Game Day Round 21 vs. Carlton, MCG, 7:30pm Saturday 03/08 #SP400

Yeah wasn t criticising our players or doctors but just seems a lot of head knocks this year

Hard to say whether there are actually more head knocks..or we are just testing players more, and it's a hot topic & also being mentioned during every game when there is a head knock.

It's fairly obvious some clubs are still not even bothering to test &/or put players in concussion protocols, hence the fines handed out last week.

Only a few years ago, even last year, the commentators would have just said 'jeez that was a heavy collision', the player(s) may or may not have come off for a rest and that would be the end of it.

Until Kreugs goes all kamikaze on him

Just wondering the last time Kreugs injured anybody other than himself.....kamikaze is right.

The fines need to be larger.

De Goey jump over De Fence.

No, thats Steve Johnson.

 

[Brad Goodman]

Cripps is 3-12 against Collingwood over his career.

Plus his disposal average and Brownlow votes against us pretty much mirrors his overall stats.

I knew Jordy wouldn't want to miss it.

Thats not surprising, his career record is 75-2-125. He has lost the same amount of games in his career as Steele Sidebottom who's record is 196-6-125

returns after spending two games in the VFL.

Lachie Sullivan, Wil Parker and Harvey Harrison are the three omissions and will be the three emergences for Saturday’s clash.

The substitute will be named 60 minutes prior to the first bounce and will be selected from the extended bench.

I feel very sorry for Wil Parker. Harvey Harrison has had an ordinary run in recent times, and given the stakes are so high for this game it's not a real surprise to see him go out of the side, but it's still a bit disappointing given he is one of our more highly-rated younger players.

For McKay.

Parker will be fine. The kid hasn't even had a preseason with us yet. He'd think himself lucky to even debut this year, let alone get a few games.

As for Harvey, it's not unusual for a lot of young players to drop off towards the end of the year.

I'm sure Parker is happy overall with what he's achieved this year, but he still probably would have thought he'd stay in the side for at least this week's big game. He does have plenty of time on his side, and will have a chance to be a regular next year.

 

[Cousin of Daicos]

Mostly happy with selection

Was always going to be interesting to see whether they actually selected De Goey or not

Would have been tough. Do they actually believe they can make finals? Then you risk further damage to his injury no? But I guess they feel even a 60-70% De Goey is enough to help get us over the line

But then if they realistically don’t think finals are on the menu then it makes more sense to let De Goey go all out and then put him on ice for the year

HH is a 20 year old kid, so he's been playing like he's tired in recent weeks.
His time will come, as will Parker's.

Parker playing a single game this year was way way ahead of schedule.

 

[The Magnificent Seven]

Glad they didn't start Pendles on the bench

 

[cfc19902010]

Gee Parker stiff

Thought he looked good

 

[ElliottsMaggies]

I agree. So no need to feel sorry for him.

Who would you have dropped to keep Parker in the side?

 

[Brad Goodman]

Forward line looks more stacked than it has for a while, I wonder where we'll mostly use JDG
