I just read the article;  he won't play if their sensible. Same foot. they won't risk it even if its not the turf toe thing, as they all relate symbiotically.

It needs rest, and after the crows game, its a short turnaround for the doggies game.

I expect TMc to be back for Q/Birthday.

 

Welcome back Pedo.

Pedo would also be handy - and handy enough for the Crows, at that, I'd reckon. Very worrying about TMac, just the same. Hope all is well and the 'just precautionary' is merely the case.

I say keep playing him! it worked well for him and us  in the JLX pre season comp and on top of that we have the history of Trengove and Viney to prove you can just play thru the pain of these things. No biggie.

Crap on crap.

If Pedo produces 70% of what T Mac could and everyone else continues their great form, we're still a good chance on Sunday.

It cannot be the Weed, so Pedo is the man. We must win this one - not carry the 'L' plates into the forward line.

I sincerely hope he plays.

[nedariks 22]

We would have to be stupid to risk him right? 

Even with him out we should be able to beat the crows with thier much worse injury list.

Demonland rule no. 1 Always believe the worst case scenario MFCSS. Probably out for 10 weeks

[John Crow Batty 8,863]

I always thought we should have drafted Oscar Pistorius. We would have less of these problems.

Well this circumstance only lends itself to pushing out the inevitable rest period by another week. Goodwin has been almost nauseatingly heaping credit on ‘the high performance team’ of late so it’ll be interesting to see how they treat this one.

It’ll be great if he makes it thru to the bye for a rest but it has a feeling about it which makes me feel a high level of doubt.

As president of the MFCSS fan club I think you're being too optimistic.

It could be worse you could be TMac's manager.

At least we will have the Bull and the (Pedo) Bear

If, as Goodwin says, he pulled up sore after the Blues game, what the hell was he training today for?

He's pulled up sore every game since returning I don't think is a new thing. Listening to him on the MFC podcast after his return he delayed getting treatment earlier in the year thinking it was just a small thing so obviously now the second he doesn't feel comfortable he's going to notify the docs and get it checked out. 

He may or may not play on Sunday but I don't think you can fault the club for having him train, he has to train in some capacity if he is expecting to play.

could be a dastardly mind game to unsettle the cows?

nah

Really wish he would have held off on making those comments until the scan results come in.

Please rest him if there are any doubts. Id rather he miss 1-2 than 6-8 given his recent issues.

[chook fowler 19,459]

Might drop his asking price.

unlikely... if anything it goes up as it will re- enforce in Tom's mind that this contract is his payday.

Classic case of the Toby McGuire movie with Tom Cruise

[sisso 2,580]

Hindsight's a wonderful thing but I wonder if it would have made sense to rest him against Carlton (who we would have flogged anyway) to get him fresh from this one
