Jaded No More

Because it’s not an ankle it’s a mid foot injury according to Goody. Doesn’t mean it’s a lisfranc. It can’t be diagnosed until they get medical imaging done. It’s only a guessing game now. I am sure the dreaded injury report will be out soon enough to give us more bad news.

So Pies don’t pick and choose which quarter to be switched on? Did they forget to turn the light on the last fortnight? Did you watch the first half of the Carlton game yesterday? Hardly on fire. Saints were all over them and I rate the Saints on par with Freo and Hawks right now, but with a better tactical coach. Carlton do have a host of injuries that they’re covering really well and credit to them. This will be a hard game. So will the Hawks game, so will the Swans game. Every game is hard now. We are in better form than just about every contender. Carlton are also in very strong form, but they have beaten sides who are not elite in the contest. This game will come down to the contest and the midfield and I back us to be better in there for longer. Clarry back will help enormously. Viney and Trac played limited minutes in the guts yesterday so should be fresh. Carlton had to fight much harder to win yesterday than we did. We basically switched on for 2 quarters then took Gawny, Jack and Trac off in the last and just held off from any scoring eventuating. Very smart way to “rest” players. Petty out is a massive blow especially without Fritta. But if Clarry is back then Trac can spend more time forward. Kosi back in hot form also would scare Carlton. He has a track record of breaking their hearts after all.

Agreed. Considering the hammy was a repeat injury they’d be mad stupid to play him after only two weeks off.

Agreed. Smith doesn’t give you the leads that Petty does tho. The JVR Petty chemistry was so good God dammit why are we cursed?! MFCSS is so real 😭

Goodwin said it’s a mid foot injury. Not ankle?

Saturday night or Sunday the most likely. We play Sunday and Sydney play the Saturday the prior week.

Hibbo is a must for me in this game. His ground ball work is so good.

But Clarry is back. CLARRY!!!

He did not go hard enough in a few critical contests in the last and fumbled at crucial times. He was very good early but he had a terrible last quarter. He was also rucking against Daniher who is not a great ruckman. I bet you scream for ANB to be dropped when he fumbles 🙄

He was soft. For a guy earning more than Gawn, he needed to do more.

The deathride continues. Jackson spudded it up in the last.

Brisbane celebrating like they just won a grand final. Embarrassing. A great result. We are ahead of Brisbane AND Freo stuck in bottom 4. Jackson embarrassing in that quarter.

God Jackson doing some lazy soft things

Well done Sam Sturt. I have no idea who you are but I could kiss you.

Absolute rubbish from Freo. Expected nothing less.

Freo sucks. Brisbane better not cruise away with this now.

He’s desperate for Melbourne to get a home final 😂

This game is SO boring. Yet so important.

A draw would be good. And funny.

Jackson 🫠

You spoke to him? Goody said he needs a scan so how would he know it’s broken?

Freo are horrible

Go ask Petty how he’s feeling and tell Zeibel he’s been a royal pain in our behind for the 90 years he’s played and good riddance.

Both these sides look very ordinary
