Good scoop EB

3AW 6pm news: Stevens almost certain to MISS.

Who to believe????

If it was me, I'd go to the wedding.

If it was me, I would have avoided the clash and made sure he knew not to pick a football weekend.

Unfortunately he has a duty to play

7pm news: Decision to be made tomorrow.

I wouldn't pay any attention to anything said tonight...He'll make his descision tomorrow and frankly while i will be a bit disappointed if he doesnt play, im not worried as it will give the likes Simmo and Walker to really show what they are capable of...We aren't a one man team...We'll win...Stevens or no Stevens...

BRING ON THE EAGLES!!
GO BLUES!!!!

If it was me I'd send Wayne Carey up there to hang around my brother's fiancee for the rest of the week. Hopefully the whole wedding could be cancelled ... and it would serve him right for scheduling it during the football year.

I mean, he's on staff, we may as well get some extra use out of him ....

If I am a footballer then my job is to play the games that are there to play.
If it is a non consequential match then I think go to the coach and ask- and if given the green light go to the wedding.

This is not an inconsequential match for all sorts of reasons- he must play!

he captained the club just last week, so it's not a great example to not be playing in the GF this week.


he's in a difficult possition though

If he decides to put family first before a pre-season match then that's his decision. I wouldn't be too bothered if he decides to be best man, I just hope in the future that his family makes their plans with Nick's football responsibilities in mind.

It's Danny's chip on the shoulder about Denis delisting him at North.

Karma's a bitch ey.

We seem to forget that the real thing hasnt started yet.....Wether Calrton wins or loses the GF, its meaningless cuase most sides have not rated this comp highly, and most arent happy with its Formatt....

the way i see it, is just another practice game to improve our boys.. the Result to me is so irrelavant......

i would be very disapointed if Nick chose to play.. cuase honestly he doesnt need to..... His brother isnt getting married every day, so family has to come first....

lets not get Carried away Blue Baggers.. the Real Stuff starts in Round 1, dont forget that all teams take a higher Gear whent he real stuff begins and they all bring back their big Guns, so although we have enjoyed such amazing Success at the Wizard Cup, the season games are diferent and our boys will be tested, so lets all sit back and enjoy the game whilst we let Nick enjoy his time with his Family

As much as I want Nick Stevens to play it will say a lot for this club if he doesn't and we still get up and win. Carlton Mark 2002, 2003 and 2004 no chance but Carlton Mark 2005, !!!

Family is there forever football is for 15-17yrs. Stevens made an obligation to stand up at this brothers wedding he needs to fulfill it. Shouldnt be a shitcanin for this he is a brother and family member first.

Can smell the gf its there for the taking we are the form side

Like it or not, footy is employment for these guys, and he has just as much right to take personal leave for a family occasion as any of us do.

In a way I think him going to the wedding would be a great example to the young fells - a way of saying yes you may be rich and famous now but if you don't do the right thing now by your family you are going to end up a lonely old screwed up dropkick like Sam Newman.
