Emergencies Melksham, Tomlinson and Dunstan named, but Jordon isn't so that's probably confirmation that he's MFC sub on Sunday. If they line up as selected it's a bit surprising we're only taking 23 to WA.

Currently correctly show Geelong pick one.

Yeah, I'm happy I don't.

Has a Scott Thompson feel about it.

There's plenty of stupid stuff said there too but committing it to writing is extra stupid

TBC in that context does not mean "to be considered this week" - that's "test". It means "return date to be considered". Have a look at the other players with that description. It's synonymous with TBA - dumb I know. Howe is many weeks away.

I couldn't be there so foolishly visited the gameday thread for some insight. There's really no excuse or explanation for the stupidity posted in there except for stupidity.

Cameron 8-10 weeks, probably back after the bye. Will make KBW interesting - "knees-up" Cox will be in for a workout.

The Collingwood ruck crisis is real IMO. With Cameron, Cox and Begg all out for multiple weeks, it's all very well to talk about using Frampton, McStay or Johnson, but that just hurts them in other areas, especially back using Frampton with Howe already out.

We had 8 defenders in the selected 22 so Rivers and/or Brayshaw needed to play midfield minutes. For selection I'd bring Kossie and either TMac or Tomlinson in for Melksham and BBB into the 23. Then it's up for grabs whether we go tall or small with the sub.

At least there was no panic in our game day thread in the 2nd and 3rd quarter ...

8.3 to 8.6 since quarter time - sounds disastrous!

OK

Cox out injured. It could get interesting if Cameron gets an injury too.

It happened to Carlton - sent them into a 20 year and counting death spiral

Hawks finish last and lose draft picks following the alleged systemic racism investigation...

Okey-dokey

No Verrall or KFW?

Sydney $1.08 at home vs Hawthorn. If you take that bet now 36hrs out I make it 1000%pa interest on your money.

Are you predicting if we lose it be because of Tomlinson?

The article is not really about the kid though, it's all about the dad and his anguish. Long may it continue!

Yes and ChatGPT not smart enough to spell it correctly either. There's hope for DNA yet ...

going back-to-back?

Adding Fritsch is a different proposition to adding Schache or JVR - the players who are currently available. If Fritsch was available this week then I doubt Laurie plays.
