What will we get?

[gokangas]

Waking up to a Sunday where we are the last game is good and bad I suppose. Don't have to live with the disappointment all weekend if we lose on a Friday night. But I am nervous as all get out waiting for all the other games to pass.

So which north will we get tonight (this arvo)?

West Coke Duckers never easy for us, especially at home, but last trip to WA gives me some hope. I reckon we can do this - 19 point winners!

Well i am still up and drinking, hope we can win but not optimistic given our form. When was the last time we beat these w***ers in Perth?

 

[Marstermind]

Last win v Eagles in Perth. ..2010. Boomer's 300th. Before that 1998. Not confident at all tonight.

I'm worried about their forward line.

Barring Glass & Waters who lives on the LTI list, this is their best 22 while we're arguably missing Grima, Wells, McMillan and Tarrant, not to mention Swallow is a month+ from being the player we know.

If we can win the clearances we're a chance. Let WCE get first use at home we'll be chasing loose players all over Subi for a long afternoon.

Feeling a lot better having Greenwood, Cunnington and Swallow in one side, if Ziebell can continue last weeks form (he doesn't mind Subiaco) and NDS can win some tough ball, we're a chance.

I genuinely think if we win this you can cancel your September holidays.

Not confident at all!

Both forward lines will have the advantage, now that Glass is out, Majak should stay as close to goal as possible, if Mckenzie doesn't go to him it will allow Majak to play against an opponent who is smaller and last time he did that he kicked 6 on Tom Young or if Mckenzie does go to Majak it allows Petrie or Black to be able to dominate over their direct opponent.

Its all about the midfield, we start slowly again and its all done within the first 10 mins.

Put it this way, its either going to be really shit or really ****ing good. We dont do things in between.

As North supporters, we don't have the luxury of confidence unfortunately.

 

[Jack Reacher]

Will either be a very close game or we will get smacked, I'm tipping West Coast by 25 points after a tight tussle, but would not at all be surprised if we lost by 10 goals.

Not strictly true. It's that OR we don't have the luxury of having confidence repaid.

 

[Shinboner '07]

This timeslot sucks.. Just effin win boys

 

[tales129]

Everytime I've felt uncomfortable about our chances this year we've surprisingly won. Port, sydney and freo. Thought we would be a right show against the pies, cats and dons but no good.

I dont feel confident today, I think they may have the firepower to over run us over there, but if it was in melbourne different story.

 

[Heaps of fun]

I'm not confident, probably a good thing. Come what may.

 

[mockingbeat]

Attending with zero confidence. Have learnt not to get my hopes up over here.

If we lose I'm blowing up WA...that is if Scottywiper doesn't do it before me.

I hate these duckers more than anything else in life.

More than the * ?

x 1000. If you grew up in WA with a family full of West Coast members you'd understand the hatred. If I had enough money and they were up for sale I'd ruin them intentionally

 

[gokangas]

Good news is if we lose I don't know any West Coke supporters.

As loss puts us outside the 8. History says that if you are outside of the 8 around in June, it's unlikely you'll force your way in. This game is a MUST win.

We could lose our next three games and still make the 8 comfortably with our draw.

Not going to lie, I will lose my shit if we lose to Richmond

 

[Benno_900]

I will lose my shit if we lose to any of them (we owe West Coast and Adelaide).

Just stating that a loss today is by no means catastrophic. This board will go into meltdown though as usual.

You're right. But boy, I hope to God our players are not thinking that!
