This game was originally set for Preston, but it is now going to be played at Ikon. The U18 game will follow it, with the VFL game starting at 1030. The idea is that supporters will be able to get to Marvel in time. :)
With 4 big injuries, the team should not be as strong as last week, but who knows? We were really bad last week!

Team is probably now finalized, but I can't find it yet. Very irritating.
Polson out due to illness, Schmatcher is emergency for the main team. Fairly weakened lineup.
NBs 2 pts up well into the 3rd qtr.
Gls: Wilson, Lang, Wheeler, Fasolo, Kerr & Palmer.
Looks like we're 2pts down at 3/4 Time
Who's going to step up?
3/4 time.
NBs 6.12
Kangabies 7.8
Kangabies by 2pts.

20 minutes gone, 30pts up, we are home.
Lobbe early goal followed by unanswered goals from the youngsters.
Well done NB's
6 unanswered goals in the final qtr. Bl00dy fantastic effort NBs. Undermanned? Pfft... who gives a right royal.

First three are certs....Goddard for Jones....
Looks like Lang might have extracted one digit today too...

McGovern back too and from what Bolton says it looks like Kreuzer will be rushed back in so we will look stronger on paper...

What makes you say that fb?
Didn't get a mention in our top 6.
Kreuzer, McGovern, Setterfield perhaps Kennedy or one of Lang or Fasolo.
Also will Jones be able to play if Goddard may have to be look at too.
If Kreuzer plays then he either didn't really have a abductor problem, or we're rushing him back still injured. Same with McGovern and his hamstring

my bad LN, i saw his name as I flicked through. You're dead right....maybe I was subconsciously looking for a positive flicker out of today's ruins.... :-X :o

If Plowman is injured (or just dropped) we may want Gov in ASAP to play down back

I've been looking for a positive flicker from Lang since he arrived.
Thought that I'd missed something....but alas it seems I haven't.
As you were.
Waiting for Lang to extract the proverbial :o
Fisher 27 touches and a goal and can't get in the best?

He had to be one of the best three in the ground on the stats alone; his best game for the year statistically. He has to be on our horizon for a mid-season draft selection.
Bit sad to hear Tom Wilson has an ACL.

Might well explain why he didn't get a mention in the bests - trying to keep him under the radar.
Bit sad to hear Tom Wilson has an ACL.
Very sad to hear especially as the AFL site had put his name forward as a chance in the mid-season draft (though for mine Tommy is not AFL quality despite having a heart as big as himself). Wonderful clubman and deserved a slice of good luck not bad.
