The stars they are a-lignin'

[Kong]

Next week we take on the Cats, and after blowing a 4-goal lead in Round 1, we come up against them with the possibility of them missing all of Scarlett, Mooney, Podsiadly, Hawkins, Ling and Corey.

It could be our best opportunity to beat the champs for a long while, and could certainly spark our season.

Nice jinx, jinxy.

Re: The stars could be aligning

What, have all of Mooney, Corey, Enright, Scarlett, Podsiadly, Hawkins, Rooke and Ling been cleared?

Re: The stars could be aligning

Hille and Gus missing will hurt us. Having Fletch back will be awesome though.

We lost.

Re: The stars could be aligning

Doesn't necessarily affect this week.

You're to blame for the loss, anyway. Can't remember why; Phone will.

I'm actually really optimistic this week.

Re: The stars could be aligning

I'm also reasonably confident.

Me too......I think

 

[The Donners]

Re: The stars could be aligning

I'm pretty confident too. Thought we were very good in patches yesterday under conditions we're not used to, having no bench and battling against the men in white (or whatever colour they were in yesterday).

Hopefully those conditions weren't too taxing on our legs.

Geelong have had players out for the last year and a half and they still manage to find ways to win games.
This will by our toughest game of the year to date.

Pods MKII to be released this week (Maybe )

Who is that, and what crawled under his nose and died?

 

[Kong]

Re: The stars could be aligning

I think I know that guy (by face).

Who is it?

Re: The stars could be aligning

It's Ben Johnson. Don't know if the club will cough up the cash to promote him for (likely) only one game. All three of the key forwards would have to miss for him to play I think.

Re: The stars could be aligning

Pods slipped on a mat in the change rooms before the game and hurt his groin, still a chance to miss.

 

[Kong]

Re: The stars could be aligning

Yep, I was more concerned with the injury than the report.

Mooney very unlikely. Hawkins definitely out.

Ling probable to play. Scarlett no chance.

Plus Ottens, Rooke, Corey.

As well as the possibility of Gary still down in the dumps about playing forward. Poor little fella.

Oh and, fix your quote, noob.

 

[Frothies Mcveigh]

Re: The stars could be aligning

Pods cant kick goals away from Skilled. Plus with Pears and Fletch on him he should go goalless

Re: The stars could be aligning

The afl love geelong dont they?? Enright and pods free to play after belting players.
For too long geelong have dont what they want to essendon, this is our best chance to get them and we need to beat them to keep in touch with the 8.. need a big game from hurley up forward!! Gumby needs to run taylor all night

LOL! Two words "David Hille".

Should be a cracker game. Looks like we will be forced to play small which will mean a very fast game. Think it will be under 15 points either way.
