Unofficial Preview Round 1 Vs Giants - Saturday March 16

[zoomba23]

Chom is a lock for mine

Could have kept him forward but there’s a CHB role for him

Looked good in the intra if he plays well v saints there should be no question him and Corr start as our keys

The other guys are state league backups

That may be your opinion. I doubt it'll be reality

 

[shintemaster]

Hard to see Comben playing rd 1 on what's been presented.

Dawson's a lock. Pink possibly along with Nyuon. They may both play.

I reckon only one of those two - but it is dependent on Corr / McDonald and how they track. Personally I'd rather roll out fit players in Round 1, we are not at the stage to be pushing these types back early. A Larkey or LDU, maybe.

 

[Northball]

Just noticed the bookies have us $3.75 for this clash. I've dead-set loaded up to my gills on that. It's virtually money in the bank. I've already told Mrs. Cloke, first thing we're doing after we win, is buying a brand new Aldi, & ripping up the carpet up at home & getting polish floor boards.

You’ll always be my first… shop

I agree. Pink and Dawson get 1st crack as the main KPD's. If Corr gets through the Saints game he is the 3rd tall. Goater is the 7th defender off the bench as he can cover 3rd tall and smalls. Then Sheez, Kerch, Bergman. McDonald considered only if he plays most of the Saints game.

 

[the big lebowski]

Corr and comben should be our key defenders for round 1

For me it’s dawson v biggie for third tall

I think biggie is well suited to north ball with his speed

Lmac will get greene again

B: McDonald Corr Nyuon/Dawson
HB: Sheezel Comben Fisher
Kerch off the bench rotating

When you state your opinion, in this case the key defenders of comben and Nyuon being selected infront of Dawson and pink, do you do so hoping its comben and biggy or thinking it will be comben and biggy?

Follow up question. Do you purposefully ignore all the information that shows it’s very likely to be Dawson, pink and corr for round 1?

Comben and Corr when fit are locks imo

Then it’s who will be the 3rd whilst we wait for Logue I’m hoping Biggie but could easily be dawson

There’s also a chance we don’t play a 3rd tall and go smaller to start the year with McDonald and Goater

I’ll assume you ignore the evidence like you ignored my question.

Which is fine.

Just be aware that pink and Dawson will be playing fb and chb for the foreseeable future and Biggy and comben will be playing vfl.

They only played as the other 2 didn’t through reconditioning or soreness but should resume v saints

They are state league backups who are vfl level

And biggy is what exactly?

Comben has never played a senior football match down back, has the defensive nous of a forward, and is held together with tape.

But anyway, the point is the reality is that biggy and Comben will start round 1 in the vfl. The likelihood is they’ll be there all year once Logue comes back.

Clearly the answer to my question is that you ignore all evidence that doesn’t match your initial opinion.

The same as them which is why they are fighting for 1 spot potentially

Corr, comben and Logue is our best 3

 

[Reginald0]

Biggy has no physical presence
He actually has negative output because the other blokes know he has no idea
We have seen this before
If he can learn how to handle actually being tackled or like just maybe figuring out what to do to Avoid being caught then give him a game
Otherwise possibly the greatest liability I have seen on a footy field for a few years

Biggie has that
Go back and watch his vfl game vs us last year marking everything

His upside is huge

He’s that intercepting 3rd tall that provides rebound and suits northball

Why do you think patch said Dawson will be the first defender picked for round 1?

 

[The Nostradamus]

Cos he’s performed well in preseason training in the absence of the others but patch ain’t backline coach

And the others will be available

 

[DunderHead]

I think we're better going into round 1 with a settled defence who have played a series of games together

Biggie, Dawson, Pink as the talls
Mckercher Sheezel Goater and Fisher the smalls

Chom, Corr, Will Dawson, McDonald, Hardman to push their cases in the VFL. Coming in with a fool head of steam.

So just to close the loop on this, you feel he wasn’t being serious?

Nope of the 3 state league players he viewed his preseason highest

Now comben and Corr will be back from saints onwards

Lastly. You know comben, who aside from never having played in defence, hasn’t completed 4 qrts in any scratch match this preseason?

You clearly missed the intra club

He played the intra club and looked the best there

He also took part in 2 match sims in jan

Lol ok let’s die on that hill then

The parts he played he looked good

I love comben.

But he hasn’t played a full game at la Trobe, Arden st, and missed the Collingwood game in it’s entirety.

He may or may not get so game time against the saints.

It seems delusional to think he will be given a go ahead of Dawson or pink, who have played 4 qrts in all 3 of those games.

If he gets through saints he plays

 

[the big lebowski]

Fair enough.

The reality is clarko won’t bring in guys that can’t run out the game in round 1.

The fact that Dawson and pink are currently much better defenders than comben is a bonus I guess.

Why not give Biggie a go as the second tall forward?
Larkey Zurhaar and Biggie.
I agree, he is not strong enough to play back.
