Unofficial Preview Round 1, 2024: Bombers v Hawks, MCG 1:10pm Sat 16th March

'Llordo' though, can't get around that...seems self appointed. Velvet Sledgehammer was good.

Yes the Velvet Fist in the Iron Glove.

One of the all time great nicknames, so fitting.

 

[Dewyyyyy]

Llordo on field = absolute prick
Llordo as a personality = pretty good bloke

Doesn't take himself too seriously, I can't hate him.

Had him play a game for an old cricket club of mine. Was like a Ressies sinking piss, class.

Forecast 7 days out is 25 degrees and cloudy. Should be good footy conditions.

This is going to be a massive crowd on a perfect day for footy at the G.

Will be a ripper

 

[PenAndPaper]

Just tried to think of our 22 for this one and seriously struggling to fit everyone in. I was also coming very close to leaving Worpel out of the team because I want to include Ward, Hust and Mackenzie.
Will be very interesting to see how we line up.

Since we've having such hot days this weekend, I'm starting to feel quite good about our opening round being delayed. Also a bit of a help with all our injuries I guess.

Much better for everyone (players and fans) to go watch the footy on a 25C day than a 39C scorcher.

Round zero is a load of bollocks but can't deny it's worked out well regarding the weather.

 

[TylerDurden]

We'd go in favourites if he misses.
Massive loss.

No we wouldn't

Would like us to tag Z Merrett. Our whole side performed better when Finn was doing his thing and it also triggers the opposition (including their coaches - ie. Melb coach and pies lost their minds when Daicos was tagged).

Big bonus if he's right to go. His game in round 1 2021 is underrated.

That game is such a statistical wonder to behold.

Moorey had 15 touches and 3 goals in the third quarter and 4 disposals for the rest of the game.

Titch had 39.

McGrath played a blinder with 33 touches, 11 tackles and a goal.

Draper got 3 Brownlow votes with 10 disposals and 2 marks.

10 minutes of a Scott brother whinging about a Hawthorn win in the post game presser is my ASMR

But if you do it every week it gets worked out. Save it for specific games.

Rugby League is a shocking sport, can we talk about this weeks game?

Parish out is massive for us, I think we go in a red hot chance now, no Ridley and no Parish, that’s 2 of their top 5 players out.

I'd almost send Finn straight to Merrett, then let Jai and Nash go toe to toe with Caldwell and Hobbs. We should win that battle, as long as Ned gets on top of Draper/ Goldy.

Tap wise, Ned has Draper and Goldstein covered, it’s around the ground that has me concerned
Draper will go forward to stretch our defence.

Think if Finn can quell Merrett our midfield covers theirs.

Smalls generally give * defenders trouble so look for Moore, Bruest, Ginnivan and Watson to all play

I agree. Draper seems to unsettle us when he goes forward.

100%
Add Hardwick to that mix.
Gunston will also play.

Their plan is for Setterfield to tag Newcombe.

You Would think it’s worth playing maguiness for Merrett

Agree. So then it's Nash/ Worpel (if fit)/ Ward/ McKenzie v Caldwell, Perkins/ Hobbs

Duke will BBQ Settlefield ...not sure why the concern .
