Preview Rd 11: Changes& Prematch discussion vs Brisbane

[Benj7]

I got nothing bad to say about the lions hope we just come out tomorrow and give it our best a crack the 100 points and keep them to under 70

Is jmac injured?

Is jmac injured?

It's the rumour going around.

 

[Devington]

Expecting us to clean them up to be honest. Margin close to the Carlton game.

It's a home game and our current form shits on theirs. No disrespect intend, it's simply how it is.

Only way we drop it is if, as the club has done in years past on occasion, we simply expect a win and pay them no respect. The vibe this year makes me think we're above that, especially after our ability to chokeslam carlton and enjoy pounding them into the mud.

 

[Cool Kangas]

Yes

Prove it

Not good

He’s been awesome this year. Hope it’s just a one week

If true the only guy on the emergency list not playing in the VFL is Tom Murphy however I admit I might have missed him???

Was getting worked on a training Thursday.

Still got up & did some run throughs so nothing major.

If he misses it would be precautionary. Pity too, he has played some good footy the last couple of weeks.

Is jmac injured?

He went over on what looked like an ankle today at training. Was on the deck at CHB for around a minute before hobbling towards the race with concerned medical staff in tow. Lmac and Marley did not look distracted nor surprised to see him down

 

[ferball]

Everyone here going on Sunday?

Nope. I'm 1000 miles away. And due to a prior commitment I won't even catch the game. Spewing. Was really looking forward to Pauly's debut.

Same here. Feels strange to be so confident, but I think we are playing really good football right now and not coughing up games. When we lose, we lose honestly (perhaps the Richmond game aside). We should get it over the Lions.

Where are you going ferball?

 

[Arthur Cloke]

Just got home from the DreamTeam game at the G. Time to cool my jets and re-load for tomorrow.
Being 7&4 at the turn is a dream come true. And then we head to the Sleepy Hollow. I already got my tickets for that game because I can afford it after getting a significant pay rise last week.

There is a big Rural fire Service training day on in a town not far away. We have dry winters and wet summers so our fire season starts around now. I'm supervising one of my trainee crew leaders but he is pretty switched on so i think I'll be able to sneak some time on the app if nothing else. Its a requirement that he gets a certain number of hours of supervised crew leading before he qualifies but its a formality with this guy so i might see some of the game.

Today is like a pre season practice game before the real stuff gets underway in the next month or so. Unless we get unexpected unseasonal rain. (Which we hope happens every winter but it rarely does.)

Wow. Good on you. Thanks for looking after communities.

 

[ferball]

Cheers.

I recommend anyone who gets the opportunity should do it.

Its like playing footy but the opposition are bushfires - great camaraderie, a great sense of doing something for your community and a real challenge ... seriously one of the best things I've ever done in my life, tho it has its intense and ****ed up moments.

Last week we buried one of our former members, he was an older bloke who had retired. He was a bit of dodgy chap. Wharfie from Sydney during the 70s and a bit of an enforcer. He told me he'd done a lot of dodgy things in his life but his time in the RFS was one of the few things he was truly proud of. I really get that. My former captain and I drove 600 odd kms round trip just to wear a uniform at his funeral. Its that sort of organisation.

I used the AFL live pass when living overseas last year, long as you got decent internet it's pretty good. Can buy a week, a month or porbably the remaining half of the season now.

Cracking day for it!

I use the same one Ischenko has linked to above here. It's WatchAFL. Excellent streaming quality, provided you have a pretty updated search engine that it recognizes. Latest Google Chrome is always compatible for me so far. No complaints with anything about it so far, and you can buy viewing by week/month, etc., but I don't know how much it costs for those as I always buy the yearly pass. Good luck!

 

[rickety]

Late change?

 

[andana]

Berry out

 

[Benno_900]

We start poorly, finish strongly. Lions are up and about. Prepare for a loss. Good luck.

Nailed it.
