    Match Committee 6 July

    Longmire: The first thing on the agenda is Millsy. So how?s he doing Doc?
    Doc: He seems okay. He?s running well and is in good spirits.
    Longmire: That?s great. So Millsy is in this week.
    Doc: The only problem is that Mills thinks he?s a chicken.
    Longmire: A chicken? Well, that?s almost a Swan. They?re both birds. Right?
    Doc: Swans and chickens share 97% of the same DNA, but it is unusual that a man thinks he?s a chicken. I?m not sure if he?s quite right to play.
    Longmire: 97%! Well, then he?s only got 3% to go till he?s 100%. He can get there by Saturday. I?m sure.
    Kirk: I was wondering why Rohan was chasing Millsy all around the place during training. Those 2 have been inseparable since Millsy got knocked out. It could be a problem in the game.
    Longmire: We can fix that easy. We?ll play them both together on the wing.
    Blakey: Yeah! BT will call it the Chicken Wing! You?ll be a legend for Horse?s Chicken Wing. You?ll be Coach of The Year again for sure.
    Longmire: You?ve got a job here forever John, even if your kid goes to North Melbourne. Well now that we?ve got that settled we can decide on any changes for the game. I think we should bring Sinkers back this week. What do you say Macca?
    Playfair: I?m not McVeigh. I?m Henry Playfair, but you can call me Hank.
    Longmire: Who?
    Playfair: Henry Playfair. I?m an assistant coach.
    Longmire: How come I never saw you before?
    Playfair: Maybe it?s because I?m the coach behind those big foamy things that the ruckmen jump into during training.
    Longmire: You mean that drill when the ruckman usually sprains his ankle or his medial ligament?
    Playfair: Yeah. That?s the drill. I was surprised you never got angry at me about those injuries.
    Longmire: Angry? Why would I get angry about something like that? If they don?t get injured we could never justify paying 20% of a salary cap on ruckmen.
    Playfair: Yeah! Good point Horse. I?m still surprised how you got me mixed up with McVeigh. Didn?t you notice that I?m much taller and heavier than McVeigh?
    Longmire: I thought it was just Macca?s inflated ego that made him look so big.
    Kirk: Could we move on. I?m a bit pressed for time. I?ve got an audience in 15 minutes with the

    Longmire: Okay. Then it?s settled. Sinkers in for Florent.
    Harley: What do we put down as the reason for Florent?s omission? If we put Omitted, he?ll lose confidence.
    Longmire: Okay then, put down sexual harassment. So I guess that does it
    Harley: Not yet. I just got a text message from Ludwig.
    Longmire: Aaaaarghh!! Not him again! Why can?t we ever get through a meeting without Ludwig putting his 2 cents in?
    Harley: He?s very well connected. He went to the same private school as Andrew Pridham.
    Longmire: Alright. Let?s get it over with. What does it say?
    Harley: It says ?If we play Sinclair, we are well and truly French Sealed.?
    Longmire: What the ?? What does that mean?
    Harley: I don?t know. It?s a coded message. He?s just being cautious, I guess. So many hackers these days.
    Longmire: Why does he have to send coded messages? Who cares if Rodney Eade sees his message? We?re not going to listen to Ludwig anyway.
    Harley: Let?s not be too rash now. Let?s get it decoded first. I don?t think he?s worried about Rodney.
    Longmire: What is it then?
    Harley: The RWO Mods.
    Longmire: Does Ludwig think we have Alan Turing on our staff? This is not going to be easy.
    Kirk: Why don?t we get Ben Ronke to decode the message? I?ve got a strong vibe that he?s the reincarnation of Alan Turing. Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

    Longmire: We can?t wait. The AFL deadline is close. We?ve got to get the changes in now. I?m the head coach around here ??????.
    Harley, (under his breath): In name only.
    Longmire: ???. and I say its Sinkers in, Florent out.
    Harley: Wait! I just got a new tweet. It says @TheRealHorseLongmire is overated. Ratings way down. Fake Coach. Sad!
    Longmire: I?ve had enough of this. My word is final. We?re done here.

      If there were any doubt over Smith taking his place I'd have thought Marsh would be named as an emergency. He seems the best equipped reserves player to play on smaller, zippy forwards.

      All those "outs" for the Suns are pretty significant. Last time I watched the Gold Coast (probably a few weeks ago), the commentators were raving about Leslie and what a fine job he was doing in a key defensive role. Maybe they don't think there's a match up for him this week.

      If you compare who've they replaced Ablett and Hanley with, that's a sharp drop in experience.
      Two massive outs for them in terms of quick ball movement. Hope we don't subcosciously relax because they are missing, especially Ablett. Must keep up ferocity from first bounce.

        It gives Eade the ability to bring in another tall defender if needed to combat the likes of Sydney forwards Lance Franklin, Sam Reid and Gary Rohan. ?We may name an injured player with the view that we will see how their side lines up,? Eade said. ?It?s just about the match up.? "
        My interpretation of that was they would see whether we would bring Sinclair back into the team or not. Given we didn't I don't expect them to bring Leslie back in.

            BIG outs for the already depleted SUNS, home game, home fans deserve a relaxed time at the footy, peddle to the metal from first bounce and build some %.

            Not the danger game it was at 6.24pm tonight. Notice the Suns went from $6.50 to $9 in an instance.

              From now on I'm thinking of him as Turing, although I am aware that he is a rookie so doesn't come into calculations yet.

                Do you think he can decipher what Reece Shaw is really saying?

                      Going into this match, I'm sort of glad that we are just outside of the eight. That is, with the Suns missing Ablett, Hanley, Kolodjashnij, Hall, Matera and others, I think that there would be a real chance that complacency would be a problem, if our position wasn't still insecure. As it is, I expect this game to be a percentage booster.

                        There really are no easy games this year, but Gablett being out definitely makes this easier. Hopefully the 0-6 start and not being in the 8 means the Swans won't be complacent.

                              I expect that we'll win comfortably but I wouldn't have minded seeing Gary Jnr play.
                              In a two team town we don't get to see the absolute guns from the other teams play live very often.
                              Watching Dangerfield last weekend at Spotless was mesmerizing. You see these guys all the time
                              on TV, and you know they are ridiculously good, but seeing them at a game from twenty metres
                              away when they are on song is another thing again. If we are to get anywhere this season eventually
                              we are going to have to take on and beat the best from the likes of Adelaide, GWS & Geelong.
