We will get grudgy if north play their best footy and we stink it up.
But that wont happen. I have Duzza level of confidence whilst he is in the guts for us.
Go bombers
As I’ve always said, FARK GORTH.

On reflection, that is one poor looking Godzilla in the image, what a sad, sorry state of affairs this is.
This club is farked, can’t even get the mighty Godzilla looking right, sack everyone involved.

If we lose, it’s because of fat Godzilla.

It’s their Xmas Day.
It’s their Grand Final.
It’s their Derby against their greatest, most hated rival.
It’s…just meh! For us. Just another game to bank the four points and extend our winning streak against them.
It’s our opportunity for a percentage booster.
Let’s grind out a scrappy 3-4 goal win Dons against the worst team in the comp.

Time to try a few different things - start 2MP in the ruck so he can get his hands on the ball early, Merrett and Gresham to the wings, Perkins & Hobbs lots of minutes on ball for their development. Heppell can be SUB to manage his workload.
Team;-
Kelly McKay Redman
Martin Lav McGrath
Merrett Caldwell Gresham
Shiel Stringer Guelfi
Jones Langford ADavey
2MP Durham Parish
Bench: Perkins Hobbs Hind Goldy
SUB: Heppell
Comon Dons we need the %…!!

We’ve had some enjoyable wins over Gorth in recent years.

Gameday trepidation.
It’s unusual that a game at this level can totally reflect the mindset of only one of the teams … but that’s the case today.
If we play anywhere near our best (75% plus), they can’t and won’t beat us … even if they play at their optimal level.
If we rock up with a ‘drink of our own bathwater’ mindset then this will be a game that will trouble us from start to finish. They (NM) haven’t played a full four quarters all year, or let’s face it even a half, but we are an opponent that can pretty easily slip into bad habits at times and allow an opposition to drag us down.
One positive is that we haven’t lost a game under Brad Scott that we have started favourites in (10-0). It shows, even despite a couple of tight results in that sequence, the team can get the job done even when not performing at its best.

My prediction: Gresham to kick 5, Langford and Wright 4 each and Essendur to win by 82 points.
Also, when we are flogging them in the last, I want Ben McKay thrown forward to kick his first club goal.

I have a feeling that this will no longer be an issue with this team.
But
Sometimes you can just have a bad day.
Thankfully, today will not be one of those days.

Langford needs 5 goals to catch up to Coleman medal leaders.

If we are even half switched on we will win by 40, if we are fully switched on it will be 100. They are the worst side since the early Suns and Giants days
