Hamstring awareness strikes again

 

[Beerfish]

AWARENESS

 

[Happyskeret]

Hope noboby picked Jones in Supercoach, currently sitting on -1!

Yeah I mentioned it earlier the subs have had more input than him and they haven’t come on yet.

 

[DapperDon]

Hamstring awareness?

 

[Call Me Cake]

It's just one game people cool your jets

 

[ScrappyCoCo]

Good Lord we are getting nothing from Jones and Langers so far. Midfield needs some class and would not mind Langers in there but who the F will kick our goals.

Goldy to ruck the whole game and Wright to stay forward. Goldy can have a rest next week. Release Tsatas for some midfield grunt.

 

[MiguelM]

Hopefully our medical staff have some hamstring awarenes too.

How did he not know he had hamstrings before today?

 

[Jobe Watson]

It's only pre-season, no need to worry just yet.

 

[Mercurial89]

Agree with everything as above, would also add Stringer as a positive at this stage

My only thing with stringer is,
Obviously contract year, he's not consistent or really part of the long term.
It's hard to be excited when he ain't gonna be here when we are good (will any one?) and can we rely on it?

Just feels like a sugar hit at the moment.

Hamstring awareness strikes again

The awareness is the thing. We're aware that Reid is aware. Aside from that we're not aware of how bad it actually is.

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

We’re too aware of hamstrings ..frustrating

 

[fishardansin]

Looks like being a loooooong season…..

... or short if we give Essendon the amount of attention they deserve!!

 

[Dave]

Reid subbed out. “Awareness”….

 

[eighties_bomber]

"its only a practice match"
"its only round 1"

 

[fishardansin]

We’re too aware of hamstrings ..frustrating

Lets hope they're aware of their own backbone and the location of their opposition in the 2nd half.

 

[quotemokc]

Lack of run through the middle is still plagueing us

Kelly on the wing is a waste, takes a mark and stops

 

[DapperDon]

It's just one game people cool your jets

It's only insert coach first year
It's only pre-season
It's only round 1
It's late in the year the kids are tired
It's only 2nd season for insert coach
It's only stand in coach end of season game
It's only insert coach first year
It's only pre-season


You get the point yet?

Um worse than nothing -1.

 

[JayJ20]

ABC reporting Reid pointed to hammy coming off. They reckon it looks like he will play in second half

No don't let him play until he's had scans. I'd rather be certain. It's not like Reid will be the difference in the game so no need to risk further injury.

 

[scythe]

Sounds absolutely horrifying on the radio.

What are we doing about Worpel? There’s been more calls of his name than a shark has teeth.

 

[mike14]

Hope noboby picked Jones in Supercoach, currently sitting on -1!

Same MO as last year. He's working his arse off, he's getting to contests, but he's just not impacting them at all

 

[bommer16]

Need to free up Langford. Wasted today.
