Preview Changes vs Richmond, Sun May 18 1:10PM MCG - Members replacement game

[BlueanWhiteKanga]

Scott out Payne or W Dawson as sub

 

[ferball]

I dunno man, they’ve got form

Maybe ... recently the coaches have form for dropping players out of form.

 

[Makeshift Park]

I know we're innovators in the space, but when was the last time a player got suspended for accidentally bumping their own head against another player's?

 

[The Nostradamus]

Ford is a good sub option for those suggesting him as he can impact and play anywhere

Fisher the same and is in better form

 

[Chadwiko]

Out: scott
In: fisher or wilphil

So you don't want Pink dropped?

Hey, Nostra...

 

[The Nostradamus]

So you don't want Pink dropped?

Hey, Nostra...

No I still want him out for Logue

But we won’t make that many changes

 

[Chip Scab1]

You just know they are going to rub McDonald out

And? We throw a massive party.

Please rub him out and then perhaps, I'll rub one out in celebration.

He's played his one half decent game for the year. That was it.

 

[DesertRoo]

I'd bring in Coops, as he knows how to kick between the big sticks.

 

[DuckYeah]

. > sub options than Baily
1. Witches hat
2. Coop, Fordy, Payne, Fisher

 

[shintemaster]

No change. That team out there deserves another crack. Maybe WiPhi in for Scott. That's it. WiPhi might make a decent sub if they won't start him.

I suspect Finnbar might have a rest once PC comes back.

Agree. Also didn't rate Scott's impact and would make a change there. It's hard to come on and do a lot in a quarter or so - but other players have to deliver or get dropped so he should be doing so as well.

 

[davefromjerra]

Ford in for Duursma. While Eddie has only been average in the VFL he does know how to nail a set shot.

 

[Danni_Benson]

I never quite know how these replacement games work! Am I too late to get tickets? Or can I just attend with my membership?

 

[Frank Thring]

Keep playing Duursma. I would drop Scott for Phillips.

NORTH'S BIG PUNT​

NORTH Melbourne's punt on itself faces its biggest test this weekend.


The Roos' draft night trade last year in exchanging their 2025 first-round pick for No.27 (Matt Whitlock) and Richmond's second-round pick (currently No.21) was the biggest move of the draft. Currently North's pick, which belongs to Richmond, is No.2.

Whitlock has debuted, is showing promising signs and North's strategy was sound in adding a second first-round pick last year to their big tally of early recent picks. But currently the Roos are in second-last position and a game-and-a-half behind the Tigers, who clinched their third win of the year with Tom Brown's last-ditch tackle against the Eagles on Sunday.

This Sunday sees the Roos and Tigers face off at the MCG. There are big ladder and end-of-season implications riding on it.

The Tigers are already nearly out of wooden spoon territory, 12 points ahead of the winless West Coast, and North Melbourne can all but do the same if it can take the win over Richmond by moving to 10 points and forcing the Eagles to win at least three games in the back half of the year.

North had its chances to land one of the upsets of the season over last year's premier and managed to reduce Brisbane's weapons in Sunday's draw. Tristan Xerri

, Charlie Comben (21 disposals, nine marks) was unpassable in defence and George Wardlaw (third highest ranked midfielder in the game) is back to his impactful best. Alastair Clarkson will need them at that level again against a high-energy Tigers line-up.

 

[BlueandWhiteinmyBlood]

Give Maley a chance on the G - Hobart isn’t a great place for a young KPF finding his way.

 

[jaxsyn]

Massive game for us.
Slight danger we get ahead of ourselves after a few close games and decide not to show up and get a wake up call

Out - Daniel, Scott
In- Fisher, Someone who will add something as sub

 

[KangaRooster]

I never quite know how these replacement games work! Am I too late to get tickets? Or can I just attend with my membership?

It's looking that way, I'm getting "Entitlements Exhausted" after entering our barcodes

You should be able to simply scan the membership card in.. unless you want a seat, then go through the nth app?

Cheers mate, I think that's for the general admin entry, I'm annoyed at myself for not getting in early enough on a reserved seat with the members

 

[Chadwiko]

That means you've already got tickets for those barcodes - check your NMFC app.

Not true. I logged in to Tickettek last night and got myself 2 level 1 seats using my membership barcodes;

You're right, I've got my tickets early and totally forgotten about it. Bloody replacement games.

 

[HongKongRoo]

No I still want him out for Logue

But we won’t make that many changes

Did you watch the reserves game? Logue took some good marks but his decision making and disposal was atrocious.

I did
Looked good in the air

And had more urgency

 

[HongKongRoo]

Ford in for Duursma. While Eddie has only been average in the VFL he does know how to nail a set shot.

Eddie's had some injury issues so hasn't had much continuity this year. If he is right I would definitely look at bringing him in, at least as the sub. He can do the unexpected and can impact the scoreboard.
