Preview Changes & Pre-Match Discussion for Round 9 vs North Melbourne

[Burningleviathan]

I expect the free kick count to be equal to the rogering we got down there a few years back.

 

[davesnothere]

Dante actually matches up physically better than I thought against Goldstein but this 20yr old against a 300 game champion as a 1st start thing would worry me.

 

[Enviable Tradition]

Surely Hayes can run with an ancient Goldy?

Watched a bit of North v Saints this arvo, and North actually looked ok at times.
I’m expecting a putrid game like we witnessed today. s**t teams always bring us down to their level.

At some point North will turn and do you think they wouldn't like it to be against us?

This is the kind of game that will tell us if Port have changed their spots.

 

[Alyx]

Alyx shoop inanimate carbon rod to be puffing on a ciggie?

 

[Nemisis]

Clurey in for Yonas
Hayes for Teakle (Treacle v Teakle)
Evans in for Junior

 

[Scholz Supremacy]

I haven't really cared about winning or losing any of our games this year, not even the Showdown. This game I will be cheering every goal like it's the 2004 granny. * this awful football club. I hope we beat them so badly they fold, I hope Alistair Clarkson and Taryn Thomas never work in football again, and I hope that every one of their fans who have so disgracefully abused JHF is haunted by the loss of their club every day for the rest of their lives.

You’d enjoy winning this game with Jake Neade, Sam Gray and Cam Sutcliffe all being our best players.

 

[Phar Ted]

Visentini in for Teakle
Clurey in for Jonas
expect Rioli to be free to play

Sub - Frank
Snub - Hayes

Visentini before Hayes for mine.
Hayes needs to lay off the Durrys.

Expect North players to be all over JHF, next level to us on Guerra in 2004 or Freo on Lobb the other week.

You can't hide the kid but suspect he'll start from the bench. Kenny already giving hints how midfield are on a rotation and Ollie and Zak started with reducee 1st qtr minutes today.

Suspect the umps won't protect JHF either so he's going to have to play smart, along with the senior players and not get sucked in. Umps will be looking to pay every retaliation they can find to help build the theatre.

North would want the game to turn into a scrap. So as much as I'd love to get minutes into Dante over the next 4 weeks, I'd actually consider Lycett for this week.
Teakle just doesn't come across as a physical enforcer and while Dante has the agro I wouldn't be throwing him into this game for his debut with only 2 preseasons under his belt.

If Clurey hasn't done enough to get back in for Jonas, I would also leave DBJ back and keep Evans in the side.

For sure this will be heated both on the field and in the stands because of those pathetic Norf crybabies who are still talking about booing him and hoping their players rough him up, or worse..
Hopefully Port gets a reasonable number of supporters travelling.
Please Port, don’t play down to their pathetic level.

 

[Ports1870]

Evans for Rioli
Visentini for Teakle
Pasini/Farrell for Jonas (Depends if they wanna go small or big)

 

[Lagooner]

JHF out is a terrible call. Ben Simmons-esque.

Visentini for Teakle
Pasini for Jonas
If Rioli gets suspended, Evans can come in.

Couldn’t agree more. Let North’s 30-odd travelling supporters boo their little lungs out while Jason collects a possession for each one of them.

 

[JUSTWORK]

Pasini would be the most like for like replacement for Jonas, but North only have Larkey (198) then Zurhaar (190) as their next tallest forward. That said, brining in Pasini would allow he and McKenzie to take those 2 North forwards and free up Aliir.

 

[FishingRick04]

Subbing JHF would be funny as then they wouldn’t know when he’s coming on

 

[JakeNeadeFan]

Clurey was better than Pasini in this week's game and Pasini has not been very good in the sanfl so far.

But either way I think you don't play a third tall defender in this game anyway.

 

[TeeKray]

I don't care what anyone says, we need to bring back Lycett. At least he's a big body that can get in the way a bit and doesn't rob our forward line of Finlayson half the time.

Lycett isn't the future, but if you want to win games and you are not going to pick Hayes then he is the best option.

Really if we're going to play a man down we should've invested these last 3 games into Visentini.

Teakle can not play as 1st ruck this week. It was bad enough the selectors and coaches didn't recognise this after last week, but to take till half time to basically bench him was far too long.

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

I've seen this called a dog act and compared to Gaff's hit

WHAT?

Aboriginal + plays for Port. Blocking the defenders run happens 50 times a game, just unlucky contact and unlucky injury.

 

[bomberclifford]

The delayed reaction is ****ing weird.

 

[Waspy79]

If Van Rooyen got two I reckon Rioli will get a month after all the Port taxes and media mud slinging.

 

[Enviable Tradition]

All bar JHF should be fed a solid diet of shit posts from North fans all week.

Make them come out angry and smash them.

There is zero chance JHF wants to miss this. He's not that kind of kid.

Apologies for missing, why didn't Lycett play for the maggies?

Jackson showed a bit but can't see who he'd replace.

In the end, they're 16th and haven't won since March so maybe give Charlie a rest.

Lycett was resting up to rag doll the bull when he tries to go near JHF
