I noticed you guys playing Bonar in the backline (correct me if I'm wrong?) Whats the go with that. You guys are missing your core inside midfield then also have Ziebell go down early (again), and didnt play him in the guts originally or move him there afterwards?

Frustrating to see for you guys? Or is there a plan behind this?

It's to give some class ball use down there. McMillan, Atley, Pittard and Williams would be the worst group of users down back in the entire competition.

You probably noticed Higgins down there at times last night too, for the same reason.

Shaw has about a dozen holes to plug at the moment and hasn't got the plugs for the job.

I genuinely feel sorry for the man.

 

[Sillygit]

What odds can i get on only forced changes this week, no ommisions?

Another dark day for North Melbourne.

FYI we will win this week.
Why?
No other valid reason than that Rhyce is coming up against a non flag winning coach for the first time since round 2.
Alarm bells indeed. He needs help in the box and Jade Rawlings isn’t the answer.

What's this nonsense about there's no one left to play?

FFS, our season is well and truly shot, so bring in the kids to get games into them.
I want Murphy in. I want Hosie in.
McKay can stay in.
If LDU and Larkey are fit, they can come in.
Cam and TT can have another week off, no need to rush them back in after just 1 week and have another Ziebell/Cunners egg on face situation.

NFI

I don't understand why we recruit a midfielder who has been in the system for a number of years and not play him in the midfield, especially as Cunners has been unavailable. Baffling.

Spot on. Add him to my list of kids who can stay/come in. He's played just 2 games for us, and not in his best position.

Lots of weird shit over the last 5 weeks that is just unexplainable.

I’m not sure if it’s some part of a long term plan or our coach has NFI?

At the moment I’m leaning towards NFI.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Well, we just made a late change to replace a forward pocket with a key defender so it’s anyone’s guess this week.

Maybe Goldy a late out for Murphy just to really **** with them.

 

[gokangas]

OK - we are due for a big one - will win!

we don't even have a prognosis on TT's injury?

I thought I heard somewhere his ankle was on the lower end of weeks out. Could be wrong.
Even if he's "right to play", he shouldn't be selected next week.

 

[Moti]

Have we heard anything from the scratch match? Hate continually asking this every week. Our media group has dropped off as well.

Has there even been one?

 

[darko]

Ziebell, Hall, Wood, Pittard all put.

Bring in Larkey, LDU, Jed, Zurhaar.

Play Walker up forward with Larkey and Brown. Tax and McKay in defense.

I thought it was yesterday afternoon. If I am wrong, my bad.

Not funny

 

[LuvtheKangas]

I understand LDU and Daw will be ready this week. If Jed also gets up, the team will be instantly improved.

Tempted by Hayden needing his head reattached and Simpkin suffering from an amputation.

 

[Billy Not Really]

Has anyone seen how Carlton play, as well as how they've been playing lately?

Make no mistake their type of game style is built to destroy teams like ours; slow, territorial, long bombs and prone to mistakes.

Carlton will punish the shit out of us when we do make mistakes and run us off our legs. The only way North wins is if it matches that level of attack and gets it inside 50 and keeps it there, as Carlton has a weak defence.

Guess what North CAN'T do right now, get it inside 50 even more than twice a game.

Carlton just did it 4 times in 10 minutes for 4 goals in one quarter in their game right now.

North lose by 40.

 

[Pykie]

LDU to come in, even on managed game time.

Ziebell has played 5 games this year for a total 312 minutes. So around on average a half of a game for a total of 40 disposals over the entire year.

Can't be any worse carrying that across most of the year already.

Yep, for the fist time in a long long time I’m actually scared of playing Carlton.

This sucks big time.
