Rich v Norf

[cub]

Not getting ahead (trying real hard) of myself here, but this is a huge game coming up for the Tiges.

Hate is a term I really hesitate to use, but I hate carltank and skunks and I know some here Hate Norf.

Been a while since we have played them in our backyard, like I said huge game - Discuss 

[Hellenic Tiger]

1. Lets not get too ahead of ourselves.

2.Anyway we will have 10 day break North 6 but it still may amount to anything even though North are playing on the harder underfoot surface of Telstra Dome.

3. North have been a bogey team to us over the years. From Round 2 1990 when Longmire kicked 12 and they flogged us by 141 to Finals 95 when the beat us to Round 22 96 when their last quarter burst prevented us from Finals Footy. Plus the McCartney and Martyn matches in 02 and 03.

4. They are a characterless footy club. Characterless fans characterless players like the whole lot of them were made with the same mould. We are a powerhouse of the league in terms of fans and finances and that should equate to us being a better footy team on field. We should be destroying  clubs like the Kangaroos on field as we did in 1974 when they thought they were good enough to take on the Big Boys and fell way way short. Last thing I would want to see is some characterless, Nobody, insecure with himself and his footy club player Like Corey Jones, Daniel Harris, Scott McMahon have a day out high fiving other nobodies and like minded characterless dorks in blue and white.

5. In order to not see these dorks have a day out we need to match them in intensity, tackle and contest hard, be fierce on the ball, use the ball effectivelly skillfully and distribute cleanly as well as make the correct decisions at the appropriate times as it will not be easy. However it can be done as the Roos are vulnerable and the team most likely from the top 4 from last year to fall out of the top 8.Remember they were 0-3 and below us on the ladder and 3 round into 2007. Reminds me of us in 01 when we would win it would be narrowly and when we would lose it would be heavily. Any small decrease in impetus and they could go tumbling down the ladder as those narrow wins they had last year will equate to narrow losses and in a year where they are trying to cement a future in Melbourne (again) this could be very grave on the 2009 membership and survival guide. Let's hope they fail abysmally and the AFL pull the pin on these morons. 

6. For me personally it will be great and I will be two thirds of the way there to seeing my dream start come to fruition against the teams I hate more than any others.

1. Carlscum
2. Can you lend me some spare change in the Roos
3. Skunks.

i am pretty sure the last time we played them at the g we beat them,

we can win this game if we play 4 quarters as we played the 2nd half yesterday.

we just have to keep playing to our strengths and keep focused

Foley on the RFC website says they aren't getting too excited

As his coach had done straight after the win, Foley was quick to shoot down any hype surrounding the victory, preferring to quickly soak up the moment before looking ahead to his team’s next challenge –North Melbourne after a lengthy 10-day break.

“It is nice to be able to have the win and move on to next week,” he said.

“It’s a good, solid feeling that hopefully can build up some confidence … we’ll remain calm and not get too excited.”

Remember it well. I was sitting in the Olympic Stand and it was so foggy and cold that day the Great Southern Stand was so obscure through the fog. Remember Danny Meyer's goal right foot snap from the boundary line in the left forward pocket at the Punt Rd End near the end of the game.

Yeah geez it was dark and apart from Nathan Thompson and maybe Wells we won every match-up.

The 2001 game was Richo kicking 1.6 with the "1" being the winning goal lol.

I'm just glad it's at the 'G and not a "home" game at the Dome. And being early in the season North don't have a retiring champion or milestone game to pump themselves up. If we beat North I have a good feeling we'll start the season with 3 wins  .

Who do you ppls think will come in for Sugar?

Any other changes?

[harry bosch]

Edwards and Polo for Kane and Howat

It will probably be Tiv and Hyde though

[{X}]

better not be tiv, anyone but tiv

[tigersalive]

Edwards for Kane I reckon.

David King made it sound like Polo isnt quite recovered from that shoulder injury yet.
