Game Day North Vs *

[Supa_Nova]

I’d have always agreed with you in the past about this, N. On the face of it Corr is a vastly superior player. However, I worry that he doesn’t gel with Comben.

Doesn't gel with comben AND logue. Had some terrific footy last year without logue. Actually might just be the logue factor tbh

 

[Rod Stroker]

Gone the early melt.
I’ll give them until 1/4 time

Autopsy thread incoming..

 

[Ligma]

North by a billion

 

[Ashley B]

Corr must've really impressed during his 0 games in the reserves.

Purchased coffees and placed them on all the coaches desks . Also moved their vehicles so they didn’t receive parking fines during his weeks off .

 

[Chadwiko]

Also moved their vehicles so they didn’t receive parking fines during his weeks off .

Extremely accurate and necessary around Arden St.

 

[Chadwiko]

Essendon played on Friday last week in Melbourne.
We played on Saturday in Adelaide.

Kinda BS that we have a 5 day break after travelling interstate. Wouldn't be shocked if we just look tired and have ****-all run in the legs tonight.

 

[Duck the GOAT]

Logue, Corr, Tucker all dropped. Good to see at the least some demands being placed on senior players.
Spotlight is on CD tonight. Needs to pull his finger out.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Win would be nice. Especially against this mob.

 

[Ashley B]

If Corr in who would be out Hardeman ? Just noticed who it was

 

[Ashley B]

Win would be nice. Especially against this mob.

Any win would be nice

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Corr is back. Brilliant.

The ‘inexplicable zoning off’ role has been refilled.

 

[THE_GUN]

Good Luck and keep hope guys
Nobody expected you to beat Melbourne or Richmond to beat Carlton & Gold Coast

North supporters need this Clarko & Players
its Time

 

[Masked Avenger]

Let me save everyone the time.

We'll come out and huff and puff. A few little pushes and shoves, oh yes we'll mean business.

A few electric clearances. Several exciting chains ending in kicks to a lone Essendon defender. But what plays! 5 inside 50s in the 1st 2 minutes.

Luke McDonald will then infringe, they'll move it end to end without us touching it. Uncontested mark, goal

We'll lose concentration, they'll run it out of the middle without resistance, goal.

Several stoppages, beautiful play as Sheezel does a great Cunnington style handball to a running Daniel. Crowd goes wild.

Daniel gets a free but ploughs it straight to Merrett who dump kicks it, pack forms, ball spills to Caddy all by himself who picks it up and snaps. Goal.

North defenders furiously high 5, give each supportive pats and regroup.

Free to Xerri, long kick forward, stoppage. No system but ball spills and Larkey toe pokes through.

30 seconds from quarter time Zurhaar unfairly pinged HTB. Throws ball back too loopily. 50 metres,goal. * crowd celebrate like its goal of the year.

Quarter Time Score: 1.0.6-4.0.24

You know the rest.

Geez they've certainly worn you down.

 

[bennymate]

If Corr plays its not even worth watching

 

[danj]

I’m taking the binoculars of doom tonight, every time I take them we lose

Tonight it will be different, tonight we will win I feel it in my bladder, but I do have an enlarged prostate so it could just be that

No no we will win I feel it in my bones, they’re arthritic but mostly ok

You have to feel for the AFL a bit when it comes to the difficulty they have in fixturing matches. Obviously, after an interstate game on a Saturday, it would have been a hard decision for the AFL to have to squeeze North in to a Thursday night match as they'd have some concerns about the shortened break after an interstate game.

But I guess every team will have to take a similar hit for the good of the competition at some time in the future. Collingwood for example, might have to play on a shortened break after the arduous road trip to Marvel Stadium or heaven forbid, after an expedition to Kardinia Park.

 

[rickety]

The whole anger of the last few days will be put behind us soon after the first bounce tonight.




That flicker of hope that keeps us going, will be doused when whichever maggot pings X for shepherding and Goldenstein gets a free.

And we'll be bumf#cked angry for the next umpteen days. Just you wait and see, OI!

 

[Elroo]

Setup in my cabin, waiting for the game to start.



Go Roos!

 

[Chadwiko]

The whole anger of the last few days will be put behind us soon after the first bounce tonight.

And will be replaced with a new, more furious anger!

 

[TheKanga]

Sitting in the office on a boring Thursday just waiting for tonight...

[Ashley B]

I shall leave this thread now and take up my match day position See you all in the autopsy thread hopefully after the game and not at halftime.

Who the **** let them in?

 

[McGooley]

WE ARE READY

May I introduce Team Mcgooley

This is my starting line-up for Game Day - and most days to be honest.
My main man & XO is named (naturally) Laidley (JYD)
We also have various condiments to enhance or calm whatever prevailing emotions at the time need it.
They get a fair workout

It`s a team effort & we all play our role & are putting in extras for this game v the scum.
