Take this purely as gossip community, my best mate was at the Footy Show last night and said Rockliff was walking around with a bit of a limp during the ad breaks. We've both retained Rockliff in all forms, so am obviously rooting for him to have a big game this Saturday, but just something to be wary of. Really hoping him and Stef come out breathing fire...

Geez that would be a kick in the pants if he was to miss again after holding him for 2 weeks...especially at this stage of the year.

Only have the man of seeds tonight.
I corrected him last weekend to make sure I got McD-Tipps 106 with E on him. This also increased cash flow I used to then also trade Milera out for Parker. The man of seeds scored an underwhelming 57 last week. I felt like correcting him after round one but last weekend ended up the ideal time to do it. Seems like all the mid priced backline players of Lonergan, Sheridan, Seedsman and Trent McKenzie has not worked for anyone.
Feels good to have avoided being forced to be deal with what to do with Seedsman and Milera tonight. No Hawks or Crows players for me and can sit back and enjoy the game. Should be a good one tonight.

Tim Hipsley ✔ ‎@TimHipsley
Could Josh Kennedy be a late withdrawal for the @sydneyswans clash with @WestCoastEagles? Just left club early with achilles strapped. #afl

Talking about JPK, not JJK
Hmmm. Thanks for this ... Had traded in JPK this week for S.Gray ... Time to rethink

What was an underwhelming 57 last week will be an unbelievable 157 tonight...should have backed me in!

he he. You gotta get more of the ball mate.
I like your running style and dash but not your SC scores.
Best you ever scored is 145.
You have 4 scores of over a ton in a 49 game career.
I looked at your numbers closely after round one and thought what was I doing picking you in first place?
Seems like you get lots of scores between 50's and 80's. I lost my faith in you pretty quick.
Sorry mate.

I just heard that Petracca is supposedly in for Sunday's game, a members email confirmed his inclusion. Can anyone else verify/confirm it?

The question I have is if he is your best mate why didn't he get you a ticket as well? :p

Obviously i I don't have rocky.:)

I'll stick with you mate, 4 rounds under your belt with your new teammates should have you ready to fire. :rolleyes:

If Petracca is in then an academy award should go to Paul Roos as leading actor with Petracca and Garland as best supporting.

Roos has stated that Petracca will only play if Garlett doesn't get up. Garlett trained strongly today and looks a certainty to play.

There is an image of Petracca and Garland leaving training early with Garland's arm around Petracca.

Some damn fine acting by all involved if Petracca ends up getting named.

I saw all that in the H/Sun too, in the Garland pic Petracca had his head bowed down too as if he had missed selection. I haven't been able to find anything else yet to confirm it, I guess we will find out for sure once the final teams are named just after 5pm tonight

What's the story with the GC rucks? Nicholls just scored 126, and appears to have been dropped in favour of someone with less than 10 matches played ... against the best ruck in the competition? Surely not.
Nicholls has been rubbish. Getting lots of tackles which boosts his points. But honestly, Josh Walker was breaking even and even winning against Nicholls last week after Martin went down.

Make or break night for me! I have my two most POD premiums in Sauce Jacobs and Rory Sloane, plus Rory Laird.

I've just done quick stocktake, I have 20 beers in the fridge, 11 bottles of Red and a quarter of a bottle of Whisky. How much I consume over the night will be inversely proportional to how awesome my players are doing. I also have a few backup bottles of port in case it really all goes to hell!






*SCS encourages Responsible Drinking ;)
A beer for every effective hit out that Sauce produces tonight.
Nah, no fun in that. That should leave you with around 15 beers.
Very surprised the great Sauce Jacobs is still in your team after your little moment last Saturday night. :p

I'm really looking forward to this game tonight. I haven't seen Adelaide play this year. Finally a good Friday night game.
