Preview Changes & prematch discussion vs St Kilda

[Le Grille]

I'm not too fussed if the change isn't made this week, but if the coaches decide to give up on Hayden I'd move Ziebell back and replace the skipper up forward with Stephenson or Mahony depending on how the former is tracking (i.e. he likely has KPIs he needs to hit to get back into the side and I don't want him in for the sake of it).

I know a lot of posters are over the Ziebell as a defender experiment, but I think that's the clearest way to fit our best 22 on the park.

There's clearly a weak link in the back 7, however with Hall, McKay, and Bonar all 2-3 weeks away it may be tempting to stick with Atu/Hayden until one of them is ready to come back in.

Jz can’t go back to defence, he will just be targeted

 

[The Nostradamus]

didn't last weeks report mention Mckay would be a chance this week? (was he 1-2 weeks listed last week? so a chance)

I think currently we only have five healthy capable defenders as well as Scott who is playing an attacking role. If Atu, Hayden or Ziebell are the 7th, then I think they're all going to be targeted.

It's worth mentioning that I didn't mind Ziebell's game on the weekend, but I feel like Hayden out of Stephenson just makes us a more talented team.

We need experience in the forward line more then the back line (where we have Corr McDonald already).

Last year the backline neglected the future & throwing Jack back takes away games from a young defender.

I want Stevo to find desire, long term having him sit until the penny drops is the best thing for us.

I would have a back group of young, Corr, walker, lmac, Perez,Scott, Turner maybe even Taylor on a flank

That first part is a fair point. You also have Turner back there as well for whatever that's worth.

With him keeping out Hayden and Atu, I'm not convinced that either of those will be on the list next year as defenders. I'd rather Ziebell take that spot and both get a chance to save their careers in other positions. It's only a temporary issue anyway with Bonar, McKay and Hall all due back soon.

 

[franjon]

... Ah f*ck, we're gonna have to play f*ckin Josh Walker on him aren't we?

He did a pretty fair job on Brown.

Not convinced on Bonar. The injuries are becoming a concern and I could end up being wrong, but I can't get that de Goey performance out of my mind. Physically it was the ideal match up.

How many clubs do we have a positive win-loss record against in the afl era?

Get your ticket to Marvel Stadium​

Although it's a North away fixture, we want as many fans as possible at Marvel to cheer the boys on against some stiff opposition. Get behind the Kangaroos as they look to build on the season so far.

It is a member replacement game, so reserved seat and social club members can use their barcode in the NMFC App (found under access my member card > Round 11 > ticket details) to redeem a seat on Level 1.

All other members can scan in using their mobile membership card and sit anywhere in general admission seating.

Awkward (and now upsetting) if not!! BMAC to dethrone the KING!

 

[The Nostradamus]

Do we do that training reports thread anymore?

Nah apparently the preseason track watchers are busy now so there aren’t any training reports/threads required

 

[Engimal v3]

Is this a replacement game?

 

[Val Keating]

Is this a replacement game?

Yep

 

[kangafruity]

Strong disagree


it’s a big issue his skills are deplorable at the moment

43%Disposal Efficiency on the weekend says it all really. He could be a gun but not with stats like that

He’s our reigning BnF winner, so yeah, I think he has it in him.

 

[giantroo]

No Jack Higgins for the Saints

 

[kool kangas]
