Prediction Changes v Cats

[the conch]

Any body else losing faith in our medicos who more and more only give us half the story? As John Lennon said: "Just gimme some truth".

Wonder if he's giving Moyd and Suckling a bit of a rest before finals rather than serious injury?

 

[Northern Dogs]

I'm a devout follower of the religion of Charlie Sutton. When the going gets tough you get around the team and you defiantly stick it up the detractors.

Well said Mike.

This is AFL f.f.s. ANYTHING can happen on any particular day. It has been known for Team 18 to roll Team 1, so why are most of us giving up before the first ball is bounced. This is our team, so just maybe don't you all think, that our team may need our support in times when the odds are against us.

Go dogs! You have nothing to lose, so go for the big one and show the doomsday set what we are made off.

Ah, my "rope a dope" strategy has been employed by Bev, he's gone about it slightly differently to my suggestion to kick off this thread, but it's the same premis. Who says he doesn't read BF.

Now that my master plan has been employed we just need the Cats to fall for it. You know what they are just stupid enough to do it.

Reckon so

 

[the conch]

He prioritises our defence too much dude, Morris goes down he throws Roughy down back

It kills us offensively and is why nearly every forward at the club has struggled this year because Bev doesn't try enough things forward


Seriously I'd love to see Picken used at full forward even, he's smart and can mark the damn thing

Or Easton

Wallace said this 20 yrs ago today July 28 1996

Joe, where have you been?

 

[Spectre]

Reckon so

By that logic, why risk Stringer and Libba? Why go in with an underdone Dahl and (possibly) Mclean?

They need games to get match fitness. The other 3 old buggers need a breather.

Doubt Stringer and Libba have lost match fitness with just a week off each.

Can't actually follow what Bev is up to be interesting to see what the mad genius does.

I wonder if they'd benefit more from a game off at Etihad. Let them play in Geelong then give them the roos game off.

 

[the conch]

Poor kicking skills?
The inability to lay a tackle?
Poor positioning?
Edit: I forgot, the inability to keep his feet in a contest?

He wasn't that bad. He laid some pretty hard tackles.

 

[the conch]

I can't shake this weirdly optimistic feeling. I reckon we will win.

At least this game won't be as stressful as one's where we should win

 

[immortalmike]

Yes he is and not in the AFL he hasn't.

 

[the conch]

Who are you and what have you done with immortalmike??

That's a crack up.
(As if someone would take over his identity to post on BF.)

 

[TiAn_]

Great to see Cordy playing.

Assume Hamling will play forward.

Expecting three quarters of banging our head against a wall and one quarter of true suffering. In no particular order.

Hopefully Bad Geelong turns up and we sneak a win.

 

[Allan Shorty]

Someone remind me of that win at Geelong, early 2000s, we were miles Behind and came back... Memory hazy but ahhhh that was a great day to be alive.

 

[Igloo]

Is there anything in the rules against bringing a baseball bat onto the field? Maybe we can do that with Adcock and just tell him to swing for the fences.
Ah well, let's hope he goes ok.

I'll laugh if we win. Looking forward to it.

 

[Zeno The Great]

I'm going down with 3 cats supporters. Any good bar/pub recommendations so i can go drink on my own while they go to the footy. Is Lyric still open?!?

 

[dergert]

Hoping this game hasn't already been lost due to match selections.

One designated ruckman still boggles me.

 

[adam10]

I wouldn't hate our team selection if we named Minson, but we didn't and when Tom Boyd goes to the ruck we will not have a forward target to kick to (even he isn't enough alone) and Harry Taylor as he always does against us will have a field day.

Scotty West played a blinder in the second half.

 

[Reptilia]

Backs are against the wall... Especially after Baretts comments.

Love it.

 

[Igloo]

Oh god, Harry Taylor is going to **** us up again, isn't he. I'm tired of that show.

 

[gimp!]

Oh god, Harry Taylor is going to **** us up again, isn't he. I'm tired of that show.

You live close, go **** him up.

 

[Mattdougie]

We are essentially 4 games clear, how are we in trouble, St Kilda is not going to win every game from here, they lost to the Suns a few weeks back for Christ sake, they aren't good enough to stay up for many games in row, bookmark it.

If they win 4 and we win one it will be very close


And I wasn't saying we were in trouble in terms of missing the 8 only I just think the injuries are now going to smash us.

We have been brave but I'm not sure we have much left unfortunately

Hope I'm wrong I really do but o saw some really worrying things from the boys when I was at club on Sunday. They looked defeated for the first time this year and
