Again, Brad Scott is cray cray.

Boomer and James Kelly the subs. Most experienced pair of subs ever.

LOL. That's how desperate they are to make sure Boomer's 400th is in Brisbane. Don't want him to miss even 1 game.

I admire the guts to make the call. Be interesting to see if it comes off.

Lol, l find it funny some bomber posters bitching about north posters in their gameday thread, nek minnit.

 

[WowWeee]

why the fk is boomer a sub

If there was a game where boomer should've been rested it was the GWS game. not when we're playing geelong!

This is a contradicting post. Why would we be desperate to make sure the game isn't in Melbourne?

Cats players buoyed by Menzel news

Because hundreds of North supporters have already booked plane tickets and accommodation for the trip to Brisbane and complained last week when it was looking like he might miss a game.

Fair enough, but that's the last thing that would be on the club's mind when they make Boomer the sub.

If Boomer needs a rest then why wouldn't you just not select him at all?

No doubt in my mind North don't want him missing a game.

Well it will most likely work because he is a quick and very good player even now.

But it is at the expense of having him out there all game, in a side that lacks outside run atm.

Simpson is playing for us I think, Goldy going to run wild tonight.

 

[TheDyerLegacy]

Boomer sub.. Thomas dropped.. Scott making big calls.. guess he has his big boy pants on

For run with have Atley, Mullet and garner has big wraps on him.

Make him your dream team skipper.

Boomer's probably not feeling 100% due to the bug he had last week. Given that they club has confirmed to people over the phone that Boomer's 400th will be in Brisbane, I can see why he still wants to play. Boomer at 75% is still better than what a lot of players produce at 100% anyway.

That's because they want to win on his 400th and know they have no chance against anyone else!

I wish Lindsay was playing!

No Thomas and Boomer as sub, you'd think Geelong should win this. Poor coaching is poor, I'm no fan of Boomer in the slightest way, but the chances of North winning with him as sub go down quite a bit. Although, Boomer is sub - LOL!
