Preview Changes vs WCE

[zoomba23]

0-14 is a hell of a hoodoo, though.

Technically hoodoos are supposed to be broken. Well, it's at least the case with every other team in the comp

Port Adelaide in Adelaide will be tough but then Collingwood the week after are very gettable.

Four out of five looks like its reasonable to expect.

We almost beat Port in Adelaide last year. The umps probably played a part in their win and one of our less salubrious players had a few important brain fades.

We've done a few 2020s hoodoos this year.

Nah, that was one game where the umps were in our favour. Then we got the rub against the Crows in the final round and again against Pear in R1 this year. The Adelaide teams are the only ones below us on the ump totem pole. **** knows why

Was it?

Its possible I spose, I know someone on the main board started a thread about the umps hating Radelaide more than anyone else and at one point I read one of those umpire free kick ladders with Poort around us.

Lets hope thats the case in three and a half weeks then.

Jy goes inside and tags Reid,

PFFFF HAHAHA

Biggest game ever n clarkos tenure

After last week if there isn’t a reaction - heads should roll.
Either the coach or we blow it up and look to trade those over 25 that have flat lined.
Try to bring in guys for the future - there’s players not getting games for other teams that will be upgrades on our players

Time to be looking at that 2032 Finals Team!

We'll be still alive for this year if we can win 4 or 5 of our next block haha

Who knows with us, this week is huge.

If we're ever going to break it, this is the opportunity.

So it's our home game yet Eagles members can sit in their own seats?

We had no choice. Had to pay to attend this game to keep our memberships and the like so regardless of anything thats 44,500 tickets sold for North. Our memberships are also triple the price of yours as crazy as that sounds with most of our memberships costing around 850 bucks a year. You also are paying zero rent for this game to boot as WA Govt is covering that.

All in all you will probably make more money for this 1 game then you do for say 6 of your current home games

Its financially a good decision to sell a game... just not 2 is the issue.

My membership is $700~. For fewer home games.

Not sure where you're getting "triple the price" from?

850 is the cheap seat

 

[King Corey]

Yeh I'd love a home game experience where I'm not flanked by Carlton w***ers for Good Fridays in my own North Melbourne reserved seat.

 

[backtothedraft]

Looks like they'll be without two of their best players in Ginbey and McCarthy.

 

[ferball]

We'll probably end up missing X, FOS, Wardlaw and Hardeman.

Alive for what?

Another Finals Smashing?

I’m an optimist on here but I’d rather miss out than turn up a belting

 

[Blightys Barrel]

In 2025 and 2026 we have had 6 losses greater than 60 points. These are the changes for the next match.

• 25 Rd 4 Sydney > 3 changes
• 25 Rd 6 Carlton > 3 changes
• 25 Rd 16 Hawks > 5 changes
• 25 Rd 20 Geelong > 3 changes
• 26 Rd 10 Adelaide > 1 change
• 25 Rd 13 Fremantle > ?? changes

There are a few injuries in there contributing to these, just like Hardemann will this week. The match committee and Clarko will no doubt play the conservative hand at the Black Jack table and it will be 2 changes maximum.

Hardemann > Blamires
Logue/Fisher > Pink Eye/Junior Mascot who runs out on the ground.
