Preview Round 5 v West Coast Eagles Optus Stadium Sunday 14th April 4pm

[Morro]

The thing is McAuliffe got injured last week, he's 18, I don't know if they're just going to stick him in the guts for a full match.

Dow perhaps the same to a certain degree, injured last week.

The hard part is playing both of these guys when they've already got some sort of injury, and expecting them to play out a full match.

Surely they only play if considered 100%

I agree if he gets injured then half the board will be livid for rushing him back and more daggers in Meehan's back.lol

how do you know that? It was a roled ankle a week ago FFS

100% is like 33% for Meehan. lol

 

[Coach_Required]

Going to be a lot of melts when McAuliffe doesnt get selected to play this weekend.

From that selected bench:

Interchange from:	Tyler Sonsie	40	Jack Graham	34	Mykelti Lefau	42
	Sam Naismith	24	Kane McAuliffe	28	Ben Miller	46
	Hugo Ralphsmith	13	Sam Banks	41

Sub: Sonsie

Hopefully just a stinger

Oh well at least Sonsie & McAuliffe are both going to get some decent minutes this weekend now.

It’s a covert tank job, get a load of injuries so it doesn’t look like you’re intentionally losing games and don’t torpedo the culture. Excellently executed thus far tiges

 

[OhDustinMartin]

Nankervis, Martin, Dow, Baker
…with Bolton, Graham, Pickett, Sonsie, McAuliffe minutes depending on how they adjust.

It’s hardly Nank Cotch Dusty Dion (Lambert, Edwards) now is it

Tank is definitely on when Eagles roll us by 6 goals this weekend.

We are after pick 1 and to maximise our draft hand even more

 

[Daka]

The amount of injuries we have we can't expect guys like Pickett & McIntosh will be dropped now.

Which is what I really wanted to see this year such development into the wing positions. Surely Banks plays now? put Pickett in the guts.

Will make the win taste even sweeter when the youngsters get this win ...
C'mon Bakes ... you want to play midfield ... this is your moment

If we roll the Eagles, then they are worse than I already think they are.

Simmo should get the sack Monday morning.

With Taranto more than likely out, it will mean Graham stays in. I know there was some hoping he would be sent back to the VFL but there is zero chance of that now (It was unlikely anyway).

Our midfield will comprise of Baker, Dow, McAuliffe, Bolton, Dusty, Graham. Sonsie may get a run through there too. A lot of young boys, gonna need Bolton, Baker and Dusty (when he is in there) to really stand up. They have 2 very good players in Kelly and Yeo, going to be a tough slog to get the 4 points.

For all those posting for the last 12 months that we shouldn't have recruited Hopper and Taranto ... we get to see how that would have looked this weekend

 

[Spacedog]

Surely just play Bolton and Dusty as full time mids now

Pick 1 requires north to win more games than us

 

[STRUGGLETOWN EST1885]

Mate with all the injuries going on I am thinking of pulling out my U18s highlights from 2009 and sending them through.

I'm willing to pull the boots on again for the cause.

i get what you're saying but we'd also have a pick 8, pick 14, pick 22 & a pick 34. maybe at least one of them could be a gun although not at this exact stage since they'd all be second year players except for pick 8

so it's not exactly how we'd look
