Yeah but whatabout your whataboutism.

6 day break but the pies flying back from Perth tonight.

We flew back from Perth too and won.

We won't win next week, but we'll give it a crack and hopefully won't be blown away.

Bolton: I'm pretty confident @patrickcripps will be fine for Collingwood next week. #BoundByBlue

Until each team plays each other the same number of times, the AFL, as a fair dinkum competition, cannot be taken seriously.

He (Mr Swann) said the honour and pride associated with the club's traditional navy blue jumper was priceless.

The MC will earn their keep this week:

- Walker, Boekhorst, Buckley, Cripps and C.Curnow all supposedly in the mix to return to AFL or VFL level next week
- Everitt and DVR supposedly pushing for selection
- Jones, Graham, Phillips and Kreuzer all solid, but all lacking a killer punch on current form
- Levi provided an outlet but playing mind games with himself with every shot on goal
- Weitering in doubt

Right now I'm thinking:

Out: White, Casboult, Graham
In: Boekhorst, Walker, Cripps

If weitering plays against pies...sack andrew mckay..
Weitering has hurt his hand rd 2 and 3?
Stinger rd 5
Concussion and shoulder rd 6

For xxx sake...rest him for 4 weeks

mckay says weitering out for a couple, hopefully they will give him a bit longer to recover fully, unlike what ratts did to kruezer. a partial dislocation is not good, and we dont want to have him end up like jamo or walks with continual shoulder problems, he is far too valuable for the future

i wouldnt rush cripps back in either - he will have years to continually beat collingwood

this may open the door for jamo to come back, or everitt to play in the backline. or white may keep his spot, and everitt can come in for levi

i think levi needs to go, 2 oof this week will kill momentum, and eventually cost us a game. he kicks very well around the ground, so its clearly all mental. bolts needs to fix this, it is getting beyond farcical

you dont want to drop phillips this week?

Before McKay even mentioned 'up to two weeks', he said Weitering could possibly even come back next week depending on what's on the scans and how well the swelling goes down.

They don't know right now, but they think it went back in without issue.

Don't let that get in the way of the medical armchair experts

Weitering needs two minimum

If I want your opinion, I'll give it to you!

We need Walker back asap in that forward line

Is Casboult any chance to play in the backline? Or is he too slow to keep up with the forwards on a lead?

His kicking for goal is past the point of being rectified, absolutely f*cking woeful.

Cripps could have played today but they didn't want to risk it. If he's passed fit he's good to play, don't know why so many here are treating our players like children.

in: cripps, walker
out: weitering.....??

Casbolt still pretty useful around the ground - some good grabs that got us out of jail today. I think he is more of an asset overall than Jones. Graham also ok (22 touches and 8 tackles)

not sure who to drop if charlie is good to go.
