Preview Round 1, 2021: North Melbourne vs Port Adelaide @ Marvel Stadium | Sunday 21 March @ 1:10pm

Really curios to see how the forward line shapes up, there are a lot of players who can rotate through the forward pocket and half forward so it’s going to be interesting to see where players fit and who misses out.

Assuming Larkey plays FF and either Walker or X takes the other key forward position. We have 4 other forward roles plus say 2 bench spots.

There is going to be some seriously hot competition for those spots with all of the following suited to those positions: Zurhaar, Stephenson, Taylor, Garner, Mahony, Thomas, Turner, W.Walker, Bosenavulagi, Spicer, Lazzaro, Ford and to a lesser extent Hall & Scott (both will play midfield).

Not sure Walker plays tbh. I think he might be more depth this year.

I think the backline will 100% be Tarrant, Corr, McKay.

I think it will be Larkey + a resting second ruck and the host of medium forwards.

Be interesting if they keep the roof open this year. hope they do as the Marval Covid safe plan says masks to be worn by all if the roof is shut.

Lucky the players wear numbers, be bloody hard to tell em apart.
Although that might explain the different coloured boots phenomena

I don't really care, as long as we are allowed in.

It’s not going to be pretty but it’s the reality of a rebuilding team, we are going to have ups and downs but I like the direction we are going in. I hope it all pays off

Gonna be ugly.

If the players use the ball well this will be a good game. If not, GG RIP its over.

 

[Silver finger]

Tyson, J.Walker, Mohoney, Polec, Hall, Stefenson are our best player
Port by 90
I'm ready to accept those.

Port by 90 points

It shouldn't be more than 5 goals if they were played correctly, but I fear on what I have seen that you will be correct.

I hope you are right. Port by 30.

 

[Thesharks]

how come Perez didn’t play on the weekend and is he in the best 22?

I hope you are right. Port by 30.

 

[Smoocher]

Anything below a 10 goal defeat would surprise me.

Fu*k Port.

Yeah, they're good. So what?

We'll get em, in a bruising, SUPER close, encounter.

88 v 84

we can try all we want, we don’t have the ability nor the quality to match it with Port.
This isn’t about heart or effort, the reality is we are nowhere near it and Port would have to kick atrociously for us to win.

Would not surprise me if this is a 100+ point thrashing.

Once we turn it over, they will run amok. Can just see them sweating on our inevitable turn over with 3 to 4 Port players waltzing through the middle and into inside 50 for an easy goal.

Calm blue ocean, calm blue ocean.

And when that happens, hopefully we can all go easy on our backmen - it’s hard to look elegant and organised under a blitzkrieg

Are we expecting any of Ben, Jed, Trent, Polec to play ? Virtually no pre-season competitive football.
