Preview Preliminary Final v Collingwood MCG Friday 21/9/18

[ARES]

So it's basically,

Conca, Short, Higgins
for
Townsend, Ellis, Butler(from GF team)

Looks like more run around the ground

 

[Hoos]

Broad is the most pointless selection ever, there isn’t even a match up for him. His rubbish form in the QF is just the icing on the cake.

Rubbish form in the QF? Did you notice Jack Gunstan at all in that game? No?

And the guy who played on him was...

 

[shaky]

Razor Ray heading to Perth

I’m sure Stevic will do his best though

Pretty good match up for hoskin-Elliot?

And Butler would be playing if he had been able to get back from the ankle injury quicker.

Ooohhhhh well played old son

 

[Nop returns]

Funny nervous as a dog shitting razor blades all week. As soon as selection comes out I instantly relax. This team just fills you with confidence

 

[Shazza_]

Astbury sent home early today, is sick

told u alot of the boys have flu incl cotch

will probably get rolled now

 

[tigernsw]

Gotta laugh at the talkback....
Full of Pies fans talking themselves up. It's all out of fear as deep down they know they're f**ked.

Higgins will 100% have the best career amongst all 6 of those guys.

 

[Waca Jr]

Do not get the **** hate. Butler lost his chance when the vfl team shit the bed.

 

[Sol23]

I can’t wait for tomoz night..... this is gonna be one hell of an atmosphere

 

[Tenacious T]

Looks like they're lining up for a dole cheque!

Who's got the flu?

If Butler was fit he would be named, however - it does not explain this

EMG

• Ryan Garthwaite,
  
• Ivan Soldo,
  
• Brandon Ellis,
  
• Sam Lloyd

i think we can all but guarantee that Butler is gone at the end of the year - i can understand him not being named in the 22, but to not get an Emergency spot is pretty telling, rumour has it he was training pretty strongly. Dare say it came down to he & Lloyd, with Lloyd being rewarded for his loyalty - I think however Butler made the more sense as we have no cover for a pressure forward or speed.... both Ellis and Lloyd play the at the same speed, honestly think only 1 needed to be in the emergencies

 

[Burning bright]

broad will have a lock down role on someone which means vlastuin can roam for intercept marks

Broady will get the same job as he did so well on Gunstan in the QF

Mihocek will be the one that Broad will do a number on in the prelim

Although not a gun player Mihocek will attract a lot of forward passes from their mids and Broady by fist or body will ensure they are wasted opportunities.

Why would Garthwaite be first emergency? Is he back-up for Astbury who apparently has the flu?

Gunston still got 18 touches and it was a wet game anyway. Roughead was the only tall across both teams that hit the scoreboard...

I think it’s pretty clear he not 100% so not worth the risk. Especially when there’s no obvious out. Best 22 when fit though. I think the emergencies are spot on.

I noticed that last week, they had a heap of space, they won't get that tomorrow night.

They were screwed with Corr being injured. They underestimated DeGoey by thinking part timer Buntine was a good enough matchup on him, it lost them the game.

No such thing as 1st emergency

the butler 100 percent fit and flying was probably a balmey special, his fingerprints are all over it and dimma played along, to take some of the heat off dusty. butts would have known and not had his hopes up.

Yes, but he was completely ineffectual and half of those touches came in the last quarter.

For the first 3 quarters at the game, I barely noticed he was playing.

Broad is an excellent stopper.

 

[astro_toby]

Good mate of mine is a Dr at the Epworth & a tigers fan/member - just messaged me a worried face emotoji that both Astbury & Cotchin were snuck in from the back and have been placed on drips & being monitored by Andrew Daff. Cotch is less of an issue than Astbury, with the drip being precautionary - but very real concerns over asbury - apparently has a temp pushing 40 and not holding in his fluids. They are not sure what it is..... they think it could be The Ebola.....

Nothing like an outrageous overreaction... It's been a while.

I can only hope this was an inside joke I'm not aware of.... Or sarcasm.
