Game Day Gameday vs the Roos

[hey shorty]

A good start is very important.

North will sense complacency in us, but I actually think we'll go the other way and be too tense.

We need a good start to calm the nerves and put the doubt back in North's heads.

 

[hey shorty]

10 changes from our diabolical loss to North last year.

Doedee > Hartigan
Sholl > Atkins
Butts > Talia
Rowe > Stengle
Frampton > Himmelberg
Walker > Strachan
McHenry > Jones
Berry > Knight
Schoenberg > Matt Crouch
Fogarty > Gibbs

Me thinks the most important changes are in the coaches box.

North changes from that game...
Out - Anderson, Dumont, Daw, Pittard, MacMillan, Tarrant, Taylor, Higgins
In - Ziebell, Powell, Thomas, Lazzaro, Stephenson, Cunnington, Phillips, Turner

Both 22s have gained and lost similar talent IMO with maybe us having the better inclusions, youre right its all in the coaches box this one.

Cool heads needed by the AFC early to take any initial heat of the game after North's pounding last week. They should respond early.

This is where missing Sloane will hurt.

Very interested to see the starting CB setup

I should be knowing this but I dont.

Can an interchange player start on the field at the opening bounce or does a rotation need to be taken for that player to come onto the ground?

 

[thebirdman 24]

I remember when we selected the squad for this match. We had every ounce of experience back in for it and we played our worst match for the year.

Then the next week we dropped a few players never to be seen again thankfully.

Interchange on the teamsheet is just that, the final starting 18 is known an hour before

Seems most likely

 

[Bay62]

Win or lose, I want to see effort, progress and improvement in the young blokes

 

[Scorpus]

First time wearing the new yellow guernsey today.

Let's hope we start a trend of playing well in it, as opposed to the mid 2000s dreaded red guernsey - I reckon we were something like 2W 15L wearing that abomination.

We usually play in our home guernsey against North away I'm pretty sure

 

[kirky]

So looking forward to seeing the first away game since 2019.

Footy, plane, Marvel Stadium - ah it’s good to have it back.

Now let’s get the job done.

If they're greater than symbols then Frampton and Rowe are wrong. Butts line ball given Talia played under duress most or all of last year.

Rowe isn't wrong, he's a better player than Stengle already

On and Off the ground.

Nope.

 

[maxlilly]

Made worse by an early afternoon start.

I guess to be expected when the Club is going to be relocated to Tasmania.

Looks like Norf have brought the Tasmanian weather for the day for us too.

It wouldnt surprise me if the kept the roof open.

It is the AFL after all.

I wondering if Berry is going to play the Sloane role in the centre bounces today and Fog at HFF changing in the centre ?

Lol it'll be closed don't be silly

 

[GROTTO]

You know its actually rained during a match at the Dome with the roof open.

 

[1970crow]

Rowe isn't wrong, he's a better player than Stengle already

Stengle much higher quality player. 2.5 goals, 3.5 tackles in the spoon side with shortened quarters. Better ball user, much more effective player. Rowe's ceiling looks a lot lower. Hopefully I'm wrong, but he's pretty much a finished product and there's not that much there. 100 game career type, like Mackay, but won't last as long.

Fog wont have the stamina to last an entire game in the middle, your suggestion sounds right.

 

[Troy87]

Yeah Sloane out is the concern. He literally changed the momentum for us last week. Someone else needs to set the tone if it goes against us early.

A little Saturday Night Footy in the desert

Not to shabby
