#WALSH100

Without JSOS you can play Pitto.

It also expenses them down forward if TDK goes down there and also their second ruck option

Gotta say that Pitto was as mobile as I've ever seen in the reserves a fortnight ago. You'd think that he would be cherry ripe if he gets a run,

 

[ESKIE]

I like the idea of pitto in

 

[BigFrizz36]

Leaving in a couple of hours. Make sure that they don't start without me.

 

[Aphrodite]

5 - 0 and no injuries

That. Is. All.

 

[JustaBattler]

5-0 would be good and a warm up for the GWS game- where maybe the team makes a statement.

Inching back towards the favoured and proven midfield set up....

We’re quietly going about it and under the radar in a way. Knock off GWS and the Cats the following week and watch the media go. We’ll be flag favourites at that stage.

Can’t believe I just wrote that last sentence.

 

[myblueroan]

I have patience … dude comes on I have a secret but I can’t tell you …sounds like primary school stuff … either tell us or say nothing

Why give oppo the heads up early?
I can understand why not.

I'm happy to get any info. Anytime.
If you have a good source, you probably want to respect it.

 

[ESKIE]

Excited, first game since 2019….sis and I premium seats level 2…

Bring it home boys !!

Shall I place a hot water bottle and blankie on your seat for you?

Where are you heading in from?

Just a lazy 600km round trip from sunny Wodonga.

Happy travels. Hope we win for you. Scarf out the window for 300kms would be nice.

What a bandwagoner

Cerra test this morning. Tightness in hamstring. Considering Pittonet as replacement.

Top source

As soon as we knew it was Cerra, I figured it would be hamstring “tightness.” As it’s a reoccurring issue for him, expecting him to miss at least 2 weeks.

Luckily, we can go in with Cripps, Walsh, Hewett, Kennedy and Carroll…still should be good enough for the win this week.

Thursday they thought it was Quad.

Serious question
Would you prefer it being a quad or hammy?
I assume a quad would be longer recovery period?

 

[Zlatan]

Helps our stoppage and clearance game. Then stretches the crows backline if TDK can get time forward

The issue was always Pitto not being able to do anything but tap work and TDK not being able to hit the scoreboard. If Pitto can take a few grabs around the ground and TDK can get a couple of goals, the 2 ruck setup becomes a viable option.

What a bandwagoner

Yeah I've been to more games in Melbourne than that
Spewing I am working so will miss the first quarter then will rally drive to bestie's for lamb roast.

Couldn't give a toss whether Pitto takes marks around the ground. If our clearance turnaround is due to him being in the midfield, then he'll stay in the team

Life got in the way unfortunately

I’ll take the silver lining of it not being a recurring injury..missed a bit of time for us with hammy issues already. Hopefully having a late fitness test means it’s not severe.

I agree, It would have to be minor or not as bad as first thought.

Hopefully plays or misses only a week. I think he is almost our best mid at the moment.

 

[swuzzlebubble]

Scarf out the window for 300kms would be nice.

I tried that from Sunny Coast to Brisbane for the QF and got worried it was going to self destruct, so used the emergency lane to rectify.

 

[myblueroan]

Excited to head to my 1st marvel game this year too. Looks like renos have been completed?

 

[Aphrodite]

Another milestone today ...
