Preview Changes and prematch discussion vs Carlton

[Themanbun]

I have seen Corr beat the likes of Tom Lynch and for the life of me I don't know what we are thinking using him as some mid sized defender. He is the guy to play on Curnow, as he was the guy to play on Cameron last week. Walker plays on McKay out of necessity and either Bonar or perhaps Jack play on Silvagni.

We need to start developing something resembling a forward structure so Comben comes in to pair with Larkey and we can work the rest out after that.

Agreed. We simply don't have the depth or luxury of playing a bloke who's 6 foot 5 only ever as a third tall.

So no Powell, Jed. Both going through the VFL again.

Goldy playing which probably means X is out and CCJ is in.

[hellas_johnny]

so going off that Mckay out Bonar in possibly the only change. if this happens then its an absolute joke. on a positive that vfl midfield pf powell philipss anderson lazzaro and ccj should be quite exciting

A few injured players at Carlton…

If Harry doesn’t get up that’d be a nice.

Honestly, these two comments alone are just about enough to make me lose faith. This is grim

Sleevo will come in for Atu/Mahony

Ford should fingers crossed come in for the other

 

[LB2Snake]

Sorry if it's been asked already, but does anyone know what end of the ground North's cheer squad is this week?

Heard they are gunna swap ends that McGuinness plays.

Its very demoralizing for supporters to read that. White Flag type stuff.

 

[Flawed Genius]

lol

Out: McKay
In: Bonar

 

[kool kangas]

No mention of Comden??

 

[desie]

You missed Mick Martyn.

Michael Gallagher?

 

[roos_fanatic08]

lol

Out: McKay
In: Bonar

Additionally

Out: X
In: CCJ

Gutless at the selection table. Absolutely gutless.

Will make me sick if 3 or 4 of Turner, Scott, Young & Atu play.

How come Sleevo didn’t need to find some consistency in the VFL? Dropped for 1 week only!

Seems reasonable at this point. I'll be pretty comfortable if X for CCJ is the change - we don't have a heap of competition for some spots but we do in the ruck so they need to make them earn it.

 

[tazaa]

Dan McPherson just confirmed Jed will play at vfl level and Stephenson will come into the team against Carlton

So you're accusing them of being gutless at the selection table before you know what the selections actually are?

Seems legit....

 

[wazza03]

Will again be the usual 1-2 changes that make no sense.
We’re not making finals, so play the kids ffs!
How Young, Atu, Turner and Walker continually get a game is unbelievable.
Keep selecting a pack of complacent footballers Noble, you’re doing a great job of it.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Oh boy.

It’s gone from bad to worse.

He’s gotta go.

 

[Passmore]

No mention of Comden??

Who?

Agree whole heartedly. The rage i feel listening to this t**t at the moment isnt healthy. How about you hold the f**king leaders at our club accountable week to week David when they do f**k all but fall over each other looking like a skit for the 3 stooges all over the field. Any pr*ck that loses his feet in a contest that is unwarranted make them do 100 pushups for each one for a start. I have seen toddlers learning to walk with better skill at standing up straight without falling over.

Really hated the tweets about the presser so actually listened to it.

"Chipping away" at being better defensively. Personally not seeing it.

The discussion on the rucks was frustrating. The praise seems to be in regards to the actual ruck contests and the clearances that result from them, then some awkward praise(?) for Goldy. Didn't mention Xerri's work outside of the ruck at all.

Frustrating hearing about Powell too. Wants a couple of weeks of good form in the VFL, which is fair enough in isolation but I'd say the greater context makes a bit of a mockery of that statement.

Overall nowhere near as bad as the tweets had me feeling, but still left me frustrated.

Young - 23 years old 27 games
Atu - 21 years old 13 games

How Young, Atu, Turner and Walker continually get a game is unbelievable.

They are doing what you suggest but in the same post you lambast them for doing as you’ve suggested.

Pick a lane.

Who are we going to bring in for Josh Walker? What non existent key back with a mature body do we bring in to drop him?

Let’s run Jackson Archer at full back this week and see if some Carlton flog can brake Fannings record…..

I did actually see one or two posts advocating Archer comes in
