Preview Round 5: North Melbourne vs Essendon, Marvel, Friday 19/04/19 @ 4.20PM

[LB#16]

I probably enjoy beating North as much as I enjoy beating Hawthorn. Please let it happen.

Same. Along with Hawthorne's, Norf fans really dug the boot in during the saga.

still digging the boots in my circles

 

[pazza]

No changes. The only change you could make is if Myers' injury was severe enough to see him miss.

Could be a damn strong VFL side to play at Werribee on Saturday.

 

[Rednblak]

Meh its just norf

Just tell them they go for norf

That mear fact outweighs anything we could ever do

 

[tha Freak]

When Clarkson is bemoaning his team and most of the leagues inability to kick big scores due to rule changes that were meant to do so. Essendon in the past 2 weeks have kicked the rounds highest scores, and we are just warming up. This game will not be close. We will blast them off the park!

 

[Jobe Watson]

Unfortunately for us McDonald might get suspended, and North will have to replace him with someone who is actually AFL-level.

I doubt they AFL even cares about low scores, 7 of 9 games decided by less than 3 goals is like the commissions dream. I mean I'm sure they'd prefer 9 of 9 decided by a point but it's pretty good.

 

[Bombermania]

My only change

In: Francis
Out: Myers

 

[ghostdog]

Meh its just norf

NO! That's the Essington way!

 

[Arctic fox]

Joey will be spending time in Ungarie NSW where his grandad died this week.

 

[DallasCrane316]

Poster on Blitz saying Ridley has broken his hand. If true, assuming Francis comes straight back in?

 

[Old Stuckup]

Replacements for those under an injury/fitness cloud:
Ridley - Francis
Myers - Langford
Bellchambers - Draper

Daniher in for Clarke if available.

 

[windyhill]

Some wanting Baguely dropped. Comical.

 

[silkybombers]

We'll win this by 8 goals. North are shit! Would even consider resting a few for anzac day

Scores mat be lower, aesthetically speaking, the game is in the best shape it's been in for years (bar pansy free kicks umpires are obliged to pay)

 

[srobbo]

Cant wait to flog this mob for the 3rd year running. Almost appproaching Coll levels of hatred towards these clowns.

Shit club who’ve lived off AFL handouts & their supporters are ********s too.

Will make my Easter beating down on them. Think we win 40+

 

[the PILL]

I hope Norf try that kicking backwards into our inside 50 like they did with the poor old mind scrambled Crows...

Bombers by 800.

In all seriousness though, Norf will throw the kitchen sink at this and their only chance is to make it ugly with pressure. I'll be a bit nervous yet curious how we handle this type of game personally.

 

[blitzer]

I reckon we could see another shootout like last years game. It'll be interesting to see if we can transfer our game to Marvel given our 2 wins have been at the MCG. There's no reason it shouldn't work just fine though, we were playing devoid of confidence and flair in our first 2 games.

One guy I'm still waiting to find his best form is Devon Smith. He has certainly come in underdone compared to last year and he's just been going rather than the outstanding form of last year. Hopefully he can get towards his best in the coming weeks.

 

[gillon]

Shocked that you guys can be so confident. I favor us to win but it's far from a certainty and North aren't as terrible as portrayed. This team can lose to anyone.

Noooooooo!?

 

[DallasCrane316]

Noooooooo!?

Well you never know! Matchups and whatnot

 

[DapperDon]

THEY LINED US UP CUP!

 

[eth-dog]

Gleeson is a logical replacement for Ridley if he has a broken hand.

 

[DapperJong]

I reckon we will win by 10 goals as North look pretty shit so far.
