Roos v WCE

[ARDENSTREETforever]

Good luck for the big game this weekend.... i will be there... i go every week, and i'll more than likely be the only person there...

West Coast don't really rate a mention over in Melbourne land, simply because they dont win much away from Subi... BUT!!! i am very concerned with the game.... Smallish ground (TD) both sides have got excllent midfields, and both have pretty crappy forward lines.... but w've got SAV!!! Hopefully he can run amok (eg:Richmond game)

Anyways good luck.... Roos and the Toasters.... may the best team win.... NB96

How are you 'concerned' when on the AFL board you predicted -

"North by plenty.... probably 50-60."

Hmm...

Also, this game is at the one of the leagues larger grounds, Manuka Oval not the Telstra Dome. So if you go along to Telstra this Sunday, yes, you will be more than likely the only person there.

The larger ground will suit our free running, long kicking style of play.

Completely depends whether or not the Eagles show up to play as they are as good a team (if not better) than North Melbourne when turned on.

West Coast not without a hope but I'm not tipping them away. North by 25 or so.

Yeah Manuka was the ground i was referring too... its about the same size of the Telstra Dome...

Manuka is not a big ground.... have you been there??
i have on many occasions... its a small, little postage stamp with NO atmosphere

Manuka is 4 metres longer and 20.4 metres wider than Telstra.

It's size is more comparable to the MCG.

We haven't lost to the Roos since Peter Bell left the club. Its been a while you could say. I'm tipping we keep the streak going a little longer.

ahh f*ck a duck.

Telstra Stadium/Telstra Dome, why can't they have some bloody imagination?

Make that 10.4 wider, 4.5 longer

Still, I was right about the G...
