Preview AFL Rd 23 - Collingwood v North Melb - MCG Sunday 3.20pm Changes and Prematch Discussion

[PerthBoy87]

Does anyone have any insight into why Krak is not playing and the severity of Elliott's hammy (strain slight tear etc)?

Good luck boys

Krak is not playing in the VFL because he is sore.

Sore from what? He didn't play last week.

Don't get me wrong, you are welcome on this board and your insights into Krak have been great. With all due respect I believe you are not telling us the real story here.

He did play last week but missed the week before.

Well regardless of you what you think, I'm only telling you what I got in Krak's text message to me. So don't shoot the messenger (me) and don't you dare ever say to me again that I'm not telling you the truth when I'm only telling you and others what I got in a text message from him.

If you want to know the ins and outs then I suggest you go and ask Andrew yourself.

Whilst I can understand where you are coming from, I find your comments disappointing.

We only need to win by 120 points to take 5th
Cloke only needs 8 goals to win the Coleman

Easy.

 

[Geelong_Bisons_#36]

Basically a nothing game given the amount of % we have to make up to get 5th. And tbh i'd prefer to play Port than Carlton.
All our focus should be getting Clokey the coleman. Anytime someone gets a mark inside F50, Cloke should just walk behind them and get a handball and have a ping at goals.

at least 20 shot on goal

Once again BT and Richo have got it wrong - its actually about 90 points.

We won't do it but you'd think they would get it right.

I think you have misunderstood me. I appreciate your insights into Krak however I felt that your post was "towing the party line" if you get my drift. Certainly not calling you a liar. At the end of the day this is a forum in which people are entitled to have a different opinion.

 

[roosmad]

You ignoring the 39-point loss to Sydney and the 38-point loss to Freo?

appologies, now you guys by alot...please flog either of port or carscum massively...

Our focus is on winning the game and maintaining our form for the finals. Stuff the bloody Coleman.

I feel this will be a close hard fought contest.

We want to go into the finals with confidence and a win and North would love nothing more than to knock off one of the top sides and go into their preseason with a spring in their collective steps.

Cheers

Krak's had a year no doubt he would rather forget.

What's your thoughts on him returning to Perth next year?

 

[rayza esguerra]

its not over for 'krak' yet untill the fat lady sings. go KRAKOUER

Maybe, but is she warming up the vocal cords?

 

[Rustin Cohle]

at least 20 shot on goal

3.15 with 2 OOTF.

 

[Ketchup]

Really couldn't care about the result of todays game, just wanna get through injury free. Wouldn't phase me in the slightest and did a Ross Lyon and pulled Cloke and pendles out of the game last minute.

Not to mention Reid whos more injury prone than anyone else in the side.

I don't know if he is returning to Perth next year. I assume it will depend on if Collingwood give him another contract (as his current contract expires at the end of 2013). But then again even if the pies don't give him another contract he may choose to stay in Melbourne. Again I don't know.

I think we only held one emergency over (Russell) from yesterday's game

Play with 15 then for all I care. Just find some fans in the stand willing to play. Couldn't be too hard . I for one would nominate myself to take one for the team. I'll match up on Zieball

I'll play? Can I play? I'll play in the back line. Grab the ball and just boot the damn thing forward, just like the good old days, beat the flood, take a few players out hahahaha.

Although at the moment I'm enjoying a nice holiday in Carnarvon which for those of you who don't know is a country town on the north-west coast of WA 904km north of Perth. Lovely sunny day today in Carnarvon. Lots of fishing, lots of nice fruit although mangos are famous in Carnarvon/

Only if you bring back some mango for our 3/4 time huddle

My flight back to Perth leaves Carnarvon at 4pm (WA time) so I won't be able to make it. That's a shame. Oh well.....next time.

That part surprises me as it has been mentioned a couple of times that he misses family?

Then again you can't believe everything you read.

Yeah he misses family, just like any player would who lives away from their family. Have to wait and see.

I'd like for him to go around again for the Pies but not sure. Up to Collingwood to make that call.
