..........Out: Wanganeen, Walsh, Bishop (OMITTED).......Bishop's gold pass is still valid for 2006 so no way he will be "ommitted".

Walsh was one of our better players Saturday night (in fact he was given third and sixth best on the club website) so he is unlikely to be dropped.

BEST – Kangaroos: Simpson, Harris, Harvey, Wells, Rawlings, Archer, Brown., Grant
Port Adelaide: K.Cornes, S.Burgoyne, Walsh, P.Burgoyne, Lade, Walsh, C. Cornes.

How Peter "Brain Fade" Burgoyne got in there is a mystery :confused:

I wouldn't mind seeing him rested A LOT this year. We need to get the back line of the future in place as soon as possible.

I would rest Wangas in the SANFL until he clearly has fitness and form on his side. This is what should always be done with underdone players who might be a liability, however legendary or brilliant their reputations might be.
I am going to give Dewy one more go at this after much deliberation, as I think he should be played as close to our goal as possible. I would prefer Motlop's pace near the midfield and Dew's goalsmarts are still valuable, although he needs to clearly show more desperation.

I just don't know what role the Grew is playing for us in Tredrea's absence. With Warren around to command opposition defenders to him, I think Michael can roam freely a bit more, but he had such little impact last week and although we all want him to play in Bish's spot, truth is when he has been trialled there (against Welsh and N. Brown last year and Harding in round 1) he has looked very panicky when the ball comes in one-on-one.

I hope but doubt Willits will come in, but good side. Swap Ebert and Pearce.

Hmm...OK.



Huh? But you just said....

Porthos, I know it's almost contradictory, but here is how I see it.

Wangas does not look right. In his last year, Hardwick was played in the SANFL and came into the side mid-year when his touch and fitness were on the improve. Wangas' season can be valuable to us but he clearly needs 2-3 weeks IMO to freshen up.

Dew has always been the most underachieving player in our side. I have argued for a long time that he isn't a midfielder's ****hole. He doesn't win clearances, doesn't run with the ball, doesn't win his own ball, doesn't accumulate possessions. Lately when he gets it in the middle, the crowd yell for him to kick long and he looks sideways and chips it to a teammate on the wing.:rolleyes: I still believe that close to goal he poses a problem for opponents. He obviously needs to attack contests better, but at Ladey's feet Dewy could still be a threat. He is better in tight situations than most because he does get the ball onto boot quickly. I'd like to see him used close to goal for this coming game.
Plus I just don't know how we would use Pettigrew against the Swans.

Considering Deluca in for Grew too.

Chad up forward lets us bomb long, as he's still our best contested mark in small spaces.

Wakelin runs with Barry Hall, Willits main job is to practice firing Hall up, cutting in front and generally being a ********. Primus can educate him on how to get Hall fired up, what to say, etc. Hall usually gets two men anyway, so this is a good intro for Bruce.

K. Cornes at half-forward until he starts being damaging with disposal. He will want to get the ball, so hopefully he can get some perspective in what half-forwards wants from their midfield.

Wilson to stay in defence all game, none of this midfield bull********. If he snots Nick Davis, all the better.

Motlop in the middle for two reasons. One is physicality, two is to be a dummy receiver as the Port rucks will be instructed to tap to Thomson every time until Sydney figure this out. Rotate him with Mahoney a bit, Mahns deserves a bit of a run in the middle.

Bishop on the bench as a stepping stone...either on the way back into the first 18, or out of the first 22.

Wanganeen to be the bench player he's supposed to be. Tell him to play sweeper in defence for Willits/Wakelin to dish off to (taking Bishop's role), and possibly a run up forward when we're doing ok in the middle.

Porthos, I know it's almost contradictory, but here is how I see it.While the bit about dropping Wangas made sense, I still don't see how keeping Dew in makes sense. Lonie was BOG for North on the weekend, give him a run. Put in Symes. Hell, give Ezard a run!

