Wishing any player would do an ACL is just a dick move and shows the quality of the person you are. End of thread.

You're right, but it was really in jest. Taking the piss is kinda my tone here, if you haven't been following.

For the purposes of appeasing the little engine that could, let's call it a non-serious injury that lasts for the exact duration of the playoffs.

Lowlife...

If it was in jest you might want to look st not starting a thread with "So I was just thinking about which Perth player I'd rather have do an ACL,"

Choo-choo... Dude. Look up the word glib. Then go through my profile and look at my comment history, chiefly the tone with which I communicate. That's just me, deal with it.

Now let's move past your grievances and discuss what this thread is actually about. I feel there could be some interesting points of view.

For Perth I have always thought it was Casey, and I still lean ever so slightly that way just based on how ordinary we still looked most of the time we had Cotton but Casey was hurt. There are plenty of good reasons why he was neck and neck with Randle in the MVP voting for a good chunk of the season.
Take either away and we're screwed though to be honest.

I reckon it's Prather hey. They have such little backup at the wing positions, but if Cotton were to go down then Damo would step up and run a good show. Martin is an underrated and underachieving offensive player, for mine

I'd still go with Prather. Purely because he is simply irreplaceable. Our resurgence over these last few games, has come on the back of him firing again (along with Cotton.)

Don't get me wrong, we'd be in deep caca without either, but I reckon we could cover Cotton slightly better than Prather.

Adelaide similarly have a couple of guys they'd be lost without in Randle, DJ, and probably Sobey. I'm tempted to say Randle is the obvious pick, and I think he is. Who runs the point when he's out? Teys???

Hawks, probably AJ. They need Rotnei offensively, but would be lost without AJ.

Cairns, I reckon its Nate. You see what happens when he cops soft fouls and has to sit.

... and we certainly saw in last season's GF series what a huge factor he can be when he gets going, too. After a frustratingly foul-plagued, injury-plagued, inconsistent regular season for us, he still ended up being the x-factor that got us the title.
And that's exactly why I'm not counting my chickens yet in this semi final series.

I have no issue with Manu's comment in jest. Was fine with me and Im a Perth fan. Im sure it was not to be taken seriously.

Anyway...

Adelaide - Randle, Sobey and Johnson. They didnt finish on top soley because of Randle.

Perth - Cotton, Prather and Martin. Defensively could be a huge factor if Martin gets going with the in-form Prather and Cotton. Knight now looking good too.

Cairns - Jawai, though i think they're done.

Illawarra - Ogilvy, Clarke.

Agreed with your choice of players Haz

NB: I think we can all understand that the OP is talking hypothetically, as a segue into his topic. He's not "wishing" bad things on anybody.

Jawai shows up for the Cats last season but no heart for his home team

Sorry Manu, I was a bit harsh last night. Looking back at your OP while I was sober - I overreacted a bit *facepalm*

Admitting a mistake is a quality move. Well done Train.

If I am ever wrong about anything I'd like to think I will do the same thing.

haha i broke the golden rule .... don't go onto forums or social media after vodka. There's a lot of dicks on these forums and I certainly don't want to be one of them haha

We're good, Train. A few vodka celebration shots eh?

Yeah I'd be happy too if my team almost tripled its biggest road win of the season in a playoff game.

Grrrrrr they shit me to tears. Perth, that is. Cairns too I guess. But mainly... grrrr... no I'm okay.... grrrr... look I'm fine... grrrrrrrth.

Wildc****

hahaha yep, i was pretty stoked with the win. Was not expecting that in Carins!!!
