Not sure any of us will make it until tonight at this rate.

Vodka?

When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. Then find someone whose life has given them vodka and have a party.

New game-plan?

Yes, JW

 

[Wickzki]

I think our best is better than theirs

I argue that more has to go right for us to win than it does for them.

The next step in our evolution is learning to win when it doesn't go right. That's where they excel.

I suspect we've lost too much to win tonight so anticipate they'll win by about 3 goals but not discounting us by any means

 

[Forty3]

I’ll need consoling if Cripps doesn’t play

Nick Duigan is your man.

IF Cripps doesn't play I can see only one solution... It's time to unleash the beast. KEMP time!

Can only play with what we've got, we can complain about luck and go hang out with Piers Morgan, or we can go out there with the Spirit of Imran Khan (cricketing days, not politician days) and fight like cornered tigers!

Not an emergency

What feeling are your feeling?

I got a feeling
That tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good, good night

hes a big boy

The bigger they are the harder they fall more they bleed - corks can be really nasty and toughness or whatever you're implying have nothing to do with it when they are bad.

He fought like a tiger as a politician too. Have to be doing something right if the crazies try to assassinate you!

Look at what we've come to...
Micro analysing Voss's presser for proof of Crippa playing or not.


Footy!!!!

I know, right. Body language, what gumph!!

We all know phrenology is the only true way to know what he's about!!

 

[Schoonerman]

Can’t for the life of me remember at what point in the game he got the cork ??

Lumpy heads rule . Ok.

 

[bigbertha5]

I don't expect to win this game and don't believe it's a significant issue if we don't win. The pies have lost 2 games for the year and are at full strength.

Need the other games to go our way this weekend then get the job done against lesser opposition in the run home.

Cripps and in Walsh can't be covered and neither can McKay - against a full strength Collingwood. Would be a huge win against the odds - but anything can happen in a game of football.

I'm still looking forward to the day when the side can field its genuine best 22 - we wont see it in '23.

If Cripps is out Voss loses all credibility when it comes to questions around injuries. Whether you mind it or not it could not be described as anything but a blatant lie. He was adamant Cripps is playing. Yes I know things can change but you'd have to be pretty gullible to believe that.

This exactly. If Cripps is out, why not just say he will have to pass a fitness test instead of he is 100% playing

Second half. Likely Q4. I remember it looked bad at the time.

I suspect mind games. Make them plan for him when you're planning for something else entirely. Leigh Matthews used to do it on the regular when he was coaching Brisbane

 

[goreds]

Andrew Gaze just asked Andy Maher on SEN if Cripps was playing tonight as there have been many texts to say he’s out…

Andy’s answer: ‘he’s been selected in the side’….

 

[lily of laguna]

At the end of the day, when all is said and done, more is said than done.

I want to see some ******* VERBS today. On the field. In action.

Beat
Smash
Crush
Kill

For example.

Cheers.

Oooohhhh yeah, let’s onomatopoeia the shit outta those filthy toe rags!!!!!!!

Obviously depends on the severity but you'd think most corkies would heal within 2 weeks - thoughts?

Corked hamstring reads more like 'hamstring' to me.

The lols when Ed is named

Ed has been omitted and not even named as an emergency.
