Discussion 2023 Round 2: Teams & In Game Discussion

[Pesci001]

Melbourne giving away too many silly free kicks

 

[Russty_]

McKenna sighting!

His D/E is slightly sharty

 

[Zoku Pops]

Clayton's ball use hurting his score tonight.

 

[Peter56]

 

[bluesbrothers]

Is it that hard to look when you kick Oliver!! Kicked it straight to Brisbane at least 4 times tonight

 

[Athomas]

Clayton's ball use hurting his score tonight.

So many clangers. I don't think particularly him kicking badly (they sure like horrible kicks) - just a lot of the time it ends in an effective kick when the Melbourne forward contests it... Not in that quarter

[N29]

Oliver making Taranto look like a good kick tonight.

 

[BigRuss]

Ah ****, I hope that isn’t an ACL. One of my favourite players.

 

[wogitalia]

Melbourne not ruling out ACL.

Most positive thing you can say is the test is a lot less reliable for those who've done them as whether it's the same knee (not in this case) or the comparison the previous injury does make it a bit less reliable.

That there was little pain is a really bad sign, having done a couple the ACL itself is pretty painless, it hurts like hell when you take other ligaments with it.

All the body language says they think it's an ACL and are just hoping it's not.

 

[7/11]

Wilmot lots of time off the field that quarter. Hopefully he doesn’t cop the red jacket, as I’d love him to at least outscore Cowan.

 

[xanderdom]

Dunkley 63
Neale 59
Ashcroft 50
Wilmot 37
McKenna 32

Lions lads are saving me. Missing Gawn's 120 minimum is going to hurt even more if I cop more under-performances.

 

[Ricky Bobby]

Sorry I broke Mckenna

Don’t worry. Dee’s will start getting it into the Fwd 50 a bit more in the 2nd half and McKenn will get more ball

I did ACL, medial and lateral meniscus the second time I had mine done. Felt like my leg exploded from the knee down

I feel awful liking this but as someone who's never done a serious knee injury I really do appreciate the perspective. I really hope it's not an ACL either but it's not a good sign is it!

 

[Claps]

Big turnaround after last weeks performance from the Lions

Wouldn't call it too early. It was the second half where Brisbane shat the bed.

Hope not, love Gawny and he's had more than his share of injuries.

Nothing I saw makes me feel remotely positive for the outcome unfortunately.

The question now for those of us with Gawn is whether to proceed with current trades or to reconsider and take into account Gawns injury

Ouch! How did you do that injury Russ?

True that. I did an ACL and played a few weeks later 😀


Back to supercoach, anyone know how many of the top 50, 100, 1000 have Gawn?

I've got the same 5. only just dawned on me how many lions I've got in my team.
