[ablettjnr]

Been talking to him??

My brother was at uni today.

 

[Sammy D]

My brother was at uni today.

Surprised he managed to say anything more than:

"Me Mark Blake. Me tall"

Sammy D, thats being stored into the memory bank for later reference.. that is king

 

[ablettjnr]

"Me Mark Blake. Me tall"

Well, that's not far off. He and my brother failed first year Eco together last year.

Rooke is a smart cookie though.

 

[jess_555]

Well it's not like football players have to be heaps smart anyway. LOL They just need to know how to kick and mark and MAKE GOOD DECISIONS!!!

 

[Sammy D]

Rooke is a smart cookie though.

That's my boy

 

[carn_the_cattas]

Apparantly Gardiners doing a law degree. He must be smart.....or a try hard..

 

[carn_the_cattas]

N.Ablett won't play...I don't think. I didn't see him at training.
Ottens did some stuff early then headed off about half way through. Not sure if he'll play or not.
Corey has shaved off the beard again.

 

[finrod]

Corey has shaved off the beard again.

bah

 

[Shell]

Have heard on SEN this arvo that Gaz might be a late withdrawal..

 

[LongBomb]

Ottens is not looking like a starter either.

 

[Shell]

Ottens is not looking like a starter either.

No surprise there!

 

[carn_the_cattas]

Have heard on SEN this arvo that Gaz might be a late withdrawal..

He trained fine today, I don't see why he shouldn't play...although he did miss a few shots few goal...nah...my bet is he'll play.

 

[Shell]

He trained fine today, I don't see why he shouldn't play...although he did miss a few shots few goal...nah...my bet is he'll play.

Cool, thanks for that! I can't really recall why he would be withdrawn, but yeah it was reported on SEN this arvo, in between all the Commonwealth Games crap-ola being talked about!!

(is it just me or is this the quietest eva build up to a GF? Hopefully if we should lose no one will even notice! )

 

[Sammy D]

He trained fine today, I don't see why he shouldn't play...although he did miss a few shots few goal...nah...my bet is he'll play.

He was complaining to the trainer in the 3rd quarter against Freo about a niggle.

 

[jess_555]

Are you sure about that Shell... coz maybe you got mixed up with Nath coz he seems to be in a lot of doubt. Just read an article that say:

Ablett, who injured his ankle during last week' semi-final win against Fremantle, did not train at all on Friday and appears certain to join injured full-forward Kent Kingsley (hamstring) on the sidelines.

The same article also says:

Ottens only trained for 12 minutes and barely was able to jump off the ground during ruckwork as he attempted to convince the Cats' medical staff of his fitness.

Hmmmmmmmm I thought by the end of summer all our injuries would be gone... how wrong I was.

I'm kind of glad the cats aren't getting too much publicity and build up. No one really seems to care at all actually, thanks to the commonwealth games.

 

[Shell]

Im 99.9 percent sure Huddo said Gary! About 4.30pm today on SEN.. unless someone else heard different.

Anyway, we'll know soon enough i suppose.

Bring it on!!

 

[Copernicus]

Sounds like we're already getting a few niggles already. I bloody hope Gaz is okay. Give Ottens a rest if he's still not up to it.

 

[Conan Troutman]

They said on sports tonight earlier that Ottens will not play, and that McLeod and will play.
They interviewed Brendan McCartney about Ottens, but I was on the phone, so didn't catch that part.

 

[scottydeewah]

what kind of phone call was that chump...jeez priorities!
