Training - Wednesday 26th March, 2014

[Deecisive 1,674]

If we dont have enough talls then work on a game plan using smalls and keeping the ball moving and low to the ground running the big fellows around. just need to be thinking abit more about how we play and not try to play the way we would if we have a decent tall and functioning forward line.

[Its Time for Another 4,058]

I did notice a couple that weren't wobbling.

Which side of the fence.

[RalphiusMaximus 6,001]

The Bulldogs had a fair bit of success with a small forward line for a while there. They made space, worked hard and let their small forwards lead out 1-1. We can try to do something similar.

howe was hobbling on sat too

I left the ground Saturday hobbling and distressed.

[Demoneyes 562]

Watts reported as doubtful for this week

[Ted Lasso 17,318]

Watts reported as doubtful for this week

Where?

[La Dee-vina Comedia 16,534]

Watts reported as doubtful for this week

That's because someone mentioned he might play as a tall forward. I think we've made a Nobel prize winning discovery - tall forward injuries are highly contagious.

[Age 421]

Watts will no doubt be listed now as 426. If we hear it's just a niggle, I won't expect to see him till preseason at best.

Another of your top notch sources..?

[Carrot Top 947]

Are you sure you went to the right ground?

[Pennant St Dee 11,893]

Another of your top notch sources..?

I think Jay Clark wrote an article on it last night but it was due to Watts not completing training and wearing a compression sock or something similar. My guess would be precaution as he apparently moved okay

[What 18,810]

wouldnt it be great if Watts was out injured after the best game of his life

Just our luck hey

Yes, well that article from yesterday morning does not say anywhere that he won't be playing.

[monoccular 16,683]

Watts reported as doubtful for this week

OMG -- maybe list the fit ones rather than the injuries

[Barney Rubble 1,576]

While I seriously doubt he is AFL standard

That might be taking it a little too far.

Whilst I think OD underestimates his talents.

he definitely over estimates Pedos abilities

[Barney Rubble 1,576]

Yep he has calf problem. Old mans disease let's put him on the open market

[Demoneyes 562]

Did only say he was doubtful. That's 50/50. We'll see

[Demoneyes 562]

And Gawn gone also

[jnrmac 19,508]

aaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrkkkkkkkk

Our trouble is Dee that we don't really have proven quality smalls/quicks at this point either. I like the strategy though. Just don't think we have those types of options who we know can be relied upon to deliver.

That's not to say we won't develop them going forward but it's not really a geniune option right now. I wish it was, particularly this week. Can't see how else we can beat the Weagles with a standard set up....not that anything is standard with the MFC line up right now. Barely a dangerous key position player available to pick.

Watts was limping in the 2nd half on Saturday night. Wouldn't be suprised if he's pulled up sore.

I think he got kicked on the lower leg by that muppet-esque hairdo guy from StK