Dew might be damaging close to goal when Tredrea is there, but I'm pretty sure Motlop and Pearce are just as good at copping a handpass from the big bloke and slotting it on the run.

Whats more, dropping Wangas and keeping Dew in would send entirely the wrong message to the playing group; that its better to not work hard than to work hard and be seen to be unfit?

Different, but I like it. The only part I disagree with is having Mahoney switching with Motlop. Maybe have Motlop switching with Ebert.

I won't bother getting my hopes up, and stick to the only change to be Thurstans in for Chaplin. Choco won't drop Dew or rest Wanganeen. Toby will probably slot straight in CHB. Chad will stay midfield because he lead the clearances for us on Saturday.

Within that context, a couple of things I'd like to see are Motlop in the midfield - maybe not so much running needed at the SCG ... and play Pettigrew down back on O'Loughlin. He might get schooled, but I guess that's how he'll learn. And when Grew gets the ball and sees an opening he runs like a scalded cat.

If Choco's true to his word, Salopek, Ebert and Thomson will all get gametime. Let's hope it's significant.

In: Symes, Lonie,
Out: Dew, (general soreness), Chaplin (injured)
Emergency: Willits, Thurstans, & a running player

Plenty of runners on the bench. Pettigrew would be used as centre half forward for the opening bounces then White could come out to centre half forward. Ebert changing with Pearce on the wing so we have got plenty of pace, Lonie could also change with Cassisi if needed.
Plenty of run & creativity in the backline & you could also drop Gav back there if needed to play a sweeping role.
The reason i say Pettigrew as centre half forward is that the SCG is a very small ground so your centre half forward often gets the ball kicked over his head & Pettigrew can take a good mark & is very mobile.
Most important is to use the bench regularly so that we can keep fresh legs on the ground particularly in the centre square. :thumbsu:

Am i the only person who thinks Chad should be elft at CHB?

2004 we had awesome run from back there, with chad and junior, it also left wakes to just play the stopping job and bishop got the third tall if they have one, plus wanganeen sweeping, walshy running it out and chaplin back to help chad out if there CHF starts to get some form.

We don't need chad up forward, nor do we need him in the middle with all our youngsters coming through, slot him in at CHB and let him do his thing.

I find with msot players given the free roam license they tend to drift in and out of games and spend patches where they just kind of follow the ball but dont have an influence.

I would much prefer to leave Chad at the CHB position and let him float around the defensive end. That's what he did in 2004 and it worked to perfection. If I remember correctly, he named that year's AA CHB.

I think with the midfield we had that year (2004) was alot better at putting pressure on the oppostion's midfield than our current midfield. This then made delivery to the forwards difficult & Chad could float around the defensive area.

My feeling is, that if he tried to do that now his man would get a fair bit of the ball.

He might have to play there until Chappy gets back but as soon as Chappy is ready i would slot him straight back into CHB.

Just my thoughts.

I would have chappy play in the bacl half, wether it is CHB or not depends on match ups. Bish certainly can't down a key post anymore, a third tall is all he can do capably, and even that is debatable. With chad in the back line we get so much more run and rebound because he doesn't spoil but he takes grabs and hands off to junior or his brother to run out with.

Like it's been said he worked to perfection at CHB in 2004 why do we feel the need to move him now? Give our youngsters more time in the middle. It's time sal and ebert and those guys took charge, we shouldn't need chad in there showing the way.

There might be more than 1 change ... but possible bad news Porthos, Symes might not be one of them. From the tiser (http://www.theadvertiser.news.com.au/footy/story_page/0,8747,18724330%255E21545,00.html).

While captain Warren Tredrea (knee) and Chaplin (fractured eye socket) will miss, there also is some concern over Domenic Cassisi, Gavin Wanganeen, Dean Brogan and Brad Symes, who is in line for promotion. All were inconvenienced at training at Alberton yesterday and will be tested tomorrow.

