Strategy Changes Round 14 North Melbourne vs. Fremantle

[Wray27]

Not sure how Banfield keeps his place over Dudley, Dudley played his way in over a number of weeks while Banfield played his way out. But apparently Banners 13 touches, 0.0 and 0 tackles in the wet was enough to hold out Duds during his non footy related week out. Hmmm

Banfield is playing as a back. Played his role last week.
Would mean Wagner going back.

Probably has something to do with one of them playing half back and the other forward pocket.

Love these types of comments.. lol it's like you watched the game and yet have no idea what position they've been playing

Darcy didn't have much impact either, duds should come in and play ruck

I thought he only went back when Worner went out.

Banfield flexibility is a bonus

Was Copper Simpson when he did his shoulder V Port.
No one really to replace him as depth.

Maybe Walker in 2 weeks when he’s back.

 

[stax on the mull]

O'Meara isn't named at Peel either (at least not in the first line-up for Thursday night). There's bound to be some changes before Saturday with the AFL emergencies.

Players will be held out due to the 5 day break.

Banfield is a half forward who has been shuffled around recently to accomodate in-game injuries. Happy?

Did you check the ressies?

 

[stax on the mull]

Did you check the ressies?

They're playing WC who don't have a reserves team. In any case there's 11 at Peel if I counted it right, so they can't play too many more if anyone does come back.

Scratch that Peel Reserves not playing!

He has kept his place in the team this week as JL and selection committee thinks he has done a decent job and played his role in defense, which started covering the injury to coops in game and then continued into the suns game. whether it continues remains to been seen, but we are talking about this week.

You compared his performance and stats where he was playing defense as a reason he should of been replaced by duds who plays fwd.. understand?

I personally think Banfield played his way in after his performance against Gold Coast. Or conversely, didn't play his way out.

Also, if Fyfe is sub, at least Banfield can be moved forward, back, wing or otherwise to maintain team balance if we lose a player early to injury and Fyfe has to come on earlier than expected.

Selection is not always linear. A bit like how we replaced a small forward and half back (Duds and Simpson) with a midfielder and a ruck (Fyfe and Darcy) for Gold Coast. You try and get your best players in and shuffle positions to suit. It’s hardly revolutionary.

Hmmmm...guess you're right...Screw the team balance! Duds in Darcy out

Duds in, Banfield out

With Fyfe & Darcy on very limited minutes due to lack of conditioning, you then want to bring in Dudley who has had half a preseason and has only averaged 60% TOG in the games he's played. It's illogical.

 

[yakamoto]

Need Banfield as specialist defender. Specialises in giving away 50m penalties in last Q. Keeps we supporters from getting complacent in the closing minutes of close games.

 

[Spirit Level]

Whenever Banfield is spoken about in a changes thread:

Like ****en clockwork

 

[Quay Club]

We should be alright, Margetts retired a few years ago.

Yes but we have old mate Dalgliesh to contend with.

 

[freoextra]

I would like to see Duds play but Guess we are rewarding the team that had the best win of the year.

 

[freo_leo29]

Duds in, Banfield out

who goes back then?

Wagner? I've liked him in the middle tbh

Banners will be back out when Walker is ready

Although I hope they've trained him to spoil to the boundary line, not back into the corridor, lucky GC didn't punish us last game

 

[Tundrawolf]

Whenever Banfield is spoken about in a changes thread:

Iconic duos:
Torvill and Dean
Lillee and Marsh
Frodo and Sam
Banfield and Footskill

Who would he replace on form? Switta has had some big games and Freddy plays a different position. He isn't taking Bolton's place and that leaves Bruce. Who has been better than Dudley this year. Dudley will get another opportunity and I look forward to seeing what he can do next season and 8kg lighter.
