Whats the mail on the weather in Tassie for the game?

Might be rain about but shouldn't be too bad. Going to be cold AF though, of that I am sure.

Unlucky,  but I can see this happening if Maynard is in. The weather might work against Jack.

How?

In my opinion, Trengove has better ball handling skills than JKH and a more hardened body.

If it's going to be wet and slippery, everyone will be affected.

I'll bet that it doesn't rain any more than just enough to annoy the spectators. Won't be a factor.

Wind more likely to be a factor.

Sorry, meant to say if it's going to be wet like predicted, Trengove, in my opinion, can't cover the ground as quickly as JKH and if it's a scrap, a yard or two can make a big difference. JKH is no mug when it comes to hardness either, he's tackling is actually strong.

[McQueen 17,864]

Team announcements are like crack to me.

I want it now!

I'm happy with no change, keeping a settled team is good for confidence with each other. 

Lets smash the Roos!

[Skuit 10,031]

Well that was an anti-CorMayx.

Couple of potato gems and a hash brown.

 

[Rodney (Balls) Grinter 10,810]

Non changes a good outcome for this week.  No risking Jones - keep him and Bernie fresh for the Great Wankers Side.

...but first let's smash these Norf pricks.

I think we went in unchanged after beating a South Australian team earlier in the year. Stay away from the omens thread.

[brendan 3,434]

Preuss and tarrant will be under done, hope Jesse runs him up and down the ground, north will no doubt try and rough us up like last time hope we don't fall for it again just play the ball 

[McQueen 17,864]

Hoping Trengove gets license to hunt the footy a bit more through the midfield.

That would be nice.  I felt last week's game really didn't really suit him to get involved in a big way.  It looked too much like he was playing cautious, within himself, trying harder not to make mistakes than taking the game on.

His skills liking up through half forward would be good.  My recollection of him at his peak was that his foot skills were pretty handy.

I know this [censored] probably belong in the JT thread, but beyond beating Norf, my second football hope for the WE is that Jack builds his place back as an AFL footballer.  The ultimate footy story, the side that was down and out climbs it's way back, along with the player who shared the same fate.

Come'on Demons, Come'on Jack (s)!

Love the auto sensor. The words Wankers and pricks are fine, but [censored] is too bad for the site with the adult dating sites as sponsors - get that!

He might feel more at home, it'll probably have a bit more of a suburban footy feel to it which is what he's been doing for the last couple of seasons. 

Hope he is able to put in a really good game, like many here I just want to see him back playing regular AFL footy. Whether that's in Red and Blue or not I actually don't mind, but let's see how he goes this week. 

Also I'm not feeling like this is MFCSS but I think it would be a mistake to take North lightly here. We definitely did earlier in the year and they got the jump on us, I know we've developed further as a team but for the first bounce we should bully them around like teams have done to us in the past. At 3 quarter time I want to see us with a big score and cruising comfortably. 

[Lord Travis 10,726]

No change is a good result for us. Next week Jones and Vince back and we'll be fielding our best team all year at the right end of the season.

It would be awesome to get that % back over 110%. They dont have a lot to play for, we go alright down there....in fact we go alright anywhere away (except Darwin). If theyre not switched on, then i would expect an 8 goal + win. Might be the difference in a ladder position later on....

[Hellaintabadplacetobe 4,294]

Maynard Emergency, I'm expecting a late change!

[What 18,810]

Good to see Maynard is close.  He was elevated so may play as a late change.

On a non Melbourne note, I am surprised to see the Saints have rested Nick Riewoldt for the game vs Port.  They are surely in no position to do that when they already face an uphill battle to play finals.

Also the Tigers lost Jack Riewoldt and Prestia, while the Suns get back Ablett and May.

Gold Coast will win that game.

riewoldt was obviously cooked last week. could hardly raise a trot

[hells bells 2,023]

If it's wet I'm worried that our heavy reliance on handball could become a problem.  Must keep the ball moving forward at all times.
