I'll be there with bells on

You, Arr0w and HBF strolling to the game after 6 pints.

Appreciate it horsey, but ... no medal for me? You know Aph's ego is going to explode in the mod's convo now.

Someone as wise and wonderful as you needs no medal ODN. A simple nod of appreciation should suffice.

 

[jj1978]

Hun article. “Voss has emphatically backed his fitness staff” etc over talking risk on the 6 returning from injury lay offs.

I personally wouldn’t be backing them to win a game of tic tac toe against a kitten after this season. But that’s just me.

 

[Monty1978]

Do we play Saturday night in Sydney next week when we win?

Surely Port play Friday night of a 8 day

The game will Def be next sat in Sydney

Do we play Saturday night in Sydney next week when we win?

Surely Port play Friday night of a 8 day break

It will be a twighlight time slot.

I posted this in another thread but Charlie was doing what looked like a fitness test this morning…

Wasn’t there an article he wanted to play sent a text to Voss but Voss and team ruled it out , will play next week if we get through

Ah, the protege has reminded the master of the need for humility. I'm so proud right now.

If they are pulling a shifty anything said prior would be part of the ruse

(I'm available for counselling should you need...)

Mitch Cleary and Jay Clark both running with TDK looming as possible sub.

Yeah but he was definitely going through his paces this morning. Could be rehab but fact Fagan was down there spying on him made me think it was something more.

Unless we deliberately leaked to Lion he was doing a test. But the test was a fake test just to screw with them. Chess not checkers.

So we pay the fine and Charlie comes in. TDK as sub. Switch him and Pittonet at half time. Can't see any other reason for it.

 

[Wickzki]

I'm not worried about that.

My concern is the messaging it sends...

Preach about squad mentality, perform your role etc all you want... but when you drop players who are doing their part in the hope that the returning 'superstars' will superstar whilst playing in positions that they shouldn't be in is a more worrying sign...

I'll throw a brick at the telly if I see Cerra at hb and/or Kennedy as sub...

If Cerra goes to half back then sure that's on Voss. But if he's playing where he should be then I don't mind him being named into the team.

I don't see what others are about the players dropped this week.

The amount of frustration I've seen about Moir being dropped on the back of two quarters is mind-blowing.

I see people complaining about Lord losing his place in the midfield to Cerra and that's a more reasonable argument but again if Cerra is good to go then he gets his spot back every day of the week.

People acting like those dropped helped us win games against finals calibre teams and they need their heads read. Cripps hero balled us to a big win against West Coast and we lost to St Kilda who finished 12th.

Lord, Moir and Binns were only ever filling in whole others were injured. Let's hope they become more prominent players next year. Tonight isn't their go.

 

[JustaBattler]

Downing tools at 3pm. Will head to the local around 4.30pm, Osc1 and JustaBattler shout

Don't believe everything you read, those campaigners wouldn't shout if a shark bit them!


GO BAGGERS!!!!

Two pot screamer you are - instead of thanking your mates for looking after you you go the bad bag.

GO BLUES.

I really hate this strategy

If TDK isn't fit enough to play a full game including bench time then he shouldn't be in the match day 23..

Plan and the game would go in the toilet if we lost a running player early on a fast Gabba deck.

 

[swuzzlebubble]

So we pay the fine and Charlie comes in. TDK as sub. Switch him and Pittonet at half time. Can't see any other reason for it.

If he's not 100% that could be a reason or they want maximum running power early on

 

[macky99]

They are just guessing, l would not think playing TDK as sub would make much sense.
More likely to be deep forward & some time in the ruck.

You can do better than that Bat ...
Fmd..

Yeah. But I get it.
It's because of the energy levels and enthusiasm..we've been sorely missing what the rookies brought.
I think mature bodies will be better, but we need them switched on from 1 to 4!

Now with Moir..he is so exciting and an x factor.
Would way prefer him than say Raz.
However, if it's Doc or TDK or even Cinc as sub...play on.

Ah - ha- ha - ha!!!

Not necessarily. If the team lines up as posted it's pretty well balanced.
