Unofficial Preview Changes and pre-match discussion vs Collingwood

[The Nostradamus]

We will have a mismatch up front that we should exploit

Isolate Finnbar deep in the square on Maynard as their third tall

Larkey vs frampton

Darling vs Howe

 

[Disco Dew]

Listen to Winnie and we will smash them

God I love Winnie!
Had the herald sun poster of that 98 mark on my wall for years!

 

[Chadwiko]

Fisher will be sub. Konstanty important for pressure in forward line. Can’t just have forwardline of all marking types.

Paul Curtis is back. He provides a lot of that.

Felt like yesterday

Ehhh nah I reckon that feels like close to 30 years ago tbh hahaha

They're just a bit too good for us at the moment. We can do what we like it won't make any difference. It won't always be the case, but it is now.

You would have said the same thing before the Lions game.

 

[CURVE]

I like the changes, potentially the best team we have put out for sometime, I hope they play to their potential.

I reckon we can win. But if we go close to it, there'll be a squeeze at some point where the players are presented with a choice; go into their shells as a result of Collingwood's pressure and crowd volume, or get a ****ing grasp for once of their own innate power to affect the result, and go on with it.

We're not very good at making that second choice. Some would say we've only done it twice in the last two years. For some reason I reckon we can do it this week. Definitely not saying we will though

 

[discodaddy]

Listen to Winnie and we will smash them

Listening to that put a little lump in my throat. F*ck I miss those winning days…

 

[Gasometer]

As they say in the classics

No Sidebottom

No Filth

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Listen to Winnie and we will smash them

**** me he was a good footballer.

 

[Chip Scab1]

Winston - pound for pound the greatest kick of a football there's ever been.

Reckon his mark against the Same Olds was better than his Mark of the Year against Port. Also think his goal against Collingwood in Rd 22 should have been goal of the year... in saying that his left snap against the Crows in Adelaide that year, was genuinely brilliant.

Absolute gun of the highest order. Highest.

People will call me crazy but I'd have him lengths ahead of Long.

 

[LETSGOKANGAS]

****ing hell they have a lot of small forwards. Someone's getting off the chain. Hopefully Finnbar does too. They have no one who can even go close to stopping him from marking it

Need the midfield to put up their best performance for the year and just pop it high no more than 30 out for the moose.

 

[tazaa]

OUT: Scott Corr (Durrsma)
IN: Curtis Ford (Fisher)

B: Daniel Pink McDonald
HB: Hardeman Comben Ford
C: McKercher LDU Stephens
HF: Sheezel Darling Zurhaar
F: Kostanty Larkey Curtis
R: Xerri Wardlaw Parker
I: Jy Powell Maley Durrsma
S: FOS

Now that Finnbar has gone down media street, he's staying.
Phillips by all reports was solid but drifted in and out of the game on Sunday. Not coming in.

Curtis for Scott is the obvious change. Ford should come in for Corr but knowing Clarko Durrsma will get dropped for Fisher who will be sub.

Corr survives.
Eddie has to wait. Knowing Clarko.

If you forget the 98 gf.

Wellsy best kick in Norths history.

 

[Chip Scab1]

Why? He’s done jack shit since coming back

Maybe I make allowances for him as a Forward coming on when we were parking the bus and had next to no interest in attacking. Perhaps that sort of nuanced summation of events is too much for you.

That's why!

If you forget the 98 gf.

Wellsy best kick in Norths history.

Winston kicked one from 55 that day off a few steps from memory.

 

[ansonholt]

Winston

 

[shinboner magic]

Their defenders take an aggressive position in front - need to break lines with the likes of LDU, George , Stephens , stiffy

We need to be aggressive and take it on

 

[McKuursma]

If you forget the 98 gf.

Wellsy best kick in Norths history.

If we had have seen the full length of Tarryn's career I think he would have surpassed him. Wells did things I didn't think I'd see again in a North jumper but Tarryn had other levels even in the short time he was with us

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Winston

I could watch that goal on repeat for the rest of my life.

 

[Rod Stroker]

Listen to Winnie and we will smash them

"it was the first time I played at a club where you never thought about losing"

Profound. Clearly, we are a different club at the moment. Let's get back to those days.

 

[danj]

My confidence grows as the week passes

My prostrate grows as the pisses weaks

 

[RHLK]

Would there be a dozen blokes in history with the ridiculous skills of Winston Abraham?

Easy for him to say 'make it happen', but losing your cool and flying 3rd or 4th in the contest, or rushing after the same opponent as 1 or 2 of your team-mates, is obviously, after decades of the same sh:t, not it: does he mean step up mentally when team-mates are wilting?

So many leaders in those great North 90's sides, as Winny himself acknowledged in the 'never lose' attitude he encountered.

 

[prodigalson]

Unfortunately the contest Sunday which left brown marks in Baileys jocks will see his papers stamped. Clarko had him subbed off very soon after it.

I used to be Bailey fan with his 2 way running and link up play but he has been exposed this year and hasn’t looked anywhere near it.
