If that’s the case I wonder which one of Chandler, Baker or Jones gets a run? 

Chandler played the other night so wouldn't think it would be him.

Guess would be Jones for Viney, Baker the sub.

    Apologies if already mentioned, but apparently Viney might be a late out. (Not confirmed)

     

    That would be a shame, but I think it is a difficulty (should it occur) that we can overcome, such is our depth.

    In keeping with the theme of famous quotes, here’s my offering:

    “The snozzberries taste like snozzberries.” - Willy Wonka 

    My point is, motivational quotes are great ‘n’ all, but at the end of the day it’s actions and not words that win games. 
    GO THE MIGHTY DEEEEEZ 

    ❤️?❤️?
     

    incidentally, want your innocent childhood shattered in one fell swoop? Then look up Roald Dahl’s definition of snozzberries. 
    I sincerely apologise in advance.

    Only way we lose this is inaccurate kicking which has been a weak point this season. 

    From Tom Browne: Understand Jack Viney late out and won’t play today. Baker In. Viney trained yesterday but had some foot soreness.

    Two points on the game:

    1. North have one of the worst snipers in the league:  Cunnington!  He will set out to inflict as much damage as possible to our stars, mostly off the ball/behind play.  He can't be allowed to get away with those antics.  Our players need to rally early to protect each other.

    2. We have had a few slow starts and had to come back to win.  This is a game where I really wants us to come out firing in the first quarter:  not just play well but kick straight.  Nothing like scoreboard pressure.

    This is the first time I've been nervous about a game, this year.  I think we will win but I'll be glad when the final siren blows.

    Yes I'm more than just a little worried what 'missing t' will get up to if they're getting a right flogging.

    Kinda strange inclusion. With BBBrown in I woulda thought they’d like to get some time into TMac on a wing... Less likely to happen with Baker in. Unless Brayshaw just goes straight into the guts today

    Gee those feet of his have given him some grief.  Hopefully nothing major, super important player.

    To anyone who thinks North are any chance at all I’d be throwing a lobster on it because if they get up $300 should help ease the pain. 

    Given he was named to play to begin with should hopefully indicate it was nothing on major concern

    My thoughts exactly.

    Hope it stays dry.

    I wonder if we're going to have to manage Vineys load this year?

    Sounds like an injury that's never going to go away completely.

    Hoping that means Brayshaw plays more inside mid today.

    Just setting off on the ferry. 10 dees to every norf supporter. Hope that is a good omen

    I’m one of those idiots that cracks it at a horrible looking win. Freo round 1 didn’t impress me and I worried about what was to come. 
     

    But not today, I’ll take a 1 point scrapper if that’s what it takes. Coming off a big win, there must come a point when things go right for North, Adelaide looked like complete [censored] last year until they didn’t. 
     

    That said I expect to smash em. I just hope everyone, myself included keeps their [censored] together if we don’t.

    It'd take $100 on Nth +40 for me to get over a loss today.


    Not the damn foot again! Ffs! 
     

    I am thinking Gus into the guts and Baker to the wing.

    They might opt to give Jordon more game time in the middle if Viney is out and keep Gus on the wing, nice to have options though.

    I'm not.

    I hope he plays exactly the re he has all year. And I suspect he will.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
