[Autobahn]

Any word on Bags and whether he's a chance to play?

Just a knock and should be ok according to Goodwin(he's on AFL Gameday now).

 

[katana]

Our supporters have been brilliant this year, I'm expecting us to turn this into a home game, come ******* on Bombers.

We're playing Norf, that won't be hard.

Brad Scott just confirming what we already knew:

"You don't like them (Essendon) do you?"
"Well, I don't think the supporters like each other. We have great respect for them as a footy club."

We're playing Norf, that won't be hard.

I know, I know, but we really have to turn it up, show up in numbers and bloody erupt.

That will happen.

My parents and sister are coming (parents from country Vic) and they've only been to wins this year (all members btw).

Surely 50K Essendon fans @ a minimum.

9am.

Trying to find info regarding ticket limits as well but seems nothing coming up

 

[raskolnikov]

Surely 50K Essendon fans @ a minimum.

I've been to 7 games this year.5 wins (Anzac Day and St. Kilda the only losses). Hopefully I can keep that average up.

MCG just tweeted our cheersquad will be in M3 so let's fill the Southern Stand with Red and Black!

Our supporters have been brilliant this year, I'm expecting us to turn this into a home game, come ******* on Bombers.

We're playing Norf, it's already a home game.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Anyway just hope we get a fast start. North are weak as piss mentally with their backs to the wall so if we can get on top early I'm pretty confident we can stay there. They've got nobody with the fortitude to fight them back into a game except Boomer, who is capable of having that mad 15 mins and kicking/setting up 3 or 4 goals. Glad he's out.

I'll be very happy if we're in front at quarter time. They're front runners.

If we let them jump us I doubt they'll let us back in like Carlton did. Hopefully the boys got a wakeup yesterday.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Bomber Thompson

The bloke knows what it takes to win matches in September and now that his team is there he will make sure the boys will do some damage.

 

[Ashton Agar]

Any word on Bags and whether he's a chance to play?

It was only a cut above the eye wasn't it? I'd be stunned if he missed a week, especially a big final.

 

[Augustine]

Interesting stat for you guys. We're dead last on the ladder for 2nd quarters and 1st and 2nd on the ladder for 3rd and 4th quarters respectively. Interestingly, you're bottom 4 in last quarters but high on the ladder for 1st and 2nd quarters.

So all I'm hoping for is that we're within touching distance of you at half time.

 

[Zach Package]

What a ridiculous situation this is.

North Ballarat are playing Werribee in a VFL final, meaning North Melbourne players are playing against each other

 

[Lance Uppercut]

lol Norf

 

[Harlequin]

Thank goodness I paid my sons MCC membership so should be right for tickets either way.

Bring it on

Someone needs to go to that game and find a way to start a brawl.

if only we were that simple. our form is up and down in 5 minute blocks. Would lover to see us get 4 quarters together to see what we can do. i guess you guys are a bit the same? hopefully the not interested nth melbourne shows up. If both teams play to their potential will be a ripper of a game
