Unofficial Preview Changes and preview thread versus Carlton

[Kangaroos4eva]

I don't want to alarm anyone, but North just posted ANOTHER photo of Harps on their instagram!

 

[Grogg]

Ahhhhh Bigfooty.

The only place a guy averaging 9 possessions and a goal a game 3 seasons ago is now a must have in the team.

Lol

 

[Higgins2Waite]

Walked past Harps & Tippett at Knifepoint not 10 minutes ago. Harps smiling and joking.

This means absolutely nothing.

Scaring the fringe players into lifting a gear...clever!

I'll take Black, McKenzie and Daw next week!

 

[Shermanator]

Really Sherm? I don't see that at all.

Stringer seems taller and clearly stronger than Harps despite being younger.....but we all see things differently at times.

As for Harper playing I'd doubt he's done enough ..

Yeah the body shape, the dynamics of their running styles and core strength to shake people off and hit the goals at 100 miles phr just reminded me so much of KH in his first couple of years. Stringer however is well on his way to a bona-fide A grader and Harps was trade bait last year with no bites.. Gee I would love Harps to be a late bloomer and turn his whole career around after been written off Sam Wright style..

There was a bit of Harper love on the NMFC Instagram account. Possibly teasing us regarding selection tonight??

Interestingly enough (maybe) that photo was from a personal collection of a co-worker of mine (Harps is a family friend) and he was none too happy (playfully) it saw the light of day. I suspect Mason Wood of playing pranks.

Means Harps is leading the B and F around here

Like National Draft eon when posters will murder club staff if kids they've never seen play aren't drafted?

 

[giantroo]

Rd18 teams on http://afl.com.au Carl v NMelb; Carrazzo, Wood, Menzel, Smith in for Jones, Holman, Walsh, Johnson. NMelb unchanged.

 

[Phillyroo]

No change

 

[the_one]

no changes..

 

[Twinkletoes]

Emergencies?

 

[TooUglyForFugly]

Gibson stays.

That surprises most people. Not me. Yet again.

 

[Roo Beauty]

I wanted Harper in so bad.

 

[Chazdog92]

Bummer looks like Harper won't gets another game.

 

[giantroo]

Emergencies?

McKenzie, Nahas , Mullett

 

[Roo Beauty]

Emergencies?

McKenzie, Nahas, Mullett.

 

[TooUglyForFugly]

No Harper. Boo.

 

[kangaspurs]

Harper not on the emergencies list this week either, McKenzie has taken his spot as 'first' emergency.

 

[Roo Beauty]

Harper goes from 23rd man + 2 consecutive pics of him on North's Instagram to not even being in the 25.

Talk about a fall from grace.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Harper.

Why you no put him in?

 

[trooroo4life]

You c***s got my hopes up with Harper

He is off the emergency list now too.

 

[LETSGOKANGAS]

I guess match committee knows best.

Carlton by 18

 

[ArjenTheGreat]

Why we continue to select blokes who need a rest with their body (wrighty) and form / confidence (gibson) is staggering.

We simply never make changes after a win.

 

[The Filth Wizard]

I'd imagine Harper will get a big chance this weekend to play against Melbourne.

 

[KangaRooster]

At least there's still Melbourne and St Kilda coming up where Wood, Harper and McKenzie could get a run. I care more about winning games and building continuity for finals right now though. Plenty of percentage to be had in the coming weeks.
