Game Day Game Day vs Swans (Stiffy's back edition)

[WinterRoos]

Stiffy's back, and the missus is thrilled.


Hardeman, Logue and Matlock IN

Pink, Phillips, FOS OUT

A chill autumn breeze carries on it the taste of winter, and the scent of change. Endless possibilities abound in this time of upheaval, and 23 men in the royal blue and white seek to capitalise today. Long have the bloods maintained a shaky dominance over the Kangaroos, but today that ends.

North by 23

The seemingly improved mighty Kangas take on an injury hit Swans on our home ground

A very good opportunity for us to win against a quality team we've come close to in recent years.

Good luck Matt Whitlock on his debut for the club!!

Get to the game if you can and let's put the heat on.

Let's start proving we're taking the next step.....

North by 10 points.

and most of all....

 

[Possession]

Expectations, nerves... three changes to our backline make me anxious but I cannot wait to see Whitlock and Hardeman.

 

[TheKanga]

I feel like they are gettable.
However we need to clean up our efficiency.

 

[Samsquanch]

Carn the Roos!!!!!

 

[Dan]

I am ready.

 

[Twinkletoes]

My brother’s in town from the US and coming along to this one. Pretty sure he has a 100% record of us winning when he’s back and in attendance.

North by 10 (% tariff imposed on us by the bro’s overlords).

If we don’t win I’ll fire him from the top of the Marvel roof into Port Phillip Bay.

 

[Devington]

Back at Marvel. Interstate team going so-so. Multiple players out of form, meaning we have sudden improvement possible.

Very doable.

You’ll be able to tell in the first 5 minutes. Clean skills, we win. Butcher it, like we always do, game over. I think we will do something new to **** this up

 

[goalieboy82]

North vs Sydney...the first and only (so far) North game i saw (with my father) in person (in LA in 2006) when North Played Sydney there...

 

[tales129]

First time in a while I’ve actively felt like we should be winning this.

Get it done campaigners

 

[Gasometer]

Let’s celebrate the end of the 3 weeks too long Day Light Savings with a 5 point win

How can you feel that way? What gives you that opinion? Because from ive seen, our disposal is that poor we simply wont win many games at all.

Stiffy's back, and the missus is thrilled.

How about a bit of effort if you're going to start the game day thread

 

[Reagan Smash]

Keep giving up 10+ goals from turnovers and we have no chance.

Clean it up and we’re in with a shot against last years grand finalists

 

[SpiderBurton22]

Going to be a tough game, coming up against huge names like Bice, Hanily, Wicks, Cleary ,Sheldrick and Ladhams.

North by 76, one point for each interchange

 

[Disco Dew]

our disposal is that poor we simply wont win many games at all.

See now I've also been feeling this way. However, I've watched a lot of footy to start the year (been very sick and had **** all else to do) and every teams disposal is shit!

It turns out it's not about us getting back up to the league level but them coming down to us! so i did some digging to see just where we rank for disposal efficiency (I KNOW DUCK, ITS NOT PERFECT STFU! )



We rank first for overall disposal and kicking efficiency and second for handballs. I was genuinely shocked to see this considering the apparent number of butchers we have in our team.

Anyway this research means nothing as I went back the previous couple of years and saw that our efficiency has been pretty good then.
FWIW we're mid table for turnovers.

Looking forward to tonights game.

Yes good point. It's not so much our disposal that is shit its that we're even shitter post turnover. Really have to fix that up!

This is what we get when we enforce 12.02am start times, my thespian, Frank
