[CBombers17]

Our leaders to step up and get a hold of them.

Us by 43 with a 4 quarter effort and no multiple goal kickers.

*Gonads out*

Weather will be fine during the day, meaning the ball will be greasy come 1/2 time and onwards. So I see big marks not being the call of the day.

It will be a smaller players evening, with someone like Colyer kicking 4 for us up forward and Licha 3, rotating at the bottom of the packs.

That being said, North will be competitive but behind all night, going down by less than two goals.

Essendon by 11 points.

 

[DapperDon]

Balls on line:

Dons by 42 points
Heppell with 39 touches
Carlisle to kick 9
Brad Scott to complain about the sun setting 11 minutes earlier than he was told.

I know he's not up for contention but I'd seriously love Kommers ferocity in our forward line right now.

 

[Bigruss96]

Flying over from adelaide for the game, Hopefully we can play at our best for 4 quarters. If we do we win! Anyone sitting in m4?

 

[Howard Moon]

31.12.198 v 11.7.73

too much to ask for again?

please?

 

[Ben the Gooner]

More likely to be 12.31.103 v 11.7.73

 

[Jam123]

I'll say Essendon by 7 points.

North 75 - Ess 82

 

[Harlequin]

I'd be happy with a 1 point win.

And I'll bring extra tissues to dry the tears of the North faithful

 

[srobbo]

Bombers by 13. Watson best on with 34 touches. Zaharakis kicks 3, Chappy with 3 and Winderlich swings forward with a couple in the last half.

Thats a promise

I'll hold you to that.

 

[Jam123]

Guys I just remembered that according to Barry, we won't be playing finals this year. Sucks hey?
So it's Port vs West Coast and North vs Richmond. Tips?

 

[Squeaky]

I'm more hopeful than confident this week.
It is nice to still be around during the finals - usually we're done & dusted by now.

Unfortunately the only thing consistent in our game is the inconsistency... Ironic.

Where do the goals come from? We haven't exactly been shooting the lights out lately...
As I said, I'm hopeful that we use the ball well forward of centre & use the best available option (it would be great if we have multiple multiple goal kickers - if you know what I mean)
Chap 3, Watto 2, Winders 2, Merrett 2, Ryder 2 etc. etc.

strong copy paste

 

[VelvetSledge]

Behinds?

ALL OF THEM

 

[Blind Turn]

All our forward half are capable of kicking multiple goals. It really does simply come down to how well our midfield and attacking defenders can swiftly move the ball into our forward 50. We need Hibbo to be freed up and pushing forward, likewise Dempsey and Hurley. If we see this I think we'll crush the Roos as I believe it is our most potent attacking structure. If they are forced to play the majority of the game deep in defense we'll struggle.

 

[westking]

Thompson will swing Hooker forward to kick five in the last...so the winning margin will be 30, but he could be saving that move for Grand Final day, so the margin could be 1 point by Joe Daniher after the siren.

 

[Halftimehero]

Help me out pls, who is BArry?

The biggest **** stain on BigFooty

Let's not talk about him. All that's been said is true. It's not going to change.
