Great stuff.

I hope we get Carlton's legal crew. They seem to have a knack. Our lot have been rubbish

 

[Fulgent]

Sicily copping a one match suspension.

Edit: for kicking out at McGrath. Stupid soft suspension to cop, why does he still do dumb things like that?

Yeah, if he's going to get a week he may as well throw a punch.

It was as clear as day at the time and bewildering that the commentators didn’t pick up on it. Poor brain fade from the leader of a young team. Pay the price, address it internally and grow

Sicily to do dancing with the stars after footy. Amazing leg lift. pity McGrath is a dancing crab

Genuine question: Why are we focused so overwhelmingly on this one kick when there maybe 8 shots for goal, 4 of them set shots, that should have been made before Finn even entered the game? Gunston himself kicked two behinds and should have made at least one. It’ seems odd to me that we’re nit picking on this Finn kick instead of listing the must-make kicks the forwards missed. Finn missing this kick or not is the most unimportant aspect of this game that we could choose to focus on, it seems to me.

Worst of the match was Weddle on the angle 45 meters out and missing. Connor MacDonald standing all by himself in the goal square.

 

[kazzooka]

Stop being a drama queen, one of those suspensions was for a perfect tackle.

The other was for correctly putting his body in line of the ball and a player ran into his back.

Hopefully it goes better than every other appeal we've made. Our history is almost as bad as 45.

Hope we've stopped using Rudi Giuliani as our lawyer, the guy is cooked

WCE appeal almost every time & seem to win

 

[SSSSSS]

Need to perfect the chewbacca defence if we're any chance.

 

[Iceman!]

Two things can be true

1. Sicily should know better than to react like that as a leader of the club

2. That being graded as medium impact is nothing short of ridiculous.

If they want to change the rules so any kicking or punching motion is immediately a week than fine, but under the current rules that isn't the case. That is 100% low impact.

 

[Mitchell Madness]

At the game right above it and I disagree.

Even on TV. It went directly to the leading path of gunston, who didn't even attempt to mark it

2 - McGrath just said on Sen he didn't notice it at the time. Might be ground to get it downgraded

 

[TylerDurden]

He'll get off.

 

[Suntory Boss Coffee]

He'll get off.

Praise the crab!

 

[threesixpio]

Sicily - Phillips
Gunner - Seamus
Watson - Sub
Finn whole game or bring in Hustwaite

Hardwick forward

Come at me

 

[Leather Poisoning]

Good vibes crab

 

[Leather Poisoning]

I'm interested to see how we go this week. May and Lever are an awesome combo and a good test for our newly stacked forward line.

I'm actually going to be at the game I think - first game in a looooong time I've attended in person (since that silly old MCC situation).

 

[threesixpio]

I miss Will Day.

 

[StillAtLarge]

Frost - Fritsch
Sicily - JVR
Phillips - Sideshow Bob
Hardwick - Pickett
Impey - Neal-Bullen
Scrimshaw - Chandler

Finn - Salem (easily their best ball user)

 

[Walshawk]

Serong in if Sicily misses.
Finn either in the 22 (Watson to sub), or in the VFL (for Husthwaite).

Gunston is slow, but no slower than 2022. He lost his pace years ago. He stays in.

 

[The Spirit of Cricket]

He'll get off.

If it happened to Dangerfield he probably would've said Sicily lacerated his calf and he struggled to walk the next day

 

[Blackhawk42]

Just remembered I have a wedding on this Saturday. Was so used to Sunday fixtures I just assumed I'd be able to watch this game.

If we're in the contest I'll be watching on my phone, and I don't care how rude that looks.

 

[StillAtLarge]

"Sicily kicked me into parts, pieces. One claw went that way and the other went that way!"
