This sounds like the first line of a country and western song.

How do you test a broken jaw?

I can think of other years

when barracking for my team

was everything a younger fan could do

I could never see finals

for there were always better rivals

How can you mend a broken team

How can you stop the raining goals

How can what's begun stop declining

 

What makes this club go round ?

How can you mend, this broken team

How do these losers ever win

please help them mend this broken start

and let them play again

 

I can still taste the Bries

pass the mussels if you'd please

and a dusty Sangiovese while I cry

 

we will never watch'em in finals

been outplayed by better rivals

how can you mend a broken team

how do we stop them falling down

I see nothing in Hore that screams he will make it. Poor decision if he is in the side.

a screaming Hore - well i never.

So who is the player from Friday not on the plane? Neal-Bullen?

Hore and Spargo should be nowhere near the AFL side. At least playing Preuss would give Sydney something different to think about.

Maybe he’s hiding behind Charlie.

Might be because it is not on the weekend.

They are taking a kid who had a broken jaw two weeks ago. This is way more serious than I thought.

Spargo is tough as guts but.

i'd prefer him out there compared to a lot of others.  even for a kid you generally know what you'll get

Yes I think he must’ve left him out in the first tweet.

I heard SEN mention all but Preuss as well though.

Not discussing how tough he is. Surely it takes longer than two weeks to heal a broken jaw. Has the smell of continuing to playing Smith with a injury in a practice match. Oh that's right we did not think it would get any worse. God deliver me.

Well combined with the issues around lack of fitness due to pre-season factors, it sounds like it would be a quite justifiable one.   

Hopefully that is offset/mitigated by Sydney's 5 day break.

Yes I have done too much of that over the years.

Dark cloud over this team. Seem really bereft of confidence.

Goodys pressers make it seem he isnt quite sure how it all went wrong or how to fix it.

Would love if we turned it around, but history shows how poor we are against them... and up there its been how long since we won?

Spargo wont play unless Hunt or Lockhart are a late withdrawal.

Or if we want to try a three amigos small forward set up.

Or if he plays in the midfield (which by the way is his natural position).

He got dropped and then had his jaw broken in his VFL match. He got dropped for a reason and hasn’t had time to rectify the cause of his  dropping and build form to return to AFL level. If he plays, it’s poor decision making by the coaching staff.
