Got a sense that Charlie is going to tear this apart.

Something about his two closest rivals kicking bags. Feels like he might have something to prove

he doesn't but he well may............

loving the pleas for us who will be there to make a lot of noise - what did you think we were going to do, behave?

 

[Juddrockz]

You behave ...




I'd like to see that

 

[Show_Me_The_Money]

I'm so excited to watch a game, for the first time in 10 years, where I can enjoy it from the start and not be anxious about the outcome or potential fall out. It is bliss.

It's kind of like when you go 7 goals up in the last quarter and you can relax. But from the start of the game!

I have to keep hbf under control today...........

Defensive forward role…….

 

[BigFrizz36]

Just leaving wodonga now. Don't let them start without me.

Go blues.

 

[carltonchelsea]

Enjoy the day baggers, smashed a homemade carbo with a lively and lovely little Chards, off to little misses first Grand Final in her first year, kicked her first goal in the Pre-lim last week to help secure the win.
Great time to be alive I f’kn tells ya…..
Foot firmly on the accelerator all the way…..
Go Blues

For once we don't have to win to make/stay in top 8...

and the top 8 destiny of two other teams are in our hands....

Feels a little bit anti climatic after we've won 9 must win games in a row.

Nice easy sunday to finish off the H&A series.

That is what the Giants will be hoping we feel - beat us in the order of 100 to 60 and they get a home final!
Pitto for Sub (Insurance)

 

[F_therest]

We do look a little under-size in defence. Maybe Marchy will be sub, as cover.

Big Tom will hopefully be at his best tonight, Briggs has been playing very well for them.

George in top form over the last month, should match up on Tom Green.

Daniels has been good for them this year, clever little fella. Saady to keep him honest.

Will back our B and F favourite Newy to do a great job on Toby.

No fresh injuries and a win would be awesome, then bring on the Dogs. GB.

Marchy being out worries me a bit...not just for this game but for finals.

Lack of a big second KPD could be an area of weakness other teams can exploit given some key forwards have gotten a hold of Kemp this year.

 

[Graffy4242]

Anyone, anytime, anywhere

 

[Just Kreuzing]

Anyone, anytime, anywhere

Yep, looking forward to watching us tonight go into a live contest with a fit & desperate squad of 23 players eager to find form, cement a spot or cause real selection headaches for the MC.

Imagine relying on the results of two other teams playing the last game of the home and away season to make the 8? Then imagine that in consecutive years…

Kemp and Marchbank are the same size. Kemp gives better rebound

 

[Jimmae]

Durdin is the Dow, Fisher story of 2025

Quicker, and better in front of goal and in the air than Fisher.

Can contribute at the stoppage, but has probably looked at the trends, and what Fisher has copped there and realised he'll just get body slammed if he's there permanently.

Can play off the flanks at either end - or on the wing - if required.

[JoeyPBLUES]

Thats great from their socials team.

 

[thylacine60]

Open the game thread. Need some atmosphere if I'm kicking the dirt for a couple of hours at an admittedly deserted Yarra Park.

 

[KohPhi]

Will be watching from Bali.
Go Baggers.

 

[xDQ82x]

Kemp and Marchbank are the same size. Kemp gives better rebound

Kemp gives better decision making, contest, speed.

Marchy has just missed to much football.
