Training Pre-Season 2023 (First game 18/3 v North)

[PremiershipNo4]

I don’t gamble because, as you say, it’s a mug’s game. But I’ll stake my hard-earned and highly valuable reputation on it. We’ll roll ‘em. If Black and Florenca can almost get the job done, have no fear.

I really rate Clarkson as an exceptional coach, and it will be interesting to see Norf with the addition of picks 3 and 4.
Clarkson is much more likely to debut his young talent than Simmo in my opinion.
I certainly not counting my chickens with this game, North will be fire and brimstone under Clarko, can we match that under Simmo? I have my doubts.

 

[PremiershipNo4]

By the way I’m not being negative just realistic, you don’t make successfully to half a century without having some sort a ****ing idea

 

[RanaNaved]

I wouldn't be at all surprised to see North win, and win well. I wouldn't be surprised if the reverse happens either.

 

[Shueygod]

Because we were equally as s**t as them last year, they’ve beaten us in the last couple, they’ve just employed the best coach in the country, and it’s their home game. What part of that is hard to understand?

The team is completely different to our last two encounters with them. We’ll literally destroy them.

While I think North will improve this year, their talls are ****ing shithouse.

Wardlaw probably won’t play and I highly doubt Sheezel impacts much given he’s a medium forward.

I’d expect our young fellas to have just as much of an impact.

Ok

Didn't Larkey or some guy kick 6 v Barrass/Gov?

Assuming destroy is 10 goal win? Big call to say we’ll destroy anyone I reckon.

Been a shit display of football for 2-3, not just 2022.

I’m not confident we’ll destroy anyone in 23 if I’m honest, but we should be better than bottom 4 as I see suggested frequently

Larkey kicked 6 against Jamison as a debutant. That's his level.
I'm biased but I reckon we will belt the piss out of North. Their improvement comes from Clarkson only. Our improvement comes from having a fit list and evidently fit older players and hopefully an improved game plan.
We will see I guess.

It sounds like there's very little that does surprise you.

By destroy I mean North won’t be in the game at any time, doubt we belt anyone as I can’t see the coach running our old campaigners into the ground but if we were to North/Hawks the only possibilities.

I'm not surprised you're not surprised.

Two 18-year-olds shouldn’t make a difference, now matter how high they were drafted.

 

[WCErevival]

Cunnington will be back for North.

Nothing really surprises me.

Even if Aliens landed I reckon I'd be like "pffft so obvious"

Not much does tbh

 

[Cuzz09]

We won't belt (flat track) anyone.

If we get a 4+ goal win at any point, that will be great.

Even if we have a flat tracking 1st qtr and are 6 goals up at qtr time we tend to let sides back over the last few years

[Shueygod]

Cunnington will be back for North.

Our ins will likely be at a minimum: Naitanui, Yeo, Barrass, Allen, Sheed, Gaff, Cripps, Culley, Hunt, cole and whatever draftees we pick.

Over half the team will change, likely outs.

giro, Foley, SPS, Naish, Dewar, Black, Ainsworth, Mountford, J.Williams, Jamo, Rioli, and Witho.

It’s a massive upgrade

 

[dajesmac]

I’d be pretty surprised if we don’t roll North to be honest. They’d have to improve significantly to best us considering the context of the last time we played - which is possible but less likely than us winning I’d say.

 

[Biggie]

Yeah I think we’ll beat them, just not sure it’ll be a comfortable win

 

[Shmiddy15]

Oscar will be leading the Colman at the end of round 1.

 

[Matera92]

I realise that the season is still six weeks away and there is zero exposed form for any teams so any betting market is loosely framed at best but how are we $2.15 outsiders against Norf in Round 1?

Free money.

Not much of a gambler myself but did put $1 on a Culley Rising Star/Allen Coleman at $8000+ a while ago. It's unbelievably optimistic but genuinely not impossible it happens
