Round 21 General Chat and Dribble

[carey]

Anyone at the ground seen Eddie?

Morris is just toweling him down after his bath.

Carey come for a drink

Where are you?

[Red Rocket]

Premiership favourites will be lucky to make the 8 now.
Fantastic day with the shame of South Australia being knocked out of the SANFL finals race and now this.
Love seeing this despicable club getting done over.
Where are the Eddie lovers, Pura Milk are looking for a photo of him to stick on their cartons

[the joker]

On the bright side. Collingwood kept the crows season alive.
West coast in the box seat to finish 8th now

Gee Collingwoods night couldn't get any worse!

Cloke, Reid and Beams all gone for the year some doubt over Pendels and got smashed by Brisbane.

Beams a chance for next week- just a hyper-extension. They will do whatever it takes to get him up given they are a mathematical chance for the 8.

Reid gone and unsure about cloke though.

Reckon the AFL should look at allowing unlimited subs. The best players would still be in the game, no way would you be seeing wholesale changes to teams in the second halves simply for fresh legs. But you'd never get a situation where injury forced teams to go 19 v 21 for over a half. We had a suns player trotting around badly hurt, can't imagine it helped the injury but what choice was there? They needed a win and were already short on the bench. I can only see it as good from a player welfare perspective, keeps the game fair which is in everyone's best interests and if it means a few strategic changes during the games then what harm can that do?

Besides players sitting on a bench not getting a game or limited game time, somehow 4 on a bench not being enough, let's completely change the fabric of the game as it's not basketball or gridiron ... nothing wrong with the idea.

To be fair he is also paid more then 4 teams

Was mentioned at the footy today that Patton may have done his knee today, anyone confirm this?

He went down and the commentators seemed to fear the worst. The app I follow the scores on later said he was jogging along the sidelines

He went down in a marking contest in a lot of pain. He did get up and jog off. Went to the rooms but was seen jogging along the boundary (as JK said) not long after. Mate and I both said that when he crashed down that normally ACL's don't cause that pain - not that both of us would know. So we'd both be surprised if he'd done it.

My guess, medial ligament. I did mine and it felt like I'd been stabbed with a hot knife.

Awesome game in the West

[Q.]

Are Melbourne supporters booing their team?

[Red Rocket]

Are Melbourne supporters booing their team?

If they aren't they should be.
Have only seen patches but they are garbage. Absolute rabble of a club. Giants have lost 3 to injury and are still mauling them.
Roos' boring as bat shit game plan works with a decent side but not these scrubbers. What supporter would want to go and watch their side kick 3 goals for the day against GWS?
1.12 after quarter time, pathetic!!!

[Rik E Boy]

Melbourne, just fold already.

regards,

REB

[Jim05]

Giants have pretty much avoided the spoon

[Jim05]

Confirmed ACL to Patton, poor bloke.
Plenty of rumours regarding the Dogs offering him a huge multi year deal, would imagine thats off the table now.
