Changes v kangas

[Bemoreboyddog]

Only way that team can be made better is with Morris I reckon. Love the selection this week. Go and there and get the 4 points boys.

 

[Dog Rising]

Best team we've rolled out all year. Hopefully they are all switched on!

Bont isn't explosive - he was in the bottom 10% of his draft class, that count against him forward. He has such a good football brain it just isn't that noticeable as a mid. I still like him with ball in hand delivering the ball into the F50. Even last week his goals were kicked as a mid, not when playing forward.

Not that I disagree with you in regards to any of this but Naughton was seen as below average With the 20m sprint at the combine.

But all I have seen of him suggests he has a great burst of speed. I’m it sure how much relevance should be put into combine results of 6 years ago.

Granted he is better as a mid delivering and kicking goals, but we simply don’t have another strong body available to help Naughts.

 

[Virgin Dog]

Holy s**t get hyped boys, it's the changes we've all been wanting!

Not only is Gowers dropped, but the 3 lowest performers have made way for Dale, Williams, Lipinski and English. ******* keen

 

[Bemoreboyddog]

We have too many midfielders anyway.
Let the Bont be a permanent forward
Which let's Dunkley and Libba play their natural roles.Bont could be the new Pavlich.
Worth a try anyway...

Please no. If he’s forward our delivery inside 50 somehow gets even worse and you’re asking him to go into the forward and polish a turd effectively. We need our best kicks delivering the ball inside 50 which is why Bont should stay mid and IMO Caleb should be around there too, not in the backline.

Has Bevo been reading these forums?

 

[Northernsoul74]

Well it’s what most of us asked for. I hope these boys don’t let us down. Very exciting on paper.

 

[BallaratBulldog]

Finally some good changes

 

[Dazb86]

Good changes IMO. Not sure about Gowers being dropped.

 

[Substance]

North will be quite experienced, as usual. Note they are significantly heavier than us on average.

[Ant_]

Like the team, would prefer another tall back but like the INs

 

[Johnny_Dogg4]

they actually dropped gowers and hayes !!!!

 

[Freshwater]

3 Bailey’s in the one team!

 

[Norm De Guerre]

...with the added bonus of The Fergus and The Jongenator finally resuming in the seconds this week!

 

[Triple Baileys]

All those changes make sense. Happy with those selections. Dale, Williams and Lipinski deserved to be rewarded for their strong VFL form. Hope Billy hits some form and is back soon.

Triple Baileys must be stoked.

Aye. I've earned a triple Baileys.

 

[Triple Baileys]

3 Bailey’s in the one team!

I regert I have only 1 like to give for my country

very practiced mouth open pose.

 

[BulldogJake]

...with the added bonus of The Fergus and The Jongenator finally resuming in the seconds this week!

Jong played VFL last week and he was useless. Keep him away from the seniors.

 

[weltschmerz]

Westy in the emergencies again, wondering if he's getting close to debut.

 

[dogwatch]

Richards lucky and on notice. Lewis Young stiff.

Let's hope Richards rises to the challenge.

 

[0utsider]

Bont will start at CHF but will push up the ground to effectively become another midfielder I'd expect. Don't expect to see him around too many stoppages but he'll lead up the ground and we'll look to him to take the ball inside 50. Still think we need another tall forward in the long run but I don't mind it here and there.

 

[fronkalicious]

The most sensible team selected all year.

Beveridge has pissed away way too many games through stubborn/ridiculous selections in 2019.

 

[Charlie Bucket]

Some good ins but geez our fwd line looks undersized.
Roberts needed to stay in with Gowers out. Roberts Def, Trengove and English rotate fwd ruck, even though the thought of Trenners fwd makes me feel ill. It’s the only way it would work.

Unless Bevo goes undersized down back and plays the fwd ruck rotation with those two.

Either way I absolutely disagree with some comments on here that it’s the strongest team all year.

Oh well, the ins deserve a gig and I’m sure Bevo backs in whatever the plan is.

 

[Charlie Bucket]

Or, as some have mentioned we could play Bont predominantly fwd which can be done with our mid depth.

Whoever it plays out, if we’re on, we have North covered comfortably.
