Game Day The Dumont-Polec Shield, North v Ports R9

[afl2004]

4 to 8 goal win, I know people think this is a danger game but I would be stunned if north get close

You could fill several volumes in just a few days if you really get me talking.

They'll never merge any vic clubs now the landscape has changed, it was bloody lucky to get rid of Fitzroy in the end.

This comp is forever chained to the VFL, it's a good example to sports worldwide why state/region leagues should never morph into the biggest comp.

Yep. Now the Victorian State Government effectively funds the league in Victoria, it wont happen. It definitely should, but it won't.

Its going to be wet so we should have a real advantage after playing in Cairns.
Hinkleyball special, bomb it on Todd's head
Port by 20

Forecast to mostly clear by game time.

Why do we always get dragged to play at these once off venues?

It's not a once off venue.

North vs Port are exactly the sort of games the AFL wants to play at these sort of venues because the would make a loss if played in Melbourne.

 

[Fizzler]

Dreamt both teams were goalless at half time, let's see if that happens.
A goalless quarter in this match will be more unforgivable than any other

 

[Shane_Mag]

Should win but you never know with this group which Port turns up.

That is because North are a loss making venture.

Partly a trade off to ensure we keep the ANZAC Day game at home I would think. Plus all the millions of dollars they gave Port Adelaide in order to survive...

 

[Windy Cindy]

This is traditionally the game we **** up.

must start well

 

[backtozero]

It'll be a big win. North are as bad, if not worse, than West Coast.

Football in Australia desperately needs a Super League/ World Series Cricket shake up to break the Vic monopoly on basically every commercial facet of the game

We've played there once before in the infamous Umpire Reaming of 2013.

As JimmyBC posted, it is not a once off venue. Norf have played 28 games there going back to 2012, at least 2 games a season except for 2020 because of COVID.

 

[davesnothere]

So a 150 piont win and Richmond getting rolled puts us in the 8?

 

[Steve Dore]

Does Hinkley realise that the medi-sub is supposed to replace an injured player?

 

[Steve Dore]

Sympkin a late out for Norf.

Agree - missed opportunity to give him a well-deserved taste of AFL footy.

Schofield less likely to snap in half first time he sprints for the ball
