Preview Changes vs Gold Coast, Sat 12 April, Barossa (Gather Round) - SWING THE AXE

“Don’t watch the footy you dickhead”

That's sound advice but as you may be aware, like many of us I have a physical addiction to the North Melbourne Football Club that I don't think any medication or therapy has a hope of curing. I don't have any choice but to watch on TV and go to games.

 

[My Left Foote]

He looks massively on the outer at the club. I'm guessing Patch Adams doesn't rate him at all

Not sure how you’ve come to this conclusion he was selected for the first two games on merit.

 

[Elite Master]

Duursma or Tucker sub I reckon.

Stupid as stupid gets to make Tucker sub again. About as useless a sub you can get. Stop saying crap like this.

 

[CharlieMortdecai]

Coaches votes are a wee bit of a furphy at VFL level. They gave Lowe a 10. I don't think anyone who watched the game would rate him as the BOG. Same with how highly they rated Kal.

I'm not saying it's irrelevant. But not really an indicator I pay a huge amount of attention to.

I quite honestly thought Lowe was BOG watching the last 2.5 quarters. K Dawson had a good game too.

 

[CharlieMortdecai]

Looking forward to the battle between CHB Caleb Daniel and CHF Touk Miller

 

[danj]

My wife says I never pay attention.. or something like that, I’m not usually listening

I usually say to her yes thanks I’ll have another beer

 

[danj]

Pretty sure this is the first time I’ve predicted we’re going to lose and I think 10 goals will be the minimum margin


Must admit that was kind of cathartic I feel lighter without my delusional expectations weighing me down

 

[DuckYeah]

Yeah they play netball in the vfl

Diamond Valley is probably the second best league perhaps thats why Finbar shows so much?

The first time since when? Two weeks ago?

 

[DuckYeah]

She would rather north **** off and stop ruining our weekends.

Mrs Duck and Mrs Dew could be best friends… Norf have massively impacted my daily life.

Go back to 2013.. I was the most happy poster going round…

 

[Makeshift Park]

There does seem to be a lot of defenders selected.

I assume Fish plays the RHJ role, maybe a bit of wing.

But then you still have Chom, Corr, Logue, Daniel, lmac, Tucker, FOS, Hardeman.

So one of Tucker or Hardeman would logically be the sub I guess.

“Sorry Horse, can I get a quick photo? I’m a Roos supporter.”

“Oh yeah?! Great.”

That spurs kit

 

[tazaa]

Say what you want about McDonald, Tucker, Stephens and Fisher - sure Wardlaw and Archer will come back next week.
But after that it drops away considerably. These guys will get picked cause there is no one else demanding a game.

The list still needs work and expectations need to be tempered.
6-8 wins. Finish 13th or higher. Percentage around the high 80s.

Please don't get belted Saturday boys.

 

[DuckYeah]

Now Chaddy, I know you like to fly the flag for your boy Wifi, but he was a fair way off BOG in the VFL - he did his job (and so he should). Wardlaw got more coaches votes in 3 quarters

If I gave votes out Duurs was in em.. he’s not a midfielder and was judged as a mid by chadwiko and then posted a video suggesting he didn’t chase down a tackle, then get up, win first possession, hand it out, then receive it and kick a goal.

Chadwiko is cooked.

Duursma is a genuine goal scoring half forward.. in the passage of play posted by him, he literally did more than peak Brust/Gunston

 

[north_lad]

North have broken me to the point where I'm actually happy for Nostra

Some serious metal on your hands there, who needs brass knuckles!

 

[Passmore]

I agree, but I hope he grabs the opportunity. Must be meeting some criteria that we aren’t aware of, hair ruffles and bum taps etc…

Sometimes you just back in pure talent with the belief it will rise to the level.

It would be unusual for a player named in the 18 to be sub.

 

[FootySmartSimpson]

Duursma the extra tall forward it seems.

Otherwise, don't mind the changes, the Scott dropping is an important message.

If Powell has another shit game, I hope the selection committee is consistent next week…

The team is so much more dynamic when TP is up and about, and putrid when he is having a shocker.

 

[Skarrz]

would think a fair few players are on thin ice this week

Zurhaar, Tucker, Daniel, McKercher all need to pull their fingers out

I love Tommy P but yeah. Brought nothing on Sat

 

[Deliverance]

X rumour Xerri didn’t get on the plane?

100k SC coaches wept. Any substance to the rumours in the end?

 

[Ligma]

I’m going to be too busy on a holiday to watch us lose by 101&3828294948484959959594930 points

 

[koshari]

its his moment in the sun atm, the day when finally neither pink or scott are selected,

No he 100% is in adelaide
