This Sunday at 2:00 PM. Definitely not on TV, more is the pity. Richmond and Essendon appear to be Channel 7's favourites, as they are both on again.
The suggestion is that Kreuzer will be back. Considering that Northern didn't have a recognized ruckman against at least 3 B*mber rucks and still almost won, then Kreuzer could make a big difference.
It will be very interesting to see how the teams line up.

Mick's gone and that must change the equation. I'm interested in what folks think will be a good result for 2015 from here on in.

I'm thinking game time for the younger brigade, reduce the floggings and back to basics footy (tackles, pressure).

I doubt we'll win too many games.

Saw this on TC - a few laughs.

'Bump'

Folks can we just ask a favour.
A lot of threads are drifting off into discussions of Malthouse and club problems.
Even the AFL season thread has turned into a Malthouse thread

We have established threads for those discussions.
It takes a lot of time to select posts to split and then merge them to ensure they're in the correct thread.

Could we just be a little more diligent in keeping on topic
Thanks

SCG (away game)

Yup, I don't want to think about it either but we must.....

Looks like Judd and Giibs may miss - against a battle hardened Sydney on their turf. It won't be pretty.

There were some signs of improvement last night, but the result was the same. It really does make going to the football a masochistic exercise, instead of the stress management and enjoyment it has been for so long. It is time to record our opinions as to our performance.

Remember:
[1] At least 3 players need to get a mention.
[2] No more than 10 votes for any one player.
[3] Give a rating of team performance. It can be anywhere from A+ to F. Please don't leave this blank. Our guys do not deserve the default setting (B).
[4] Votes must add up to 15.

I was at the game tonight and was really disapointed with the crowd.  I know that fans are voting with their feet cos they have had enough.  But is this the right tie to be doing this? .

NOW is the time that we need to support the players more than ever.  Just look at the honest interviews Simmo and Dockers did.  Dockers especially was crying for the supporters to STICK FAT.


For all out bagging of Bomber supporters, they really stuck together  during the Drugs saga.  They Stck Fat.

We are fair weather supporters at best and it shites me to death that our supporters are fickle as all f&8k.

So to the supporters out there, I plead with you to stick by the boys.  Go to the games, watch ad support.

I jnow it is hard but our team needs us more than ever

That Blitz-ar$e has come out of nowhere.

Away we go.

Forget the off field stuff for a couple of hours
Let's hope for something positive.
