If North play anything like they did last week and we don’t humiliate them, I’ll be really quite cross.

Raz due for a big one, lock him in for 4+ today.

Nice little brain work out over my morning coffee:

Bombers: BJ(Ridley), McKernan (Clarke), Smith (Zahak), Langford (Parish), Dea (Shiel), Colyer (Redman).

Roos: McDonald (Pittard), Clarke (Hall), Daw (Zurhaar), Williams (LDU), Hrovat (Scott),Murphy (Polac).

Strong differences for both. Can’t wait for a hard fought battle. Roos will be expecting us to try do what we did to brisbane last week and smash pur way through the first quarter. Bombers better expect some resisitance.

Maybe more the McKernan of Blitz. Shows some excellent form and then goes missing.
Up to @bomberstan to regroup and bounce back.

Like the side.

Like that Ham is the likely cover for Zaha.

Not sure how people are screaming for Francis in, after our backline’s dominant display last week.

I think the tea lady is @bomberstan’s Mum. He must have been found out and she’s turned off the Wi-Fi as punishment.

Tagging is a craft that takes a long time to learn. You can’t just tell Guelfi to tag one of the best players in the AFL and expect him to have any kind of success. He’d e better off playing his normal role. The only way to keep Higgins under control if for the likes of Shiel and Merrett to beat him at the contest and apply pressure every time he has the ball, which will be a lot.

I have a feeling that we will either smash them by 25-63 points, or they may get over the line and beat us by 1 or 2 or even 7 goals. If we play really well and they don’t, I can see this being a good win. But we may play badly and they’ll do well and smash us. Or just beat us. On the other hand, I think if they play good and we play bad, we’ll get beaten, especially if they score higher. Scott is a canny coach and will know that to stop our fast run through the middle, they will need to build a wall, kinda, to stop our run through the middle. If they work this out, and we play very very well, we might still be able to get a win, but only if they don’t play as good as us. Anyway, I’m not sure what will happen.

I think it’s going to be a very frustrating low scoring game. They will make the game very ugly and give us no room to move. But won’t be able to score much themselves. Could go either way.

Lol, I think u have pretty much all possible results covered. Not just 2.:grin:

Incisive.

To be fair, you did narrow the margin down to a 105-point window.

Hooker, Hurley, Ambrose and Saad give me a base level of confidence for this one.
