Having a look at his avatar from another perspective reveals the cause of his problem.
Anyone missing a purple crayon?
I think some are underrating North a bit. They stayed within 20 of The Dogs for 3/4 last week. We were obliterated 15 minutes in. We have our weakest side of the year in.
Anyone taking any form out of last week is kidding themselves, The Eagles are a rabble.
I reckon we'll get pumped.

Yeah, I think the Roos at Etihad will be a very tough ask. They have been decimated with injury, so it is harsh to say they are a rabble. We have been struck down, but likewise they have been missing Petrie, Wells, Anthony, Ziebell, etc. They get a few good players back, and actually have decent ruckmen that could exploit Sandilands not being out there. I think it will be much like the Richmond game ... a 60/40 game we should win, but wouldn't be surprised to lose by 15-20 points.

WE DESERVE IT
Quality post imo.
Coincidence that Zac gets an excellent write-up earlier in the week ahead of today's announcement?
It's not just exercise bikes and spiders that spin
Yeah, good point. Perhaps a bit too much of a coincedence.

Ahahhahahaha
PS: With Sandi out, I think the Kangas will try and expose us for height, like they did at Subi earlier in the year. If that happens, you'd expect us to belt them around the ground.
I've got a funny feeling that Pre Season game might have been a preview of Saturday
So we're going to rest Ballantyne for 4 - 6 weeks to freshen him up?
Good point, I didn't realize it was this bad minus Sandilands. Seeing as the midfield is essentially the same it doesn't bode well, though if Mora, Hill and Palmer can step up you never know.
And North are a rabble, bordering on being shipped off to Tasmania, I'm sure their players are disillusioned from it all going down this week.
I like the sound of "they're keeping Sandi off the dodgy Jihad surface"

Doh! That's food for thought isn't it.
For the record, I reckon he's genuinely injured, but its probably one of those "if it was a finals game we'd risk him" type thing.
As for 4th spot, that was always a long shot and this wont make that much difference.
Finally, I don't think it's the ruck contest as such where we'll hurt, but his ability to be that 'outlet kick' often used from the back-line in various situations. When Keps and Johno play in the ruck, its where we see the most loss.
On the other side of the coin, Sandi had his worst game of the season by a long way last time we were at brake-your-ankles arena and if he was going to play like that again then we're not actually loosing that much this time 'round.

Hope not. Just traded him out of my DreamTeam. Would much rather have preferred to keep an extra trade for a big game D:
PS, Moo is a prick. Busted out 200 over average last week and cost me a top 4 spot.
We are in a good position,finish 6th and home final.Are freo dictating who gets into the final 8 by not playing the comps best ruck & small forward.

Pretty average really. Certainly not dominating enough to demand a call-up. Its his second-efforts that are the big worry. Certainly the talent's there. Good trade bait at the end of the year IMO.
This is 1 of the 4 games we would have thought we would win, the other against Sydney at home. Hawks will be tough, and Carlton will be tough with the long travel and short break.
Conspiracy theories make me laugh. Like the old "we intended to lose that game so we can win the flag theory".
So, while Sandi may be rested to an extent there is no doubt he has dropped off in recent weeks (last week was good but any ruckman will look good against the Eagles). So he is definately carrying an injury. He needs time off - simple. We can win without Sandi. Sandi now looks good coz he has a better midfield around him. His tapping has improved considerably, but a good midfield makes clearances, not necessarily a good ruckman.
They would not rest Balla either. If they wanted to rest anybody it would be Pavlich.
Make no mistake we want to win this game, I am not sure how we will go as many of the youngsters are not travelling well interstate anymore. Important game for both clubs.

One thing that hasn't been mention is how much work Sandi does around the clearances. Just his size and the space he takes up when the ball goes to ground after it's on the deck. We've been utterly pumped around stoppages when he's not there.
looking at Sandis supercoach scores over the last few weeks i reckon he has been carrying this injury for a while, Im thinking he will be out for a couple of weeks at least as there is no point risking him before the finals.

Didn't we beat the Roos without Sandi and Pav this pre-season?
Had Sandi, may have rested Pav.
Here we go ,a modicum of success and WCE type arrogance comes out.
Admit it you have NFI about North and are parroting what you read on B13
Smart move though not risking your No1 player at Etihad beach

No I'm pretty much the same all the time, unlike most I'm consistent in my personality.
I don't read B13, but maybe I should for a laugh. I know enough of the macro details about North, that you can't sustain yourself, that Melbourne has too many clubs in it, and that it won't be a truly national competition until the weaker Melbourne teams like North go back to the VFL where they belong. How about instead of taxing us Freo members to keep your crap team alive you fold back to the VFL where you can be competitive?
