Preview FACE OFF: Round 22 - North Melbourne v Adelaide @ Bellerive Oval

[Kane McGoodwin]

Ummmmmmm how can you beat us without Kerridge.

This sounds like bush league psych out sh1t.

Kerridge will come in off the emergency as a late change... Please.

 

[hey shorty]

Right so I deliberately didn't come here for a couple hours until the heat died down.......

So a big WTF is happening here ?? We have a bloke who got towelled up by an SANFL player, no matter how awesome said player has been this year, and that guy comes in ?? OK so he was sick and North are really tall, id much rather he plays his final game at home. On that, Shaw injured again ?!?!?! At least it gives us a look at LT as the 3rd tall.

Grigg gets dropped predictably. I was starting to warm to him as our designated sub and he performed OK in the role last week. All I will say is Thommo best be right to go for the full game. Now who plays as the sub ?? Lyons, Cameron, Wright or Martin ?? Based on last week all should count themselves lucky to be in the side. Id say Lyons but Wright would be my choice if that makes sense.

Laird was brilliant last week in the 2s so in for DMoney is a good move provided him plays defence. Push Smith upfield. But the most puzzling move, Crouch Jrs leather poisoning aside, is the lack of our bunny killer. One may assume Kerridge has declared his wish to be traded and hence his non selection. Kangas supporters nation wide are rejoicing with a slight sense of fear given his name appears on the emergency list.

So my rant is at an end for now, and 1 player has paid the price for yet another dismal performance........ 1 #&$*ing player, and he wasn't even our worst !!!!!!

 

[VSTone]

Ummm he still has 2015 and 2016 to go

...
embrace the mediocrity

Couple of in the know posters say he has performances clauses allowing early termination of his contract.

If that's the case, I hope we don't make the finals this year.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Luckily North don't have anyone as quick up forward as Fatty Boombah Duldig

 

[Crowman32]

I don't get why we have a reserves side because they don't reward the players playing well in that side by selecting them in the AFL side or they just bring them in as sub and yet anyone who performs average for weeks on end in the AFL side gets selected over and over again.

It comes across like they don't even watch the reserves game. Rutten got an absolute bath last week against sturt to the point they had to move in to the forward line and yet gets promoted. Grigg plays as inside midfielder in sanfl and yet never plays that role in AFL. Do the coaches actually bother watching the reserves play?

 

[pjcrows]

You need to put it all into perspective guys. We might get 8th!

Fingers crossed

it's touch and go... knocking Port out of the comp is right up there!

 

[Elite Crow]

not to mention Kerridge form against North Melb is outstanding and is better suited than Wright to play as a defensive forward on NDS

Oh he also mentioned his good form against the Kangaroos, lots of stuff going against him

Truck is more of a "last man standing" selection

Can't fault that one.

Grigg on the other hand and the non-selection of Crouch jnr is something to be fired up about

 

[fabs33]

Wait, Thompson AND Lyons in the same side!

 

[Glenno23]

I've said it before and i'll say it again

I'd take 8th right now and a final at AO

But the selections are still a bit s**t!

He will definately get another year unless we have Ross Lyon MKII lined up. What's Bomber doing next year?

 

[hey shorty]

Laird, Rutten and Thommo....... slow and steady wins the race I see

 

[pjcrows]

I don't care about 8th. I care about losing another must-win game that is followed by only one forced change whilst young players CARVING aren't getting a look in.

 

[Tex200]

That kind of action is only taken by Boards that are in a ruthless quest for a premiership - just not our style

 

[Crow-eater]

I'm just so exhausted with this season, that I don't even care any more. I'm just so done with 2014.

 

[fabs33]

Would playing Thompson in the reserves for a half been a better option considering the unpredictability of his hamstring?

 

[VSTone]

Do the coaches actually bother watching the reserves play?

i'd imagine they'd be too busy with the back log of blowj*bs owed to them by the chosen ones...

 

[Deaneus!]

After our abysmal effort last week, a statement has been made at training.

"We have no plan, no idea, no clue"

In good news, North are $1.72 ATM.

Crouch Jnr and him should switch spots IMO

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

My voodoo Kerridge dance worked, this demon can no longer torment us this year.

 

[Bailey01]

Apparently doomsday scenario is if we win hahahaahah carn you crows!!!!!!!

 

[alex_is_on_fire]

Ummm he still has 2015 and 2016 to go

hopefully he can get a few touches and kick a goal or two.
