[Dez!]

The tank is on.

Can't wait too see how McKenzie and Bail go.

You know when you're out of favour when you aren't named the number 1 ruckman when you're the only official ruckman in the team.

Haha PJ.

 

[Fairtex09]

Id imagine Davey would pull up a bit sore after this game..

 

[half back flank]

and Sylvia to have hurt his thumb from those boxing sessions with the first year players

 

[Goobernutty]

Michael Newton out for eight weeks, comes back in straight to centre half forward? Come on, at least be subtle about it.

 

[givemethecure]

So. Winning isn't everything? Are we sending a message to the young kiddies that we're playing for fun and sportsmanship and camaraderie?

 

[Headless]

Interesting.

Really, really hope that Bail gets a game. Big fan.

 

[ETOH]

Good start...hope Bail and McKenzie are named in the final squad, but we really needed to start playing these kinds of players from the Port/Westcoast games, 'cause we're going to have one hell of a time trying to get beaten by Fremantle and Richmond. Green will miss the rest of the season i reckon, scaphoids just don't heal. Would've been nice to see Jake Spencer in. Hopefully we can invent some kind of Carlton-like-Fevola club imposed suspension for Sylvia when he is due back or maybe good old general soreness for some of our better players.

 

[WattsGoodForYou]

Can we get one of the mods to merge all these threads?

 

[puckled]

yeah theres three going

 

[Wonaeamirri33]

Again, since the injuries Brock, Grimey, Greeny and Jamar have all appear to be entirely legitimate, I don't really see why them being out would somehow mean we're 'tanking'

 

[whiteTiga2k]

hi guys...

i just wanted to ask whats wrong with grimes? and how long is he out for. His a real talent that one

Landed hard/awkward in the game. His back pulled up sore the nxt day and hasn't been able to train.

Hopefully a light session nxt week and he'll be back in 2 weeks. Don't want to see him shut down for the year. He's a youngster who needs games under the belt.

Agreed!

Agreed!

OK now you stop resting Cox and Kerr

 

[Richo75]

OK now you stop resting Cox and Kerr

I WISH they were JUST resting them......unfortunately Cox needs surgery

 

[Wonaeamirri33]

Must've been a real ball-tearer Richo...

 

[Dangas]

Good luck for the game

 

[Supermercado]

We're doing our bit for novelty number behaviour by putting a 48 and 49 out together.

WE WANT 50! DRAG RHYS HEALEY OFF HIS DEATHBED AND PROP HIM IN THE SQUARE.

 

[tesseract]

OK now you stop resting Cox and Kerr

And you guys can bring back all your best players with pretend injuries.

 

[Supermercado]

Please... injuries AND illnesses!

 

[Demon 86]

Is anyone streaming the game? Or do I have to go to the pub to watch it?

 

[demonfan9]

The only interest I have in this game is to see how some of our youngsters go. Sadly, if we win, it'll most likely cost us a priority pick. What a shit system AFL!

More chance of peace in the Middle East.

I have to get Foxtel next year. Can't stand watching games in pubs with ******s.

 

[melbournemartin]

Can you get Foxtel but only pay for the sports?

I don't want to pay for extra crap for garbage shows like supermodel shows and Two n a Half Men and The Big Bang Theory....

All I want is to watch footy and cricket.
