Murphy hasn't actually been swapped for Setterfield has he? Just a proposal from the forum as far as I can tell...

Just a small thing. Walsh is still only 18.

This side is too young to win

I'm hopeful but realistic. It's a very young side.

North made just as many changes.
Should win this but the heat has been on North all week and Blues have been praised all week.

This could be a total disaster

Forced changes from your bottom 6 players. Numerically you're correct but it's not quite the same. Is it?

It's hard to get a read on it. North were very good in the last qtr against port I thought

I like that we have changed like for like and not changed the setup .It is starting to show we are gaining some depth.

I would still like to have seen Kennedy and Setterfield in But once again this is shows depth.

This is a massive game for both clubs the loser will be under the pump. Probably North more so than us because the public has grown to accept us losing

Kicked 5 unanswered goals when the game was over and Port had literally switched off for the night. Nothing to write home about.

I don’t have high expectations for this one. Don’t think we can start favourites in any game without Simpson, McGovern and Kreuzer.

Yup they are essential, fundamental elements Matty Kreuzer, Kade Simpson, team walks taller with them included, Newman & McGovern have contributed too.
However there’s plenty of talent , vigor in our young side.
We certainly need some luck on our side , who knows what may happen.
Reckon we’ll just get over the line by under 20 points.

Anywhere near his best, Charlie is a big upgrade on McGovern.

North fans are filthy at a couple of their changes. Hall and LDU far from their worst apparently.

Yeah nah. Just a hopeful suggestion from someone. Murph could really use a good dose of Diesel coaching.
