Unofficial Preview Changes and pre match discussion vs Brisbane - Gather Round

[tazaa]

All the horses have to run on a heavy track, might come down to which ones handle conditions better

Our only chance of sticking with them is to bring pressure over 4 quarters from all 23.

Simple old school basic footy.

I hope that its cold and freezing cause that would suit us easily over them. Helped us in Tassie last year.

everyone calling Spargo fat should post a shirtless pic tbh. Show us how elite and disciplined you are

Thats what you are meant to look like when you are paid to be fit

It’s cold and windy here today

Gather round will need a roof next year

With the forecast to be wet and slippery keeping ccj in is a mastermind decision as he has been playing like its wet and heavy for the past 2 weeks.

 

[Frank Thring]

I actually think the rain will help CCJ

CCJ to rack up 43 hitouts, 24 disposals and 5 goals, and no those aren't his career numbers.

 

[Its a Process]

It was looking hard before the changes - looks near impossible now.

Hopefully we can make it tough for them.

 

[Gasometer]

No rain predicted tomorrow but with the amount of rain it will be a soft surface

This week is one of the only weeks of the season where I won't be nervous at all. This is basically a guaranteed loss.

Don't get me wrong, I still want us to be competitive. But the weight of absolutely zero expectations means this will largely be stress free footy as a spectator this week for me.

Agree - to a point.

However if we get done by 100 points that will undo all of the good work we have done to date this season and put us squarely back in the mix with the Carlton's, Essendon's and Richmond's of the world.

Just have to look at carltons game to see how quickly a quality oppo unpressured for a small period of time can pile on a match winning margin.

Going in well undermanned theres a huge probobility of one of those run ons occuring.

But it is what it is and untill we get sufficient depth this scenario will be all to common.

Also a good example of how a lower team can stop it getting as ugly as might have been expected if they keep up the pressure. Although I don’t think we need more inspiration or insight than we should have from our last game against them.

Neither are world beaters, but pink is absolutely the better option over Logue.

 

[Northball]

the fat police are here

Woah man, Spargo is only (redacted)kg

Logue, Corr, Daniel and McDonald in a backline and it’s 2026…

 

[Liam Boy]

i get it... but like i also don't get paid 6 figures to keep fit

I just find it distasteful, you can comment on a guy's fitness if he's struggling to run out games and such but if you're talking about the shape of his body that's another thing.

Some people just look different to others and it's not necessarily a reflection of how much they eat or exercise, or their football ability for that matter. Anyway, here's a completely unrelated video:

Pig's whistle. WTF is it with people saying we absolutely can't win this? I wouldn't be putting money on it but Brisbane often have average early-season form, it's at an unfamiliar ground, will be wet and windy.

Undermanned North vs the best side in the competition, at full strength.

Feels a bit different this year, going in at 3-1 rather then staring down a belting to go 0-5.

Great opportunity to test ourselves against the bench mark, bring the effort and pressure and that is all we can ask for, as both clubs are in a different stratosphere.

Personally feel will be a very tough day, however still excited and interested to see how we stack up against the best.

I’m keen to see how the Lions go. They smashed st Kilda and Collingwood. But Are they good enough against the leagues best? I guess we’ll see this week.
