[Big Fresh]

I see what you did there.

Macca18 loves the reverse-jinx.

Hang on have they changed the font in here?

This is Chappy's type of game.

He'll kick as many goals and get as many possessions as he needs to drag the side over the line.

Strange tweet above.

There are NO late changes to either side - Ryan Bastinac is the #NMFC sub and Dempsey for Essendon #AFLFinals

 

[Rod Stroker]

Strange choice of subs for both sides.

Is this reliable source?

evidently not.

Closest to the pin for what time the BF servers die?

 

[ManWithNoName]

Tram's...not as full as I'd expect 45 minutes out from the bounce.

I've got my fingers crossed for 5 minutes into the first quarter where North has kicked their 10th goal.

Controversial LT free to win us the game
Bigfooty would never recover

I have a bad feeling that bomber is going to instruct Scott in another football lesson.

I say 'instruct' rather than 'teach', because Scott doesn't seem to learn.

The only things giving me hope for tonight are a) Andrew Swallow and b) Essendon fade at years end.

I think whoever wins could knock off Geelong so good luck to whichever team wins.

Yea unlikely. As soon as he starts faking a limp..I'm thinking of jumping the fence. Ffs stay out of the way.

Going to be close game. North by under 3 goals.

North by lots, Looking forward to it!!

Feels like a hell of a lot more people walking to the game tonight compared to last night. Should be a cracking crowd given the weather

 

[ManWithNoName]

At the G. I'm tipping tonight's crowd will be bigger than last night. Bays that were empty last night already have people in them.

 

[Rod Stroker]

North down to $1.68, Essendon out to $2.25
We normally don't do well when such clear favourites.

That's a given. Especially being the series game this week.

An Essendon win would make me violently ill.

Bomber could end up instructing both Scotts in consecutive weeks.

I loathe seeing hashtags on the banners.

Can't see North having a problem here with the peps.

 

[Beth]

I love the knock out finals!

North by 11 points.

Was actually discussing this with a mate last night at the Rugby. I agree I dont think there is a need for them at all.
