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.

Don't see anywhere else, so assume its an error?

 

Gotta be an error.

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.

[McQueen 17,863]

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.

Not the foot again!

[adonski 9,144]

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.

[dazzledavey36 48,734]

Hoping that means Brayshaw plays more inside mid today.

[dworship 3,342]

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

[Deestroy All 14,261]

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.

30+ touches is at a VERY attractive price

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

The Viney injury story was going around earlier in the week so it’s no surprise.

Was it? It’s a surprise to me and I was gobbling up any MFC related media I could find. I obviously need to do better at keeping my ear to the ground!

[Jaded No More 57,820]

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.
