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: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
