And worse news for Cobra Kai FC in Supercoach.

Out of interest, do you play Joe Esposito's 'You're the best around' each week you win you SC game?

Or each week you fear hearing that Daniel Larusso Is going to fight?

Melbourne are cursed. Maybe we stole their luck?

Christian Petracca has done his ACL, terrible start to what would've been a promising AFL career. I hope the poor lads recovery goes well.

Terrible news

Christian Petracca's done his ACL and his 2015 is shot before it's begun. Poor kid. First he got drafted by Melbourne and now this.

Poor kid doing ACL is season ending, being drafted by Melbourne is career ending!

The curse of Norm Smith ... Their most successful coach ... sacked by the board in mid 60s, re-instated but left in '67 ... have won nothing since ... rarely a final appearance either.

Their last successful coach now has motor neuron disease, and the coach after him is deceased. Bizarre.

Kreuzer has gone down with another foot fracture. What a waste of superior talent he is turning out to be.

Injuries mounting as the season approaches, exactly what Burgo said would happen.

I just sweep the legs.

I just sweep the legs.

I have a problem with that.

 

[blaargh]

I wonder what sort of workload all clubs do with young players?

Port do 70% in year 1 ... up to 100% in year 3 under Burgo...I think?

fwiw I heard on SEN that it was an awkward landing in a marking contest. Just a shitty thing to happen.

When you don't have an ounce of respect for a team, its actually hard to call them by their real name.

Hopefully everyone will be referring to us by our real name soon: reigning premiers.....

Kreuzer was a dominant junior who seemed to have the skill and ability of a regular midfielder.

But it never really translated to AFL. Sure he's had his injuries, but even when fit, the most he's shown are glimpses.

The two next rucks drafted after him have both comfortably surpassed him (McEvoy and Lobbe).

Gary Lyons gifted us any remaining luck they had with his "no one wants to go to Port" comments,
But really bad luck for the lad, I hope he makes a full recovery.

Whenever I think of Kreuzer, I think of the multiple goals he kicked against us in their comeback win in the last quarter against us in the rain about 5 or 6 years ago

Similar to the Boston Red Sox - The Curse of the Bambino.

Cobra Kai cop unwarranted flak. Personally I want to see a lot of Mercy is for the weak from the coaches box this year when we're ahead.

2008. His first season. Won the match for them in that last quarter.

Jeez they'd kill for Sam Jacobs now the Blues

i remember i was sitting down the grandstand end, and the carlton supporters up in the stands every time the ball was kicked his way "KRUUUUUUUUUUU" and he would always mark it and kick the goal.

****s sake.

They'd kill for just about any talls. At this very moment in time, from the outside, their list isn't in great shape, not just in lack of quality talls but also in terms of age profile.

Interesting to see how they approach the next few draft and trade periods.

you'd assume it'd improve under Steven Silvagni, now he's back at the club

 

[Macca19]

They'll win the spoon this year.
