Doubt it. They were saying a 6 week absolute minimum on that one initially, possibly up to 10 weeks. He's back in five, which means he's definitely been rushed.
The next three are, because we'll be lucky to get a win from the following five (Saints, Carlton, Essendon, Filth, Freo). I really want 3 from 3 if we're to have a hope of playing finals.
I can think of worse losses. Couple of hundred-point tonkings spring to mind. Not to mention THAT elimination final against Essendon.
That one felt pretty bad though, more because we were on a good run, confidence was high, then we were just...awful.
Agree. Would love for us to make finals this year, even if it is a 'one-and-done' situation. There's no way to get finals experience except by, well, playing finals. To get one into the squad (a large portion of which have been nowhere near a final) would be awesome this year.
I had Matera and his 127 points out there =D
I'm sitting on 1807 with Josh Gibson and Cyril still to play.
Very much considering selling Jolly and grabbing Petrie now.
This round was a toughie for me - forced to play Cam Richardson despite the fact I thought he would be the sub (which he was) simply because my 3 other forwards were Bull, Jack Darling and Goodes.
Personally I'm sick of having had to listen about the Filth for the past week and not having a result to cheer/moan about. I ruddy well hope they don't keep it.
BRING ON WET COKE
Not tipping this year, but it depends. I'll go head if it's a situation like the last couple of years. However, if it's a 50-50 or even a 60-40 against I'll tip the Dees.
