What

"It appears a microwave has been thrown on to the ground."

Hibberd hasnt played in over 18 months.. An unproven Tim Smiths returns for just his 2nd game, plus JKH who hasnt played an AFL game since 2015. This will be a hell of a win if we roll them, make no mistake.

Win this game, then get an already tired Essendon who will be coming off a 4 day break. No excuses, its time to start WINNING.

I have never stopped to think exactly what happens in a concussion. If that image is accurate it is scary. I can see why it can do serious long term damage, why some retire early and why head high contact is now taken more seriously than ever. Might watch a video on concussion and get educated.

20 touches and 3 scoring shots for Dion Johnstone. Can anyone who was at the game tell us how he looked in action? Looking forward to watching his development.

You nailed it. They have nobody to stand up when the heat is on, which is an huge indictment on them considering they have the 2nd oldest list in the AFL.

Win tomorrow night and we are equal 6th, just one game from third spot on the ladder.

They are reliant on us missing Max Gawn. We would obliterate them if he was available (not to mention Lewis.)

Saints are gonna lose, excellent for us. As much as I hate Geelong they are gonna finish top 4.. still have many games left at the Cattery.

Saints in the same position we were vs Geelong at the end of the third quarter. Gonna be frustrating if they roll them when we couldnt get the job done.

Saints a direct rival to us in the race for the 8, we need them to lose just like we needed Freo to lose last night.

Wouldnt get a touch on Melksham, dont worry.

Would take Buggy in the team any day ahead of Melk, and I bet he could play the same role much better. If Melksham has another poor game and isnt dropped, serious questions will have to be asked. We will see tomorrow night.

Bugg back in to pester the [censored] out of Essendrug please.

Needed North to win that. We will be in direct competition with Freo in the race for the 8.

Theres a fair chance this match could be a shootout between ether sides smalls. Thought Kent would thrive in that climate. Anyways, Vlaustin is a big out or them - their 2nd best lock down player after Rance and one of their toughest few. A couple of Tiger supporters at PuntRoadEnd forum are saying they cant win now lol

Melksham is on his last chance this week surely. He has been woeful. Dean Kent out really sucks, this is the exact kind of game he would have excelled in. Disappointing.

Same clown that always looks after them - Mike Fitzpatrick.

Could Tim Smith play the Vandenberg forward role? He looked good playing up the field on the weekend for Casey, not sure he has the tank though

Doubt they will risk him , groins are not to be messed with and since its a Monday game theyd need to get him up for the game after (Sat or sun.) If they play him with a sore groin and he aggravates it, the microwaves will be on overdrive at Punt Rd.

They can rest Riewoldt too, then it will be even with Gawn and Lewis out. Anyways, great to see Hibberd will be making his MFC debut. I hope Melksham is rested, not only is he out of form but its a risk playing them both after their year out of the game (just look at Essendon the last two weeks carrying all those banned players who look cooked).

God a bad feeling he is Goodys pet. I sure hope not though, as no coach should ever play favorites especially with such an average player coming off a shocker.

Didnt the weapon and Dank work at the Cats while Bomber was the senior coach? He would know them better than anyone. Zero sympathy.

it is absolutely understandable to want the Pies to win. I will cheer for anyone thats playing against Essendrug.

Martin must be a a chance to miss.
