Game Day Round 5 2014 - Brisbane v Richmond

[Big Sauce 21]

Yeah, that isn't something Leppa would consider at all when selecting the team.

can never get enough of milestone men

can never get enough of milestone men

They breed 'em strong and durable in Milestone.

This thread needs more discussion on the fact we are an inexperienced side that is undermanned and looks to be selected with a view to tanking!

 

[Billy Puller]

if the kids are performing better in the NEAFL then the senior players then the kids should play.... Granted that all reports on games shows that indeed the kids are playing better than the senior players they should be in the team ahead of them

You get to see the name "ROBERTSON" above the number this week too Robbo44
Hope you enjoy the night.

I don't know if that development is intended to help parents pick out their kids.

 

[tora tora tora]

good luck to Luke McG....
great mark and kick ...played some good footy for us at the end

 

[dlanod]

Bloody oath... wish we would ban the rolling "inexperienced/undermanned/tanking" discussions from match day threads

The mods are tanking.

The mods are tanking.

Nope, just undermanned.

I knew there was something missing.

 

[John]

Nope, just undermanned.

Definitely inexperienced.

The mods are tanking.

Too many inexperienced mods brought into the side when we had older, more experienced mods sitting in the wings.

Just because you're playing better in the NEAFL doesn't mean you'll be better in the seniors.

 

[Skoob]

At least they would both have a shoulder to cry on.

Only one good one though

Haso=Polks

 

[Harris Specter]

Imagine the meltdowns on the mainboard if we manage to win this. I just want us to win this one game, and I'll replay it over and over, come on boys, do it for Browny's 250th!


*And Bewick's 50th.

Those mods wouldn't get a gig anywhere else. They'll be gone at the end of the year anyway.

More Goose I think.

Would be good to have Bewick start playing like a 50 gamer. Not holding my breath, but we can hope.

 

[Nunez]

Brisbane to win today. No matter what I can see us playing this like it's a grand final

 

[WhiteLionFeva]

Would be good to have Bewick start playing like a 50 gamer. Not holding my breath, but we can hope.

Every 49 or so games he does.

 

[notliondown]

The mods are tanked.

Corrected it for you.

I heard they were trying to get a trade home to be with their mummies..

If only...

Sorry to rehash old quotes but this one of Robbo44 speaks volumes for me...

"Just flew in!
Excited for tonight's game at the Gabba.
Never been before.
Little insight into hopefully what we can expect to see tonight, Nick called me to tell me he was playing and he said "Dad, I'm going in differently this week, I was nervous and second guessing myself a bit but this week I'm just going to do it"
Like some have posted, especially after Tockys comments last night, the thing I love is that it seems like the boys after 4 heavy losses aren't falling over on their own swords but digging in!!
If I can see that tonight, I'll be rapt!!
C'mon boys give ya best tonight.
Congrats to an out and out champion tonight! Browny your a once in a generation champion player of the toughest position on the ground!!"

This is why we have to believe that we are heading in the right direction.

I'm not suggesting that we can compare raw boned teenagers to 200 gamers for a second... but to have the insight that one of our young guys after one game already feels that little bit more composed and confident in himself is the reason this is more than just making do. This is investing in the future. Only a few hours now till we see whether or not each new game brings a little more growth and confidence in their own belief. Its nice to think that from now on that opening quarter siren brings less fear and trepidation and more belief and resilience for more and more of our team.

Seems the plan tonight is to get back to basics. Win the contested footy and get our game right with way less emphasis on what Richmond does. If we do that then we rob the Cotchins, Martins and Reiwoldts of opportunity.

We may not win, but after reading Robbo44's post it'll making losing easier.
