No TMac this week

No TMac this week

Really sad but to be expected. Won't be back this side of the bye for sure

 

[S120]

Big jobs for Melican and Francis to take McKay and Curnow this Friday. And we're gonna need Rampe and Blakey putting in some big shifts to help them both out in the air.

We'll be benefited by being at the SCG because playing them without McCartin at the 'G with the extra space in their forward line would be a very difficult challenge.

 

[ITCHY EYEBALLS]

Took a wander through the Blues preview thread. Very sane and logical stuff. Worried about the right things and hoping to get their own stuff right.

Its because we respect your club.
The way you play
The way you're coached
Your ability to challenge every year

No TMac this week

oh but bedford said he was ok

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

Because we are 8-1 thats the only reason.

Spot on I reckon

Haha … there is SfA chat on radio about our mob. Love it.

Pity there are a couple of *head callers on Melbourne radio whining about it.

 

[The King!]

No Mccartin might make the Blues favourites with their talls

Doesn't Mccartin get towled up by Curnow everytime anyway?

Regardless, I think it all comes down to team defence and blocking the drop of the ball with the spare. As long as we don't have both towers jumping freely at the ball we should be ok. Hope Blakey eats some extra weetbix this week because can see him being the meat in lots of sandwiches.

 

[bedford]

No TMac this week

Hasn't got any symptoms , poor reporting by a soccer journo

 

[Millky95]

Reckon whoever Weitering goes to will almost have to be a decoy otherwise he will mark everything

Kept Curnow to 1.0 in the elim
Melican kept Mackay to 0.2

More accurate than your reporting

All the best for TMc we need him

Everyone drinking the Blues cool aid or what

Not at all , i said they might take the cautious approach didn't i !

 

[ashep]

Not at all , i said they might take the cautious approach didn't i !

To be fair, you did say that he would play unless he didn't.

 

[kickthething]

oh but bedford said he was ok

Tbf Longmire also said he was OK they are just going to be conservative.

 

[kickthething]

Kept Curnow to 1.0 in the elim
Melican kept Mackay to 0.2

The umps however got stuck in the fairytale…

 

[The King!]

I'm just stirring the great man

I just like being the underdog

Yep Meli on big Harry, but despite the size difference I reckon Rampe would do better on Curnow. Francis’ lack of speed would be a big issue with marking Charlie

Even Horse said he was fine, they were just being cautious

 

[Nuggetz]

Is there a mandatory stand down period if they fail the HIA? In NRL it's 11 days (i think).

 

[The King!]

If we win the midfield the defence is fine.

Stop Walsh and Cripps

 

[JackHiscoxWasFast]

I just read on the Carlton board that Harry is fast, very fast. He runs 2km in 6:30. That is fast, very fast - not Jack Hiscox fast but we will need our fastest defender on him.

I like fast players.

 

[The King!]

I just think that Carlton match up really well against us. They bother me as an opponent , nervous this week.
