Preview Changes & prematch discussion vs West Coast

[The Nostradamus]

Payne for RHJ
Maley for Pink
Fisher for Stephens
Move Mckercher to the wing allows Fisker to play half back
Play Sheils in the last round against Hawthorn.

That’ll do

Think laz will come into consideration

I also like the shiels farewell games against hawks in a few weeks

 

[ferball]

would be a long time we've been this short for a game.

I don't like this image. The text is disturbing.

 

[Caracas]

Agree with Chom, but I’d rather get games into Wardlaw if possible.

I fully expect that we will look after Comben appropriately. Having said that, I hope he plays this weekend.

 

[FootySmartSimpson]

Archer Corr McDonald
McKercher Dawson Powell

Scott Davies-Uniacke Simpkin
Xerri Sheezel Phillips

Duursma Teakle Curtis
Lazarro Larkey Zurhaar

Tucker Dawson Ford Hardeman

 

[Skarrz]

Would think a few people get a clean run to prove something in the last few weeks. Likely cya later game for Shiel and Greenwood last game

 

[Duck the GOAT]

Feels like a sliding doors type of game this one. Don't like to speak in binaries, but anything except a W and the season will be a big fat fail.

we're currently on the same number of wins as last year. Would be good to get at least one more

Some said that about last week too.

Personally the win over Gold Coast was enough for me to feel comfortable about the season. Capped off a 5 week stretch where we played the best football in years. Even the terrible loss to Sydney, right after that. didn't change my feeling. The Richmond win while our injury list was bulging was a nice confidence booster for me, but I'm not likely to get demoralised by a loss this week unless it's a bad one (more than, let's say, 3-4 goals). We are close enough to West Coast's level (in large part due to injuries) that luck and a 10 minute run of good football from them could easily result in a loss.

l wouldn't mind Phillips tagging Reid but l dont think he could keep up....

In a perfect world I'd love to see Wardlaw play on Reid in the middle, and Archer if he moved to half forward. Neither would put up with his fend off compulsion.

Minimal changes to a winning team,

Out : Stephens (inj) , Comben if not totally 100%

In : Fisher, Shotgun Dawson

 

[andana]

Gaff back

 

[ferrisb]

Gaff back

That's good for North...

 

[tazaa]

If Stephens and Hansen Jr are out, then knowing Clarko he will bring back Fisher if fit and Shiels.
If Fisher isn’t fit then bring back Bergman or Dawson a game.

No to Lazzaro. VFL is his level. Got a lot of it but he’s just no good.

Pink keeps his spot as sub.

IN: Fisher Shiels
OUT: Stephens Hansen Jr

B: McDonald Corr Archer
HB: Fisher Comben Powell
C: McKercher Davies-Uniacke Scott
HF: Ford Teakle Simpkin
F: Curtis Larkey Zurhaar
R: Xerri Sheezel Phillips
I: Tucker Duursma Shiels Stephenson
S: Pink
E: Bergman Dawson Lazzaro

They have a very tall forward line.

If Comben is out then both Dawson’s will need to come in to cover Darling, Allen, Waterman and possibly a resting ruck.

Come on mate
Been some huge improvements this year .

One game isn't going to change that

 

[The Nostradamus]

Happy Finnbar debut announcement day?

 

[giantroo]

 

[Poopybum22]

Out: Chom (managed), Stephens (injured), Pink (omit), RHJ (omit),

In: K Dawson, Fisher, Finbar, Harvey (sub)

Tasmania not the best place to debut but given we play the dogs next week and revisit Tassy the week after, this is Finbar’s best chance. Given we haven’t seen a debut video yet I doubt he’s in the squad.

Want Harvey to get a string of games but there’s nobody in the 22 I’d push out.

Stephenson/Mckercher to rotate Stephens wing.

[kool kangas]

Its annoying that while its a media interview about how North Melbourne are going and their players media still want to talk about Clarkos court case. If they want to know things about it how about they ask Clarko at another time..

[nicko74]

Barass not playing for them
