Unofficial Preview Changes and pre match discussion vs Richmond

[Chip Scab1]

We've got umpire 31 P Rebeshini. The man must have been traumatised by a kangaroo as a child, expect the worst on Sunday.

Rubbish Binny?

Heard he was left out last night.

Don't often agree with you but you're spot on with this. Shameful really. I've moved from Clarko In, to Clarko Neutral.

I get what they're trying to do, but why **** with his development like this and let absolute cats like Bailey continue to run around, and maybe strike form against the worst team there is.

Shambolic.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Duursma will absolutely be a busted pick.

 

[scottywiper]

Duursma will absolutely be a busted pick.

Ah well, what's one more between friends?

 

[zoomba23]

Duursma will absolutely be a busted pick.

I reckon he'll come good.

But I'm not certain it'll be as a North player

 

[Devil Fish]

This is it hey? Do we finish bottom 2 for six consecutive years or do we "climb" to 16th so people can say "we've definitely improved"????

Richmond were forecast to be winless this year whereas we were seen to be on the improve with hopefully 7-8 wins.....

It's been an interesting 22 weeks.

The bookies had the Wins market for NM at 5.5 before the season started. They know their shlt.

 

[Chadwiko]

Duursma will absolutely be a busted pick.

If he's played his last AFL game for this year (which seems plausible), then after his second year in the AFL this is where he currently sits;

23 games played
Average 7.2 disposals, 0.6 tackles, 0.6 goals a game

Yep. Another coach that shows faith/trust in him and instills confidence in him by backing him in to play through his inconsistency week to week will get the best out of him.

 

[Ardent Roo]

Duursma will absolutely be a busted pick.

It happens to all clubs and I guess this is one for us. Paddy Dow above LDU for example.

Fixed it for you.

 

[King Hansen]

Duursma will absolutely be a busted pick.

I'm happy to give it a bit longer than 21months to make a call. Hell, WP has gotten almost 5 years.

 

[Chip Scab1]

He did take a ripper grab

He did take a ripper grab

So did Mason Wood against the Gold Coast Suns in 2018

Yeah but that was everyone else's fault.

Here are Nate's and Dan's career stats fwiw. Nate played mostly as a forward in comparison.
Not saying Zane's been great, but the career stats aren't poles apart.

Nate Caddy. 27 games. 10.9 disposals. 4 marks (69). 1.1 goals (29). 1.1 tackles (31).
Zane Duursma. 23 games. 7.2 disposals. 3 marks (107). 0.6 goals (13). 0.6 tackles (14)
Dan Curtin. 28 games. 12.1 diposals. 4 marks (111). 0.46 goals (13). 2.8 tackles (79).

Oh gawd he come the bigfooty nuffy nuffs again

 

[ChopChopDigDig]

Disappointed in BGZ

 

[rickety]

B. Rawlings come trade week ...

 

[Rod Stroker]

Duursma hey .... something afoot?

you mean apart from doing **** all on field?

 

[Rod Stroker]

Duursma will absolutely be a busted pick.

Well that's Philiips, but hopefully we have more time with Zane

 

[rickety]

you mean apart from doing **** all on field?

Who knows ... we've plenty like that over the last eon. Might be he'll be dangled as a lure ...

 

[shinboner magic]

I wish I cared enough to post stats to back my view point

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Yeah, but Phillips was cooked 18 months ago.
