Unofficial Preview Changes and pre-match discussion vs St Kilda

[Hearts to hearts]

With losses like last week, you typically 'back them in' or 'make a statement'.

We've taken option A too many times over the last couple of years.

Radio silence from the club this week. Disappointing. Particularly with a downward trend line the last month, and that cherry served up on Saturday night.

I believe it's time for a statement. If it's 2/3 changes with regulars resuming their positions, and none of the untouchables going out, I'll be p1ssed off.

Any communication from the club would be met with “that’s just words, means nothing”, and fair enough. The only communication we will see that matters is selection and game day performance.

First time in years I’m genuinely interested in this weeks team selection. There is a chance (all be it small) that Caleb Daniel

ITS HAPPENING!!

 

[BlueanWhiteKanga]

I reckon all we will see is Larkey, Harvey and Wardlaw in.

The outs I reckong will be Maley, Duursma and RHJ.

I'd like to see other changes, but I can't see it happening.

If they drop Duursma over Daniel then we should shut the joint down

I don't disagree with you there at all.

I'd rather they drop Daniel, but I just can't see it happening. Daniel has been protected from the magoos all season long, and Duursma can't seem to be given a run of games.

Daniel Wont be dropped unfortunately

Agreed, ideally should be 5 or 6 changes but it will be the 3 you mentioned and the usual suspects that get shuffled back to the twos. Daniel and Logue should both be dropped based on form but it ain’t gonna happen

 

[Waynesworld]

We'll beat St Kilda this week.

I have a feeling in my gut*

Bookmark it.

They can't drop Daniel after he got flamed by the media. It'd look like we were capitulating to outside pressure. And as we know, "we only care about what's said inside the four walls".

I was hoping the media wouldn’t put the spotlight on Caleb for that exact reason, and what happens… David king opens his ****ing trap.

I’m still holding out hope. That short stint of Caleb’s out of the backline could indicate that they realise he is not working. I don’t even want to contemplate that they actually moved him into the midfield to fix that problem. Burn the place down if that was the case.

 

[XU1-ROO]

No mention of Ford in North’s 21 in the mix. What he do wrong

It was his first game back from injury after an interrupted season and pre season. They probably want him to play at least one more game.

 

[Twinkletoes]

If he’s staying in I’d rather see him redeployed forward and if that doesn’t work subbed out.

 

[zoomba23]

If my Grandma had wheels, etc. etc.

Competing for three quarters is just about meaningless, because AFL games don't go for three quarters. If they did go for three quarters, the quarters would be called thirds

You'd hope someone in the footy department is steeling themselves to offer the revolutionary idea that maybe everything isn't as amazingly brilliant within the four walls as some are claiming.

Melbourne needed an intervention. We're worse than they were. 200x worse when you consider the difference in player quality

Is Xerri playing?

Just maybe they are preemptively preparing for the game to be shortened… North playing 4D chess? All makes sense now

 

[FootySmartSimpson]

The Saints’ setup always exposes our Achilles Heal. We are terrible on the spread. They are fast, run all day, are well drilled and launch very well from half back.

The only way we can beat them is if we bring pressure all game and convert our easy chances. Two things we have rarely been able to put together this year.

North by 28.

 

[DuckYeah]

launch very well from half back.

Doomed. We shit can the aints but they will torch us through the middle third of the ground

 

[goalieboy82]

and lets give my friend Chloe's son a nice 9th birthday gift with a win (he turns 9 on Saturday)

 

[Waynesworld]

Is Xerri playing?

Nope, but we have the Treakle man to guide us

And before anyone else says to bring Goad in, based on what I have seen of recent VFL games, he is not close to being smashed at AFL level yet
