[HBF]

Wouldn't give up on Cripps playing just yet.

Would seem pretty likely IMO.
Not sure the club would risk Menzel, particularly with Johnson being named.

 

[ShanDog]

Hope you are right mate!

Replace beer with 100% crushed apple cider and we're practically leading the same life ... poor bugger

Question. Is Sugar playing because:

1. His form warrants it?
2. He is being given an opportunity to not be de-listed/traded?
3. We are trying to increase his currency by getting a couple of games into him because the trade period and he's already gone?

I haven't been following the Ants/NB so I'm really not sure.

 

[BM123]

Lucas form has been good for the NB's on paper at least.

How do you guys think your boys will go tonight?

Would really do us a big a favour if you toppled Port.

We have a very inexperienced line up and missing nearly half of our best 22. We'll do our best but I can't guarantee anything

 

[Bluella]

Will be watching the game in a pub tonight - still trying to decide where. Am recruiting Richmond, Adelaide, Collingwood and Port supporters to join me. The first two will be cheering hard for the blueboys so hopefully that will help push us over the line. Pretty sure the pies supporter won't care either way.

Can't do cider, and my life is pretty good at the moment.......

We're in pretty good form at the moment, but I just think we're missing too many of our best 22 and Port are pretty much at full strength.

haha ... just joshin' with ya ... cider hit you like a curry?

We'll surely struggle tonight -- Port have really set themselves to make a point and we're very inexperienced. Should be a great test for some of the young guys.

I was thinking along the same lines, some good youngsters coming through though. Should give Port a good run nonetheless and wouldn't rule out an upset.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

A glorious 20 degrees already in Sunny Adelaide, not a puff of wind, and work is finished for the day.

Bit of pr0n, couple of Pales, plonk on the bag of fruit and off to AO in a few hours.

Having a pretty good morning............don't stuff it up for me Baggers.

I wouldn't either. Their form has been patchy at best, even with their largely non existent injury list.

What a luxury.

Good luck tonight fellas. Let's hope the Umps don't ruin it for you again.

Congratulations to Nick Holman on his debut!

Let's hope it's not another heart stopper like the Rnd 23 game last year.

If we get the 4 points again, I think I could live with a heart stopper

That game and the one when Kruezer went bunta in the last quarter, my 2 favourites.

That frigging Burgoyne after the siren goal, right up there with the worst.

I couldn't and I was at the game last year.

The last 30 seconds we were all yelling out 'ring the siren'!

i thought you were talking about Robinson for a second..

My dog was terrified of me for a week after that game
