Review Round 23 vs North Melbourne @ Marvel Stadium - 20/8/22 2:10pm

[RowellAnderson12]

Holman is out for the game/year (back injury).

100% for some speed. Some run and carry would really help. Weirdly North are quite competitive with us in most key stats. I reckon their midfield might give us a run.

We’re also similar in terms of games played/age profile, so really it’s just whether we have the class (not sure) and fitness (probably) to roll over them.

I reckon Luke Davies-Uniacke will poll 3, he's a legit superstar.

North mids will kill us, we're just tired atm, same problem as last year. Dewy should reward Fiorini with a full game in the guts, will drive his price up

 

[RowellAnderson12]

Not expecting too much now, decimated with injuries everywhere, a loss is gonna hurt. Basically lost all the progress we've made.

North have only beaten the Covid eagles & misfiring Richmond. This one is gonna hurt.

But not Lachie Weller level right?

 

[Stroppy]

Important game.
Win this as we should given how the two teams have performed, get to 10-12, get the % over 100 for the season for the first time ever, call it a pass. And the pressure valve is released a bit. Especially if we start the game strongly and put it away early.

Lose and the pressure starts earlier next year, as it should.

Yes, got to come out strong..
Give North a bit of a sniff and we are high risk of letting it slip.

They've got players that can get a roll on like LDU, Larkey and Zurhaar.

 

[The Kings Ransom]

Completely different setting
But last game we really smashed them despite very similar team experience - North 24.8 years, 77 games - Suns 24.5 years, 72 games
We had 13 different goal scorers.

Chol hardly touched it
Casboult didn't play

had 25 touches and 11 tackles

We'll be missing Powell, Weller, Buderick, Jeffrey, Rankine, Holman, Markov (probably not selected)

Probably replaced with: Hollands, Lemmens, Lukosius, Andrew, Macpherson, Sharp, Burgess/Fiorini?

 

[KingCoasters]

We might be coming 12th on the ladder but we’re first for making shit decisions at the selection table.

We might be coming 12th on the ladder but we’re first for making s**t decisions at the selection table.

It’s absolutely bizarre and has been for the last month.

 

[Jen2310]

In: A.Sexton, H.Oea
Out: I.Rankine (shoulder), S.Day (knee), J.Sharp (Medi-Sub)

 

[The Kings Ransom]

I wouldn't have minded so much if Sharp stayed in instead of Oea.

 

[The Kings Ransom]

North's backline is pretty weak

Mackay on Casboult
Dawson on Chol
Corr on Lukosius
Bonar on Ainsworth
Young on Rosas
Goater on Sexton

We've kicked around 60 points only the last 2 weeks
Reckon we can kick a fair few goals against that set up.

 

[ajhgcs]

Just not really any imagination with the team, just lateral thinking bringing Sexton in. Why not try Swallow forward and move Bowes into the mid?
Sexton isn't best 22 and definitely won't be next season so why play him?

Maybe farewell game before he is put on the trade table

 

[eppo67]

Ace and Sexton LOL WOW.
Is this some sort of bizarre joke.
Honestly what a Cluster.....
McPherson and Flanders don't get dropped WOW.
Honestly Dew gets away with sooo much being in a Northern outpost.

 

[Choppers]

Nothing changes.......looks like I'll be watching Freo v GWS, or better still I might water the garden....

 

[madjoe]

with the team dew picks you would think we are top 4 and flying.. Sharp just had to play gain nothing by playing sexton

 

[Southern Sun]

Wouldn't be surprised if sexton kicks 4 or 5 this week

 

[Supersuns]

Cant wait to watch Secco try to kick the most miracle goals ever and burn everyone single one of his teammates

 

[RowellAnderson12]

Can't believe we aren't mixing it up. Disappointed

Better off watching the VFL, Fiorini getting 40 touches and 2 goals and another win

 

[Jen2310]

Meanwhile no Fiorini or Bowes..

 

[Deleted member 2402071]

If Clarko chooses Essendon, the North players might not even bother turning up on the weekend.

IMO, Fiorini can only play inside and he is not replacing Anderson and Rowell. And his kicking is still poor even in VFL. Find another team, Brayden.

I am disappointed that Moyle, Faulkhead did not get opportunity.

Also, can someone explain to me why we brought Constable in........was it just to play VFL?

Imo, a perfect foil to rotate with the mid twins...

 

[Billy ray]

ergh, north are going to be on a high with clarkson announcement.
if we get within 5 goals id be surprised.

 

[lommy]

Oh dear…
