Dont bet.

I didn't on this one. Just using my reverse psychology again.

 

[edgie]

Would there be any Achilles damage with Wallis as well? Was very low on the leg.

 

[elsler]

just watched it that was very nasty poor kid that would have hurt a lot

 

[Finest of Wines]

Just like us, when their SANFL team is struggling, the AFL side is struggling too. I think they went too hard early and have hit a flat patch but they can come back (like we did in '14).

Flat patch? They have won 8 of their past 9 matches, with the loss coming from Geelong at their home deck. I wouldn't mind having a 'flat patch' with that win/loss record

Yeah ours was an actual flat patch in 2014 losing to Essendon,Collingwood, ect

I think the AFL might be hoping for a Port win today. It would mean that 2 teams outside the 8 will have a realistic chance of playing finals with 5 games to go.

We have a handy % advantage over the Saints right now and that could be a deciding factor at the end of the minor round.

I felt the same thing last weekend.

The Firrito free kick.

I mean, carn.

Let's just get a win today first. Will be a hard slog with some luck required in this weather

A lot riding on this game. I'll be more nervous than usual.

 

[Chachi]

Redpath, Wallace and Murphy out for the season. That's too many good players to be a flag chance. Sad because I enjoy watching them.

So I reckon that leaves 6 in with a chance. I still include the Weagles, they've got the side to beat anyone if they can get their mojo going.

yeah that was pretty low of him, but typical.

 

[Enviable Tradition]

Knew as soon as a coach dropped players back instead of trying to pressure Adelaide's shit midfield that they would prove how shit their disposal is.

Agreed.

Their slingshot is being undone exactly the same way that or was.

Just play one or two sweepers and slow them down and make them find targets in traffic.

The bit I dont get is why it took teams so long to work it out

I think last night was exactly why they won't win the premiership. They've got a number of stars who don't perform in big games, Betts in particular has a record of going missing in big games, and without him - they won't win.

This is good to hear
