Preview Rd 11: Changes& Prematch discussion vs Brisbane

[Caracas]

I really can’t stand people who are pessimistic for the sake of being pessimistic.

Back your team in FFS.

No one gives a rats arse about your feelings.

Cruel, but fair, Dinsdale.

That's what happens when someone finds himself such a dropkick that they project that onto everything else. (Yes I mean me)

 

[Reginald0]

Nah
You're one the Good Guys FS

Ahern In
Do Brissy by heaps
ITS ALL GOOD

Real danger game here. Thought we had it all wrapped up against port at Etihad and look what happened. I’m quite nervous. Brisbane aren’t that bad.

Port game was 50/50

I have a feeling Ziebell will have a day out on Sunday.
Been threatening for a while.
Need a hard effort across the 18 possessions on the field. If we have control at half time could be a good day for us

I do like the votes of confidence we get in the MB. They predict a flogging in our favour too.

Has been below standard for a while to be honest. still contributing though.

Yeah but I thought we went into that game with momentum and their form was poor with a few outs. Anyway, whatever, would much prefer to be wrong obviously.

Interestingly I was completely convinced we’d beat Freo last week so much so that wasn’t even nervous watching the game. Strange.

 

[Only Forwards]

You guys worried about a loss. Haven’t you been watching?

I TRUST this team.

North by 42

Lemme start by saying I think we will win this game.

I have loved the way that we've gone about it.

We've brought pressure and effort every week.

However there is a little man in my head that nags at me with scars of times I've been burnt believing we'd turned the corner before.

I keep telling the little man to f*** off, but he is still there, waiting for the fall.

This team has exceeded my expectations. I want us to win, I am happy with where we're at.

 

[Bigeasy]

North by 58 points. Tight first quarter then we will wear them down and run away with it.

 

[Grogg]

I'm hoping for the continuation of the single-minded commitment we've shown all year. Do that and we should have them covered. They are an ordinary contested ball side where as we are very good. Control the contest and you control the game. I'd like to see Anderson take Zorko, BJ to Beams and believe that after those prime movers are taken out we get the game on our terms.

The Ruck will be an interesting duel. Goldy has Martin covered at tapouts but Martin has the pace and tank to cause some damage which will make Daw a useful back up in this match.

I think we'll get the job done.

It's not pessimism mate, it's realism. Realism of being a North supporter. I trust this team about as far as that bloke from Austin powers could run before he has a heart attack. And that's not changing until we consistently beat teams, whether they're the Frankston vfl side or bloody ******* Richmond.

 

[Chadwiko]

North by less than 2 goals.

This will be a wake-up game for players and fans alike.

 

[Digby Morrell]

I’ll delete my account if Ahern doesn’t play.

Hey. I'm not that much of a Fat Bastard.

 

[archereleven]

Dew has left their best contested player out. Cunners/jed to have blinders, nmfc to win by 65 points.

So we know Eagles is out. I don't pay ANY attention so... what kind of player is he?

 

[Only Forwards]

Dew

Which is cool and all.

But we play Brisbane.

Who?

 

[Clarke is King]

Who?

Chris Dew, Coach of the Brisbane Suns

 

[Only Forwards]

Brisbane Suns

Don't give the AFL ideas.

If they merged these teams they'd wind up with a list of 70 and the first 15 picks in 4 drafts.

 

[Snake_Baker]

The top 9 sides should break away from the pack this week, although I do give the Suns a sneaky chance of pushing Geelong.

The next round is going to be telling: North vs Geelong, Port vs Richmond, Melb vs Collingwood.

Then we'll have a nice rest while Geelong v Richmond & Sydney v Eagles battle it out.

Win the next two and we could be entrenched by the time we return after the bye.

Currently in Brisbane for work, any organized Roos catch ups in Brisbane for the game?
