Play ball.

A win would be brilliant, but given the way we've played lately, I'd settle with us being competitive for four quarters.

 

[sammie]

I'll just be listening to it on the radio. Am hoping for some form from a few players who have been underwhelming of late - Tarrant, MacMillan, Ziebell. I hope Gibson & Lachie can really step up to the 1s as well.

 

[sammie]

and a win would be nice

 

[TheKanga]

I want a win so bad, trying not to get my hopes up though.

 

[THE MOEMAN]

Sam Gibson is the sub, was hoping he got another full game

 

[ThePezDispenser]

Official sub?

 

[THE MOEMAN]

Official sub?

Yep off twitter and the afl website. Petrenko is their sub

Fail.

Honestly with so many other players struggling to impact the game for 4 quarters why would we make Gibson sub.

 

[grimface_87]

As pathetic as weve been for most of the year, a win would actually put us equal on points with 8th!

Hopefully Spitter can match his performance in last years game against the Crows

 

[roo beleaver]

So one of our best runners as a sub. WTF

 

[DarwinRoo]

These threads are useless. Little discussion and lots of bagging. Game day threads have jumped the shark.

 

[shinboner magic]

Scott has lost the plot making Gibson sub.
We need guys that run all day in the midfield.

Does he have any idea.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Maybe THEY are saving gibsons legs for late in the game where we need extra line breaking run. It's not like we've been full of pace in the last half of games lately...

 

[giantroo]

From the change rooms boys are pumped

I like the sound of that. In two minds to go down the pub to watch it. I have a funny feeling about today.

 

[THRILLHO]

We have no idea how to use the sub.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Eddie saying he plans to ask the hard questions to James at half time.

 

[gokangas]

I feel as relaxed as ever. Now the finals are out of contention there are no pressures. We will win this by 26 points!

 

[gokangas]

I lost faith big time in Lachie Hansen so lets hope toda is his rebirth. He has had a long time in the twos to be very hungry for ones. Come on Lachie - win us all back as believers.

 

[DarwinRoo]

So if you shouldn't have bloke who can run all day as your sub who should you have as your sub?

Someone with pace. No point playing someone who prides themselves on endurance when they'll only be out there for a quarter.

Amazing promo on Shinboner spirit. So good to see The King. We've trashed that brand.

David King: "Since its inception in 1925, the North Melbourne football club..."

I Think the word you want is 'inclusion' Kingy, clubs a touch older than that...

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Adelaides intensity looks high already.

Their zone is crazy, makes it look like its 10 on 3

We aren't a ******* brand!
