Bad in that we won't get an assessment against one of the best.

If we win I will absolutely rate it. There is only 3 of the seven that are not omitted. So the rest are changes they decided to make.
We lost Kennedy so they are only 2 changes worse than us.

I’m not sure if what I just posted made any sense 😂

What im trying it say is losing 2-3 good players out of 21 doesn’t bring you down as much as fans think. All teams get injuries and the best teams like port and pies handle them very well. You don’t win 12 in a row without being a very strong even team

They will still be very hard to beat and should still be warm favourites.

Presumably Marchbank on standby for McGovern?

If they wanna rest blokes, so be it. But this is a big chance for us this weekend......with West Coast next weekend also in Melbourne. Could have us right on the edge of the 8.

Yep. I get it.
The headline worked on me - took me back a bit.
I don't think we're favourites to win this one either. I take the odds thing with a grain of salt.

Keeping together is progress.
Working together is success.

Yep me too.  If we play our best we will get it done I reckon. If you do and then beat WC we will go into pies game with 5 in a row.
Imagine how big that game will be.
Yeah I know one week at a time 😉

Kornes, this morning said that Carlton should win because of the Port outs and it is under the roof at Marvel. Protecting his beloved Port.

There wouldn't be many times when the eleventh placed team is favourite to win over the second placed team.

Rumours Lycett won't get up and Duursma also has to pass a fitness test.They still have a decent team and I'd have it as 50/50...

That makes perfect sense  :)

I suspect that Dixon and Horne-Francis would be in the 22 if they were playing Collingwood in Adelaide.  Perhaps they've committed the cardinal sin of taking the opposition too lightly.

According to this week’s AFL injury update, Port has five injured players to our ten … but why let the facts get in the way of a good yarn Kane?

Indeed. Cornes rarely lets the truth get in the way of one of his moronic statements.

Any news as to whether McGovern is going to play? We are better with him, even with Port's stupidity.
Marchbank - I'm not sure I would want to depend on him. Not that he's a bad player, quite the opposite, but I would worry about his match fitness.

McGovern has to undergo a light fitness test to be able to play today. Voss seems to think he will pull through.
