Preview Changes and pre match discussion vs Gold Coast - thank f***ing Christ it's over

[andana]

I actually don’t know. Archer didn’t play either level so concussion related layoff?

Archer not on AFL medical room injury list

 

[My Left Foote]

B. Mahony Young Howe
HB. Taylor Lazzaro Hanson
C. Tucker Bonar Dawson
HF. Howe Corr Drury
F. Drury Jacobs Curtis
Foll. Free Spicer Scott Bergman

Int. Turner Sheils McKay Powell

Doubling up on Howe and Drury might just be the thing that tips off the AFL that we’re tanking.

 

[danj]

The Kangaroos are unlikely to have Davies-Uniacke and McDonald available again this season, given this weekend will be the final game of 2023. Shiels could still return, having been sidelined for the last fortnight. - Riley Beveridge

Shiels done according to club injury update

SSSSSHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[wolvesRoos]

I'm flying out for this one. Was hoping for a win to end season on high but now wce have surprised us all would prefer to lose I suppose.

Anyone know if now crowds have dropped can u sit in a seat without paying to upgrade.

I can’t imagine too many complaining that you’re sitting in their seat.

If I was a Tassie member I’d be pretty dirty that this was one of the allocated games.

I’m going as well, looking forward to winning in spite of any draft implications. I’d like to think of it as finishing the season with the start of a winning streak

Re seating if the crowd is sparse I’m tipping we will be able to sit anywhere

BTW if you like fishing bring a rod and you can pick up a couple of flatties at half time

We don't tank.

Not very good at counting interchanges is unrelated

I saw some brain specimen try to link that interchange error back to us tanking, I think on the Eagles board. That it was round ten was not relevant.

Did you know that if you add up the IQs of all the North supporters and all the Eagles supporters, you arrive at pretty much the same number.

Only change that matters

In the VFL, Miller Bergman and Kallan Dawson recorded 21 disposals and six marks each, and could win call-ups.

If selected, it would be Bergman's first AFL appearance since Round 16 against Adelaide and Dawson's season debut.

will face a test later in the week in hopes to prove his fitness, after a foot injury kept him out of Round 23.

Charlie Lazzaro has earned consideration having been the most impressive AFL-listed player in the reserves' match. The young onballer recorded game-highs in disposals (35), tackles (12) and clearances (11).

Blake Drury, who replaced McDonald as the substitute at the MCG, played in the VFL as well and kicked two goals from 10 touches playing his half-forward role, throwing his name into the selection hat for the final round.

 

[TheKanga]

what's this f**king s**t

It's a dead rubber for them as well.
Gonna be a pretty shit spectacle.

 

[Only Forwards]

Weagles supporters are weird but we all know that.

I've seen multiple instances of them running with this.

I was sat near the coaches box during that game. Which gave me 2 things:
1) the best ride of the Paul Curtis goal, it was brilliant.
2) the ability to look at the coaches in the dying stages. If that move was premeditated it sure didn't look the coaches knew about it.

 

[Roo Beauty]

Think Lazz has earned some midfield minutes this week. Not forward or sub. Let’s at least give him a crack. Has killed the VFL this year.

The VFL play in this stupid wildcard finals game.

if you had to weight the games for levels of importance the VFL should be more important to the club. We win and one players will taste finals at the lower level.
Every player that is eligible and fit and not absolutely required for the AFL should be playing in the VFL this weekend.

Going from this I’d go:
LDU
Bergman
Archer
Laz

Lazz, LDU and bonar in

If LDU isn’t right then Bergman

For the 2 injured players and howe

 

[Sphynx]

Surely, surely we don't play LDU....

 

[King Corey]

This will be the one ****ing week that Lazarro brings his VFL form into the AFL and turns the bloody game our way.

 

[danj]

Seriously WTF is wrong with you campaigners wanting the boys to lose, really does my head in, we need to win games and we need to get behind the boys and cheer them on to wins! Go Roos hope we win this weekend and stick up the franchise that could have been us, don’t forget 2007 let’s keep on keeping North South

Shiny new draft pick mate, more important than wins (even though we will still likely get 2 phenomenal prospects even if we win).
Let's endure the pain just this once* and get ready to jump back up the ladder next season!

Mckay should be out and protected for free agency.
