Won't be raining (much if at all) today.

Yet they replaced 200cm x 110kg ruckmen with a 185cm x 85kg forward.

So the ONLY reason that Tippett COULD have been left out was because of the rain....that wasn't expected. :o

Perhaps....now stay with me here...perhaps they replaced him because he was carrying an injury and didn't come up. Shocking i know, but very much possible. ;)
He was listed as an out (hip).

EDIT: my emergencies list was incorrect.

Anyway....in replaceing him they had 3 choices on who they could choose as it has to be from your emergencies.

Those 3 choices to replace him were...

1. 187x85 Newman
2. 186x74 Hewitt
3. 181x71 Cunningham

Guess which one they chose.

Conspiracy theory much?!

If Tippett was injured, and you knew it, why would you name three medium / smalls as emergencies?

Maybe they don't have a backup for his position worthy of a spot on the list.

If Rowe was injured and a late out today....who could we pick to replace him like for like?

I don't buy that blokes like Darcy Cameron and Allir Allir don't make it as an emergency for a tall when you know in advance your 2nd Ruck and KPF has a hip injury.

There is one way to explain it, the hip injury is bullsh1t!

There are a lot more than 1 way to explain it.

Especially when your '1 way' is based on a weather forecast that didn't exist!

I'm not going to change your mind, so i'll just let you sit there, alone in your rubber room. ;)

The thought had crossed my mind. They have a lot of good players, maybe too many to be winless. But then again, I know sh1t.

So you think Sydney is tanking!

No. I think that they thought it wasn't worth the risk taking Tippett into the game with his body the way it was. Be that 50-50, 70-30 or whatever.

Weitering was under an injury cloud today. Did we have a cover for him in our emergencies?
Ditto Murphy.
Ditto Cripps.
Ditto Kreuzer.

You can't cover them all in your emergency list.

Bringing my son for his first Carlton game today.  Hopefully they put on a good show.

And your wish was granted. Hope the little guy had a ball.
