    Unless anyone has a pic of Tippett in a yellow jersey I can't see he'd be dropped. Horse has said he's been building and he's needed for finals so, unless there's a niggle, I reckon he'll play.

      Tippo seems to be playing with more hunger and aggression similar to the start of last year when he was in AA form fingers crossed he stay injury free.

        That would run counter to the 'Law of the training guernsies' OR we are playing 3 ruckmen v Adelaide. Sinkers and Naismith both wearing red at training.

          Maybe, but I suspect that the law that we'll be following until the end of the season (our premiership win), is: if we have two fully fit ruckmen, then they shall play.

          I was going to add some riders to that law, but all the hypotheticals that I went through, ended up with Harry Cunningham battling it out with Steve Taubert for our final ruck spot.

            My theory about the training Guernseys is that some players were wearing red Guernseys because their yellow Guernseys were still in the laundry.

              Maybe the three travelling emergencies are also in red. They will have time to get to the Metricon for the NEAFL game Saturday morning.

                A new twist in the training Guernsey colour, exciting development! Need to see the vision of airport departure lounge now.

                      I suspect there's some truth to the training guernsey predictive method, but it's not foolproof.

                      It's been suggested before that ruckmen are exempt

                          My nerves are very nervous.
                          God I hope ruthless turns up.
                          Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.

                              I think I may have to take some blame. Sorry.

                                It's also important to note that everyone wears red until there is an opposed drill. Therefore, people seen in red only gain credibility when there are also people seen in yellow.
