This time last year Brisbane were 13th. We just need to catch fire....I just don't see the ignition sadly

I can see the ignition, but rather it’ll end with self-immolation

Bounce the ball FFS!!

I was at the club yesterday. Charlie definitely looked like he was playing. No strapping etc, was moving around ok and did plenty of goal kicking practice.

If you weren’t aware, you’d have no reason to suspect he wasn’t playing.

Don’t shoot me if he doesn’t play lol.

North were very bad last time we played them - their back 6 in particular were crap.

Having said that if we go into “phone it in mode” we’ll lose.

 

[BlueLocke]

Hope Binns continues to develop. Can obviously find the footy and doesn’t get too exposed in the contest (compared to last year); just needs to have a bit more impact with his ball use.

Plenty of young players in this team, hope they take the lead in the second half of the season.

What right would we have to do that?
Even if top of ladder...
But especially as things are.

Because we’re inherently “flaky”.

Good morning all

 

[Blue Gertrude]

I'm away for the weekend so can't make the game, happily watching from a country pub.

I'm not feeling great about our ability to score, though their defence ain't great.

Feel we match up well in the midfield, and have faith in our solid backline with SOS back, picking up Weiters' slack and bossing everyone around.

If the Carlton Funk doesn't descend on the group, we should have a solid win...( BIG IF )

Go Baggers

Keep them to 5-6 goals and we will kick enough to get in……

 

[AndyLucimitis]

As someone joked last week - Blues up by 50pts at halftime and cruise to a comfortable 4pt win.

Fev going with Charlie as a late out on MMM radio

 

[Accidental genius]

Think it’ll be similar game to most other games this year …

We’ll do well early and then fade out.

The final margin will depend mostly on what kangas bring.
I still think we will win.

Trains are packed


Could be a decent crowd

No changes

Motlop sub

So if not a late out, will be subbed sometime during the second quarter.

 

[RAPPA]

Mots sub suggests he’s now internally ranked bottom of the small forward brigade. Spell in the twos seems imminent barring injuries

Aren't we just cycling every week between the small forwards. Has been White, Durdin and now Motlop in recent weeks.

Yep. It’s a case of which turd is the shiniest for the week and they get the gig.

Yeh not a fan of it either. I think we are playing an extra small forward for no reason. I would just be dropping one. They very rarely have much of an impact as sub anyway.

Let’s hope we are in the same situation as last week where we can rest him…..

Yeah don’t see the point of playing an extra small that is routinely not hitting the scoreboard (whichever one it is). May as well play an extra elsewhere, including for run and carry.

Charlie rode his bike to the g today?
