Preview R3: Changes vs. North Melbourne

[DJ75]

Murray out for 2-3 weeks, jarred knee

I'd bring Nankervis in. We don't need to add a Butts into the side. Between Keane and Worrell we can cover the bigs. Hinge can take the next biggest.

And Milera who was drafted 2015

He had Milera in his post.

 

[Magma]

borlase is now in the side on the afl site, t murray dropping out.

can we bring Butts in now? strange turn of events considering knee hurt at training yesterday but he was still named in the extended team and there is no Butts as an emergency

Tough call.

The best two players we have in the two's ready to go are Butts and Nank.

Of all the injuries to our squad - we are probably best placed to have one of Keane/Murray go down.

Borlase? That's an odd decision if true.

wonder why Butts isnt in to play on Larkey...

 

[PeterSalt]

N Murray sidelined - knee

 

[Scorpus]

Really don't see how Borlase can be higher in the pecking order than Butts

 

[crows dude]

Just saw. Really shit timing.
Gold Coast and Cats games just got a little bit harder.

I know Butts wasnt in the initial squad but surely he jumps into it now and replaces Murray

My thoughts exactly, but I don't follow the ressies.

Has he really overtaken him?

 

[Geoffa32]

Surely Butts for Murray??


Peatling the sub IMO

Let Draper start.

Borlase is ahead of him - speaks volumes.

 

[Geoffa32]

North have genuine kpf.

Interesting game with Murray out.

 

[Mutineer]

Borlase is ahead of him - speaks volumes.

Please explain, seems a really dumb selection if both Butts and Borlase are fit.

Butts is way better qualified at AFL level 75 games vs Borlase 14, 198cm vs 192cm.

And Larkeys height a factor.

Well if I'm Jordan Butts I'd be onto my manager because I'm sure several other AFL clubs will have big interest and we are already aware there has been zero interest in Borlase whenever he's been out of contract or delisted even if we had told him we were going to re-rookie him. Strange move IMO if Butts is fit to play.

Has had his injury troubles over pre season but its certainly a strange one.

Yep looks like he's done at the Crows

 

[Drakescoffeecake]

Borlase? What the

Looks like club is sticking with the selected emergencies.

 

[Cromulant]

If he's fit, has had foot issues pre season.

I wonder if we think he hasnt quite got the work into him.
