Unofficial Preview Changes and pre-match discussion Vs Port Adelaide at Adelaide oval

[DuckYeah]

He got dropped because LMac broke his confidence and he hasn't been the same since!

L Mac has been serviceable this year, logical match up for SPP this week.

I’d need to contact beyond blue if Happy Meal gave me a touch up

 

[Cyber_punk]

Don't care. This is now one of those 'I'll check the scores later' games. Why ruin your own weekend.

 

[justroyal]

Guys, I don’t know why you’re suggesting changes.

It’s in between the 4 walls.
Eliminate everything else.
Faith.

That said.

Hardeman for injured Fisher.

Stop talking about Hawthorn. That run for us just aint happening. We are insipid, we are soft, we have no spine, we are selfish players with bo footy IQ

 

[The Talent Scout]

Oh dear, this will be a bloodbath.

Yeah, on face value, in Adelaide, where we don't win, against Judas, Butters and Rozee it looks like we are in for a world of hurt, had a very good think about it and possibly five changes over here in Adelaide.
IN: Teakle, Harvey, Scott, Phillips, Hardeman.
OUT: Fisher, injured; Konstanty, Tucker, Duursma, O'Sullivan

 

[The Talent Scout]

Out:

Logue, Stephens, Fisher (inj), Konstanty (for shushing the crowd )

In:

Pink, Scott, Archer, Harvey

 

[Roosurgence]

I would like to advocate for a new selection policy: if you do not (a) body line the ball, (b) run hard defensively, (c) tackle and stick tackles, then you do not, without exception, play. I do not care if you can run and kick. If you do not compete, you are axed. That is the standard. Therefore:

Stephens - out (applying my new and novel for modern day North Melbourne standard - he is one of the worst footballers to ever play for the club - delist immediately - no hope of him learning a, b, c above - a cancer on the club. Why they ever let him in the joint is a mystery) [Scott replaces him on wing. Scott can be limited but he will at least try to do a,b,c]

McKercher - out (plays 2nds until he learns a, b and c above. Does not play 1sts until he has demonstrated a, b and c - must be separated from Stephens at all times (training and social functions) so he does not catch aforesaid cancer) [Archer replaces him. Archer does a,b,c. McKercher shall be mentored going forward by Archer]

Fisher - out (has the potential to learn a, b and c and has shown glimpses but a no at the moment) [Teakle replaces him. Xerri needs a chop out. Darling is not the answer. Also, forward line cannot compete in the air. Therefore, Teakle comes in]

Daniel - out (tries to do a, b and c but is physically limited and cannot achieve that standard. That is forgiveable if he delivers elite foot skills on game day, which he has not been (see his unforced errors and turnovers). Plays 2nds until his elite decision making and execution has returned)[Hardeman replaces him. This is your chance, son. Show a,b,c and you stay in the team]

It is not rocket science why we are uncompetitive. We carry between 4-6 players on any give game day who do not comply with a,b,c above. The above 4 are the worst offenders.

Football is a basic game. It requires all players without exception to do a,b,c well. If that happens, the rest will follow in time. Without a,b,c from every player on the ground the group cannot develop and improve.

Playing group - be on notice. The new standard will be enforced. Clarko has been given the memo and will no longer play players that do not compete.

Or am I dreaming.

Can we also throw out this coralimg crap. Run hard, close the distance and pressure.

This coraling tactic is garbage.

Sitting off a player and allowing them time to think is ****ing idiotic.

 

[koshari]

Drop Zurhaar
Drop Comben
Drop Logue
Drop Powell
Drop Tucker
Drop Stephens
Fisher injured

That’s a statement. There has to be a statement.

I would bring in Pink, Archer, Phillips, Ford, Teakle, Maley and Harvey as sub

B: Pink Archer McDonald
HB: Sheezel Corr Daniel
C: McKercher LDU FOS
HF: Parker Maley Ford
F: Curtis Larkey Konstanty
R: Xerri Wardlaw Phillips
I: Simpkin Duursma Darling Teakle
S: Harvey

Sadly the only statement will be us not making an actual statement.

We aren't anything like Hawthorn who actually work hard defensively and don't panic and turn the ball over.

I love that one where one player will free up there man to apply pressure and whoop, hand ball over to the spare and they’re off to the races

 

[TheKanga]

Our defence looks out of sync when Logue is there

Looked better in the early rounds with Pink

Also Comben fwd he can't play one on one at all.

You either close the space to try and force an error with that handball or sit on the receiver.

Our blokes stand in the middle like a stale bottle of piss. ****ing coraling more like imitating a witches hat.

Logues a wage thief.

Collecting his cash and doesn’t give a **** about performance.

 

[zoomba23]

It won’t matter who we bring in guys

I think the cue has been put in the rack already with all the players and you can see they don’t believe

Once that’s gone, it’s done. Mark my words it won’t improve under this management. We will continue to be lied too.

This happened last year in R23. The fact that it's happened this year by R6 is mad. Where do we go from here? Is it a steady limbo into the annals of 100-point loss hell?

 

[koshari]

Rozee couldnt get a kick in a stampede first few weeks but he is cherry ripe now coming into our game

All you can do is drop the primma donnas and play grafters.

 

[treegreen]

Port Adelaide's list is abysmal.

Anything less than a win here should result in a total clean out of the staff.

Bro we are not going ****ing CLOSE to winning this. Port have JHF, Rozee, Butters, Aliir, Rioli, Georgiades, Farrell. That'd just about be enough on its own against our lot

 

[BigRedRoo]

Deck chairs on the titanic.

its not the personal its the structures that are lacking.

Watch the Sunday footy show and the review of how Collingwood defend, drilled, disciplined, consistent.
North are a rabble in comparison.

Watch the collingwood games and see role players work off the ball.

 

[Frank Thring]

I watched Swans v Port today and the way they set up for contests around the ball is in complete contrast to us. For example when the ball is in dispute, Port would have either Butters, JHF, Boak in the guts of the contest with players like Burgoyne, Farell, Rozee, Mead and Drew holding their shape outside the contest waiting for the spillage or handball receive. If the contest moved 5 metres, they would all move with the contest and remain in shape. Our contest structure is a dog breakfast. How is this not hard to teach?

We have LDU, Sheezel, Wardlaw, Colby, Parker, Powell all trying to win the ball and then when they do, there is no one distant enough from the contest to steady and deliver. Our set up is a farce and that is Leigh Adams

responsibility. He can nick off if he can't work that out.

 

[DocSholl]

Weirdly I can see us being inexplicably competitive in this one.

 

[footy2016]

Port were absolutely out on there feet to end that game. Now have to travel back to Adelaide and have a 6 day break.

If we cannot start well next week and bring the pressure then we should just close the joint up and pack it in.

Should be a non negotiable to bring pressure every week, however next week even more so.
