Jaded No More

Hibbo and Smith both in starting 22 Laurie is my guess for sub

What do you make of the Noble omission?

Have done precisely no work today. Tomorrow is an office day for me. It's gonna be brutally long.

Come back tomorrow, it will get worse.

Yes and yes We are not in a rebuild phase. We are in a flag winning phase. Right age group.

Was it the sausage talk?

The only poster in this thread worth listening to I wonder where @Chook in Perth is these days. Always has good mail.

Spargo is a bad sub. No versatility and he’s a low possession player at the best of times. My guess is Hibbo will be sub if he isn’t in the team. Or Laurie again.

Is it even a final if I haven’t had 10 mental breakdowns?!

Who else feels like throwing up?

What did his partner do, other than carry the child for 9 months then ruin her body to get it out? Pffft Joel is clearly the hero here for turning up to the birth, and then playing footy.

Congratulations to Joel and his partner. What great news and I’ll even excuse him missing training!

Uni by correspondence from jail? I'm all in on the stereotype. Hope you all have your cheese platters ready for tomorrow!

A Collingwood supporting one? Must be really struggling for business. Not many teeth amongst his target audience.

Tmac staring down a possible second premiership medal. At his age and with the state of his body, he would be silly not to relish this chance and leave nothing out there. He has absolutely nobody pushing for his role either, unless Ben Brown can get a knee replacement done in a week. So no fear of messing up and losing his spot.

Are you trying to kill me?

Gees what a good report. I've never been less confident of kicking a winning score!

Could be a sniffle, a family emergency, food poisoning. I believe his partner is pregnant, maybe she's in labour? Am I worried? No. I am not worried. I never worry

Didn't need to watch that to know he won't play.

Apparently the AFL couldn't organise anyone to attend the hearing so it got pushed out to this week. Imagine this level of contempt being shown to a big name player from a big club!!!

Paging @Dannyz - any Smith news?

Any word on why?? Would be a great sub. Disappointing if he's once again injured at the wrong time.

Reasonably well? What does that mean?

Any photos of the invisible moonboot?

I should have wagged work. I am not productive at all. Tomorrow will be worse, but I have meetings I need to be switched on for. At least they are in the morning, so I can take an early mark and sneak out. My boss is going to line up for MCC walk ups, so I'm safe.
