Pre Game Thread, Trial 1: Bulldogs vs Storm @ Belmore, 7pm Thu 15-Feb

[Mr Beast]

Why is everyone so pumped for a trial. Who cares

because we miss football?

Why is everyone so pumped for a trial. Who cares

Its league and our team

Why is everyone so pumped for a trial. Who cares

Because in 50 short minutes we all get to forget about interest rates, cyclones, the cost of milk, tax cuts, and whatever else bad is going on and watch the team.

 

[Hotdog]

Trials are extremely important for us we still working out our key combinations. All our trials will be auditions for 75% of the squad, so many spots up for grabs

You are expecting a 30-0 score while at the same time acknowledging 75% of the team is up for grabs?

 

[albatross]

Seems like we've been waiting for ages for this. The start of the season never gets old, even though I do. Only a trial but looking forward to seeing Hutchinson, Taafe, Hughes and Skelton the most.

Bronson is going to be super interesting… such a rollercoaster of where he is coming back from, impossible to know how it will go.

Anyone know if you can watch it free somewhere?

 

[Magic Burton]

Ive analyzed both line ups too @Polly Power we should be putting them to the sword tonight and I hope we do

@04 Dreaming The betting markets have us as very short priced favourite when was the last time our opposition were 2.50 it’s clear Gould has selected more available players than Bellamy. We have a chance to win this whole pre season challenge. A big shot in the arm for the players and fans.

 

[Freakzilla]

Late changes to both teams.

Why is Gus being held responsible for the team selection?
