Wow, AJ and TJ. Wasn’t expecting either to play, let alone the possibility of both.

I wonder if a reining Premier has ever seen such team turnover in the following year?

We certainly won’t have many (any?) untried players by the end of the season at this rate.

Only Eyre. DeMattia. Steene, TJ yet to debut

Jen2310 How did Howe look? Edmunds on sen trying to insinuate Howe is not looking likely to come back for Friday.

Looked fine to me. Even fly said in his presser he would play.
Unless he knows something in the last couple hours the rest of us don't.

He's such a Pie hater, he's probably hoping by putting something negative out there, it will come to fruition.

English??

Um. Injure English

They can all debut next week.

Pendles out is massive. Always feels as if we go on runs with him out there orchestrating, and the opposition kicks goals when he’s off.

I have more faith in our system when he’s out there puppeteering it. Don’t think we win now.

Super intrigued by selection

He’ll definitely be missed, but what a great opportunity for our emerging leaders to step up.

Isn't he the Carlton flog who was on Blues Radio with Andy "Flog head" Maher.

 

[Harry O]

Ok it has come to this.

Bytel to tag the Bont. Lock it in

 

[Bramax]

Yeah I just read it. They legit reckon their outs are more then us. We have 7 fit players left to choose from.

And we’ll still win.

 

[Brad Goodman]

We can win (duh), but maybe it’s best for this to be one of those expect the worst but hope for the best scenarios.

 

[ElliottsMaggies]

Yep. I'm pretty sure it was him on. Does he do a bit of the Andy & Gazey show? Either him or that Julian DeStoop. He hates Collingwood even moreso

Chances are they hate us, whoever it was

Freddy to land heavily on the Bont.

Lock it in.

Fly just said pendles won’t play

I’ll be called a pessimist for this but I think we are no chance this week. It’s not just the experience and skills of the absent players that we’ll miss but also their leadership, chemistry and conditioning.

If you take out enough players, eventually the remainder struggle to follow the game plan. They just don’t have enough familiarity with each other and where they’ll each move to, especially when under intense pressure. Consequently more targets will be missed than usual, more guys will be caught out of position and turnovers will be more costly. And the youngsters will run out of puff in H2 because they lack the fitness base that comes from many pre-seasons.

I expect a spirited H1 but the Dogs to run away in H2 to a comfy 30-40pt win.

Despite that, I’m looking forward to seeing even more of our youngest players on the big stage, which will really help us in sorting out the keepers from the dreamers.

I blame everyone on social media platforms who said "at least Pendlebury will play".

Now is the time for touching wood and crossing fingers, not tempting fate and pricking the interest of the Football Gods who have gleefully f*cked us over again.

What I saw when he came off shaking his head almost going yeah no good guys was enough to know he wouldn't play.

Johnson kicked 3 goals against the dogs last year, though I am not advocating

wow, absolutely amasing

 

[Bramax]

With this bloke at the helm, write us off at your peril..

I attended a function starring Craig McRae in Perth on Saturday night.
Believe me, we are in very good hands.
An incredible man, winning attitude, ultra professional and following his time as a 3-time premiership player playing under Leigh Mathews, he served an 18 year apprenticeship coaching and learning from Premiership coaches Malthouse, Hardwick, Clarkson and Craig Bellamy of all people.
He said you don’t fluke losing and you don’t fluke winning.
He said there’s a formula to success and he reckons he knows what it is.
He has a glittering list of awards and we are so fortunate to have him.
