State of Origin Series XIX Round 2 - Vic Metro vs Vic Country at MCG

[Gralin]

With both Victorian teams losing on the road first up the battle of the big V's shapes as an important Round 2 that could decide the fate of one team very early in Series XiX

Last Time They Met
​

Round 5 of Series XVIII saw Vic Country scrape home by 4 points, but it wasn't enough to claw the spot in the grand final out of their rivals clutches. A close match ended with beez fumbling the kick out at full back and brahj swooping for the go ahead goal, DemonJim missing a late chance to grab back the lead before the siren sounded.

Keys to Success​

Vic Country got good output from their debutants with TheGoatBaron (3.3) Pamcake1 (2.2) and Ocha905 (1.0) all hitting the scoreboard. Midfield numbers were down and the coaches would be expecting more from the All-SFA Captain Robertio this week, a big game from him and a couple of other quiet veterans to go with the enthusiasm of the kids could be the recipe for success

Vic Metro were seconds from a draw or win with gab213 beaten by the siren while going for goal, the half forward was too much for the Allies with 23 Disposals and 4.1 from the half forward flank in Round 1. The midfield got a lot of the qooty with 5 players getting 27 or more disposals, leading all comers was ruck JT_the_Man with 31. Metro will want that sort of dominance to translate into better scoreboard pressure, but 4 goals from that midfield group would make the coaches happy

Captains Please note Team Sheets are due by 11:59pm AWST Monday 1st July

The irony of your posting this on an online forum.

You know what we don't have that you do? Polluted air.

I just assumed you travelled into town to post on the forum occasionally. but I’m happy for you if you do have home internet now - cute.

And yes you do. We pollute, and the air blows over to you. It’s great.

Could be worse, could have the same colours as Carlton, mostly navy blue. That makes a grown man cry

Every time you post it's the same feeling, so we're used to it.

At least houses are affordable in the Country.

Yeah. But the expensive petrol counteracts that.

 

[okeydoke7]

You got out of lockdown yet? Ya mole!

Thankfully yes.

It must have been so nice for you when you weren’t locked down. You could have made the 3 hour trip to visit your next door neighbour.

Yes, I do know exactly where to get flannelette from.
Typical city slicker wants something just to trash it.

FYI; Every single Deptment Store that has ever existed in Melbs had it's origins in country Victoria.
