Prediction Round 8: Changes Vs North Melbourne + pre-match discussion

[CapitalA]

Is Goldy rucking 100% of the game now?

Also, I'm saying it's one of Amiss and Meek, not both

Pretty much he is one of the best endurance rucks in the game...

 

[StingBitten]

So we've got 5 first round draft picks at our disposal for selection.

Young, Chapman, Sturt, Erasmus and Henry.

And a top three in the league ruckman.

Please go easy on us guys

Highly doubt Amiss comes in, even the Eagles haven’t chucked Rhett Bazzo in their 22.

 

[Freo Big Fella]

Darcy and Meek will both play in this match. Anyone thinking they won't has rocks in their head.

Think the bigger question is which other forward comes in? I can’t see us rolling solely with Treacy+resting ruck.

Makes me think Sturt will be in the mix as he’s probably better suited to the third marking target role.

I've heard on AFL 360 tonight that Lobby, Acres and Colyer are on COVID protocols

I see the club quietly increased ticket prices.....cheapest ticket now $37

 

[sumavich]

apparently the bus to Geelong was the culprit, footy rhino mentioned on the news

Get that 6 game membership, it’s around $15 a ticket or something ridiculous. I pay $50 per game

How is the whole team not out?

 

[wild side]

They might be, it's early in the week

Do we have enough players who didn’t play against the cats to field a team? I guess there are the wafl top up players

 

[Sweetback]

Mundy, Schultz and Cox have already had it too

the 6 games for $75? think that deal has ended

Think just the GA seats aren't available as individual tickets because we have too many GA members, likely whatever is not claimed by Friday will be released back into the pool

 

[Spirit Level]

An outbreak would be a massive bummer for what could be our only Friday night game

Hopefully it hasn't spread too bad.

They would have all been wearing the best PPE possible though so I'm hopeful

I count 15 that either had a period of H+S protocols recently or played at Peel last week. That 15 always includes Hamling, Erasmus, Darcy and Crowden who I’ve assumed will all be fit this week.

If the whole side plus the two emergencies are out excluding Mundy, Schultz and Cox we’d need to field 7 top up players. There’s a few missing from our top up list so it’d probably mean we would be picking from a list of 10-12 top ups.

It’d look something like this:

Hughes Cox Young
Wilson Hamling Chapman
Henry Blakely ???
Schultz Amiss Crowden
Sturt ??? ???
Darcy Mundy Erasmus

??? ??? ??? ???

In reality the likelihood of more cases is possible, however it’s quite likely that it won’t be the whole side that played on Saturday and it’s probably more like one or two more cases.

Fingers crossed on no more out.

Is that still a thing?

For the last two home games I’ve only gone on the app and downloaded the ticket when I’ve sitting on the bus that takes me there. Do we have members that have access to games but don’t have an allocated seat?

Please go easy on us guys

It's a shame Fyfe isn't playing, Horne-Francis would've loved the opportunity to play against his idol.

Yeah its called a general admission membership, you have to claim your tickets before each game


It's like the cheap membership package, there are a whole variety of different packages nowadays

 

[Moonrat]

6PR reckon there are a few more COVID outs to come. Didn't mention a source.

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

Famous last words but with Darcy, Chapman and Young to come in, I'd only be concerned if it was an Eagles style wipe-out tbh

 

[Polo342]

The real question is. How many could we afford to have out with covid before North would be favs
