Preview Changes & prematch discussion Rd8 vs Richmond

[Ischenko]

Win the contested ball, control it in the air. Must lower our eyes going inside 50. We are gonna try and beat them playing our way, rather than matching them at their game, which is bold. I like it. Zurharr a bit stiff.

 

[Billy Not Really]

it's gonna be a very very hard game. we simply don't have the talented smalls to match what Richmond has, North has dictate the game for 4 quarters, no stopping. Our first quarter game is the best in the comp, 2nd best defence in the league, against Richmond's best 4th quarter in the comp and top defence in the league.

It's gonna be the biggest test for how far this team can go. And all we can ask for is to be as competitive, if not more so than Collingwood was.

Fair enough too. If we try to match them at their game we won't win.

I think we've just lost this game at selection.

And zurhaar stiff given he put the bump on grundy that allowed wood to kick the winning goal.

 

[DarwinRoo]

This run off of our feet nonsense is bullshit.

Waite is more impactful than Zurhaar. Waite doesn’t play and Rance mans up on Z and just goes 3rd man up on Browny all game. Waite makes a defender accountable.

What do Ahern, LDU or Walker bring to the side that gives us an edge in the running stakes? Bueller? Bueller?

If EVW wasn’t injured would he be dropped? No, so replacing him with Daw doesn’t effect us in any way from a running stand point.

We haven’t dropped Hartung, Simpkin and Atley and replaced them with McKay, Durdin and Neilsen for crying out loud.

 

[RHLK]

I'd take Zurhaar over both Turner and Atley....

 

[Horace]

If this team runs out with no late changes I fear a smacking.

Richmong will run us off our feet.

Thank god it’s Mother’s Day and I can’t make it.

So who should have been in instead of Waite and Daw?

Or should there have been wholesale changes?

 

[King Hansen]

Daw is the quickest player in the AFL..I think he'll do ok on the small forwards.

I worry for anyone who see anything long term in Durds and Neilsen, they are so far down the pecking order its not even funny.

 

[The Nostradamus]

its time to phase waite out

EXACTLY .... Not happy he is out, unless it is medically indicated, I'm not happy.

It’s more the level of immaturity of the posters, I always just imagine a bunch of sfellowing 15year olds.

Every single non-north thread is a steaming pile of s**t moderated by stalin-esque dictators.

On the richmond board i let them know that the grand final blu ray was in the clearance bin down at jb hifi. You know save them some money. 2 week ban.

On the draft forum i said that i hope omeara gets over his injuries so that he can become a poor man's LDU...week ban.

In the draft forum i outlayed why i thought north had a more promising list than both saints and the blues while they were in a anti-north circle jerk = ban.

Venture outside these walls and you risk getting knee capped. Stay indoors.

I suppose you didn’t back that up with any reasons because there aren’t any?

35 years old in his final year

time to pump games into people who will be here for the next 5 plus years

 

[Groin guru]

Turner lucky. I'd have given zurhaar the nod over him. It's not lucky turner gives us more run or runs out games better.

Couldn’t agree more DR.

so let him play out his final year as long as form is good, which it has been.

Waite brings everything Zurhaar bring plus more. Zurhaar is unlucky but we’re putting our best foot forward.

Good In's but disappointing to now see LDU and Zurhaar in the 2nd's - one of these guys - probably Zurhaar - should be in the side.

Scotty showing faith in LMac, Turner and Dumont - I hope they reward him.

Really? Turner will be given a stopping role. Atley is averaging twice the disposals and is looking pretty good.

Zurhaar is a wonderful prospect and has everyone excited, he's the only South African I like

Anywho- Waite and Daw are in- who'd have guessed? Am happy we're backing in our 'best available 22' and not worrying about what others doing. Control what you can control.

 

[Dirty_11]

Daw in means no BBB in the ruck. This is a good thing.

Doesn’t know how to run out of defence. Has not used his speed often enough to hurt opposition this year.

Takes mark. Stops. Kicks sideways.

This may work well against slower teams but there is no need or suitable match up to play him against Richmond.

Richmond lower their eyes and find targets going forward better than anyone. I love Maj's resurgence this year but not sure this is the best match-up for him.

Waite has rucked this year.

 

[Smoocher]

Begging for a late change.

Maj has to come out for this game.
