Nick's Posting XXII Round 15: vs Carlton

[John Wren]

what a week it has been and what an incredibly important weekend it will be in the history of this nation and this forum. by my reckoning, we have to go back to 2008 to when we last lost to this mob twice in a season and, don't forget, we owe this mob for the semi final loss in 1931 when they got over the line by a mere 88 points. rudeboy has been recalled and will be given the opportunity to avenge this loss he was involved in.

this week we bring in a couple of novices from the north who will come in as emergencies. qldmagpie67, in particular, has been selected as the travelling emergency. meanwhile, there may be bitter tears for some because inxs88 has been named as the other emergency.

cuthbertcollingwood has been swept up in the brexit storm and it may be some time before we see him again. woftam has been omitted because, frankly, he is a woftam. the late omission of jezza from last week's team augurs well for david who, despite going missing, has kept his spot but moves to the right wing. we hope all goes well for him as he is in a fierce battle to retain his position. yin-yang returns to add some balance to the left of centre.

Bloody wanker! I take personal offense at my continued ommission, particularly as it seems to be forgotten that I was the Full Forward for both the 2010 GF and the Replay.
I haven't taken the option of accepting the big bucks to go to Big Footy, or hung up the boots to go into the media like so many others I shan't name, mainly coz I dont remember their names, but regardless, I'm treated like some kind of Goldsack or Didak to watch from the sidelines as our revolving door of wanker coaches leads us to defeat after defeat, and...

...stuff it, Antiques Roadshow is on & i'm tired.

PS: Wanker!!!

Great team, another big C back into the team bodes well.

David may get lost on the right wing but if he can channel some trolley car memes (which shouldn't be difficult) hopefully he can just pull the lever.

Lucky I'm on the bench, I'll have to sit it out, I'm on the Appalachian trail today! Sorry!
(No really!)

Serious?! The AT? As in walking seven billion miles? And with phone service?!
I dips me lid to ya. I reckon I could cross the AT, not lengthways though.

Emergency? I am better thanl everyone else I would mention names but I haven't paid any attention to my teammates and probably wont.

[RudeBoy]

a team is only as good as the bench imho. and on that score, this is a star studded team, as shown by the quality of the bench. Beside me there is TP, 3rds and WPT. That is pure class.

Well the rebel alliance took the opportunity last week to circumvent the coach by replacing his game plan given to the players in writing and replacing it with a an obvious far more detailed and winnable plan.
Whilst we would have been happy to sit on the sidelines and watch on as this hack of a coach led the team to another stunning loss w decided to act and restore some pride among the group.
This week we are undecided yet to what approach to take.
Should we sit by and watch on what would most likely be a horrible loss or again take control and deliver the players a plan to win
A hard decision and the constant phone calls and private messages from both players and supporters begging the rebel alliance to take control again are hard to ignore
So Stui as captain we are appreciative of your constant begging and attempts to bride us into taking control and Neil Appleby's offer to assist in disposing of any corpse are appealing but we feel you should come out of the closet (make sure you choose the right closet though) and declare your allegiance to the rebel alliance
It's gratifying to receive over 300,000 messages a day from posters pleading for action against the tea sipping velvet coat wearing Range Rover driving egomaniac who has led a team of dedicated posters to shame and dispair so often this season it makes Tony Shaw's efforts make him look like Jock McHale.
The rebel alliance will decide shortly as what course of action to follow and announce it accordingly at the appropriate time

I served my one week posting ban and still make the side. Coach knows what he is doing!

Looks like I've slid onto the field without being mentioned in the Ins at all

This is not the week to experiment or play the kids for its own sake - strong team to take on the old enemy - noice one coach

PS - I agree that I can bring some balance to the left - maybe I am the Richard Di Natale of the team this week... as good as I may be - will anyone notice I am out there?
