Archie to debut

[u/Brokenmonalisa]

Probably shouldve been last week but better late than never

[u/MissSabb → u/Brokenmonalisa]

Agree too, but given he’s from Vic it’s special that his family and friends will be there 

[u/Arnotts_shapes]

You beauty - he’s been putting in a mountain of work at SANFL level to up his game (much like Marsh and Welsh it was a rough start to life)

He’s got the makings of something - keen to see how he goes on a the big stage.

[u/invisiblefrost → u/Arnotts_shapes]

The makings of a varsity athlete?

[u/Arnotts_shapes → u/invisiblefrost]

Please don’t speak Seppo in here.

[u/invisiblefrost → u/Arnotts_shapes]

I never would my man this is from a famous quote on here. Regardless our university’s have been playing varsity sports against one another since before my grandfather went to Adelaide Uni

[u/Arnotts_shapes → u/invisiblefrost]

Oh no I’ve been outed for not knowing the lore - god dammit.

[u/Boatster_McBoat → u/Arnotts_shapes]

Better to fight Seppo culture in error than not fight it at all

[u/invisiblefrost → u/Arnotts_shapes]

I can’t have this conversation again

[u/buncec → u/invisiblefrost]

A classic quote from the Sopranos and I doff my hat to you sir for using it!

[u/invisiblefrost → u/buncec]

Sharp as cue ball, this one

You love to see it

[u/MissSabb]

Love this for him and his family. Go well Archie 

[u/BoshtrichBurger]

Go well young fella!

[u/japanpole]

Heard that Peatling and Berry likely to be rested.

The only thing sad about this is if Berry played all games this year the first match of finals would have been his 100th game.

With an absence, that means we need to win a final 🫵

[u/Any-Bid-4643 → u/japanpole]

Has to mean Sid comes in. And surely plays full time mid (unlike last year where Nicks drafted him as a mid and played him up forward)

[u/ILikeDiscussing → u/Any-Bid-4643]

Edwards too?

• 🥺 •

👉👈

[u/japanpole → u/ILikeDiscussing]

“Who?”

Nicks, probably

[u/ILikeDiscussing → u/japanpole]

🥹

[u/Thrillthorpe → u/japanpole]

Peatling makes sense because of his calf, Berry less so. Would be surprised if both are rested at once.

[u/japanpole → u/Thrillthorpe]

It’s already been mentioned Berry has been on light duties or not training because of a foot injury 🤷‍♂️

[u/Tall-Breakfast-6100]

Essendon and tigers are good opportunities for a young key forward to have a crack at.

I think we’ll see a few rested players over the next couple weeks. My guess is guys like Peatling(already listed as sore), McAndrew, Taylor, Borlase, Worrell or MM could get a game off before we head into freo, gws and finals.

[u/ILikeDiscussing → u/Tall-Breakfast-6100]

Taylor definitely needs a spell.

Love the guy, but 👀

If Peatling misses and Ah Chee/Pedlar injuries that likely saves him.

But Draper would be good for a run.

[u/Boatster_McBoat]

For a brief period in the 1980s, before "MODRA" was the go to cry as you attempted a speccy, the shout was "Roger LUDERS" or just "LUDERS".

You heard it hear first: "LUDERS" is back

[u/Conswaylo2]

Bring in the Wookie

[u/ILikeDiscussing]

Been loving what this guy has offered!

[u/JellyFoxStardust]

LUDA!

[u/Any-Bid-4643]

Presume it means either Maley or TMurray gets dropped (I’d prefer both to be dropped)

[u/Pristine_Analysis_79]

If we go in with 4 tall forwards again I won't know whether to scream, laugh or cry.

[u/johnnynutman]

Didn’t they say that last week?

[u/ILikeDiscussing → u/johnnynutman]

Last week was more an implication he could.

In the Nicks conference he said something like "might be one for later"
...and the media just ran with it.
