Unofficial Preview Changes & prematch discussion for the annual track meet vs Western Bulldogs

[The Warlord]

Ooh it would be interesting to see him get slapped with the official AFL endorsed "Enforcer" prefix if he does lay a particularly crunching tackle on your prime movers at each, for example, Treloar gets up a bit sore after trying to skirt his way around a clearance, or Conor Nash at the Hawks suffers some unfortunate 4 week corkie after running into X at a stoppage

Footy is still a violent contact sport that has elements of a combat sport.

The rules are being dramatically changed to reduce the amount of chances players have to affect the game by injuring or plain hurting oppo players.

But X plays a role in stoppages where the combat part is most heightened and through his ability to lay those repeated bone jarring tackles is one of the few players who can still genuinely impact games by hurting oppo players within the rules.

There's a reason Clarko dropped Goldy for him literally at the earliest opportunity.

Xerri plays today's version of unsociable footy.

Injury?

 

[the big lebowski]

X hurt his shoulder last week

 

[Hearts to hearts]

Injury?

Or it’s so no one else gets hurt?

Xerri plays today's version of unsociable footy.

An unsociable well timed hip-swing knocking Weightman into row 3 would be just about perfect. Especially if the ducking turd ricochets off naughton's head on the journey.

 

[Sillygit]

Would love Weightman to cop a entirely fair bone crunching tackle from Xerri early doors.

You can see oppo player's health bars go from green to orange after one lol

Xerri uses Bone Crunching Tackle.

It's super effective!

Critical hit!

 

[giantroo]

Wardlaw available to play.

Clarko on George Wardlaw: He's out of his concussion protocols now, he'll be in the mix to return.Hopefully he gets a good run at it now.

 

[giantroo]

Clarko on Harry Sheezel: We're going to have to rule Sheez out, we'll see how he is for next week.

 

[King Corey]

So is he truly injured or not?
Riley Beverige didn’t even comment on him and nothing official on the clubs page or the AFL’s.

Super strange



Yep

Is there more to it taz?

Let me guess, he was feeling patriotic, had a sherbet and tried some breakdancing?

Literally could be nothing to see here.
He hurt his hand last Thursday at training and track watchers said he participated fully and was even taking the majority of kickouts.

I just found it super strange he wasn’t mentioned in any injury reports when in the past, blokes have been listed in injury reports as “available” and “suspended”

 

[Psi-Roos]

In - Bi-Annual Cody Weightmans a superstar game.

Out - Our hopes of a 4 win season.

God I hope Jacko pwns Duckman

[dus]

I’d be asking questions about why left Sheeze out there last week. It was terrible watching him limp around.

Should have been subbed and put on ice.

It was poor management of our prized possession.

One soldier out - another soldier in!

Fish, Wardlaw in.

Another loss in umpire roulette. Rodger #37 and McGinness #42 are both ****ing garbage. Joy

 

[BrandosRoos]

The Fish and WardGoat Is back, Thank God

 

[fargothegreat]

I know this may be hard to answer with the creativity of Clarko, but do you guys see Fisher slotting back in off half back?

 

[chubbspeterson]

Either there or half forward I think.
