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.

    Almost forgot to shatter everyone’s childhood innocence

     

    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: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
