Preview Preview and Changes vs North Melbourne. 1:10pm @ NIMBY Park, Sunday

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Honestly Goodwin's never been one for resting players.

Hearing the media say we are going to run Gawn into the ground coz of how heavily we have used him the past three weeks, where have they been? missed three games and has spent half the season sitting in the F50. Max probably feeling as fresh as he ever has at this time of year.

Yes but saying Gawn will be fresh means that they have to say Grundy hasn't been a complete bust.

Big question this week is if we go the typical Goody tactic of blowing the minnow out of the water in the first half then putting the cue in the rack, or will we go for the big percentage boost considering top 2 is in reach.

(will come back to this post when we sneak over the line by 11 points)

or not.

It won't matter in regards to percentage because ports percentage is really bad. I reckon we should get a decent win and should take second spot. Brisbane aren't that far a head in percentage and they won't get a big win over Fremantle. Infact I reckon Fremantle could get up.

Sparrow and Smith in for Tommo and Woey Jr.

We all clearly pumped up Tommo too much, lol. Smith probably deserves a full game though

Exposing Grundy to KPD this week at Casey

Tomlinson stiff again.

Tomo won't be posting in the "post here if you're having a nice time" thread any time soon.

Tomlinson stiff again.

he'll be back when Goody realises (again) that Lever is a borderline liability when he actually has to be accountable for a man.

Perhaps my "hey" thread is more suitable.

You have a thread suited to whatever time someone is having. All bases covered Les.

 

[Toump Ass]

See yah Tommo. And take your crummy attitude with you!!!

 

[LarryDavidNeitz]

Be interesting to see if Grundy is the sub. It’s unorthodox but wouldn’t surprise me if they try it against North.

Smith is surely playing back with the side they’ve selected so he’ll be playing second key back.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Smith will get injured after 60 mins of play proving we should have kept him as sub. Nothing surer.

Yeah but not sure he can lockdown like Tomo can, he's more of an interceptor like Lever. We'll find out Sunday I guess.

It’s actually part of what makes him a perfect sub. Enough time to do 2-3 really good things but not enough time to make mistakes and get injured.

Tomlinson must have been mouthing off at Goody again

calling out his lies. Dont blame him.

May have gone too far after pouring sugar in Goodwin's petrol tank.

 

[Lampers]

Sub choice will be interesting.

Tomlinson, Grundy, Hibberd and Spargo.

None of them scream versatility or run.

Imagine the state of Smith's conditioning if he only played a quarter a week for months on end. Tomlinson very stiff, I'd have rested Melksham and given Smith a crack up forward, but I guess they're still hoping Smith will prove a key defender yet.

Surely Grundy.

Coverage for ruck, forward or back (if they feel like playing with the forward structure again, or just to shut the media up).

Can also just rest Gawn at 3QT if we're dominating.

 

[Lampers]

North have a pretty short forward line. Larkey and probably Xerri the only real height.

Probably an OK week to go in a bit shorter in the backline.
