Preview Round 13: North Melbourne vs GWS @ Blundstone Arena | Sunday, 13 June @ 15:20

Should Tasmanian's being booking tickets for this game?

I suppose so if they:

a) want to go
b) are under the impression that the game's going ahead

Has their premier informed them of anything different?

Has been talk it may not go ahead.

 

[Snake_Baker]

Has been talk it may not go ahead.

I suppose he better keep the good folk of Tasmanian informed then.

I can't see why North & GWS won't get on a plane if he doesn't stop them.

 

[shinboner magic]

Heard they might stay in tassie for two weeks and play both gws/bris there

Don't see why not. Would assume if it doesn't go ahead all tickets will be refunded (as they have been in the past)

This time 5 years ago we were sitting pretty at 10-1. This year we’re 1-10. We’ll need to match our 2016 second half of 2-9 to ensure we have access to Jason Horne, I suspect. How would the panel feel about a 2-9 run home?

Nervous.... I don't want to go thru that s**t for anything other than a chance to pick Horne.

As it is I'm conflicted. He looks like a future multiple premiership player. But I want us to win more than one or two games for the rest of the year.

But anyway .... last year was worse, so going 2/9 is actually an improvement. If we go thru fits and starts for the rest of the year, improve consistently, throw a game away (thru inexperience) learn from it, then win the last two and still get pick 1 then we should all be happy. It means we are getting it together and getting a kid who looks like a beast.

At this point anything less than pick 1 would actually be a failure. We've copped a barrage of beatings - I don't want to see that for nothing. First time I can ever recall being in this position and thinking it was a fair representation of where we are at. I'll feel a lot more comfortable about having Horne in the bag if we're 5 more games down the road and 2 games + % off 17th.

Can’t recall too many drafts where there was a huge difference between pick 1 and pick 3 or 4. I suspect it’s no different this year. I am more worried that we have players like Ben McKay who has played in just 3 wins in his entire time at the club.

Play to win.

Anyway, we should fold if we don’t have Horne in our starting line-up in Round 1 next season. Simple as that.

It would be gross negligence that I could never forgive.

John ‘the truck ‘ Ralph saying North will get an exemption to be able to fly in fly out of Tasmania

It's more important that Tarryn. Jye, Tom Powell, Ben McKay + LDU continue improving to the point they make game winning contributions. If that happens and we don't get Horne we are in a much better place, than coming last and getting first pick.
If the cards fall our way and we can can win four games in the second half and still get Horne, that would be perfect.

Good on you.

I think we are very likely to finish last from here - there are a few ordinary teams but our start and percentage are so dire it’s a long way back - and I’m ok with seeing my first wooden spoon season, regardless of Horne. I’m not pinning all mine or the club‘s hopes on one player regardless of who he is or how good he looks as a junior. I also recognise the importance of improving and winning where we can, for retaining the good young players we have, keeping a high level of commitment and energy across the list, and attracting players we want.

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Really keen to see potentially Stevo and Taz back playing. Both very important cogs.

 

[Snake_Baker]

What is the injury situation?

Anyone aside from Tazz due back in the VFL?

Was told by 'an insider' they were very confident Corr would be right to go after the bye. Indefinite doesn't sound hopeful. Was also told by a friend of a friend of a friend of Corrs he won't play again this year. Reckon on average this info is correct.

That's very confusing to follow...

 

[King Corey]

Exciting. Playing an expansion side late afternoon on a Sunday in front of the diehards in Hobart certainly gets the blood pumping.

Definitely, maybe.

One says play next round, one says not again this year. The average (in between) is another 5 weeks or so.
