wtf is wrong with you people

 

[MiguelM]

The state of the Kangaroos we should be able to beat them blindfolded.

Yeah, they will come at us in the first but they are kids not ready & down on any confidence. Mckay will destroy Larkey.

I know in the past these games are a danger but the difference now is the players have completely bought into the gameplan as we are getting results, they trust it.

Not one player was jogging or putting in half efforts in the last 15 minutes of the GWS game. We were hunting. Something I have not seen in eons.

Do yourself a favour and watch the last 15 of GWS game. Watershed moment IMO.

Yeah, I'm not concerned at all about this week. The consistent effort that we've been bringing doesn't strike me as a group that is going to let up now due to a soft opposition.

Think of it this way for those still nervous of a loss - 3rd last game last year, we were well and truly into our 'given up' stage. This was in the midst of having just beaten West Coast by a point in Melbourne, and a week before the GWS disaster, preceding the Collingwood circle work in the last game. North Melbourne also had a better team out there then than they will on Sunday, were up and about for Cunnington's farewell game... and we still won by 9.

I'm not worried about a loss at all. I don't think we'll blow them away, as I don't think we have a team/gameplan/style conditioned to do that, to anyone. But I think North will really struggle to score, if we play the way we have been playing. They simply do not have the cattle.

 

[Shanghaistu]

I’m confident we’ll get out to a 9 point lead some time in the first quarter and then try to shut the game down for the next 3.5 quarters for a 3-5 point win

We improved by 140 points against GWS in last 2 meetings. Expect us to do the same against Norf.

Our record against bottom 4 sides since 2020: 19 wins, 2 losses. Average winning margin of 27.8 points. We've beaten Norf 10 times in a row, by an average margin of 27.4 points.

Hi All,

Is Hind a chance to stay in the team/avoid being the sub the next 3-4 weeks?

 

[cAsEy_18]

Hi All,

Is Hind a chance to stay in the team/avoid being the sub the next 3-4 weeks?

For the next 2 weeks, yes.
But for the 3rd week, I think he might be gone.
But then for the 4th week, he'll be back.

Yes.

So you're saying they're due.

So everyone keeps saying we are now a different team than before...

So that means if we normally beat North then this week...

 

[MiguelM]

Hi All,

Is Hind a chance to stay in the team/avoid being the sub the next 3-4 weeks?

After last week he is surely getting a couple of full games.

 

[ghostdog]

Honestly, I'm only really worried that some North moron will interpret something old Clarkson says as meaning a "line in the sand" is needed; and that moron's response will be to do something reckless and stupid that puts one of ours out of commission.

It wouldn't surprise me from Clarkson and it wouldn't surprise me from North.

We'd still win as we did all those years ago, but their fans would view taking one of our players out as a win.

If this is related to picking him up in some fantasy comp, I probably wouldn't.

In- Hayes, Bryan, Tsatsas
Out- Lav, Davey,

In- Hayes, Bryan, Tsatsas
Out- Lav, Davey,

How's this gonna work?

 

[faible]

How's this gonna work?

Play 19 on the field, obviously.

 

[dank420_]

Play 19 on the field, obviously.

That will actually work well.

 

[Gumby2Hurley]

Expecting to win the next 2 games. I’m a little arrogant that we have to play these next 2 games tbh but the tigers have slaughtered us enough times that they deserve a beating. If we beat the suns and blues the lid will be off.

 

[Vindicater]

In: Ridley
Out: Davey

Hobbs in to play a full game.
Heppell to get a semi-rest/tactical sub for Ridley.

Dont mind it, id rather give Ridley another week as its against North - Theyre hardly tall forward aswell. Then play a half in VFL the next week unless injury to back 7 or 2 wingers

Could he work as a sub potentially, strange one to do obviously but maybe a half or a quarter could be apart of the build up

 

[Pweter]

That will actually work well.

Oooo, does that mean they'll line us up?
