Preview Changes: R15 vs North Melbourne, Sunday June 26, 12.40pm ACST in Tasmania

[skittlebrew]

I cant recall the last if any game we have won in Tasmania. I think this will go the same way. The team has lost its way.

The AFL requires us to lose in Tassie.

North isn't going to get supporters down their if they spend all their time getting their heads kicked in.

Generally he is effective but against gc his disposal was trash

Went with about 71% efficiency and 6 score involvements.

Thilthorpe only minor ankle roll - test this week for availability

IF he does not pull up, then I want McAsey to have a run in the side - NOT Himmelberg or Frampton

No point playing Thilthorpe unless he is 100%. He needs to really try and stack on some muscle over preseason.

Its still quite shocking to me though. I mean, how has that not been a Key Performance Indicator for those 3 players, and if it is, how are they seen as even remotely achieving it?

And if that's not a KPI, and goal kicking certainly doesn't seem to be one either, then what the hell is there output measured on?

Thanks for reminding me I should be developing a list of reportable KPI's as a result of a recent audit instead of perusing BF.

My mates and I decided to spend a week in Tassie in 2017. The highlight would be the 6-0 Top of the table Crows v the 0-6 Bottom of the table Kangaroos. We were only 10 goals down at the end of the first quarter. Good times .

MONA was much higher on our list than Blundstone Arena of highlights and we have never been accused of being “Culture Vultures”

Any win will be a good win.

Why Does OBrien automatically start every week?

 

[beartoo]

Play Strachan and O'Brien. Strachan can take a pack mark unlike our other tall forwards. As we will continue to bomb it in long, having one or the other up forward would at least give us a show of taking a mark in the forward line.

Just heard Nicksy on Jars, Bernie and Blewy' show. Seemed to namecheck Schoenberg (a lot), Jones and Pedlar in his interview as players who are performing in the 2's.

Fingers crossed that's an indication they are in line for recall.

Nah, it’s his way of proving how awesome our big 3 mids are when kids are performing in the 2s but still can’t crack a spot. That’s how stacked our midfield is.

Looking forward to the mother of all shitfests this week lads. I'll admit it's the first North game since R2 that I've been unsure on who to tip, but we are seriously rubbish. May the least worst team win

Pickett is a genuine goal kicker, the pressure aspect is a bonus. If he didn't kick goals he would have been drafted in the 40+ range.

Is he though?

 

[MarcusP2]

Averages 1.5 a game, decent enough.

Kicked 40 goals last year alone, more than double that of Ned McHenry's entire career

Kicked 16 goals this year so far (Rowe, McHenry and Murphy have combined for 17 goals)

He did one year (a flag year).

How many are Stengle and Greene averaging? How many did Betts average when in a flying team?

Pickett’s not a prolific goal kicker, he’s only kicked more than 3 goals in a game once in his career

He’s a very, very handy player because of his forward pressure - much like Cyril. Much like all those Richmond mosquito forwards. But he’s not a big goal kicker

 

[Sanders]

Kicked 16 goals this year so far (Rowe, McHenry and Murphy have combined for 17 goals)

He kicked 40 for the dominant, top of the table premiership team in 25 games.

He kicked 7 goals in 14 games in 2020 - he wasn’t retained for his goal kicking

He’s kicked 16.7 in 12 games this year

I’m a fan, but prolific he ain’t

He's a third year player who is equivalent to three of our small "forwards". I said he was a genuine goal kicker which he is, unlike our players that can't even average a goal every two games

He’s not much of a goal kicker, but comparing our useless potatoes to him is like comparing Matthew Nicks to Alastair Clarkson as a coach

 

[CrowBloke]

Zero interest in this season now. Wake me up when we've come to our senses.

Better change your handle to Rip van Winkle.

Might be 20 years.

Picking a side based on best users of the ball rather than what will actuslly happen

B Parnell Butts Jones
HB Smith Frampton Hinge
C Sholl Hately Dawson
HF Cook Tex Milera
FF Rowe Fog Rachele
RUCK Strachan Berry Soligo

Yeah i know Frampton but its a best users of the ball side imo. I would be far happier seeing that side trott out knowing whilst wemight not win as much ball, when we do win it its likely we ain't just kicking it to the opposition

You lost me at Sholl. Well it was Frampton tbh but had to stop at Sholl.

 

[Scorpus]

That would be right, bring back Crouch, destroy Hately's form then drop him

Think disposal skills - not all round game. The qualifier here is that I have not seen Taylor, Nankervis or some others in the SANFL side who might be better than some in my list, but they are at this stage unproven at AFL level

I think Sholl is on the way out. I wouldn't give him a game in case he gets injured. I think we did the same with Atkins. Better to get games into Cook, the fact he isn't playing doesn't make sense. He is clearly going to be a very good player.
