Preview Changes: R22 vs North Melbourne, Saturday August 13, 1.40pm ACST @ Adelaide Oval

[SellarStardom]

Jones, Smith, Dawson and Hinge alternating on wings and HB roles, with the 3 talls plus Parnell as the core back 4 and Hamill when he is fit. Means Doedee can play as a mid defender or go into the middle

This arrangement makes it hard for the likes of Scholl, Cook, and even Davis (I have actually liked Davis across HB the past couple of weeks) to break into the side, but it's good competition

Was JHFs drinking with mates misdemeanor earlier this year after a trip to SA?
Might explain the omission?

Not getting picked this week is a disaster for North/JHF relations.
The kid would rightly be feeling as if the club is punishing him.

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Doedee comes in off the bench to play centre is how I would make it roll, but they will want to run with him as a 4th defender

Firstly has anyone ever seen him play midfield ? What says that he can play midfield ?

Also his height is the equivalent of Ryan Burton who has been playing on smalls , why don’t we trial him in Hamill role and see if he can take lots of marks on a smaller opponent

 

[LeftyLuke]

We need to find a role for both Worrell and Doedee in our best 22. I would prefer to use Worrell as the third tall defender and I believe the Dude has other strings to his bow.

Doedee takes Worrell's role, Worrell takes Dawson's role and Dawson moves to a wing where he should be. They are probably going to move Milera into Hamill's role or rejig our smalls.

 

[Soggy2112]

Worrell was matched up on Rioli on several occasions on the weekend from what I saw (always hard to tell on TV), seems like they back him to play on small forwards.

run out of puff?

Why didn’t they just bring him back for the last round against Gold Coast in Melbourne?

JHF gets dropped this week and for the third time this year he doesn’t play against an Adelaide club.

Who the hell is making these decisions at North Melbourne?

Looks like he is carrying for extra kilos as well.

PM me if you want a free GA ticket for tomorrow, I've got one I can't use.

 

[jackster83]

I see that we're back to every second question in the Nicks press conference being about Crouch again. Let it go you muppets.

The skeptic in me would say that it’s because West Coast are unlikely to beat either Freo or Geelong.

You aren’t accusing them of tanking are you?

The way that club has played the past few seasons and been run, I wouldn’t be surprised if they considered it in their selection.

Whoever it is, we should send them a thank you - along with the trade papers

Will be easier for him to have an ice bath then...

North will be happy at play him the following week, apparently ice baths over rule skill level down at North.

I hear Matt Crouch & Billy Frampton are huge fans of ice baths...

 

[ams4crows]

Do North want to win and lose pick 1? Have they seen the media attention their current Pick 1 has got and decided * that Pick 2 has way less pressure.

Let me guess, the journo asking used to play cricket?

 

[BACCS]

That’s some new spin from club land

Was a different one this week. Matt Turner from the Advertiser I think (the same one Port tried to get banned from Hinkley pressers).

 

[jackster83]

Why would a club even admit that?

Just say he's out of form and not meeting the benchmarks.

* me they are amateurs.

At least they didn’t give up that he doesn’t eat his crusts at lunchtime.

 

[FullyBigKPro]

Must admit Schoenberg lucky to hold his spot, would have been a perfect opportunity to give Taylor a go... Even Turner to see if he has anything to offer at AFL level.

Typical AFC
