He would, he'd just diagnose it as "Strained glute. 2 weeks".

I like it!
How do I act like I own the joint?
I just don't want to discourage supporters from other teams to post in preview threads in the future
Flukey!

They also said Sewelly was studying so I think it was as much as about that as anything.

This is great news. A couple of weeks in the DS getting a feel for the game, a good preseason & ready for a real crack at the big time next year.

Great news.
Any confirmation one way or another that we've just completed a large training block? Had a Swans mate tell me he knows someone that knows someone... blah, blah, blah.

Tough one this week -
I think we will see Birchall back as he needs game time before the finals, same as Shiels. Hodge a maybe depending on the thumb
In - Bailey, Franklin, Birchall, Shiels, Hodge (if fit)
Out - Grimley, Spangher, Simpkin (unlucky), Maybe Sewell to try and freshen him up, not sure who else.
Looking like 08, there will be some unlucky boys out there this year come september.

Yeah you are probably going about that the wrong way when you are calling our supporter base "douches."
You would think that Birch and Sheila are musts. Gotta have match conditioning prior to the finals. As it is I reckon Birch will really struggle.
I wonder if Ozzie is still in the frame. He is still our best offensive offensive tagger. Dunno if he has the legs to play that run with role. To win a flag we need to keep a lid on guys like Maxwell, Mackey and Malceski. Whitecross may get the gig but he does not kick enough goals.
Clarko wont make this many changes in 1 week, birchall will be back but will play at Box Hill this week and be back next week, they wont take the chance with Hodge so he can have another week off, I think it will be franklin , Bailey and Shiels in for Grimely, spanger and simpkin ( who was poor last week ). If we dont get any injuries this week we can bring in Birch and Hodge next week, then we can field our best team possible ( apart from suckling and schoenmakers) going into the business end of the season.
This is the sort of thing that makes me feel like we are getting ruthless. It's the small things, but it creates a level of focus and dedication that we may have been missing last year.
If I could make one coaching call this week it would be:
In: Anderson (11 tackles in VFL last week, we need to add that pressure to their ball carriers and has the run)
Out: Hill (its been a long season for the young lad, pretty much his first full season. He need to have a break and freshen up for the run home)

Yes, I got a good feeling that they will pick Anderson this week

At the start of the year he did sensational jobs shutting down Stephen Hill and Malceski.
I am amazed he has not been back in since his injury.
Has there been any reports about training this week?
Has Gunston/Buddy been training with the main group?

There hasn't been any reports from training in about 3-4years
Wind and rain forecast for Friday night, not exactly suited to our game plan strengths, lets see if we can adapt to the weather this time around, short kicking and trying to pinpoint passes in the wet with a slippery ball is not an effective approach, it cost us 4 goals against Richmond late in the 3rd when the clouds opened up, it was dumb arse football which had me pulling my hair out, hadn't been that frustrated at the footy in a while........ The boys are going to have to slog it out in this one.

Getting a home QF will define our season. The difference between say ....
Hawthorn v Freo (MCG)
and
Sydney v Hawthorn (SCG)
.... will in my opinion decide whether or not we make the gf.
The prospect of Collignwood getting a double chance is so slim im not sure you can even take it into serious consideration. Even if Sydney dropped the games I doubt Richmond will drop enough to let you past. Collingwood will get a home elimantion final regardless of whether they win or lose this game.
In short I think we have more to play for than you.

I agree except for the Freo part
They won't finish 4th, with their run home will finish on 70 Pts, which will be top 2!