Word from a North Adelaide fan at work is that Lonie was fantastic for the Roosters on the weekend. This guy was especially impressed with his disposal. When I questioned him about hardness at the football I didn't get any sort of response. Even though I pursued this by saying we needed players who are hard at it I still got nowhere so I'm assuming Nathan didn't do anything special in that department.

Toots Hibbert

In Symes (if fit) to HBF - Junior to the midfield

If Symes is not fit we need a Shaq attack.

Toots Hibbert
6 Apr 2006, 15:04
Just had another thought

How about dropping Bishop and putting Pettigrew into the back pocket as the third tall. This makes room in the 22 for DeLuca. I'd use him as the second ruckman giving him a run for between 5 to 10 minutes a quarter to give Broges a rest. (Hopefully Deano has got the brain spasms out of his system). That would free Lade to play CHF till Tredders comes back. I thought he looked really good there against the Roos, he knows where to move to, takes a good grab and kicks well.

DeLuca looked good in the trial games and went well on the weekend for Sturt apparently.

You don't like the DeLuca/ Lade idea? Forget the third tall business if you don't like it but put Pettigrew back there as his mobility speed and disposal would be useful there.

I like a strong defence, and I'd rather bring in Ezard than bring in another pacey guy that you can't count on to cover an opponent.

Bringing in Deluca for Pettigrew is fine if you think we need to work on rucks. I would expect similar output from either.

Dont think SCG is a ground that will suit three ruckmen. I'd be more inclined to rest Brogan if hes not right and bring in Deluca (given Brogan was off the track again with back soreness yesterday - and that hes not in my fantasy team).

Lade didnt really play CHF against Roos was at Full forward when he kicked the goals and didnt look mobile enough (as White was) to play CHF.

I'm not asking for three ruckmen. I want Lade at CHF. He did play there at times on Saturday night and it was a joy to watch his movement. He knew where to got to and patrolled across half forward as a stay at home CHF. He would have totalled about 25 mins in that role if I'm not mistaken. We started the game with him there. On the mobility question that's a fair point but the threat he poses in the air and his accurate kicking makes up for it. It's not ideal but is a stop gap measure till Tredders gets back.

Porthos
6 Apr 2006, 16:00
Lade has never been any good as a forward all game. You tend to get the same output from him if he plays a half up forward as if he played full time...the bonus being that he can ruck in the other half too.

So what is White ?

IMO Lade was playing closer to goal, White was doing the roaming. Regardless - being the SCG they would both be playing close to goal due to its size.

Well we need another tall forward option besides White and Lade looks the best bet to me given Chad will have to play CHB.

Good point - often he is quite effective up forward when he isnt actually playing there - but slips down while in the ruck.

From doiler, a regular North Adelaide contributor to queries on our local league players (from the SANFL Form thread)

Lonie was given 3rd best from memory at presso's after the game and was very good coming off the wing. Most of his 22 kicks were penetrating deep into the forward lines. The main question mark I had on him from watching some of his Hawthorn games were based on whether he was prepared to put his body on the line and do the tough stuff and butter up for second and third contests, but he did that well on Saturday when he had to.

I'd like to see Lade tried as a permanent forward with Deluca and Brogan sharing the ruck duties. Altho if Porthos is right, we won't get any more productivity out of him that way. Still I think it's a big ask for him to play the full 120 odd minutes on the ground with alternating roles as a forward pushing up and a ruckman pushing back. It's not as if he just stands in the goal square.

Malibu#27
6 Apr 2006, 16:12

Agreed - he probably is the best bet, short of a punt on Bruce which wont happen.

However an issue I have is that if he does go into the ruck - we need another tall down forward to replace him. Too often we look OK with him resting at FF, he goes to ruck, Brogan goes off and we are left with a lone tall up forward.

If Brogan is fit, then the idea of him and Deluca rucking with Lade stationed in the goal square has merit.

Porthos

Sydney have one tall forward of any note, and Wakelin usually gets that dance. I don't see that we have any urgent need to play Chad in defence this week.

They'll have enough tall options up forward to require a genuine CHB. Hall, Goodes, a ruckman at times.
