Who's that just over Zack's left shoulder?

That's the Mingma I believe.

 

[Runk]

Still hurting from the pre-season goal kicking challenge.

He actually probably is.

That's the Mingma I believe.

I want to dub him Ming the Merciless, but I'm not sure if he's actually merciless

 

[ghostdog]

He actually probably is.

...or Kyle has issued a silent but violent and Zaka is the first receiver.

I just can't reconcile people saying Stringer would ruin our culture lol.

Just look at him, you can see he really cares.

He's engagement with the kids is second to none. Arguably the most humble and caring across the whole group when it comes to things like this. Raz, Hurles & Hepp are awsome as well with the kids.

Loved the video with him on the club site. Well worth watching if anyone hasn’t seen it.

Jake Stringer visited children at Challenge in West Melbourne.

99% - We are going to physically intimidate them; they will not be able to handle our intensity & pressure; their players will be jumping at shadows; softest midfield group in the competition; front running flat tracking downhill skiing bunch of squibs.

1% - We will definitely win this game.

This is a make or break game. Most important game of the season.

They aren’t far off though, they’re a lot harder than us, we need to win this game on the spread with our pace.

Opening bounce.

Cunnigton gives a gut punch which results in a 50m penalty and a shot on goal in the square for Merret

Hope we flog them again

That's pretty much been us for the last couple of weeks I think.

Terry Wallace tipped us

Am actually glad that all and sundry are saying North will be too tough for us. Surely hearing that will get our blokes fired up and ready to prove people wrong.

 

[ILikeCheese]

This time tomorrow night the Norf board could be the most entertaining read of the year. Melts galore!
Stringer to kick 5 would be the cherry

 

[CBombers17]

Never forget.

We all have supporters like these but when that's your board of directors it's pretty scary stuff

 

[CBombers17]

Well we have 375 posts in our own preview thread...compared to 930 odd on the North board

Huge effort over there really when you think it's only 4 blokes with 40 user names each

Lol. Yes surely. We have such a proud history of being tough and proving the doubters wrong

I think you missed the point my man.

 

[Tassieboy]

We are very slight underdogs now. I am a bit surprised by that.

With all due respect, you guys did vote a couple of randoms off Bomberblitz onto your board due to their impeccable #standbyhird credentials.

All this time to read this thread but not reply to me.

Starting to think we're not having that beer.

Ya know what, I quite liked that move, leaving aside all the blah blah blah about the circumstances, your club was being buffeted by huge forces, national and international organisations, deals were being spun and done, but at the end of the day, footy clubs are about people, and that move was a great way to say, nah, we run the show.
