Preview Changes v Sydney, Sat 735pm at Marvel

[Twinkletoes]

is that the RHJ role?

Doubt he could handle the big reptile. It may be a multi player plan to quell his run.

I like surly Clarko.

 

[HBFlanker]

In: Logue, Whitlock
Out: Pink, Tucker

Archer in for RHJ or Stephens next week.

B: Logue Corr Daniel
HB: Sheezel Comben Mcdonald
C: Mckercher LDU Scott
HF: Zurhaar Darling Parker
F: Konstanty Larkey Zurhaar
FO: Xerri Powell Simpkin
INT: Stephens Whitlock FOS Phillips
Sub: RHJ

Sheezel to half back and just let him do his own thing. Just put the ball in his hands as much as possible. We have the midfield depth to be able to park him there. Give FOS 5 mins in the middle if need be.

Whitlock to play forward or back, if we need to put Darling or Chom into the ruck for 5 minute bursts, should anything happen to X in game (Please no).

In saying that, Teakle in if X doesnt get up. Id back Teakle in against Grundy.

I would consider tagging Warner with Simpkin. We know we are a midfielder heavy so sacrificing one to negate the best player on either team gives us an advantage. Simpkin the only one I trust and the only one quick enough to potentially do the role.

Mcdonald - Hayward
Comben - Amartey
Logue - Mclean
Corr - Heeney

Presume Mcdonald wont play and i assume up our end they will go Mccartin to Larkey, Rampe to Darling and potentially Hamling to Zurhaar. I think our forward line will cause them issues, especially Curtis.

In the middle, James Jordon will go to LDU. Dont rule him out going to Powell though, as LDU is way too quick for him. Jordan has smashed Serong and Neale so far this year in tagging roles, so he like the inside bulls, Powell might be in the gun this week, which for us is probably okay.

North by 16 points.

Sounds like nothing to worry about with Xerri. Grundy's looking absolutely cooked, so we'll have a big advantage there.

Does Whitlock get selected over Logue? l dont think so but we do need a back up ruck if Xerri either doesn't play or is injured during the game. Can we afford to bring in another tall player and if so who do we select? Darling needs to remain as a forward option to help out Larkey.

So our options are:

Whitlock > still seems to light to compete against Grundy in the ruck but playing well enough to play back
Maley > Would be nice to see him play and can ruck if needed
Teakle > Has shown he can play ruck but not doing enough to warrant a call up or
Goad > still to inexperienced.

l think we need 3 tall this week.

 

[roos_fanatic08]

If there is any week where we should try the three talls to get an advantage forward of centre it's this week.

Melican is out of form, McCartin struggles with the 198cm+ talls and Rampe isn't the same player he was 12-18 months ago.

I think speed on the ball is more important than an extra tall - swans love a slow lumbering forward line.

We might as well lay a red carpet down forward with a sign “exit this way”.

Not only that but to give xerri more of a rest during the game

I’m assuming if Whitlock were playing, we’d have heard by now.

[Chadwiko]

Surprised by the Whitlock inclusion, if the report is accurate.

Not sure how he fits in to this squad, unless someone like Comben is going to be an unexpected 'out'.

Or, maybe Pink is out, and Logue is coming back via the VFL?

Confusing tbh.

 

[the big lebowski]

I wonder if, given FOS’s absence at training today, he’s replacing him?

 

[Caracas]

I should have waited 5 more minutes. Really happy with this. Obviously, we have a good one here. Validates our draft pick. Let’s hope he can step up.

FOS didn’t train today, unsure if injury or illness? Likely Whitlock in for FOS, been playing half back in VFL rather then key defence.

Logue will be in for Pink.

I don't think so.

We are going taller and Whitlock can play at both ends.

Logue and Whitlock should be the inclusions i would have thought.

 

[Reginald0]

We have been getting thrashed for years because we just do not have enough skill under pressure
All over the ground this applies
So yeah go for it with Whitlock

 

[Passmore]

And he’s easily the most mobile of the talls who could come in. Moves like a 197cm flanker.

 

[Sphynx]

"Alright lad, you are OK to chop out Teaks in the ruck for 15 minutes a quarter? Good lad"

 

[Moti]

2/3 games our forward line has been beaten in the air. This makes sense,

 

[shinboner magic]

Matlock time - go well son

 

[kool kangas]

l'll wait for NMFC to release the video before l believe it..

 

[LETSGOKANGAS]

Keen to see final changes. I’m nervous, excited, disappointed and hungry cant wait for Saturday.

 

[Caracas]

It’s on the AFL app too. Why have North not announced it yet?

 

[giantroo]

 

[Better Loosen Up]

Thinking it will just be the following:

OUT: Pink
IN: Whitlock
