Actually feel slightly more confident about this week than I did about last week for some unknown reason (was concerned about North at Marvel). Even with Lever out I think we will give a good account similar to v GWS: whether we can win though, no idea.

Please make it stop we’re already dead

Reckon we are in trouble in this game big time, we just can’t cover 4-5 key outs of the moment no depth in the list

Dont even tempt fate….

Hopefully….but May being out last week also caused a shift in the odds the market seems to know these things

North shortening a fair bit in the betting….hope that doesn’t mean more late outs for us?

Keen to see what he can do this week against a much weaker defence and in dry conditions

This only comes up coz some of us are baited into caring by the Sam McClures of the world....tipping into his rubbish is what is truly pathetic

Only if we are 100 points up in the Grand Final with 5 mins to go

100% agree...we are a smaller club with a small hardcore fanbase, why is that so bad? In the Redlegs we were making plenty of noise.... So sick of these so called "supporters" joining in with the media to stick the boots in, what good does it do anyone??

What are we doing at training punching each other in the throat!?

hope he puts a hit on a few GWS defenders

the mini rebuild continues...we copped a lot of flak for a poor season last year but still won 11 games while getting plenty of kids in, better than ending up ancient like Collingwood

I like it...the excitement and speed of youth early in the season, Goody must have been watching the Tigers last night!

also worked for me to solve the same issue

I would play 3 tall forwards even if there is going to be a bit of wind and rain...never go in too short at the MCG its asking for trouble. Turner has enough tricks to be dangerous he's got that bit of X factor about him, I would play him with JVR and also debut Johnson to help Max in ruck and take his turn forward.

GWS will have a short forwardline with all their injuries to talls, so will need the midfield to be on their pressure game, force as many long high balls as possible for May/Lever/Petty to intercept.

Please not 4-6….

Who is the Giants back up ruckman anyway I have no idea…?

Going to be tough they are a high octane, high pressure team with plenty of skill…but I think we will provide a tougher midfield challenge than the Pies did and with the home ground advantage on our side, we’re a chance.

Sounds like a solid hit out and hopefully no fresh injured so we can hit GWS with a strong side and hopefully secure a first up win

Good friends with Clayton too apparently...whether the pair of them spending a lot of time together is a good idea is debatable, but I would certainly entertain the idea if he could commit.

MAFS style

Bizarre injury how does a grown man break his thumb in a door!?….sus

Shame he is out his lack of chasing and general air of disinterest defensively would be a benefit to us
