Resting some for the Pies?

Playing mind games?

[WASurfer]

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.

Carlton are favourites with the bookies now LMAO

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.

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.

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 ?
