That's him! He was around the wing area when I spotted him.

Extract from HS article today about Murphy - poor kid has suffered a lot as a result of 7 concussions. Amazing resilience and sacrifice to keep going.

Does anyone know if the team will be training today? And if so, what time?
Cheers

They should be training today and Thursday. I would assume around 10am

So he has now alerted the medical authorities of his plight and questions will soon be asked and tests applied. Might get another season out of him before he is declared unfit for further play. Would a helmet help?

 

[Cousin of Daicos]

Sheesh.

Sounds like he's legitimately one concussion away from retirement. Which would be sad

Reason for optimism for the Pies?


Cats have won 1 of their last 7 Qualifying Finals.
2016 2pt win over Hawthorn. IIRC that was a kick after the siren too.


Last time the Cats and Pies met was in 2019, similarly Cats 1st, Pies 4th after H&A, Pies won by 10pts.

Actually Im a punter, so I do go over a lot of stats, I thought this may interest Pies fans.

Its not as if I could post this Fun Fact on the Cats board lol.

Bye Bye Geelong?

You didnt ask for it, but your getting it.

Since 2012, Geelong have won just 4/17 games after a bye. (Compared to Pies that are 7/15)

The article certainly reads that these symptoms persist, rather than having ended with his recovery.
If that's correct, then I'm very concerned for the kid.

Club doctors will be all over this surely

Helmets don't help with concussion, as consussions are usually about the head suddenly changing direction - I think that's the current consensus anyway.

 

[ThePhantom777]

Anyone think the Cats will come at our younger players like Naicos and Ginni physically?

We've already been through all of this

Reckon they'll be too lazily complacent to care. Seems as though they reckon they have a God-given entitlement to win the flag this year. It's more likely that the evil peroxide dwarf and the dancing assassin will be hunting down their bloated egos rather than the other way around!

Doubt it. Otherwise Bruzzy might have to give the offending Cats players one of his special cuddles

Can you put this on the main board thread as well so i can watch the melts.

I hope so, takes the pressure of Johnson, Elliott and Miohocek

*9am.

Lets not make people late

 

[KinderSmock]

I wouldn't be banking on Geelong to choke this one. Their form isn't great after a bye but we're experts at blowing big leads. Swings and roundabouts kind of stuff.

 

[unplugged]

Got a strangely.... bloody good feeling about this one.

 

[Cousin of Daicos]

Personally doubt it given McCreery, Maynard and Adams will be in the vicinity

I wouldn't be worrying too much either way as finals generally sort out the better team.

IF we bring our A game with Tay in the guts I'll be very interested to see how the Cats react to our pressure at the G and the occasion.

We have strong evidence that we will handle the pressure and keep coming no matter what.

Talking about Helmets isn’t Ginni supposed to saddle up with one this weekend? Aka first final.
