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. Quote Selected Last Edit: April 29, 2017, 03:15:02 pm by kruddler

Re: 2017 Round 6: Pre game premonitions: Carlton vs Sydney Reply #173 – April 29, 2017, 04:49:44 pm 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. Quote Selected

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. Quote Selected
