Too many journalists reading Bigfooty from the sounds of that press conference

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Clarkson: Yeah, we're intending to pick Tristan on the weekend.
question about Warlord
Reporter: Yeah, but, there was rumours that Tristan is definitely ruled out, what do you say to that.
Clarkson: Yeah, I said we're picking him on the weekend unless something goes wrong.
another question
Reporter: Okay, so back to Tristan.
Clarko: For **** sake mate, I said we're picking him.



Where do they find these braindead campaigners?

Excuse me giantroo, just wondering if you've got, or can get, an infocus bit of vision from when Xerri hit the deck on the hbf after the ball up, about 20 minutes into the 1st quarter. After the stoppage he was seen hurting on all fours. The tele vision, is a bit iffy even frame by frame .... I bet that Grubdy fella was up to something.

 

[Horizons_00]

Xerri is absolutely sore or injured.

That’s where the issues started tbh. He is so crucial to our structure and you can see he can barely get out of second gear.

He usually has great second efforts and tackling pressure. Unfortunately he is cooked and idk how we gonna replace him if we had too?

 

[muttley45]

No way X is anywhere near 100% fit

He hit him twice in the solar plexus with his elbow within about 5 or 10 minutes.

 

[archereleven]

X is hurting.
We either let him heal or burn him into the ground by the bye.

Yeah that too, but X doesn't just crumple on the ground for nowt.

If you get the right spot in between someones ribs you can really **** them up.

Yep, but I specifically after that moment, not the long list of that ponytailed horses hoof and his never penalised elbows

How often does a ruckman actually get pinged for the 1m rule before a ruck contest...

 

[apollo_creed]

Not questioning his effort or his form since last season but he is a shit mark. Nothing neat about the way he does anything, he just uses his size and competes. Doesn’t have anywhere near the polish of Goldstein who made our midfield better than Xerri does.

Ump lost patience, told him 3 times

He’s playing sore

 

[ChopChopDigDig]

Umps absolutely crucified him tonight. He was a scragged all game and every 50/50 went against him.

It was like watching the Coxtopus being umpired by Dean Margetts tonight.

 

[tazaa]

He is not 100%.
Dont think hes someone who can play injured.

His hands have not been working all year.
Grundy is a bitch of a ruckman and he more than held his own tonight.

Something aint right.

 

[Only Forwards]

I would be sending the umpires a please explain on some of the ruck decisions and that Grundy was able to belt him multiple times behind play.

X is clearly playing under duress. It’s all good though we have absolutely nothing behind him. If he get properly injured, we’re f***ed.

 

[Chadwiko]

Clearly not 100% because he's not playing anywhere close to his usual standard.

Took a measly 1 mark for the entire game today, and only got the footy 9 times.

We badly miss his contributions around the ground as a marking link-up option and it just wasn't there today.

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Criminal how he is getting reemed by the umpires.

Opposition rucks are trying to block and engage him at every chance, he wins the strength battle but gets called from blocking even though he isn’t the player actively engaging.

It’s ****ing infuriating.

 

[Bipolar Bear]

Interesting that you lot are saying that, seems like he's got some lower back thing going on the way he's plodding about. He's certainly not right.

 

[bennymate]

Monkey's had a stroke and he is playing injured, expect X to be off for a bit.

 

[amaz199]

Playing injured 100%. 6 day break as well coming up.

 

[Luke72]

Playing injured 100%. 6 day break as well coming up.

If that’s a fact they need to rest him. It’s no good for him or the team. Give Goad a go for a week and X can return in full flight.
