Unofficial Preview Changes and pre-match discussion vs St Kilda

[chubbspeterson]

After a 101pt debacle and our fifth consecutive loss (avg 10 goals), that preliminary selection demonstrates a staggering lack of accountability.

It's a stain on our club atm.

That's why I think Powell and Konstanty get omitted, but I guess we'll find out.

 

[backtothedraft]

I think most people are just upset that Logue and Daniel haven't been dropped.

I totally forgot Daniel! Would have loved for us to make a statement and dropped Daniel but he’ll likely be carried through the season.

After the game last week I was all for dropping Logue. On reflection feel a good game from Logue puts us in a better position to win than Dawson who’s still finding his way.

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Laughable that the only player dropped was Maley.

Straight from the Brad Scott of backing players in despite getting belted.

This club has the backbone of a jellyfish.

I guess in time we will……
We just want some accountability…..
Look l know lve banged on about one Mr C Bellamy ….but here’s a skill error from tonight’s game….and you can bet your bottom dollar their would be follow up behind closed doors and at training……and selection ….if needed .
We just don’t see it happening at north and that’s the frustrating thing that l can’t understand

Defensive pressure was talked in his presser. Could be on the money

 

[koshari]

Makers gets it

Product if a more competitive era

 

[Only Forwards]

Make it make sense to me.

We are nice affable and practice a lack of accountability top to bottom.

Totally agree. I would like some accountability too, but it's easier to swing the axe when you have more VFL options.
The coaches I think would be worried about sending out an even younger and less experienced team if you omitted Logue, Powell and Daniel and then Simpkin is out injured. That'd be a very young team down back especially.

Hello exactly where are all these gun players smashing it in the 2’s that will lead us to glory in the 1’s? There’s four matches left in the season for the love of god can’t we all just focus on finding one positive thing about three different players in each game? Not directed at you chubby but that’s my challenge to the nay sayers and ne’er do wells constantly smacking down the club and the players.

 

[hellas_johnny]

Can understand Daniel not being dropped as we don't have any small defenders to come from vfl albeit he's terrible as a small defender either way, but we have enough talls to drop fat prick logue and make a statement. Yet the sacrifical lamb ends up being maley and possibly Dawson who is named on the bench. As said there are no standards

It’s simple.

It was called out externally.

We cannot be seen to be caving to external pressure.

It’s all a performance and the royal blue and white are representative of clown stripes now.

Yep club has gone soft too focused on inclusiveness and not on the standards on the field. But it's okay our women's team are winning we'll be fine. Pagan was right they have a lot to answer for

I’ve been a storm and north man for a long time and the difference in everything is just unbelievable,your held to account at storm that’s for sure unlike north,big difference is it’s the players that do this as well.

Unreal that Moose is the lone scapegoat for the garbage they served up last week. Let’s just keep on rewarding mediocrity shall we.

In: Phillips

Out: Philips

That can't be real.

 

[Hop_lessly Devoted]

The Saints are going to replay the last quarter of their match last week, pre-game - for those who left at 3/4 time.

(It was amazing, don't blame 'em for milking it!)

Wonder what the crowd will be, it's the Saints' last home match with lots to like about last week.

It's going to be a simply wonderful afternoon at the footy!

Will be there

Famously made Brisbane a terrible club to have a good women’s team and not be dickheads.

 

[Rollmop]

That can't be real.

Not if Caro is tipping us by 6 goals lol!!

 

[Coach Bombay]

I'm guessing Clarko played a big part in the recruitment of Daniel. The problem with this is if he drops him and we improve (we would) it only makes him look worse off. This is the problem when people aren't being held accountable.

Logue being selected I think has me feeling the most defeated out of everything going on at the moment because it shows we have no accountability and no standard for putting on the guernsey.

 

[Desciple_Reborn]

Reckon we payout Butcher Scott. No place for him on our list!


or even better he retires like good ol Stevo!

 

[speedy]

Can understand Daniel not being dropped as we don't have any small defenders to come from vfl

If you want like for like we can always move Banch back?
Although you would have to tie banga’s shoe laces together to get the same line breaking pace and kicking penetration we do from Caleb.

Hardeman and Kerch are the small defenders
Duursma back there also as a better rebounding defender

And FOS rotates through there

Duurs has essentially replaced Daniel

Arguably the best coach of any sport in Australia
