Pre-Match. Magpies v. Bombers

[MagpiesTheGreat]

So far in the first five rounds -
we played and won: Cats, Port, Tigers, and Saints. Lost to Bears in Brisy.
Druggies played and won: Hawks, Suns, Giants, and Dees. Lost to Saints.

I reckon we will win by 6 goals on ANZ day.

It's break glass time.

Kreuger in to provide KP cover for attack, ruck and defence.

Out:McStay, Murphy, Wilson
In: De Goey, Ruscoe, Kreuger

Correct weight.

[think positive]

The prick who took out Murphy for next weeks game should get 4 weeks then, that’s just disgusting

De Goey and Ruscoe sounds good.

Not sure about Kreuger though. He's only played 1 VFL game.

[RudeBoy]

Normally I'd agree with you Jezza, but our KP cupboard is bare. Fly seemed to be be relishing the prospect of Kreuger's early return, and in truth, I can't think of any other option we have, especially now that we've lost another 2 KPPs in McStay and Murphy.

[Piethagoras' Theorem]

Like we did with the aints, we will expose the bummers as early season pretenders. Overhyped and overrated, their form will prove to be just a result of new coach syndrome (new 'has been' coaches in these cases). Round 6, I believe, is usually around the time we start finding out who are the real deal are and I'm fairly confident they are not. Out coached and out skilled, we got this one

Why is this thread up so early. We should still be celebrating the magnificent victory today, against all odds.

[Johnno75]

Zac Merritt offered 1 week for that sling tackle.

Celebrate all you want. How does having the Pre-Match topic up, stop or limit that ?

Confused as to what the conflict is? I’m certainly celebrating while also perusing these pages without any problems.

[Jezza]

After listening to Fly's presser, I think Kreuger coming in is now a real possibility after dismissing it earlier in the thread.

[Piesnchess]

Time for Bianco to get a run, really. Now or never.

[What'sinaname]

Adams will miss too because of a sling tackle.

Out: McStay (inj), Murph (concussion), Adams (susp), Wilson
In: DeGoey, Kreuger, Bianco, MacRae

Out:McStay, Murphy, Wilson
In: De Goey, Ruscoe, Kreuger

I think this is the most likely lineup. Still a pretty decent team, but the cupboard is almost bare in the twos.

Will be a tough match - always seem to be close against them. Different coach but they will be smarting still from last years thriller. Merritt banned for a week (pending appeal?) so that helps slightly. Thankfully they don’t have Daniher but someone will need to manage mud guts Stringer.

[Clifton Hill-Billy]

Adams will miss too because of a sling tackle.

Out: McStay (inj), Murph (concussion), Adams (susp)
In: DeGoey, Kreuger, Bianco

As should a bunch of 'aints players who deliberately slammed our players heads into the turf after pinning their arms. Jamie and Checkers i think copped cheap shots like this and don't get me started on Murphy hit
