Nope, he was traded to Adelaide last year

I agree. It seems Setanta has been told, or has learnt that he can fly for the pack marks, compete with his opponent, but keep out of the way of the amigos when their feeding.

We don't want a 6'6" giant scrapping for the same crumbs as the little fellas. The ideal situation would be for Setanta to bring it to ground, Eddie and Jeffy to collect it from the grass and either kick the goal or feed it out to Robbo, Judd, Murph or Gibbs to finish it off.

Someone needs to tell Setanta to stop playing on after a mark.

Reliable source on BF (molly1) says very unlikely Gibbs will play. Ratten's comment earlier about only taking fit players in basically rules a line through him anyway.

I watched the replay and noticed that too about Setanta. he's good at keeping his feet in a contest too, often his opponent will go to ground but he'll still be up. I still reckon we play better with him in the team to draw one of the bigger defenders away.

Haven't lost a game in that nancy Blue jumper yet -

I agree. I think they are really good points. Gives us a fighting chance. apparently Kerr is in doubt too.

1945 - End of round 3 Carlton was last.

Last round Carlton made the final four for the first time.

Eventual premiers.

That's what I'm talking about!

I was thinking we were well behind going in against West Coast.

But something has me a bit up and about for this game and I reckon an upset is on the cards. If the travel management is done right I reckon we could be a real show, a real go.

Carlton by 11 points.

Greg Swann on SEN said Gibbs is sore and doubts he will play but the injury isn't season ending.
Kreuzer's foot still not right, it goes numb when he runs. Doesn't sound like he'll play but I think Hampson is a better fit anyway.

The game against the Pies was a slugfest which may have left them a bit sore. But they will have had exposure to REAL finals pressure, something we didn't get. My concern is who they bashed us up last time and we didn't give a yelp and that they had a massive tackle count against the Pies, so they know how a tough game is played.

I think it will be a hard fought first half and if we've kept up or at leat no more than 12 points down we should still be able to go up a gear in the second.

Kerr, Shuey, Priddis, Masten (maybe) Selwood v Judd, Murf, Simmo, Carrots will be telling as it's probably the only real advantage we have over them.

A close result hopefully and a win to us is achievable.

Bloody hell, then stop stuffing around with him, draw a line through his season and get him right for next year. Too valuable to risk.

Gibbs will be a loss. I suspect he's one of those players who you don't fully appreciate until he's not in the team. Such a cool head out there, with excellent footskills. He'll leave a big gap. Hopefully he's right for the Prelim, and if not then for the GF against the pies.

Pretty sure that was what Swanny was saying..wouldn't expect him to play.

Yeah..if we did win... (imagine that!)..maybe...maybe Gibbs would be ready.He definitely didn't say 'season ending' but...have to admit..I thought Swanny sounded pretty flat today. Still..that could just be tiredness eh?

Doc Larkin's declares that it is not a sprained joint at all, but rather a sprine!! Thank heavens.

He may be taller and quicker than half our midfield but he has a turning circle of the titanic.

That's very good to hear...big loss if reports are correct. Gibbs has played 112 of a possible 113 games since drafted

I think they only kicked 9 goals in total for the game.

With Star Wars being released this week, I believe Swann and the Blues are playing their own Jedi-mind tricks re: Gibbs

I expect him to play..(no inside info, nor am i a doctor)..but I have never seen anyone do a shoulder and their first motion is to lift it above their heads (as Gibbs did)..will he be sore? Definately...but i dont think it will keep him out..

All year we have been told players will be selected that week (Waite was initially out for 1-2 as a prime example), yet this time we have gone completely the other way, and put a line through Gibbs on Monday!!

According to Doc Larkins:



Sounds OK to me.
