John Crow Batty 8,892 Posted July 26, 2018 Posted July 26, 2018 (edited) De Goey from Collingwood out for at least 2 weeks with bone stress to fibula. In plain English it means a broken leg. Edited July 26, 2018 by Grapeviney Quote

Demon_JB 1,389 Posted July 26, 2018 Posted July 26, 2018 Collingwood can't seem to take a trick with their injuries. Quote
titan_uranus 25,255 Posted July 26, 2018 Posted July 26, 2018 If Collingwood beat Richmond then full credit to them. But their record against the top 8 is only marginally better than ours. 1-4 (1-5 when you add in Geelong), and the only win is against us and we're 0-4 (0-6 including Geelong). The last time they played a top 8 side they got beaten by West Coast, a man down in rotations for over a half, by 6 goals at home. I'm just not yet convinced Collingwood is as good as their record or ladder position suggest. 2 Quote

At Least I Saw a Flag 5,353 Posted July 26, 2018 Posted July 26, 2018 I'm sorry for De Goey. Despite the sympathy I have for the young man, it in no way detracts from my hatred of the filth. 2 Quote
whatwhat say what 23,855 Posted July 26, 2018 Posted July 26, 2018 interesting that they're reporting it as alternatively 'shin splints', 'bone soreness', 'bone stress', etc. etc sounds like he's fractured his fibula, which is terrible luck for the kid Quote
Sir Why You Little 37,457 Posted July 26, 2018 Posted July 26, 2018 Any stress fracture, he is going to be out for longer than 2 weeks i would say. Unless the Filth have some magic juice they quietly administer..... Quote
What 18,810 Posted July 26, 2018 Posted July 26, 2018 A few decent chances of upsets this week - Geelong vs Brisbane - unfortunately its in Geelong, but the Lions are playing very good footy Freo vs Hawthorn - Dockers beat Port at home a couple of weeks ago, while hawks lost to the Lions in Tassie. Dockers with some handy players back this week too. Doggies vs Port - Port are overrated, the Bont is back and the game is in Ballarat. If we can get an upset (preferably a couple) from those three games it will be a great result. Quote
Dee Zephyr 19,311 Posted July 26, 2018 Posted July 26, 2018 We’re cheering the Swans on tonight, right? No way we could handle Ess on the same points as us if they win tonight.?? 4 Quote
SFebes 4,884 Posted July 27, 2018 Posted July 27, 2018 Who else thinks Richmond will smash the Pies this weekend? A lot of talk about game of the round etc, but with Pies injuries I can see it being very one sided and Collingwood are just as bad as us, they've beaten no one. 1 Quote

If sydney win then we hopefully will as well which keeps both essenscum and adelaide on 36 points and probably gone for the year. Fremantle and brissy are the ones to watch. Girlong might be a little flat after last week. Would love to see the filth get thrashed. 1 Quote

praha 11,267 Posted July 27, 2018 Posted July 27, 2018 Collingwood: Consistently smashes poor sides, loses to top sides, "respectable losses" Melbourne: the same, except replace respectable with disappointing or disastrous. 1 1 Quote

No way we could handle Ess on the same points as us if they win tonight.?? It's a tough one. On one hand, Sydney have a very tough draw, and a loss tonight could help their slide. On the other hand, Essendon's draw would seem to be easier than ours, so a win tonight could see them get in front of us and be hard for us to run down. That said, I don't really rate the Bombers, so I can see them dropping some of the "easier" games that they have. 2 Quote

Girlong might be a little flat after last week. Would love to see the filth get thrashed. I'll be supporting Essendon tonight (vomit!). They have Hawthorn next week (then StK), then Richmond and Port away in their last two rounds and need 4 out of 5 to make 13 wins. It's not completely unrealistic but I think they are a long shot to make the 8. Sydney have a super tough run and if they drop this they could also miss finals. FWIW I have tipped Sydney, as I don't rate Essendon. 2 Quote
binman 44,824 Posted July 27, 2018 Posted July 27, 2018 i reckon Swans will miss finals. For those who like to punt they are $3 to miss finals. if they lose tonight - which i suspect they will - that will come into$1.80 or so so if keen load up tonight (i'm keen). Critical game for them. I think Essendon will be too quick for them. A bombers win would be great for us. they won't make it and swans fall out of the 8 that will help us. Our percentage is the ace up our sleeves. 1 1 Quote
Bring-Back-Powell 15,548 Posted July 27, 2018 Posted July 27, 2018 It's critical that Freo beat Hawthorn on Sunday night if we're any hope of sneaking in with 12 wins. I can see a lot of sides including us finishing on 12 wins and we all know who has the best percentage at the moment. Whilst Adelaide and Essendon are paying elimination finals every week, they'll eventually come tumbling down in the last couple of weeks. Quote
SFebes 4,884 Posted July 27, 2018 Posted July 27, 2018 If these teams win, we are 5th and 1 game from 3rd. It's that close! Put that in your pipe and smoke it. 1 Quote
The Chazz 4,077 Posted July 27, 2018 Posted July 27, 2018 (edited) While we will all be barracking for some sides to beat others (as much as we wished we wouldn't have to do that this year), there's going to be a lot of sides hoping we beat our opponent or our opponent beats us. The hopes of about 7 clubs hinge on the results of many of our remaining games. We're not alone in this boat. It's great, but also killing me. Edited July 27, 2018 by The Chazz Quote

Must be a spin tactic from the filth hierarchy, as their members are probably too stupid to figure it out , a stress fracture ... must just need a few Valiums and two week holiday Edited July 27, 2018 by Delusional demon 82 Quote
Graeme Yeats' Mullet 6,792 Posted July 27, 2018 Posted July 27, 2018 Anyone see the Swans player kicking into fwd 50 from 50m about second minute? 2 x Essendon players ran through protected area... Onr line ball early, One blatant and late Harmes was ripped off last week Quote
