GO BLUES

 

[Chism]

We go in as selected.



C'mon Boys lets do this.

 

[Jeremias]

Wow.

Amazed we've not had a late change here. Wait and see but don't like that at all.

 

[JuddgementDay]

Lets get a win and build some excitement into our season again!
Got to back the selection committee - go Blues!

 

[prisoner777]

While I have potentially optimistic hopes for the outcome of today's game (and I have picked the Blues in my footy tipping comp), just to stir the pot, I'll offer my concerns about the team.

Interesting situation as we prepare for today's game. The Blues now the only team without a win this season and teams not expected to do well are surprising with a level of skill and belief not expected. Bolts continues to spin his "sports corporate "rhetoric" and while we have a stronger team this year with the additions of Walsh, McGovern, Setterfield, et al.......we're still not showing real belief or the the willingness to play out four consistent quarters. We have been known for the honorable losses for a while now and yes the Lions have had longer in their rebuild......but IMO there still seems to be an issue with both the Blues' mindset and game plan (when "the going gets tough").

 

[ESKIE]

Feel we are too tall. So the big guys need to make em stick...here hoping for a win

 

[Cliffords Blues]

We'll win today
Kruz and JSOS playing well in the 2's, great running goal by Kruz just now, followed very quickly by JSOS 2nd goal.
Kruz in everything.
Wins are coming

 

[Brighton_Diggins]

Cmon . Big charlie to bounce back with 6 goals. IF we can jag this and end up above the crows it'll make my week. Month even!
Switch on boys. This is ours.....

 

[prisoner777]

Kruz in everything.
Wins are coming

I hope you are right. My stress level is rising and we're still over an hour away from the first bounce.

 

[LanceRomance]

Blues by 1000 points?

 

[Mr_Plow]

The Governator is playing? Nice.

Tall af but whatever, next week we'll fix it, lol.

 

[prisoner777]

Blues by 1000 points?

I wish you wouldn't exaggerate. It will only be a win by 992.

 

[JuddgementDay]

Tall af but whatever, next week we'll fix it, lol.

No we only make one small change to a winning side; and go even taller
Gibbo for Kruezer

What is sports corporate rhetoric? And why are there so many quotation marks around those words?

 

[prisoner777]

What is sports corporate rhetoric? And why are there so many quotation marks around those words?

Each industry has its own set of rhetorical statements. The quotation marks were simply for emphasis - my apols if I overdid them but I do want to reinforce the point that there still appears to be issues around our progress.

 

[Alphonse_]

Will be a decent sized gatorade shower in the rooms if we get the chocolates

Contain Sexton and 2 metre Peter and I am confident we will win .

Calling it now, SPS will be best on ground with a dashing and dynamic performance. Only a matter of time before he shreds a team to ribbons and i think today is the day.

 

[resolute_blue]

Dow, O’Brien and Gibbons to be solid contributors
Charlie to clunk a few
Cas to crunch quite a few
No injuries
Blues by 12 will do please...OMG please!!!!

 

[VainGlorious]

Blues by 1000 points?

I’ve told you twelve million times not to over exaggerate.




I’ll leave

 

[VainGlorious]

I wish you wouldn't exaggerate. It will only be a win by 992.

Beat me to it

 

[BennyGan]

do you guys think that setterfield will have another tagging role today, need to know for my supercoach lol

 

[prisoner777]

Beat me to it

You could go for 991 or 993.

 

[My Hat]

We're too tall, but Charlie for Polson is an improvement no matter who else is in the team. Go Blues!

The height would be good if we can get plenty of inside 50s.

 

[davis_756]

Risky team line up, we will see if it pays off in an hour or so.

If we get run off our feet while playing so many talls the selection committee will be on notice, GC with their losses last year is a team we should have gone past and if we can't beat them it's hard to see us winning any game this year.

Pressure to perform is well and truly on the boys this week, fingers crossed it all works and we come away with the chocolates.

 

[MrsEddieBetts]

The Governator is playing? Nice.

Tall af but whatever, next week we'll fix it, lol.

It’s a bold strategy
