Just realised Simmo's 250th was against PA and the boys got over the line for him. History may well repeat.

That made me smile reading an otherwise glum thread ^-^
I remember that game well. Kruez kicked the winning goal just before the siren IIRC. Gibbs basically jumped on top of Simmo, who was overwhelmed crying happy tears. Bolts was in the dug out waiting eagerly to celebrate with our little champ wearing no.6.
I'll be thrilled if we can repeat history. Alas, I don't see it happening. Port are in form (like the other low injury teams) and we are playing the gap-filler game with scarce resources.
Go blues. Give your all for our little champ.

Our injured players going in to Round 1 were:
Sam Docherty (knee
Darcy Lang (ankle)
Matthew Lobbe (quad)
Jarrod Pickett (ankle)
Sam Rowe (knee)
Alex Silvagni (hamstring)
Tom Williamson (back)
With the possible exception of Lobbe, all would be pressing for selection if fit.

I'll give you Rowe but the others have hardly played for the club.
Injuries hurt all clubs but we make it worse by making mind boggling decisions like replacing Kreuzer with Polson.

I would say Silvagni is just as important, if not moreso to our backline than Rowe.
Take into account that Our best backman, Docherty, our most experienced backman, Silvagni, on top of Rowe were out, and I'd say that's the best part of our best backline out. Pretty significant if you ask me.

Gees, you talk some BS.
Score was closer than the scoring shots. If they had kicked straight MBb would be right.

Williamson had cemented a spot in the backline and was the most likely player to plug the gap left by Docherty’s injury. Our defence went from a settled, competent unit in 2017 to a makeshift, inexperienced group this season.

I just can't see us winning this or even getting closer than 5 or 6 goals.
Murphy is a very good inclusion but Kreuzer, Thomas and Plowman are big outs, Phillips is VFL standard in my opinion.
I'm hopeful, but in my guts I know it's a forlorn hope.

We kicked the first 5 goals then were completely dominated for the rest of the match.
