Pre Match: Pies v. Suns - all comments please

[Pies 08]

Jolly has an "illness" that will see him play his 200th game next weekend in front of 80,000 at the MCG.

I'm surprised they didn't rest Pendles. Maybe subbed when we get 10 goals up.

Cloke could have been rested except Dawes is out.

[Pies4shaw]

According to SEN, Pendles is having a fitness test this afternoon.

I also read on a few peoples comments on Facebook, that Daisy is to miss after cutting his hand severely at the airport???


Meh all this talk is shitting me. Honestly, IMHO, Pendles shouldn't miss... he's 23 or 24 he should be right... same with daisy.

[Deja Vu]

Agreed. Players in their prime shouldn't need to rest should they?

Remember how rusty Daisy was in the Sydney game after the 2 week rest for suspension and bye?

[Brenny]

I don't have any doubt the rest will do them well, but it also contradicts what Malthouse said earlier in the season about showing respect to the lower ranked teams and not resting players for that game just because it's the GCS.


Sorry, just not 100% with it, for some reason my 'sarcasm' indicator light up. hahaha.

Hope he plays. I reckon he is a legitimate Brownlow chance this year.
This is one of those games he could dominate.

If there is any doubt over his fitness (shoulder) which obviously there is then he shouldn't play.

Missing a game against the GC aint of much importance in the whole scheme of things.

[Piethagoras' Theorem]

rest, no rest.. what would we bloody know?

[Joel]

There is a photo of Daisy with Harry taken at the airport (on Harry's twitter) while they were waiting to take off. He looked alright in that. Probably BS.

Ahuh, but we've already made four changes. Which worries me tbh, I was looking at two if we were resting players, maybe 3 if we were going to omit a player (happened to be Rounds). Five changes? Six changes? Don't flirt with form, and we have other games that players can be 'rested' in coming up, if so required.

[Tannin]

Actually, I don't especially care if GC win. We are so far in front of the pack that a loss simply doesn't matter and even if Geelong were to go past us into top spot it still wouldn't matter. Secondly, another win to Gold Coast would pretty much seal it that the 2011 wooden spoon will go to Brisbane or Port, and either outcome is something to celebrate.

[Raw Hammer]

Went to training ... Metricon is pretty darn small.

All trained. All will play.

[Scotch]

Losing to GCS wouldn't mean anything, and the media could hardly say much about it (except the hardcore Pies haters who will always find something to talk about anyway). But hell... I want to smash them anyway!

Also ty for the info hammer.

[swoop42]

^Bloody hell I wouldn't want to lose to them.

That would be an embarrasing disaster.

Pendlebury or no Pendlebury I'm expecting to win and well.
