Changes - Round 17 vs North Melbourne @ Marvel Stadium

[Foxman98]

It's a forum so posters can base their opinions on whatever they like, just don't get upset about it.

People looked at Buss's stats for the weekend, but without watching the game would not realize that Coffield actually had 4 less poor turnovers, positioned well with 5 marks only one less than Buss and one of the 2 was playing at a significantly higher level. Yes Buss did have 20 possessions but he took the vast majority of kick outs and the Swans had 11 behinds. Gardner with 13 marks played a significantly better defenders game.

Now that is not saying Buss is not, nor will he not be a very good AFL player. However, his did not put his hand up for the upcoming game and performed not as well in the VFKL as the player some want him to replace in the AFL

From Buss's 20 odd disposals only 4 were intercept possessions Gards similar number had 13,

Understand due to him being a first rounder people are ready to be all in on Buss but he needs to lift and several aspects of his game before he can be included and I am one of his bigger fans

There is a 9 days to our next game, Libba will be fine

If you are suggesting this is going to be a walk i the park on north's 100-year game after they've come off a belting, I feel you're sorely mistaken.

Win lose or draw our boys will be feeling it on Friday morning.

How did you come up with that conclusion?

9 day break is very very large thats the point

No I am suggesting Libba gets a 9 day break after this game to recover

Curtis would have him for speed over the course of the game

LOL

I beg to differ. Just the memory of this will stop Curtis from any attempted separation.

That being said Libba should have been given a recovery spell this week. Drop him off at the nearest Tatoo parlor for a few hours as a distraction.

Regardless of his 250th game. He still looked quite vulnerable and distracted at times last week. We see how it goes, I suppose

He'll be right, mate. You know how I know? Cause he's a Libba.

Apologies I misinterpreted

Is there a chance Lobb would be managed? It seems to me his hand is hampering him a bit, hence the glove last week. Buss didn't play his best last week but I thought he was pretty good last time he played AFL and was a little stiff to get dropped

We are not really in a strong enough position to manage any players at this stage of the season.

We have to pick the best team available form now on. We are no certainties to make the finals yet and have a challenge to make the top 4.

Unless a top 22 player is injured, they play

 

[MaxiBont]

I think we’ll be unchanged

 

[3rdgenbulldog]

Do we find out tonight?

 

[MaxiBont]

Yep, line up will come out around 6:30 tonight

Sheezel declared fit to play tomorrow.

Apparently Parker, McDonald, Comben and Archer missed this morning’s captain’s run so could be more outs on top of Darling and Wardlaw

I don't think all of them miss, most likely precaution due to the short break.

Yes I wasn’t suggesting that they all miss, just that there may be additional outs on top of what we already know

 

[Cudi]

Sheezel has been in non contact training this week, reckon a few might play but they aren't going to be very very sore.
