Changes - Round 17 vs North Melbourne @ Marvel Stadium

[JTCWBFC]

The other guy Zac walker hasn't played a game is he injured

Didn’t he play yesterday?

 

[Bulldogs85]

Didn’t he play yesterday?

Yes

 

[DognBones]

The other guy Zac walker hasn't played a game is he injured

Played yesterday. 15 disposals, 6 marks, 1 tackle. A lightly built back man who can mark well overhead. Good development potential as he fills out.

 

[Walsh Bay]

Yeah he's really light. Got shifted off balance on a number of occasions, and his awareness wasn't at VFL level yet.

Fair to say the senior players like Doc were doing a bit of coaching out there!

But good skills, mobility and a nice height. Sam Power

was watching him closely in the third.

Vandemeer needs a run at VFL level. He’s just not up to it, neither is McNeil.

Harmes wasn’t great. Nor was JJ.

What should happen:
IN: Garcia, Buss, Poulter
OUT: Vandemeer, McNeil, Harmes/JJ

What will happen:
IN: Baker
OUT: Khamis

Baker was crapola in the magoos

Given the consistency in selection over the last season and a half, I am not sure why posters still have to add what will happen given its never right.

From the VFL game only really Garcia and to a lesser extent Dolan put their hands up for the upcoming game

 

[BigFloppa]

I'd be resting Libba against North. His output has been down for a while and we need him primed for Adelaide and Brisbane. His 250th can wait a week - our finals chances are more important than sentimental milestones.

His output has been down due to positional changes

 

[Mucat]

I didn't see his name in the team

I'm a bad judge here if you had to pick out of Walker or Sellwood who would you pick from the 2 or will it be both

Sellwood is much more ready if playing today.

 

[House_of_Dahl]

I’m very sure I saw Bailey Williams injure himself in the dying minutes?

I thought this too - like a hammy or strain - but then he was fine and just looking puffed so hopefully ok

 

[DiamondDogs8]

In: Garcia, Jaques
Out: McNeil, Coffield

Bramble JOD Williams
JJ Lobb Dale
Sanders Richards Freijah
Kennedy Naughton Hynes
VDM Darcy West
English Bont Libba

Jaques Davidson Garcia Buku
Sub: Harmes

 

[Angak]

Interesting that Bevo prefers two tall forwards over three.

I really feel for Buku, he’s done everything that’s been asked of him when he’s played
.

 

[Spiritof82]

So when is Libba playing his 250

Next round against Norf

 

[Mucat]

Next round against Norf

That's interesting i if they'll do it for libba

 

[Mojorisin]

Wouldn't be suprised if English missed, will be a big loss against Xerri. Did well after getting treatment in the rooms but will be very sore today.

 

[Foxman98]

He will get beaten but Big Lach will put in a good honest shift

 

[Mojorisin]

I'd imagine if English was to miss Lobb would ruck with Gardner coming in to defence.

 

[Mantis Toboggan]

Yeah I agree. He’s proven very accurate too…which shouldn’t be underestimated in our forward line. I’d expect him to either start or be dropped entirely next week, just for the sake of his own fitness.

 

[King Harold]

Out : Bramble
In: Gardiner

 

[doggie dog]

If English was to miss, after Gardner's last game, i think most of us prefer Gardner ruck over playing a KPD.
Either that or LSmith for a baptism of against Xerri.

 

[Libba39]

Out : Bramble
In: Gardiner

Errr.. Surely you jest.

 

[King Harold]

Errr.. Surely you jest.

Just trying to stay on good terms with half the BF posters on here Libba.
They want to replace him every week.

 

[Bald Headed Flog]

Interesting quirk of our fixture I just noticed - we are yet to host a true “home” game at Marvel this year. Every game there so far has been against Melbourne teams.

We have 4 interstate sides coming up to finish the season. We go into all of them with a significant leg up, should be winning them all
