Don't jinx us!

You often post about respecting opponents, then you lightly dismiss the opposition's prime battering ram.

BigH's main advantage is his mobility and acceleration for a player his size, a ruck injury could end all that.

If I'm not mistaken, BigH is a twin, and his twin brother Ben has already had two minor PCLs.

Who is the opposition’s prime battering ram; Soldo or the incapacitated Dixon?  As battering rams they are both nowhere near as destructive as Tom.

Ben doesn’t play in the ruck and Harry has more chance of suffering a PCL injury in a marking contest.  He doesn’t engage in knee up ruck contests but uses his size and strength to out manoeuvre his opponent.  That’s why he doesn’t bother with a shin guard.

I watched some footage of the presumptive GOP nominee at the Libertarian Party convention.  He had arranged for MAGA supporters to enter the venue early to give an impression of support but they were overwhelmed by the Libertarians’ boos.

The former President was booed when he told the Libertarians to nominate him as their presidential candidate and was booed even more when he berated them for not following his directive.

He was nominated for their ballot and received six votes out of 1051 🙄

I have to laugh at LP’s fears about opposition rucks setting out to harm Harry.

Nup, ruck Pittonet and give'em some treatment back the other way
Tired of us getting worked over by crap trucks. Never miss an opportunity to push back on these arrogant bogans.

Pitto is out for a couple of weeks so it will be Tom and a combination of Harry, Crippa, Chugga, etc.  I suppose that Nige could be an option but probably not in a wet game at night.

I have to laugh at LP’s fears about opposition rucks setting out to harm Harry.  While Harry is more than capable of looking after himself, angelic looking Tom is one of the meanest ruckmen going around, and never hesitates to make his opposition aware of his presence. Furthermore, the ruck rotations are usually orchestrated so that Harry only competes against Finlayson.

Dixon is being nursed through the season and usually only takes some forward 50 ruck contests.  He will be flat out trying cope with Weitering’s attentions.

Rozee out along with Rioli will help us, pity Dixon looks like returning but Im confident we can cover most of their good players with our own and I think Charlie will have a big game on Zerk Thatcher and Harry will be to good for Esava.
Lose to Port and its going to be a tough couple of weeks with some harder games to come, Port are way over-rated imho and without long time nemesis Robbie Gray to bail them out with the last kick of the day stuff it will be the Blues by around 17 points.

Interesting...
We're now getting regular incidents of Trump making gaffes or saying the wrong thing or things out of context...not in the calculated way  he has done in the past,  but more in line with an elderly man with diminishing faculties.
If these debates go ahead it will be interesting to see how he goes in a structured session where he is not in control.
It was kind of thought he would have little trouble outshining Biden. Rightly or wrongly that was the expectation.
So really all Biden needs to do is match Trump or go close...and he'll  get a boost.

I think they are beatable and as I keep saying our best is good enough vs anyone, anywhere. As Mantis said, pressure and contested footy is our go and when we bring it, we are hard to play against. I feel like most of the Port players don't like it tough and hard. I'd give Cincotta the job on Butters first up. Fantasia should be able to supplement Vossy's intel on this mob. I sound like a broken record but games like this against a contender on their dung heap can send a message (one way or the other). Which message will we send?
