Massive respect for Rosa, that's just a huge effort to be out there.

Good article with all selection news.

Rosa putting hand up for this week. Even if he comes in next week it would be awesome. Our 21st player seleted is clearly a step down from the 20th at the moment IMO. Bring Rosa in and the team is well structured, with Brennan a good option for sub.

I believe he was being sarcastic.

Every game a rumour happens that Naita is out. I've started a few myself.

 

[RooPower89]

Wells & Grima will be returning for North.
I expect to see Wells gliding down the Subi and making a big impact.

If we can somehow limit Cox, Petrie, Hansen & Tarrant take their opportunities.
North should win. If Goldy has another shocker Eagles will win comfortably.

Can't wait for the game, only 4 days!

They are huge ins for North.

What are the likely changes from the Hobart clash for North?

For the Eagles it is:

In: Kennedy, Waters, Embley, A. Selwood

Out: Stevens, Newman & (2 of: Hams, Lynch, Rosa)
One of Hams, Lynch or Rosa will come in for Strijk this week most likely.

So 4 decent ins. No huge losses considering Hams and Lynch are available. A much improved side by any measure, Stevens and Newman did next to nothing that game.

Kennedy is a huge in for you guys, i don't think he played against us in Round 6 either.

From the R15 clash

In: Thompson, Garlett (if Wright doesn't pull up)
Out: Delaney (assuming he will make way for Grima), Adams (out for the season)

Sam Wright missed last week, but should also return with Wells & Grima.

 

[Kcrack]

I enjoy watching Kennedy play, just for his set shots alone.

Interesting. So West Coast has a much improved side, whilst North's is pretty similar.

Our ins/outs compared to our round 6:

Out: Lycett, Sheppard & 2 of (Rosa, Hams, Lynch)

Ins: Naitanui, Kennedy, Embley, Scofield

Again some quality ins.

I'm still tipping a close game. North's run from half back to cause us problems.

 

[UpForGrabs]

Would be really good if Shuey didn't get up close and personal with Lindsay's John Thomas this time as well.

 

[Scotland]

B: Waters Glass Butler
HB: Schofield Mackenzie Hurn
C: Gaff Kerr Rosa
HF: Darling Lynch Masten
F: Hill Kennedy Cox
Foll: Natianui S Selwood Shuey

IC: Priddis A Selwood Embley (Brennan/McGinnity)

EMG: McGinnity/Brennan Hams Brown

IN: Mackenzie Rosa Lynch
OUT: Brown Strijk Brennan/McGinnity

 

[Coaster2012]

Rosa apparently running and taking over the head marks, so hes a big chance. You think he would risk a collar bone injury.

i was reading that aswell, i think he will play next week

 

[Coaster2012]

Whats he got to lose? collar bones heal quickly, no threat to a long term injury, if he comes up sore, then he has till next year to recover. Only threat is that he will re injure during the game and we will have to activate the sub.

Very true, but im just very confident that we will win this week. Would be awesome to see him out there feel for the poor bloke

Haha you make us sound very one dimensional. It's being played at our home ground, we have a stronger team than both times we beat you this year, and we've got more finals experience. Yet all it takes to stop us is to limit cox? By no means do I think we're going to walk all over you this weekend, but I think a lot more will have to go right for you than just cox having a quiet one.

I do

I was doing my best to be humble

Love your confidence, but really?

Better teams than North have lost to us at Subi this year, and they weren't finals.

Something would have to go catastrophically wrong for us not to win IMO.

I get the yips with all this over confidence.

So if North forwards kick goals, and Cox doesn't have a stella game, your going to win? I think you highly underestimate the Eagles my friend.

 

[Suma Magic]

He did say at the same time that if Goldy has a shocker we'll smash them. Going off that sentence in isolation he's not too confident.

Last time we played the roos they were 7 goals up in the second quarter. They have an ability to get a run on and kick bursts of goals. I think they are a real chance to win.

 

[Belltower]

They also have the ability to stop like they have been shot and the long ground and heat is not going to help.
