Port Adelaide great Kane Cornes says North Melbourne should drop Drew Petrie for elimination final

Unfortunately, much as I hate to say it as I'm a great fan of Drew, if Waite is available, Daw deserves to be in ahead of Drew.

 

[tazaa]

Talia is down on confidence. Waite needs to play.

Poor old Bevvo, sooking it up in todays Hun about how he would prefer Saturday night for extra recovery time (11 days not enough),
and guess who scored said Saturday night, despite winning less games and finishing 8th on the ladder, yep, those bloody Kanga's

to the extent the finals draw considers what the respective teams have 'earned', perhaps it might be about rewarding 5th ahead of 6th? Rather than focusing primarily on what 7th deserves ahead of 8th?

Talk about drinking their own bathwater!!!!!

Hit the nail on the head!

Drew needs to retire immediately. If Waite is fit you simply can't drop Daw ahead of him.

 

[ChopChopDigDig]

I'm confident Drew will step up in the final. We will likely still lose, but he'll kick three and be the most dangerous forward.

Retire? He still thinks he can go on next year.

I hope he stopped thinking that at half time on Saturday night.

 

[rm3504]

I'd keep drew in reluctantly... waite hasn't played enough since round 9... he's too underdone.
I'd also play cunners down fwd, our midfield will get slaughtered if we play swallow, cunners, dal and Dumont together... too slow
our midfield has been rubbish for 2nd half of season, if we don't fix that, who we have up fwd wont matter
the only way we win I think is by shaking things up... one of cunners and ziebell must be in fwd 50 at all times
and then hope with extra responsibility the others in the middle can lift.. cos doing the same thing as the last 10 weeks is going to produce a 10 goal loss
bring in Clarke for some run

Don't worry. Mr Overaching Legacy will make the right choice. :stern look

 

[Grogg]

The midfield needs a real injection of pace and we can't go with four Mr Plods and expect anything different.

Maybe Atley could play the tag on Sloane?

Dunno, just spitballing.

 

[ozzyoslo]

Drewy, shouldn't be dropped......he'll play our last game of the season, whether its week 1 of the finals or Gf day.

Bulldogs having to travel twice to Perth in 11 days seems completely unfair. They should be given a home final at the Western Oval to compensate for the short turnaround. I'm sure West Coast wouldn't mind.

no other club has been forced to do that before!!

(IIRC, didn't we go there twice in 8 days 2 or 3 years back?)

can't the western braves do anything original ever?

 

[SMaturin]

**** the smug smirking lot of them.

Mark Stevens. I'm lookin at you.

 

[Dugdale2Dwyer]

Drew wont be dropped but he needs to be told he's running out of chances.

 

[shintemaster]

I genuinely lol'd.

 

[koshari]

Its a genuine nose despite face scenario regarding drew. The probability of him being omitted is eclipsed only by the probability of him changing his form of this year.

I'm watching. It's easy now. Before, when I thought we were going well, Hutchy in particular was really annoying. Now it's like I'm under heavy sedation and all the laughter, criticism and ridicule is just water off a duck's back.
