Thats potentially 8 of our best 23 out.
I was going to say goodluck, but you won't need it.
I have a terrible feeling you are going to smash us...at least 8 goals

Its a shame, as i was really looking forward to this match to hopefully see whether we've improved.
Yeah, I’m all over that stuff. I’m talking more Cleary/ Browne/ Dawe/ Zita reporting from training that Cripps/ Walsh/ Martin trained or missed on Tuesday (yesterday was your day off apparently). For instance I had no idea Cripps had missed the full week of training until Sunday. They’re all over a Collingwood session, but you barely hear anything about players from other clubs missing a session or attending if they’re under a cloud. At least that’s the way it seems to me.

Last week the Port board in the pre-match discussion was choccas with posts lamenting their health. They all seemed fine to me on Saturday night. My guess is Cerra and Cripps get to the line, they’re conservative on Martin and Motlop’s a bit like Harvey Harrison on our side of the fence if he plays he plays I don’t think it’s influencing the contest. The guys that get up will have an impact. With Cripps, Cerra and Pittonet in the 23 you’re marginally better than v WC so I think you’re underselling your chances. Voss and co not falling into the trap of using Pittonet as the number 1 ruck to have TDK go forward could be a big factor because TDK is the number 3 ruck league wide over the past 6 weeks (as per CD).

If we bring our best it’ll be a 6-8 goal result because I think our best is that much better than Carlton’s, but I’ve seen our best over 4 quarters twice this year (GC and Port Rd 2) if you can take our best from us (back half intercept and slingshot on turnover) there’ll be some twitchy folks on this board around 10pm Friday.
 
All the talk of the crippled Blues may be just that by the time they run out of Friday night. Pittonet in to ruck so DeKonning can go forward as a replacement for Silvagni. Owies, Cerra and Cripps back in and it's a strong side.

Just give AJ the forward 50. McStay and mihocek flank wing link up roles. Cox and Cameron rotate rucks. AJ with a front 50 to lead into. Kids a star.

So Carlton board talks like it’s their vfl team, when I reality it’s like 3 players. It’s funny how when silvagni plays they want him dropped and call him a crab, now he’s injured he’s an AA forward that they will miss greatly
Once that Voss announced that Cripps will play, some on the Blues board declared the Blues will smash us. Would they prefer that we just forfeit?

I wish McKay were playing as I feel it'd increase our chances of winning.
Not to mention Silvagni. He could fluck up a free lunch.

Helpful hint: don't go over to the Carlton board to ask whether they have done their ladder predictors and are scared of missing out on the 8 when Toby Greene rips their hearts out in round 24.
 
Ginnivan and WHE training today at the Captains Run. Hill still a no-show with the virus apparently. Either could come in.
If Ginnivan kicks 0.2 and lays 0 tackles I'm looking forward to some on here suggesting he keeps his spot ahead of Hill next week!

You spend a lot of overnighters in BigFooty jail.

Gone Critical is going to start having to take on some infraction points for you soon.

Yep - we're a pretty ordinary down the line team. If a team can keep us to going down the line for 3 quarters - they're in the box seat - until the final quarter - when our comeback style forgets about the boundary line and treats the outside of the centre square as the line.
