What

Carlton a huge danger game. They will beat us unless we get a couple of Watts, Garlett and Hogan back.

T Mac, easily. He has played like a true leader lately.

In a season where its wide open, we sit in a good position ladder and % and even have pundits saying we will win the flag.. we get smashed to pieces by injuries to our best players. Its just so [censored] typical. It will take something special to make the finals from here. No team can cover the loss of players the calibre of Viney, Watts, Garlett, Hogan, Jones, Salem, Brayshaw etc etc... and might need to chuck in Tyson now too. Who knows when any of them will be back.

Better hope Watts, Garlett and Hogan are ready. We are depleted and Carlton will throw everything at us, backing themselves in for a win.

Gawn to Petracca Better than sex

Mills out for the game I love Buggy

Infuriating.

Nah hes an annoying [censored]. And worse than that, a virtue signaling SJW.

Sydney dont scare me, they are an average team and were lucky to get out of jail last week against Essendrug on their home turf. What does bother me are all the stars we have out combined with playing 4 games in 18 days, a result of the tail end of three 6 day breaks. Demons by 17

12 is the magic number. 11 wins won't get you a finals spot. Go run the ladder predictor with as many different scenarios as possible, and you wont find one where 11 wins gets you in.

Waste of time - unlike Jason Johansen, Hunt is tough as nails and he will give as good as he gets.

Is Joel Smith back?

Wagner and White off half back? Hibberd to the midfield? Hunt up forward to replace Jeffy? Goody has something up his sleeve!

In the team for tomorrow night.

Wow, never thought I'd see Mitch WHite make it back into the seniors as hes so far down the pecking order. I do like what he has showed in his brief time at AFL level in the past though.

"With finals all but assured," Wow, I cant believe this. Someone tell this guy we are 2 games from 12th spot, smashed by injuries and anything can happen. Yeah we should make finals, but saying it is assured is pure insanity.

Bold prediction - Both Melbourne and GWS will score the magical 200 points in a game in 2018. GWS will do it twice.

Thats a nice looking number. Maybe its the pretty colours.

The ins (Watts, Garlett, Hogan) next week vs Carlton are going to look very, very nice. Especially considering we will be coming off 5 straight wins. Yes we will beat Sydney.

Jack Viney at pick 26 Priase the universe for the father son rule

Kent would have to be a certainty, you need to replace Garlett with a small forward, its vital to our gameplan. Unless Dion Johnstone is called up for a shock debut, Kent is in. In - Kent, Wagner Out - Salem, Garlett Would love to find a spot for JKH, but theres no clear opening and he can not play as a small forward.

I feel for McCartin, its almost an identical situation as Angus Brayshaw. The top 3 of that draft have all had serious hurdles, with Petracca doing his ACL. Which strangely enough, is the less serious situation of the three and hes back playing and looking amazing. That was just about a career ending injury 30 years ago, now players can come back better than ever from an ACL, Meanwhile concussions are treated much more serious these days, and repeated concussions are now career threatening (or career stalling at the least).

Dom is a very good player, hes too maligned around these parts. Id like him to kick more goals though, as he showed he was capable of that in his first season with us. He should be like Stephen Powell circa 2000, if I recall correctly he averaged something like 25 possies and kicked 30 goals in our Grand FInal season. Like Dom, he wasnt the most polished with his foot skills but he was a lefty who loved a goal and was a weapon for us.

Deserves 6 weeks for trying to worm out of it behind 'character references'. Take your punishment like a man.

No Garlett, Watts, Jones, Hogan, Salem.... You could argue they are our 5 most important players, Gawn excluded. Sydneys injury list is empty. This will be a greater win than last week if we get up.
