Conditions shouldn’t be too much of a factor. Might be a little greasy but the rain passed at lunch so can’t see it really being any worse than a standard night game in Melbourne.

Wind isn’t anywhere near as bad as the forecast suggested, either.

Hoping the oval curse is broken; still remember the last game I was able to go to with my old man - we lost to Port by about 100 points. He pointed a young number 30 who “had something special about him”.

Charlie to kick 5.
Blues by 11.
Walsh BOG.

 

[Cripps 'n' Blue Bloods]

Orazio to kick 8

I'd be happy if he just kicks the ball 8 times.
Apart from the GC game, the last time he did that was round 8 2021.

Was just thinking when driving home how great of a pickup Elijah Hollands has been for us. His numbers are very solid for only 23 games at the top level and being affected by injury prior. His adaptability to be thrown in the centre bounces or that mid sized half forward is great.

But would love him to increase his output on goal assists/score involvements.
Need that half forward line to function optimally tonight, try and create the space for H and Charlie to lead into.

Been a great replacement for Martin. Would love to see how we look with both in the side though.

Positive vibes about this one

Think we will be too good in the end

Statement game

Go Blues!

 

[I bleed Blue]

Orazio to kick 8

I'll be impressed if he can get 8 touches

I recall we have copped some hidings at AO , hoping tonight we will be handing out the hiding.

Blues by 29 points.

Ricciuto reported that possible rain predicted for 2nd half... hope we establish a big enough buffer by then

I recall he won a TV as the man of the match in one of those mid-week night competitions, only had 2 touchs in the entire game.

Ricciuto can’t read his own name without his lips moving; let alone the weather radar. Should be clear for the night.

I assumed he got told rather than reading the radar himself

Interesting game. Are they going hard for this or saving themselves for the Bombers where they have more days to recover.

He is talking about State of Origin. So good.

No we need to win given the closeness of the ladder.

I imagine we will be red lining it. Especially late. Knowing that we have a 10 day break afterwards

We saw it vs Melbourne. 18 disposals and 1 goal between them. The 12 by Elijah was his lowest tally not counting the game where he was subbed out injured.

 

[thegreatbeast]

I just watched the "Bite" from last years mauling on Kayo. That was beautiful.

 

[carlton_99]

Carroll the sub for us. Finlayson for them.

Entrees are out

Starting with Kingfish.

Yummmmmm…..

Have to win both to finish top 4
