Preview Changes & pre-match discussion vs Adelaide Crows, Sat 1.20pm at Marvel

[Kangaroos4eva]

We want to look at Corr as a forward instead of giving Whitlock another game?

Last game for him maybe.

 

[tazaa]

Larkey, Zurhaar, Hardeman, Archer and Goater out.

And we’re carrying Scott, Corr and Logue amongst their replacements. And then a bunch of kids.

Yeh, our chances of winning this game just plummeted.

I never want to see this mix of 22 picked again.

 

[HBFlanker]

Clearly playing Corr considering the opposition forward line. Lets just settle.

 

[Gasometer]

Nekminit unexpected win

Adelaide is distracted and every North fan knows that this is exactly the kind of game we win.

 

[Tas]

Last game for him maybe.

We need to get him off our back.

 

[DarwinRoo]

Corrs selection smells like a farewell game to me

 

[shintemaster]

The person it was said to doesn’t want a bar of it.

But ‘others heard it….’

That's entirely the point though. It's a public place with other AFL employees around. If I'm in my job and drop racist terms or make a lewd joke towards a colleague who doesn't take offence it doesn't mean that it was appropriate in any way. Nor should I expect that others won't potentially be offended.

 

[Topparoo]

Corr might be playing as a forward. He trained as a forward today.

I hope not surely Whitlock would have to be a better option

[Hearts to hearts]

Maybe once upon a time - these days no games are the kind of games we win. Would be a bloody amazing way to end the year and our best win in many many years.

Lol. Like an epitaph to the 2020's at North.

 

[Only Forwards]

Corr might be playing as a forward. He trained as a forward today.

Tipping we want another mature body in there to play a defensive style role and protect what is largely a small/young forwardline.

If they actually do this then I would suggest Bynn's time with us is over.

Make shift of make shift of make shift. At least it isn't Toby Pink or Chom who are seemingly settled in the back line.

 

[HBFlanker]

We are going with 4 kpds again, why?

Is this a serious question?

Have you seen what we are up against?

 

[King Corey]

One change for this week is my kid wanting to attend and, bless him, thinking we are a chance.

I never realised your family had been in Abu Dhabi for the last few years with no exposure to AFL.

 

[the big lebowski]

This Corr forward thing must be a pisstake or sumfink.

Any chance it’s a ruse and Pink starts forward? Makes much more sense.

I think he is playing forward not back…

Maybe but we should’ve just played finnbar forward

That’s what I assumed/was hoping for

Yes. 3 kpds for 3 kpfs. 4 kpds just destroys any semblance of rebound. Teams that have beaten the crows this year haven't needed 4 kpds (all 4 have been badly exposed as individuals in multiple games). No team does it, not even Freo. It is dumb beyond all measure.

Playing four kpds ruins any run and turns into a game similar to what Melbourne did to us where a bunch of smalls/mediums tore us apart because our backline was full of gorillas with the agility of the queen mary.

I’m guessing one of those 4 will start forward & can be swapped back if one of Thilthorpe, Walker or Fogarty get a hold off their opponent… which is likely.
It’s more of an insurance policy I reckon.
We probably also don’t want a guy in his 3rd game (Trembath) being our only key forward when Darling chops out in the ruck.

I think I read a post on here yesterday that our team selection was great...it showed 'an intent to win'.....LOL.

I suspect it’s why I think it may be a retirement game with Corr forward.

Just need to get the club hypnotist involved:
“Repeat after me. I am Craig Sholl in my last game and I will kick 7 goals”.

 

[JUST NORTH]

Corr might be playing as a forward. He trained as a forward today.

Clarko has waited for the last game of the year to produce his Magnus Opus
