Earlier today I tore the crap out of my calf and have missed the first half of Melb/Norf at the doctor. Just got home. What is going on

Geez. Sorry to hear that. How did it happen?

He was brilliant for one year. Not sure how much his link with Shane Charters played a hand in that...

And he got some votes from an umpire that he didn't deserve because said ump didn't like West and his alleged womanizing ways. I think I might have mentioned that story before

 

[The Inbetweener]

Brutal from North. Their disposal really lets them down.

Old man injury

It’s really wide open right now isn’t it, as bad as our season has been on a whole (no matter what happens from here it’s a MASSIVE failure for us not to be top 4 considering the quality in the comp) but still if Friday nights footy is our baseline going forward we’re right in it with a sniff, although a very difficult one because we’ve been too poor to lock in a double chance.

But in saying that every time we’ve looked like we’re back with a sniff we’ve shat the bed almost instantly, so not getting ahead of myself based on one game against poor opposition

Don't worry, the bye will help us again

Walking. An extreme sport.

Power walking?

Melbourne have gone into 2021 beast mode again. About the same time in the third quarter as they did against us in the GF.

Or maybe North's brains trust (I think there's an oxymoron in there somewhere) suddenly realised that Sanders was not going to be coming their way if they kept playing the way they were. Who knows.

Anyway normal service has been restored. Alas.

 

[weltschmerz]

Power walking?

Rushing for the bus.

Just Been Reported that Nick Daicos is out for 6 weeks with a hairline fracture in his right knee.

That's terrible. He's a great young player and I wouldn't wish any serious injury on him (maybe just a little hamstring tightness to keep him out on a precautionary basis when we have to play them ).

It also puts an asterisk on this year's Brownlow, unless he still wins it. Mind you most Brownlows have asterisks on them but that's another conversation.

I was concerned that a hairline fracture of his knee could be something like the one that ruined Cooney's career. Ironically that also occurred late in Cooney's Brownlow year. However it looks like Daicos's injury is a different one - "a hairline fracture in the lateral tibial plateau of the right knee joint" whatever that is.

Rushing for the bus.

Wait ... weren't you out walking?

 

[Dogs_R_Us]

Who do we want to win out of Carltank and St Failda?

 

[Mr. Walker]

I’ll defend Kelli because she has succeeded in what is essentially the boys’ club but that’s funny. Sexist and very un2023 but funny.

When you say “she has succeeded” what does that mean? If you mean “stayed in the job” then Hamish McLachlan, James Brayshaw and Brian Taylor are runaway success stories.

 

[Bulldog Brent]

Who do we want to win out of Carltank and St Failda?

That’s what I’ve been weighing up.

Saints win good for us if they lose a game or two in the coming weeks.

 

[Leon]

Who do we want to win out of Carltank and St Failda?

Saints.

Prefer to play them in the finals over the other possibilities.

And also, **** Carlton.

I just witnessed an event that comes around as often as Haleys Comet.

was on the wrong end of an umpiring decision.

Astonishing!

Who watched the Melbourne game ? Did petracca play well enough to get votes ?

Pickett could steal votes, he did some flashy things.

Funnily enough, if we play Carlton or Saints either way it'll be our first final in Melbourne since the 2016 Grand Final. Technically we're still on a winning streak (of two) down here

Who do we want to win out of Carltank and St Failda?

St Kilda. They won’t be much of a threat in the finals so I don’t mind them making the 8. Carlton could be a threat and besides it’s always good to see them lose.

The worst possible result would be a draw as both of them would overtake us. It would mean we aren’t fighting against StKildas percentage (we’re in front) but instead we’re fighting against Carlton’s (we’re behind).

Please Holy Dog in heaven, no draw!

And scores are level

Looks like it’s gunna be Carlton

Carlton for me. You're forgetting a team that are capable of doing more damage at their best. Geelong.
A Blues win will push the Cats a win back outside of the eight again.
