Unofficial Preview Changes & prematch discussion vs Adelaide - Round 22

[The acurate one]

Coach Emeritus Scamper

and
Coach Sissy Rose:

both say the following:

Right GB you're clearly one of the more astute posters around here. But for season 2023 it's about fresh starts, you need a big preseason and new material. I have faith that you will deliver.

I'm backing you in.

 

[the flying ham]

Cunners also had a calf strain and then covid

Trained 1 week then play 3/4 of a VFL game

So in the last 3 weeks TT would have trained more and played more

At risk of going round in circles, the current senior coach said he isn't fit enough and didn't train for 3 weeks on personal leave. Literally doubled over every qtr in the 2s. He isn't fit.

As I said you've all preseason to work on it, take your sweet time mate.

 

[hotchilli]

Now we have the Cunners news out the way yesterday, can we get news today that Chom is in for his first game this year please.

 

[shinboner magic]

At a minimum cunners , TT and comben should be in the team.

Patch you’ll be renamed patches if this doesn’t happen

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Surely we can now dispense with the delusion that Aaron Hall has any use to us going forward?

In the long-term, yes, he’s not adding much. As much as Stevo’s brain fade worries me, he’s at least very young still and a lot more creative than Hall. Perez is like Young in that he can lockdown and offer a bit of rebound.

TT having another week in the 2s

 

[DERRINALPHIL]

Funny how no-one has called for Lazaro to be dropped.

Mr Invisible.

Possibly you answered your own question.

Koshari Your comment is funny

Hall was moved back by Noble and Blakey as part of that gameplan.

The gameplan didn't work.

Indeed, seasoned football analysts understood that Aaaron's best games - when he'd get 38 touches and 6900 meters gained - always coincided with out worst team performances.

Clarko may yet see a role for Hall elsewhere, but I suspect his days are numbered, and right now we should be backing in Stevo and Perez.

 

[DERRINALPHIL]

I was hoping that Cunners would play the last game so I would have something to take from the whole year, Now he will play two.

He never runs around like LDU so I think he will be fine even if he is a bit underdone.

Noticed LDU under a cloud. If he misses that would be a disappointment as I have fantasised Cunners extracting and LDU disappearing into the distance with the ball at Marvel more then once.

Patch just confirmed that TT will play another week in the VFL

North Melbourne interim coach Leigh Adams (11.8.22)

Ahead of their match against Adelaide this week, North Melbourne interim coach Leigh Adams joined Garry and Tim to talk about Ben Cunnington's return to the side, the areas they've improved in this year, his adjustment to the head coaching role, his aspirations for the future, Jaidyn Stephenson...

Not a bad move, imo.

He was looking like he was starting to enjoy his footy again on the weekend and I think the two's is a perfect pressure free zone to help him do just that.

Big picture, etc, etc...

 

[Roosurgence]

Neither unfortunately.

News was that we've just hit carbon neutral.

Are you sure it wasn’t for the new steamer?

Dim Sims all around!

 

[Horizons_00]

If LDU is out, I would chuck Stephenson in the middle

 

[GoNorth]

Tom Browne just said that Jason Horne-Francis has been omitted.

 

[giantroo]

 

[trooroo4life]

Oh boy…

 

[SpiderBurton22]

JHF rested for the trip to Adelaide.

Geeat move, not having to put up with the nuff nuffs.

 

[giantroo]

 

[The Nostradamus]

patch begging to be sacked

 

[SpiderBurton22]

They said rested on 7 news.

 

[sruss]

FFS when can we see Comben?

 

[Roosurgence]

patch begging to be sacked

If they keep Lazarro in and omit JHF, this place will go apoplectic.

For those of you playing at home.
