Think we're a chance to get up but it's going to be a massive task.

A thing that will be a huge help is if the boys get their eyes tested to make sure they can see Darcy Moore

wears a Pies jumper..I swear we kicked it to him about 20 times last time we played

Our injuries obviously hurt but I still think our best footy is good enough to get it done. Pressure, pressure, pressure and more of moving the ball the way we have please

 

[I bleed Blue]

I remember in his early days he wanted to come back on with a broken leg

Did play through a VFL game with a broken leg.

The bloke is as tough as nails. I'm sure he has played through many injuries we have never even known about.

Would take alot for him to miss this game.

Gonna be fun at 6:20 tomorrow night.

How bad could a cork thigh be?

Corkies can be incredibly bad. I know many blokes from local football who’ve needed to be in hospital for weeks having them treated, especially when they’re around the quad, thigh or hip. Know of stories where guys have had to sit in a hospital bed for a week with their leg sliced open the entire time, such was the swelling of their quad muscle. Just depends on the amount of bleeding you cop.

 

[reg_lower91]

Not sure about that. Depends on the nature of the treatment.

Very few players would be completely injury free at this point in the season. Many would be receiving treatment even on game day.

Really hope you’re right. And agree - many players would be getting some sort of treatment at this point of the season. Just my option that if you’re still getting treatment, 2 days before a game, for an injury which has caused you to already miss a week, then it isn’t a good sign.

Damn! That’s intense & pretty gross

Hey all - Adelaidean here who just so happens to have ended up in Melbourne for the week for work. Given I wasn’t expecting to be here I never upgraded my tickets for this one, is there anywhere on our forum to keep an eye out for tickets or anywhere that I might be half a chance to maybe snag some?

Still single tickets available if you're quick

 

[DEliades]

How do we combat their midfield depth with potentially Crippa, Cez, Walshy and Kennedy out. I don’t see how we get close despite how good we’ve been

 

[BlueBelle]

No Cripps and no Cerra Friday night

 

[ESKIE]

No Cripps and no Cerra Friday night

Says who ?

 

[BlueBelle]

Says who ?

Unfortunately somebody I know who is in the know. Shattered. Really wanted to have a crack at them. Last two weeks have killed us with injuries

 

[Graffy4242]

No Cripps and no Cerra Friday night

So midfield of Hewett, Doch, Dow and Ed Curnow........sheesh

 

[BlueBelle]

Cunners for a cameo appearance. But yep.

In other news, TDK wants to stay!

 

[Revenant1965]

No Walsh, Kennedy, Silvagni, McKay, and possibly Cerra, Cripps... If so, far decent group of players out. I still believe they can win, and if so, it'll be a win for the ages.

 

[Matrix10]

Cincotta also

Possibly our greatest ever if it happens.

I’m going to wake up at 530am my time because I also believe - they have earned that belief the last 5 weeks by keeping up the elite pressure even when up 10 goals - don’t recall our club doing that the last 20 years so this is something special brewing

The Pies smell of premierships
The injuries make it tough
An honourable 19 point loss.

Imagine if we were to beat them Michael with maybe 7 players out?

Considering we are at least 12 players short of a premiership team would that mean that they are at least 19 players short?

 

[Kernafides]

So many differing whispers. Interesting selection tonight

I suspect the club will give the boys until Friday to prove their fitness, could be a couple late changes

 

[Rustica]

Yea there's no way Cripps is not playing tomorrow night

 

[Jatz]

I'm not getting my hopes down until I see it official.

Lot of whispers getting around this week. No point listening to the shadows.

 

[marcmurphy3]

The club has definately kept what's going on under wraps. Usually by this stage you would have a pretty good idea of who's playing (footage from the track ect). This week nothing. Just different rumours flying all over the place, often contradicting each other. Will be interesting.
