Strategy Changes Round 14 North Melbourne vs. Fremantle

[Minz]

Dion Woodsy Woods. By God, there are some stories to tell there.

Footy was genuinely fun in those days. May be a function of youth but I loved all that flakey shit and the insane promise.

I don't think Freo and "flaky shit" have divorced and become strangers since then...

I don’t even know who Norths second ruck is these days, Xerri basically does it on his own doesn’t he?

I'm not sure Dion's Wood is relevant. I don't think he played enough games to be eligible for father-son selections.

I've watched a few North games because my partner follows them.
Pretty sure it's Darling who gives a chop out as 2nd ruck to Xerri

I don't think we can not pick Dudley when the only reason he pulled out of the gold coast game was for cultural reasons/sorry business. I know it's a ruthless sport but the optics say he should play (I happen to think he plays anyway as best 23 currently on merit, but I do appreciate he's borderline when Walters is fit)

On form He's best 23

He needed a break. He ll be fresh to come in.
I’d imagine for Banfield, and he goes back to sub.
What happens with Fyfe will be interesting.

Banfield playing off half back.

It’s not like for like in fact the complete opposite but I wouldn’t be surprised to see Dudley come in for Darcy. I understand why Darcy played against GC - rain and repeat stoppages. Watching North today and Xerri is solo ruck really with chop out from Darling. LJ can after a break manage this with chop out from ever improving Voss.

Nat Fyfe stays as sub.

That is the only change I’d make.

Otherwise could drop Draper for McDonald but I think they’ll stick with Draper.

Rest Fyfe.

Duds in.

Banners is the ultimate Sub

How much more does Fyfe need to rest. He’s played one quarter in 8 weeks

Yeah, be it the right decision or not I don’t see Fyfe being dropped after they brought him straight in. He is the sub as least.

 

[pK75]

Is worner going to be ok, if not we need another back. Or we swing Wagner back but I’ve loved him in the middle in recent weeks.

Based on last weeks report he will likely miss a week.

Voss stays in. He's our in form key forward at the moment.

Team announcement this week will be very interesting, esp with the last game played was a solid win and if the players already mentioned are able to put their hand up for selection

Will see the mindset of the selection panel

 

[freo84]

I hope they stick with the winning team and not regress back to the same old same old. Stick to what's been working!

Unless injured no changes. Hopefully Pearce is good to go.

IMO we don’t need two rucks against Xerri. Jackson will do and Dudley back in
