Preview North Melbourne vs. Port Adelaide - 7.10 Saturday April 18 @ Etihad Stadium

[croweyrocks]

Kane Cornes is OUT!

 

[Ralph Lorenz]

Hearing Cornes is to be rested this week

 

[LFC2010]

Cornes out is interesting, could be looking after him considering his age and that we're playing at Etihad this week.

So who comes in for him - Krakouer, Amon, or even a Colquhoun type?

 

[LeoMessi]

Geez. Now I feel guilty calling for his axing!

Is Krakouer even eligible? Doesn't someone have to be on LTI for him to be promoted?!

Otherwise, I'm all for unleashing the Krak

Is that dinkum that Cornesy is out? Moore or Young will come in if so.

Krak won't play. Despite the fact he needs to be upgraded, the club has been pretty consistent in that whilst he is getting better and better, he is still working on being AFL match fit and working on his defensive game. Look forward to seeing him at some point in 2015.

 

[hyperbenny]

Clurey to replace Cornes for me..

Krak will be promoted off the Rookie List when Kane retires after his 300th in Round 8

 

[Rising Power]

Sammy Gray come on down

Yep agreed. One of those two would be a good replacement.

 

[Malibu#27]

Krakour is playing. Been upgraded.

OK so I was wrong

 

[Adz2332]

Krak confirmed starter!

 

[Dylan8]

Its funny you mention this.



We haven't played west coast in melb since 2006 or sydmey in melb since 2007.

It's farcical.

I read this as a Port supporters post and I was thinking weeeeell, no s**t.

ditto, me too...!

looks like there will be a few changes, obviously Ken isn't happy.

 

[Malibu#27]

so Krakouer would be the in for Impey.
Cornes is out, I wonder if they are thinking of like for like and bringing in someone to play a shutdown role (left field Colquhoun, or perhaps Moore), or to increase our midfield strength - perhaps Young.
Redden in or out.

 

[AdamMarrett]

Krak, Moore and Young in for Redden, Impey and Cornes who is being rested. All of a sudden our run on paper looks alot better

 

[WordOfMouth11]

Port will overcome the Roo's this week. A couple players out will force them in a hungry mentality for a first win for 2015

 

[Kingfish73]

Krak for Impey
Young for Cornes
Oshea to free up Trengove to share ruck

 

[stewie griffen]

Rested?

Does anyone believe that a 32 year old needs to be rested in Round 3?

 

[Malibu#27]

No, but Telstra Dome being a fast track ... perhaps they don't think there's a role ?
Who would they tag - Harvey, probably Cornes not the right match up, their mids seem to be bigger bodies types, so maybe again Cornes isn't the right match up.

Moore or Young for Cornes, I suspect Moore as Hinkley is a big fan (as am I..)

 

[simmo_bc]

correct!

He may be sore but there is probably a bit more to it.. no point playing Cornes in the reserves - probably a form enforced rest for a proven player!

Well, Nth Melbourne certainly have some dangerous small forwards so if Impey is out we'll need The Krak to lock down on one of them. Nathan also has beautiful foot skills so hopefully he can use the ball with purpose and help lift our disposal efficiency.
