Friday Knight's 13th Massacre

[MACDAICOS]

Surely by now we have enough confidence in our boy's not to go down the "danger game" road.

If we start well we will smack them by 70+

If it's tight in the first half I still expect to win by 40+

Let's just get those 4 points and the rest will look after itself.

Go Pies

[suedehead]

No injuries, no suspensions.
No injuries, no suspensions.
No injuries, no suspensions.

Chant the mantra.

[Dave The Man]

I tipped us to win by 55pts

[Doc63]

No injuries, no suspensions.
No injuries, no suspensions.
No injuries, no suspensions.

Chant the mantra.

Yep, that's all we want from the last three games - and wins of course. If we can achieve that, we will go into September in the best shape of any team in the top 4.

What's the latest on Ben Reid. I notice on the AFL site he's listed as "test".

[melliot]

The Cats game had plenty of energy expended by the boys. Our danger is if we are flat from it. Which could mean it may be a slog for a while or the whole game.

hope it's been a lightish week on the track.

If we play at 90%, we'll smack em buy 50 points+

Buy it's important to secure 4 points and hope for minmal injuries.

Guessing Fraser and Medders will be back to freshen up the team.

Thomas, Jolly, Swan, Didak, Ball have played plenty of footy. We'll need to rotate them out once each over the next few weeks for a freshen up prior to finals.

Nothing less than a 15 goal win required. Smash them and show the comp we are the BOSS now.

[Raw Hammer]

If we kick straight this is going to get ugly (well, beautiful in my eyes). No mercy, this team has given us plenty of strife over the journey. Cloke to bag a 5-for.

[BBHS]

Trav to kick 6.10 Medhurst to return and Presti to slot one in the last.

[Pommie_Magpie]

Walk in the park....

Pies by 96 !!

[nulla]

Not sure what the outlook is, but if wet then it could make for an interestting game


Otherwise 66plus points

[ANNODAM]

Two things ---

1. MUST WIN &
2. I will echo what Suedehead posted, no injuries & no reports.

In years gone by I would've thought this myself - But team 2010 is playing with serious maturity and discipline every week.
