2m Peter against a struggling backline

I’m sure their struggling backline would be much more worried about Charlie Curnow

I’m glad the old plonker is being engaged by the *’s for their review.

And speaking of reviews it’s around a year ago today when Luke Sayers made his move after that Sydney weekend, for which we are eternally grateful

Time to break glass and release the Blueout this week.

 

[Ash24]

A poster on TC says Kennedy will not be back this week.

In the injury thread? I think that was just a poster misreading another post?

I think Stamos is right, just a bit of confusion. Pretty sure Kennedy will be fine to play this week.

They need to get it to him first.

And BTW Young will destroy 2MP.

Nothing, just going by the rumours in this thread.

* players at training: “Boy, I hope the Carlton coaches are saying, “It’s only *, so let’s give Harry an extra week of recovery.”.

2m Peter against a struggling backline

he's averaging 2.3 goals a game.

that'll get them the win!

I still struggle to see Wright as a threat. At all.

Seen far too often at Metricon him looking absolutely listless and folding in half at the slightest bit of contact.

I don't think I've seen a big man with worse balance than him. Seriously any physical contact and he'd fall to bits, not because of strength because he's a big man, just had no athletic balance.

I'm shocked that he's managed to put something together this year. Good for him, but I still go into every week expecting him to land back to earth.

 

[skadoosh]

My expert analysis on * tells me they are not very good:


I also just realised that Wright has kicked 0 goals in his last 2 games. For anyone who watched the games vs port and Tigers, was there any specific strategy?

Agree with most of that but he is an accurate kick.

If he's your only real target up there, he's always going to get a few looks....law of averages.

 

[skadoosh]

By the way, how do * only have 56 posts in their review thread?

Elite kick, anywhere inside 60. Though towards the end of the Suns stint that started to leave him too, but not surprised it's back as he's a beautiful natural boot.

 

[LanceRomance]

Have we ever won after the bye round?

 

[LanceRomance]

Not really.. back flanker out is not big
Hope the news on Harry is on the money.
Be awesome to have him back this round.

Take Saad out of our team and see how well we go

 

[jj1978]

Not really before or after that I can recall.

Because they're a shit stain of a club and their supporters have headed for the hills.

Do the boys train today.
Interested to hear progress reports on which players are possible.
Don't think they will risk McKay. He would be very handy.
And do they play Sam Durdin

We must beat the Bumbers.

Can only learn it by playing in it. Must play imo.

Lewis to play more man on man, tight defending in the contest with Durdin to be instructed to come off and float across the front of packs I reckon.

On that note, Sam Durdin will certainly play. McKay in would be massive if he is healthy, would really struggle to see how we lose with McKay in.

Careful protective humans do though.
What postcode should we be closing our curtains btw?
