[AlwaysGreen]

4th v 5th with a top 4 possie on the line.

Storm by 50

 

[skeepe]

We’re the only away team with a greater than 50% winning record at AAMI Park with an 8-5 record, including the last 5 in a row.

Melbourne haven’t beaten us there since 2018.

We got this

4th v 5th with a top 4 possie on the line.

Storm by 50

I got tickets to this game, I hadn’t looked at the ladder for a while and was genuinely surprised when I saw you guys were 5th. When, why and what did that happen?

 

[footy75]

Melbourne easily.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

I got tickets to this game, I hadn’t looked at the ladder for a while and was genuinely surprised when I saw you guys were 5th. When, why and what did that happen?

All part of King Ricky's masterplan to fly under the radar in the loudest, most colourful space ship possible.

 

[Valheru]

Canberra have to be in the GF for the worst team to be equal 4th this late in the season.

Melbourne by whatever they feel like.

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

Would love to see the Thanos scum miss the top 4 on multiple levels. For great justice first of all and would much rather catch Canberra in Brissy in the prelims than them.

Could be a great game if both teams turn up. Papenhuyzen returns and the task becomes pretty dire for the Green goblins.

 

[Chief_Chujo]

Will win this one. We own the scum in mexibourne.

 

[mozza91]

2 referee favourites going at it here. Storm are pretty up and down but should be too good.

 

[nick87]

Yeah yeah yeah
We suck, and the Storm are actually a good side

but what if... Raiders?

 

[Danny-Boy]

How the f**k are Canberra in 5th position?

 

[Hutty1986]

Canberra's record down there is insane, and the Raiders are overachieving by about 6 ladder spots. But you never know...

 

[This Year?]

Sticky > 'ol mate Bellyache.
Too easy.

I'm jealous of Raiders record in Melbun.

 

[Greenfields]

This could get ugly but looking forward to seeing the next BYC make his debut

 

[Fangs]

Let's see what Ricky has cooked up for us today.

 

[gerg]

How the f**k are Canberra in 5th position?

It ain't been easy with the toughest draw in the comp.

 

[Someguy]

Raiders to get the jump and then win comfortably in a near scoreless second half

 

[Someguy]

Harry grant off the bench. Garlick is a poor man’s Mitch Kenny so I’m not sure how this plan works out

 

[skeepe]

Corey Parker needs to show some f**king respect
