Preview Changes: R4 2021 vs North Melbourne

[Johnny Rutten]

yep.. another lost opportunity..

Worrell was good today. Not far away. Possibly sub this week?

 

[Bearded Clam]

think we’ll go in unchanged but, heck me, Worell deserves a run at it..

 

[GROTTO]

McHenry .

Frampton says hello.

 

[pjcrows]

There will be no changes. And, nor should there be.

I want to see Worrell in too, and we will. Make him back up his dominant performance today with another one. He will be good.

 

[hippyhippy]

Just cause we won doesn't mean you don't make a change ... always look to improve.

There were a few crappy performances...

 

[TryAnHit]

Dumping Seedsman is crazy... he works very well with Smith together, and very hard to lock down both of them... if just smith he cops too much heat

So who in the backline does he replace like for like after tonight? Jordan Butts? Jake Kelly who played possibly his career best game tonight and who was also very good in the 1st round until Dangerflog knocked him out? Tom Doedee maybe who was pretty average tonight?

Why are you focused on the backline? One of Lynch or Frampton are easily droppable if not both.

Every trial game and today he's played deep defence, he won't be playing forward if the selectors are fair dinkum.

Edit : And doing the bulk of the kick ins also.

 

[ABAB]

Naa. It’s not being played in Tasmania in the middle of winter.

This North team are the worst AFL team since the Brisbane Bears. Will get the priority pick. Should move them to Tasmania and just get it over with.

We held that title as the worst AFL team since the Brisbane Bears just last year so could still resort back to that form.

 

[Stone Sour]

Worrell is pretty versatile, we shouldn't pigeonhole him as just a defender.

 

[King Elvis]

After a win like that, it seems silly to suggest that someone should be dropped.

MAYBE Murphy to sub, Murray to SANFL and Worrall into the 22. Berry is doing a lot of Murphy's pressure work already, so that could work.

But they're not going to want to deflate this momentum through unneeded changes.

Really don’t like this attitude.

The team having a win doesn’t mean everyone played well - competition for spots and accountability for performance shouldn’t change.

 

[Mutineer]

Worrell is pretty versatile, we shouldn't pigeonhole him as a defender.

Nobody's pigeon holing Worrell purely as defender but it would be strange coaching at this point to play him deep in defence in all trial games and in today's SANFL game and then bring him in to play forward.

 

[Punchy Bassett]

Absolutely cannot take this game easy

 

[Stone Sour]

I wasn't trying to imply we should bring him in as a forward without trialing it in the SANFL, more the hope we use him in different roles in the SANFL, so we can bring him in without waiting for a defense spot to open up.

 

[Deaneus!]

Where do we fit Worrell?
Crouch?
Hately?
Jones?
Fogarty?

Interesting times at selection

 

[TheKev]

Yellow kit?

 

[1970crow]

I really want to see Fog play in this team. Has had 2 good showings as a big bodied mid/forward in a row at SANFL level and you just feel that he's the kind of player who will feed off the energy of this young, hungry side.

Give him a run in Lynch's role, he looks cooked.

Lynch looked like he was carrying some condition. But his spot is assured, he's going nowhere. Will be unchanged, apart from injury sub. We won't mess with the continuity of the 22 that earned a 2 goal win at home against last year's 14th placed side. We should be looking at Lynch and Frampton, both should be on last chance against Roos or not selected at all. Seedsman saved himself by using the ball a lot better in the second half, but he's close too.

Beating last year's 14th placed side at home in a tight game is totally the finish line. Just keep working continuity into this group and we're there. Only idiots would seek further improvement after that performance.

 

[1970crow]

How will they squeeze Dmac back in?

Seed had both hands up early, but saved himself.

The "no changes" after that win are a special kind of apologist. You always look to improve. That said, the 2 that you would drop off their last 2 games are Lynch and Frampton. But I'd give Frampton one more before calling it and Lynch will never play SANFL.

 

[Sanders]

No change

 

[Carmo]

Worrell might not come in this week but then we have dockers, hawks and giants who all have a decent amount of height up forward and or wings. Thats what worrell should be aiming for.

 

[Carmo]

As much as ppl are enjoying berry and mchenrys work i reckon those two are the closest to going out the side so if talia comes in we will likely reshuffle the back line and one of smith hamill or sholl will take berrys or mchenrys roles. If matt crouch

Even if Talia and Crouch are fine, you bring them back through the SANFL to show the group that you have to earn your way back in.
