There is a part 1 but it was more about the history and rivalry with more BS....

Nothing wrong with anything they said, all true. Scathing of Cripps and probably spot on.

I'm also in the camp that think Jack will play and Pitto won't. ;)
I hope you're wrong. We'll be in diabolical trouble with Pittonet. But I tend to be conservative when it comes to picking players who might not be 100%, so you could well be right.
Live Long and Prosper!

Another game lost at selection.  The Martin selection is a sick joke....another gifted game where he'll do F all (like usual) and get injured again.  Selection integrity...what's that !?!
DrE is no more... you ok with that harmonica man?

Prof, The old saying is a drowning man will cling onto a serpent and I reckon Martins selection is more a reflection on the alternatives and the MC and coach are plain desperate, and hoping Martin will provide one of his rare good games.

I agree with you, EB1.  We have Martin and Williams unfit week after week, senior players who are constantly playing below their best, the usual number of injuries that occur during the year, and too many B grade players who are really C grade on a good day - list cloggers.

The MC has lost flexibility in selecting a team each week.  I think while there is even a remote chance of making the finals it will take a conservative approach to team selection.

the whole side is in poor condition.

Not sure where the targeting of individuals with catastrophic injuries gets us when we look like we are running around with bricks for shoes.

As I said weeks, ago, he should have done the honourable thing and retired so that we could have at least maybe picked up someone with a "football pulse" in the mid season draft. Anyone with two functioning arms and matching legs would have been fine.

100%. I can understand him trying to get back but we carry a truckload of dead weight in our list and it's broken the club.  We're really playing with a list of about 25 with about 15 passengers

Marchbank should be delisted at season's end. If he miraculously gets up and plays at another club, so be it.....but 50 odd games of footy in 8 seasons says enough.

Draper and Wright vs De Koning and Silvagni / Young. Already behind the eight ball.

Saw Brad of the piranha twins interviewed on tv and he was talking about how they expected us to come out really firing. I think he will have them ready to serve it up to us with the hope of upsetting us. Be interesting to see how things pan out.
