Changes Round 17 V Carlton

[Primmy]

I just ate a fortune cookie and the message was "there are upcoming changes in your life"

Oh I hate it when he does that! If BJ is out, .... and Mitch is injured ....... that would mean perhaps Tommy, TD, Shiggsy!! I'll say Shiggsy.

The named emergencies are membrey derrickx and Hewitt. So it would be one of those

Neighsayer.

Hay! It would be foally to ignore the possibility of a 'mare of a result with Dray playing for the opposition.

Wouldn't be surprised to see Derrickx come in, so Pyke can spend some time in the goal square.

This also frees up Reid to help out in defence.

I would much prefer to see Membrey, but doubt Horse and co would go this way.

I suspect you may be right as ugg said he didn't think derrickx played in the reserves at all

Page 17. And the gates won't open for another 6.5 hours.

We are all edgy because we are on 11, and the possibility of losing to Carlton because noone wins twelve in a row, especially the Swans, is palpably horrible. I think panic has set in amongst the redandwhiters. I recommend Rescue Remedy, Camomile Tea, or Valium.

Wow Aunty Val! That is really extreme. While we are there we can take a few Moggies, some Rohies, Serapax, Normies, Xanax or Mandies. That should make a good cocktail to keep us all calm and asleep for at least a century.

Tim says:

"Hey Ernie, I'm doin' everything the coach asks to get a game. I think I'm gettin' close."

I had to catch up on the last few pages of this thread and I am now exhausted.

Me too. All this horse@@@@ is mindboggling

Well I guess I can accept a Mitchell snub if he is injured! Lol. I'm happy for Towers to be given his chance because it would have been a shame to let him go without an opportunity to show his stuff in the senior side which might had been a possibility at the end of the season. I'm still shattered the Tom can't take a trick re: his body! Just when it looks like an opportunity arises for him to get back in the seniors, he gets another minor injury! But in saying that, we'll never really know if he would have been given a chance with selection committee's appeared obsession with players with genuine pace! Let's hope Tom can get himself right and in form for the rest of the year and put pressure on for another opportunity!

I'm sure Membrey will get his chance. He has been very good since he came here. He is still learning about pressure but will be better for it next year. Mitchell is a problem, he is injured so often. This is very worrying as he is a HUGE talent. somehow we have to get his body right. I was thinking that maybe he needs to see the surgeon about the knee and come back after an op. I don't know because I am not in possession of information about the state of his knee. I am just a bit worried that even before he was signed he has a history of injury. The ideal state would be to get his body completely right. Ther same applies to Kurt Tippett. He obviously should have had surgery in the off season but didn't and now he has problems and had to have an op in season. We need to manage these things better.

Auntie Val! Gave me a turn, she has not long departed my world.
Back on topic, I can't wait to yell out George's name. Harry, George, Smith and Jones. Gorgeous and prosaic names.

Oh excellent! And salute to Drey for taking his chances and running with them.

[aguy]

It's almost game time. I'm surprised no one has opened the match thread. Maybe everyone is at the ground or on their way ...

[troyjones2525]

B. Jack the sub again. At least we'll get to see what Towers has to offer!
