Unofficial Preview Round 17 vs. Essendon, MCG, 7:40pm Friday 05/07

They have now



Man this season is becoming a real slog for us with all these injuries

Tough see us scraping to the finish line

Keep your head up.
Maynard would play with an amputated leg, and Josh is much tougher than he looks.

They will play, and play well.

Friday night is a mini final and we will prevail.

 

[jmac70]

We had 4 come back and got 3 injuries and 2 with tests. Hence why I never understood the people saying wait until we get all our players back. We just are having one of those years when it comes to injuries.

Hard not to feel depressed mate. Carlton had a guy hurt his knee and is out for a week and Sicily dislocated a shoulder and might play this week. Like someone said it's going to be a nearly year and we really couldn't do much about it.

Let's wait and see how those players go this week before congratulating their clubs on managing their injuries.

Would like to see Carlton get injuries like us. Their players in the VFL are total garbage.

 

[JLC]

Could you eventually play all 3?

Cameron basically slots into defence and plays as an intercept defender.

Kreugs plays up forward and Mason plays around the ground.

One then gets subbed possibly.

Lol, yeah I saw them sitting down the bottom of the ladder.

Guaranteed they wouldn't be sitting 6th on the ladder like us, had they had the same injuries as we have. And our VFL team is not much better than theirs.

 

[No SPIN]

Kreuger is no less likely to be able to do any of the bolded than Cox.

In fact, those are all things Kreuger is significantly more likely to do successfully than Cox when in the side.

Failing on 1 and 5 will be a major reason why Cox will be preferred in finals.
Can’t agree Kreuger is better on the others, given so many here complain that holding marks is an issue, and therefore not really a strength compared to Cox.

Body Size is the main differentiator here.

They'd be bottom 4.

 

[ElliottsMaggies]

They'd be bottom 4.

100%

 

[Dead Eye Didak]

McCreery out for a possible 6 weeks!!....wtf...

 

[Dead Eye Didak]

We had 4 come back and got 3 injuries and 2 with tests. Hence why I never understood the people saying wait until we get all our players back. We just are having one of those years when it comes to injuries.

That's why l said it will be one of those nearly seasons, where injuries just won't allow us to achieve the full possibilities of what the season could have been..

 

[Dead Eye Didak]

Every injury we get is long-term. Just one of those years, l guess....

 

[Dead Eye Didak]

If Cameron goes down, we are totally cooked.....

 

[manicpie]

If Cameron goes down, we are totally cooked.....

Now I feel better. If it were to happen, this would be the year. It just frustrates the shit out of me because I think we're more than good enough to win it this year

we're a long way behind Sydney imo

 

[manicpie]

we're a long way behind Sydney imo

Yeah, you might be right

 

[Hardas]

I still reckon let's see if any real momentum can be built in the next game or two before getting too glum

 

[jmac70]

Freo showed that they can be beaten like any team.

We just need to concentrate on each week and worry about Sydney when we play them.

 

[Dead Eye Didak]

we're a long way behind Sydney imo

And Carlscum unfortunately

2018 out injury profile was arguably much worse and we came within a whisker of a flag. Don’t know why people are giving up at this point.

 

[jmac70]

The doom and gloomers are getting tiresome.

We are in the fight and a chance to go all the way.

Fire up!

In a great position to win the flag, but we're playing crap, boys needs to lift

 

[danielnajdek]

I was going to say another player but not even going to dare say it.
