Must be a slow week in football.

Who we playing this weekend? - need Fritta back in the side, kicking goals in his moon boots if need be!

FIVE DOGS?

This makes me nervous. Remember that time Petracca broke his toe tripping over his dog while playing basketball?

Or the OTHER time his dog bit him and he nearly lost a finger?

Or that time Stephen Tingay walked through a glass door... Ok that one had nothing to do with dogs. 😂

He’s kicking them even from there! Unsurprising really.

his wide leads are getting ridiculous 

So no updates today!

Is it a case of no news is good news, or no news is good news?

Which may be interpreted either as the absence of news is good news, or there is no such thing as good news 🙄

Caulfield racecourse between the 400m mark and the finish post.

I have no idea, just playing along 

I'd imagine that due to the bye we don't need to submit an official injury report until next Tuesday.

Bloody hell moon boot not training.   Hopefully just precaution.  Maybe late out next week. Good news if win another weeks test for him.    Hard to see us winning without him.   I hope Grundy is sub. 

No one has seen him in a moonboot. 
Just sayin’

Are we playing mind games with Collingwood?

They have been saying that N Daicos is a chance to play next week.

Couldn’t think of a worse sub than Grundy

Invisible moonboots are the latest technology in recovery from goal poisoning.

I believe so. I can’t imagine Clint (Stanaway) would tweet something so “secretive” when everyone knows his dad works closely with the players, and expect to go unnoticed. This begs the question… won’t Collingwood know they’re related and therefore know this is subterfuge? Who knows. That’s my take on it, anyways.

This time next week the Fritatta will be looking to kick a hatful again, as @layzie would say. 😁👍🏽❤️💙

Or are they moonboots of invisibility?

Could be a hand piece of kit on match day.

Are we playing games with the Woodies...  oh i hope so..

Please please please play Daicos.. 

1) shows panic

2) way underdone...still capable..but limited

3) a fitter player wont play as result.

Daicos playing would say to me.... you ( Melb) have us on toast....this is our Hail Mary.

Will they ?.  Doubt it

They play Cox at their peril also.

This is finals baby !!!!!

If Fritta is a late out next week it will be due to something that happens between now and next Thursday. Other than that, he’s absolutely fine to play. 

This is all I know.

JUST IN - Expect to see Demon Bayley Fritsch in a moonboot for at least the rest of this week. Scans have revealed no damage to his previously injured foot, but there is bruising, so he won’t train until next week. The club fully expect him to tackle Collingwood

@FootyonNine

 

I'm assuming he'll join in training next week. Rest it up. That foot needs to kick a lot of goals and hopefully he only needs 3 games to do it in.

Really? I don't think KFW is quite ready for the big time yet but give him a few years. But if you'd prefer him on Thursday night then good luck!

Mentioned on 9 news he still isn’t training and racing the clock to be fit. Reporter was fathead Maguires fathead son, so read into that what you will.

Hopefully he is on the track tomorrow. 

@WalkingCivilWar thoughts on the above?

“Racing the clock” LOL. Poor old channel 9… got nothing but need to keep their viewers interested.

Nothing has changed… Fritta will play on Thursday. And if his mood has anything to do with it, he’ll play very, very well. Rest assured.

Good to see you’re finally on the job full time.
