Preview Changes v Melbourne Demons, Sunday 3:20pm Marvel Stadium

[Disco Dew]

Don’t understand why you’d drop Phillips? He was actually very good vs Oliver last year in that game @ the G

Saying stuff like this is like saying Beetlejuice three times. Yet instead of getting Michael Keaton showing up in one of his greatest roles you get that guy from the wilphil thread.

What happened to Hardeman?

Surely he plays ahead of Bergman

Teakle or Finnbar as the second ruck third tall pls and thanks

 

[SpiderBurton22]

PINK!!!!

Bay 29 will be ecstatic.

 

[Disco Dew]

What happened to Hardeman?

This.
**** sakes

 

[Chadwiko]

Based on training today, where all of Teakle/Bergman/Stephens were absolute non-factors, I highly doubt any of them are likely to get the call up.

Pink seems likely to come in, as the only tall defender.

Maley is an interesting one. He played well today but I don't feel like we need another tall forward.

We 100% need another forward/second ruck

Time to revert back to the structure we had in the second half of last year

Could also easily just have chom and Corr as the key defenders this week

Jack Darling still exists mate...

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Hardeman play lawn bowls? There is no way Bergman is a better option than him.

Also K.Dawson had more tools to be a capable defender than Pink.

Jack Darling still exists mate...

Third tall mate….

The structure we had second half of last year
Instead of playing one tall short now

Gawn would send poor Finnbar to the shadow realm, tough debut.

Would be rucking against their second ruck more

In other news, we can renew acquaintances with old mate, whistleblower # 13 Nicholas Brown, who is not even competent at AFLW level

North Melbourne vs Melbourne


Scores from stoppage


North Melbourne allowed the Bulldogs to transfer the football too easily from stoppages in their Round 1 loss, highlighting their weak defensive stocks that have been a concern since the off-season.


Allowing 54 points from stoppage, North Melbourne conceded the second-most points from that aspect of the game out of all clubs in Round 1.


It wasn't from being whacked in the clearance count either, with the Roos recording six more than the Bulldogs in the match. However, when the Bulldogs did win the clearance, North Melbourne were put to the sword.


Now, the Kangaroos come up against Melbourne, who boast a midfield of Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver, Jack Viney and Max Gawn. The Demons scored 45 of their 74 points from stoppage against the Giants, the second-highest contribution in the AFL when compared to scores from turnover and kick-ins.


If North Melbourne are to stop a scoring onslaught reminiscent of the Demons' 2021 grand final blitz, they'll have to work to prevent easy transitions out of stoppages on Sunday.

 

[ChopChopDigDig]

Actually shocked Hardeman isn’t in

 

[Hatchy1992]

Did Hardeman take one of the coaches parking spots this morning?

 

[davefromjerra]

Not surprised to see Bergman in. There have been signs all pre season that the selectors have preferred him to Hardeman. He was used to kick in during drills, played for the blues in the intra club and was the sub in the Bunbury game.

Surely Zoo was the 3rd tall second half of last year. (larkey/teakle/zoo)
Now its (Larkey/Darling/zoo)
Yes Teakle a better ruck, but Darling better at everything else.

 

[Horizons_00]

No Dawson or Ford?!

 

[Horizons_00]

Zane & Ford come in ? On what merit?

Just some spark

Zane will obviously come through the VFL lol

 

[Ball Dont Lie]

Usual people will defend the selection but I got to say not one of Hardamen, W.Dawson, of Matlock is worrying. 3 first round picks you would think at least 2 of them could have got a game.
