Changes vs Geelong

Plonkerfield is a little Delidio like now. Once those calves pop, they are very unreliable for stringing multiple games together,

Geelong will be waiting on our likely team selections. If Dusty is included don’t be surprised if Rodney Plonkerfield is held back for another week. They won’t want to risk his confidence being shattered again.
Spewing. .... just got new prescription glasses to watch tele and tried em out on Dustin's final goal of 2020...
I could see the veins on Flopperjobs head popping out as he was unceremoniously flung over the boundary.

Will undoubtedly remain amongst my greatest footy memories.

Need to get the band back together for a reenactment. .. the cats have at least kept Stanley on to play his role!

Have a look at the cats wheeling out the 'heavy training load' tripe.

What a fragile, inferior bunch of campaigners.

Not only do they have excuses after they lose, now they are offering them up preemptively!

Have gone past Essendon as my most hated club.

Bury them tiges.

We must win this one. We must channel the QF 2017. We must turn up in droves and boo them when they come out on the ground and cheer every possession of Dusty's. This is our launching pad to the finals.

Listening to Scott seems like there trying to copy us in previous years peaking running up to the finals. Made a hell of alot of excuses why the game was close against the Eagles.

Pilot Medical Update: Round 15, 2022​


Noah Balta, hamstring

"Noah suffered a hamstring injury late in the game. Across the far side from us, he was near the boundary line and there was a ball on the ground and he was paddling at it and trying to accelerate at the same time, which is a difficult position to be in for a big guy, and he suffered a very minor hamstring injury in that process. It's to the same leg as his previous injury a few weeks ago, but it is in a different spot. So, it's pretty frustrating for him and for us, and (it's from) a different mechanism, his previous injury was kicking and this is running and trying to pick up a ground ball. But, there is probably some link there somewhere with his reconditioning, so we're going to have to go back and do a little bit more work in the gym with his strength-specific work and his hamstring conditioning as well as the functional movements... He's already running today at a really good speed, so it's certainly not a long-term injury. But, we do need to tread lightly with it and be careful so that when he gets back next time, he stays back and plays the rest of the year for us."

Trent Cotchin, clavicle

"There was an incident near the goal square where Trent had to try and lay a tackle, and he ended up coming off quite sore through his clavicle, the bone through the chest. He's had some scans and it's showed he has a little crack in there which needs surgical repair and a plate put in there. So, he's having that done in the next day or so. He'll miss this week and we'll reassess beyond this week as to what that means. It's a little bit unfortunate, but we'll get him back as soon as we can."

Dustin Martin, illness

"He feels a lot better and he's back training with us. He was training with us on the weekend as well. It will be great to have him back this week and available for selection."

Robbie Tarrant, hand

"Robbie battled on through the whole game. It happened in the first couple of minutes, he cracked a knuckle in his hand and he's had to have some minor surgery to put a plate in that to reinforce it. He's a chance to play this week because we do have a longer week given the nine-day break. We'll make an assessment later in the week as to his availability, but it's looking more positive by the day and Robbie's pretty tough."

Have to agree H.
Clarke hasn’t done much wrong in his two games but we need pressure, real pressure forward. Would even consider somehow getting Stacky in for further forward pressure…..

Cotch is going to be a huge lose. Still a much loved leader of the club who will ‘bash’ his body for the RFC but we the ‘supporters’ see the value of this great of the club.

He loves playing against the Cats .
