Game Day Good Friday v Carltank

[Samsquanch]

Interesting that everyone will be watching for big Charlie C to kick a bag today. Let's all hope he does.

Charlie Comben, come on down!

 

[Shermanator]

The media have made it sound like Curnow and Buckets-lite are playing in the forward half all by themselves today and have consequently added a few layers of pressure to them both and Carltank.

JZ to play the game of his life and will fill the hole like Laidley and Archer in the 96 GF..

North by 17.. lets go..

 

[Eggs11]

After the joy of signing Griff Logue, who would have thought we’d be going into round 3 without a key defender?

Oh well.

 

[Frank Thring]

While I'm hopeful for a win, i cant see it happening. McKay and Curnow to combine for 8 goals plus

 

[shimaburnsgrieg]

Roos and Blues are relatively even in terms of average age today but North have a clear edge in average games played.

[Reagan Smash]

We were poor against Hawthorne last week and they imo are easily the worst team in the comp.
So, who knows.

 

[shinboner magic]

At the coalface is where we need to belt them - it’s our only hope.
Our defence will need a lot of helping out by the mids filling the hole - got to slow down their ball use.

 

[Kanga Glory]

Midfield on top pumping the ball into our forward line then that limits their chances. If we have control they can’t kick goals - simples

 

[Ligma]

Look at all the Debbie downers smh

We are gonna win

 

[Scottroo]

Clarko to pull a rabbit out of the hat and the Roos to win by 4 goals

Larkey to kick a bag

Carlton aren’t as good as the ladder shows

A draw against an average Richmond, and two small wins over gws and the cats who are both struggling

 

[gokangas]

Look at all the Debbie downers smh

We are gonna win

I have a good feeling about this game.

 

[domiroo]

Rico says Roos by 23 points

 

[Sminglers]

PRAYING that Boner can have a good game and doesn't hospital handball as soon as he gets possession.
Please!

 

[Nylex]

Superclash!! Sold out!! Go Roos!!

 

[The Nostradamus]

Hope we go bonar to curnow
Corr to McKay

As curnow is a bit shorter and a better matchup for bon

 

[grimface_87]

Interesting looking at the changes from last year when we played them (we also didn't have our first choice key defenders McKay and Corr in that game!):

• Out Walker In Corr
• Out Perez In Tucker
• Out JHF In Powell
• Out Greenwood In Cunnington
• Out Thomas in Sheezel
• Out CCJ in Comben
• Out Mahoney in Phillips

Pretty happy with all those as upgrades to be honest

 

[Ligma]

PRAYING that Boner can have a good game and doesn't hospital handball as soon as he gets possession.
Please!

I pray for A Boner too, just not for Aidan.

 

[Chadwiko]

Look at all the Debbie downers smh

We are gonna win

smh you've learned nothing about jinxes.

damn zoomers.

 

[bengrina]

For the first time in a very long time I’ll be going to the Good Friday clash with a sense of optimism. Not necessarily that we can win but with the knowledge that the team will be up for it win lose or draw. I remember previous years that I’ve attended with a sick feeling in my stomach hoping and praying we can keep it under a 10 goal loss. The games a sell out . It should always have been north vs blues. I feel that this is the fixture they will keep and allow tradition to build. So huge that we now have clarko on board . He’s one of the big names in the game and this alone brings some added excitement to the game. Can’t wait to see the boys crack in and show the rest of the afl that the shinboners are building

 

[Ligma]

smh you've learned nothing about jinxes.

damn zoomers.

You are literally so annoying

 

[DuckYeah]

I want to be optimistic, I really do. I just have a strong feeling their ratio of inside 50:score board will be too hard to compete with.

 

[Disco Dew]

Away in Mansfield with the family for a week. There’s kangaroos everywhere, good sign shinboners!

North by 12

 

[ferball]

If we win by literally any margin, I'll be ecstatic.

If we lose but are competitive, I'll be pragmatic.

If we get boat-raced, I'll be irrational and salty.

I doubt we'll get flogged. Just got to trust the guys down back to go hard.

Does having roo droppings on the front lawn count as a good sign?

 

[DERRINALPHIL]

Effort, system, and the young blokes to show something.
