Preview Changes R16 vs North Melbourne

[Mojorisin]

Weddle. I couldn’t believe we picked Busslinger over him at the time, so it’s not even a hindsight call.

Darcy Jones was my pick.

looks like Norf have anticipated us going tall and have named a super tall backline. Have named Dawson, Pink, Comben who are all tall KPDs and also Corr who is 194cm but can play on mediums too. Doesn't look like they will have a ton of speed + run and carry out of their backline to worry about so much.

Comben has looked pretty good from what I have seen.

Dawson has played forward recently.

Dawson has played forward recently.

So has Pink. Played forward in the last game.

 

[TiAn_]

Darcy Jones was my pick.

I was all in on Weddle. But we could have easily gone with Jones at 13 and Hayes/van Es at 22 if we wanted a small forward and defender.

 

[Mojorisin]

So has Pink. Played forward in the last game.

He moved forward when Dawson went out injured I believe.

 

[MaxiBont]

Nah he was playing forward before Dawson got injured. Has played forward since RD10.

(I’ve watched way too many North games because of fantasy and SuperCoach)

So teakle replaced Dawson then?

 

[Snarls Barkley]

Pink has been forward for the past month.

There is two Dawson's. Have only seen Kallan Dawson play back. Wil Dawson has played back and then got injured playing forward against West Coast and think Teakle replaced him

 

[MaxiBont]

Teakle has come in with some rejigging of their back line to cover Will Dawson. Believe Archer has played more of a KPD role than before.

Yes, that is who I was thinking of, thanks.

Yeah got confused between the two Dawson's. Watched the roos game last week. Archer was awesome I assume he plays on weightman.

Archer played on Fritsch all game and before that on Bobby Hill.

Everyone on here will lose their minds (me included) when we line up at the opening bounce with Lobb at full back Naughton chb, English and Jones forward, JOD and JUH on wings and Darcy contesting the CB.

Meanwhile, in the coach's box, Bevo be like...



"Your move, I believe, Mr Clarkson..."

 

[Mojorisin]

Archer played on Fritsch all game and before that on Bobby Hill.

Wore Fritsch like a glove.

 

[Munnez]

This is a bit doom and gloom but who could we have picked up instead of Buss in his draft year... any good/great defenders that went begging in hindsight?

Josh Weddle I had him going to us in the mock draft

 

[ScottyDogg]

One must embrace what ones eyes are having a hard time believing.

I guess like an Echidna having 4 penises, Bevo is a big fan of biological redundancy and what seems like a little overkill.

Mind blown

 

[ScottyDogg]

Is this the slowest side we have put out this year?

Bramble, Dale, Richards, VDM, Treloar, Weightman, West, Doc, Libba, Sanders and Gallagher are the medium/smalls. Not exactly a lighting quick group. Maybe that’s why Baker got the call up?

Will be interesting to see how Timmy goes vs Xerri

Xerri can be aggressive

Probably the reason Lobb is playing.

 

[MYOB]

Champion Data have Naughton in there All Australian team. He is not playing in the backline

 

[adogsfan5]

Naughton to finally be moved back to defense !!

Would be the ultimate trolling moment.

I'm not an advocate of switching him back to defence at this stage of his career but the irony is that if he had always played there and never been tried as a forward there's still a very good chance he'd be in CD's AA team right now ... as a defender.

He's just a damned good footballer. They have a way of finding the ball, bringing teammates into the game and influencing matches. Wherever they play.

It's going to be fascinating to see how they structure up, unless one of them (Lobb?) is named as sub.

This is so unBulldogs to have an embarrassment of KPFs.

 

[AJARWA]

Weddle. I couldn’t believe we picked Busslinger over him at the time, so it’s not even a hindsight call.

The 2022 draft is looking like a bust for us ATM. Gallagher looks like pick of the bunch.

 

[AJARWA]

North looked good last week. But not quick off half back. Don't think we've got much to worry about going tall. But I'd be surprised if we persist with it for the run home.
