Bye Round 11 - Non MFC Games

[whatwhat say what 20,295]

Elliott looks very sore too - lower leg injury as well

[Wadda We Sing 10,685]

Pies players going down all over...

[Chook 14,647]

Elliott will be a massive loss for the Pies. Good for us, but I feel bad for the bloke.

[SaberFang 7,141]

Elliott strikes me as a really good kid. So much talent crippled by injuries.

[Bring-Back-Powell 13,601]

If Wells and Elliott miss next week and we lose I'll be shattered.

Gee, I hope they're all ok.

I would have been confident of Jetta holding Elliott

Pies players dropping like flies.   And still time left for Treloar and Pendles to do their hammys.

Make it happen.

I think you mean Devil!!

Perfect result. Pies win, ensuring all the nuffies will turn up next week and Freo begin their slide down the ladder…but they injure half their side doing it.

Wanting Collingwood to win for our benefit is good in theory, but is just not practical at all. It would even be hard barracking for them if we needed them to win to make the finals. Would be tempted to call off the year

That was only a matter of time at least it's not a calf, worst decision they have made getting him in on 3 year deal 

Buckley (and his Uncle Eddie) say "phew"!

Bring on the Filth.....

[Bring-Back-Powell 13,601]

Our list management has been pretty good but did we do enough to convince Howe to stay?

A bona fide star.

A limited player who is playing the easiest position on the ground to a high level.

A bona fide star is going a tad overboard.

Let's see for how many seasons he can play at this level for.

i think goldsack might be out too, he could barely use his arm in the last quarter

I got the impression we did the opposite of convincing him to say.  

He's become a good player at the Pies, but he was a good player at the MFC, too. Let's not forget the frustrating inconsistency he showed when here though.  Like stmj says above, I'm not prepared to bet on his output being sustained yet.

[Demons rising 52]

Howe does spectacular things but his turnovers which are often lead to opposition goals regularly

Dunn and Howe starred on the same day.

We all know that has never happened in Hunan history.

We will beat Collingwood  like a disobedient little shoe shine boy using the wrong colour nugget.

That's why Westerners invented guns isn't it, to deal with recalcitrant shoe shiners...These days we bomb them. The trouble is, my friend Heimie would say, is that if you keep bombing them who's gonna shine your shoes?

There will still be 22 vs 22 [at least at the start[ - and we need to beat whomever they put on the track!

[Maldonboy38 6,093]

Richmond are a lot better then many think. We have derided their supporters for so long, and laughed at so many narrow losses, that we are not seeing them for what they are - a very good TEAM. 

 North are rubbish

Collingwood are very beatable. They are poor in close at the contest where we are strong. Bring on QB. 

Gold coast are another MFC. They can beat anyone and lose to anyone. Hard to read where they sit. 

Essendon are another MFC without our talent. Once again, they can win or lose to any oppononent.

GWS intrigue me. Loaded with talent and very skilled, but get challenged by lower sides. How good have they been tnis yeaer on the MCG? 

Freo are poor but well coached. 

And the Dees? I am still waitint for the  its and pieces we have shown to click for one full game.  

[Sir Why You Little 35,318]

QB will not be easy. We will go in as Red Hot Favourites before the bounce. 

We all know how well we handle that burden. 

Over to you Goody.

More a matter of over to the on field leaders - they are out there, not Goodwin,  and they need to show their younger players that they mean business from the word go, and don't flag until the final siren.
