Preview Changes and prematch discussion vs Swans

Phillips was poor today

He led the game for tackles, we could do with his hustle

He won't get near the Sydney midfield to lay a tackle! Mile's off, playing one's won't help him or the team.

Meanwhile, you just know Logan McDonald will kick about 8 against us. It's just the way the universe works I'm afraid.

Christ, there are not enough changes in the world to fix this mess. I’ll go and hope it’s not as embarrassing as yesterday was.

 

[Roos92]

Who cares. Another belting. Could be a record low crowd too. Saving grace for the club maybe that Sydney have a decent following in Melbourne.

Not at all. I fully expect you guys will win next week. Admittedly I did not watch your game this week but of the games I have seen you guys play this year you seem to be in better form.

Our skills are horrendous and our fitness levels mean we can’t chase, tackle or pressure when we don’t have it. It’s pretty much a death spiral, you’ll win easily.

 

[Hearts to hearts]

This has to be a troll, right? Or at the very least the product of consuming some of Colombia's finest.
Not only are we playing absolute bin juice footy at the moment, we have lost the last 8 games in Melbourne against you (last win against the Swans in Melbourne was 2007)
So long as you have 18 bodies with a pulse on the field next Saturday, you'll win easy - hell, you could probably play a couple short and still get the job done.

What if they play one extra?

He hurt his ankle and his day finished in the 3rd quarter for the Swans yesterday.

CamZ out too if rumours correct re jaw.

We’ll get done by 40 plus. Forgot Corr may get suspended too lol

This game is built for Sydney’s midfielders to get a taste of the contested ball again and get back on the winners list

Makes me sick

If Corr gets a week and North contest it then everyone will know that Corr is rated highly within the club and wont be dropped anytime soon.

 

[Ischenko]

We will win

You said that yesterday.

 

[Sticksphat]

Out In
Mahony (inj) Harvey (can play same role)
LDU (inj) Philips/Cunners? Probably prefer Philips for defensive efforts and being the future
Tucker (inj) Wardlaw
Perez (inj) Goater (if fit)
Corr (susp) CCJ (send Griff back)
Spicer (sub) Ford (Sub between him/Harvey or Wardlaw)

I know its not always like for like replacements, just trying to find the team balance given the number of likely outs.

 

[Ligma]

You said that yesterday.

And I’ll say it again

 

[Ischenko]

And I’ll say it again

Yeah look we’re a shot. Why not? Have to win one sometime.

North Melbourne could be forced into making as many as six changes for next week’s clash with Sydney, courtesy of injuries and a potential suspension.

The Roos’ horror season continued on Saturday with a 70-point loss to Port Adelaide, but more fallout has come in the form of injury.

Star midfielder Luke Davies-Uniacke suffered a hamstring injury during the match, adding to a run of soft tissue complaints for the 23-year-old.


Adding to the side’s woes, Darcy Tucker also suffered a hamstring injury, while Flynn Perez and Jack Mahony were ruled out of the match with concussion and a shoulder injury respectively.

Foxfooty.com.au has also confirmed Cameron Zurhaar suffered facial swelling and was sent for scans after the match.


North Melbourne’s availability could also be hampered by the loss of Aidan Corr, who will likely be suspended for at least one match due to an off-ball strike on Ollie Lord.

Corr’s strike is likely to be graded as at least low impact and high contact, with a grading of medium impact also possible.

It will likely be graded as intentional conduct (as most non-football acts are), with low impact resulting in a one-match ban and medium impact a two-match ban.
