Including me. I don't have the vocal power to out-shout the marching morons, but I'll do my best.
Live Long and Prosper!
Kruddler.....one can only assume that Jack Martin is an out then?

I think so.

We'll find out in about 20 mins i think
I find myself circumspect re tomorrow night's game. Unlike the past few seasons when I was more confident.

We are still a WIP, especially re the introduction of newbies and players in new positions whereas the Tiggers are a well oiled machine who are never beaten until the final siren. Our pre season form still showed a little of the inconsistency - our ability to beat ourselves and allow competitors to score too easily with successive goals. The Tiggers will be planning meticulously on how to combat our strong offensive style and I still worry about our on-field leadership and our ability to make quick decisions to counteract their counter measures (to our offensive style).

All I really want to see is some consistency, over 4 quarters. And should we find ourselves in front I'd love to see some ruthless endeavour to extend that lead.

I'm neither pessimistic or optimistic. We have the cattle to win, for sure. But...
Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17
Martin officially out.

We are with a 2nds side.

(one of the emergencies to be named as the 23rd just before game time)
With Casboult having to play back up ruck, I'm staggered that Oscar McDonald isn't playing. After being very optimistic going into the season, injuries have absolutely f#cked us again prior to a ball being bounced.

1. Martin - FML
2. WTF have Kennedy and Stocker done wrong?
3. Glad Cameo Cunner was omitted
4. Who is the 23rd man ? One of the Emergencies? I'm guessing they havent named it yet as they are giving H until the last minute (OMac will come in)
5. H won't play surely
6. Love child SPS gets a gig
7. LOB - FML
8. I'm not confident we can stay within 5 goals of them
2017-16th
2018-Wooden Spoon
2019-16th
2020-dare to dream? 11th is better than last I suppose
2021-Pi$$ or get off the pot
2022- Real Deal or more of the same? 0.6%
2023- "Raise the Standard" - M. Voss Another year wasted Bar Set
2024-Back to the drawing boardNo excuses, its time
Good to see that Jack, Fogarty and Paddy have all been rewarded for some reasonable form at various stages in the practice matches, and to tell you the truth I thought O'Brien showed a teeny, weeny little bit in his run as well.
Look, it's not ideal but we've picked the best available apart from Levi's inclusion which must be a desperation move.
If 'H' goes out (as a few suggest) we have OMac. Wouldn't that be a great comeback story. Comes in and dominates up forward! Just dreaming, but it's round 1 FFS.
I think it's interesting that the emergencies picked (apart from OMac) didn't get a look in during the praccy matches? I'm happy if any of them come in as could very well be the case, so well done to the selection team.
First game boys. Let's keep the faith if only for a game. Or a quarter.
Can't wait to get there and start losing my voice.
Go Baggers!
