News 2024 Preseason Matches & Training Reports

Don't think things will change much for Sicily.
They'll pick another tall (come on down Frosty ) and he'll fill the same role.
Contrary to common belief, Sicily doesn't exactly play loose and free. He's accountable for a man all the time. Takes on a fair bit of responsibility. Scores as well as he does due to contested marks and taking kick-ins not because he's a +1. At least not too often anyhow

Sicily takes the 3rd tall if there is one which is what makes it easier for him to roll off his man. Generally both Blanck and Frost are playing (yes both missed some games last year). When he is forced to take the 2nd tall is when his scores can suffer.
who is next in line after Frost is the question. DGB??

its now about getting him cheaper through the season as its quite likely he will still be a top 6 defender.

It’s not even North that Wardlaw was dominating against, it was the B midfield.

Pretty sure my nan would do alright against them.

Our midfield has reasonable depth.
Our defence is what's shocking.
At one stage yesterday our firsts team defence had 7 AFL games experience......
Our VFL team scored 88 points against us.

Do you share these thoughts on the North board?

Lol
Its been mentioned in our preseason chat yes.
But not by me. The 7 games stuff came from the Leigh Adams presser.

 

[Makeshift Park]

it was the B midfield

Seriously tho, it was versus Phillips and Shiels.

Absolutely happy to acknowledge our tall defender stocks are embarrassing, but the warlord is the real deal.

 

[buttox]

Unless nan is a first round pick I'm not interested.
2nd round and onwards are poverty picks.

 

[Shueygod]

Neither of which are AFL standard midfielders, Eagles the only team they would have a chance at cracking.

Don’t doubt the warlord looked good, he’s a gun. Personally I am not buying into him being a valid SC pick this year.

Scoops will hear no Warlord slander.
Kid is an absolute goer, harder than a cat's head.
Any news on Chom and Pink? You thinking of starting either?

 

[MrChristo]

Will nan crush value?

 

[Maybe Tomorrow]

No chance - FADE.

 

[Makeshift Park]

Will nan crush value?

I’m starting to feel like fading Nan.

My nan would burst away from Shiels.

 

[gutsroy]

Where does crush value come from?
Scoops not in touch with SC youth culture
Scoops has to replace the onion belt, by the looks.
Shame, it was the style at the time.

Some of the cool kids on twitter use the term. Think it's been used with irony here.

Aah, that 'crushing value'. Thought it might be.
Scoops invented crushing value, along with the piano necktie, down at the Gaso one night.
Traded in

I was all aboard the Chom-Chom express until buttox convinced me otherwise.

I think between Laz and Wardlaw I might have my quota of North pods.

(To say nothing of LDU and Sheezel)

The talk around Sicily's scoring regressing this year ....was premised around him not being able to average 10 marks a game .....Blanck's injury just enhanced that thinking

Other tidbits from the thread

• Flanders mainly mid, a bit forward
• Humpa good but not outstanding
• Touk played well, mainly inside, no wing
• Rogers didn't play. Read good in defence for B team
