Prediction Changes: Round 6 Vs North Melbourne + Pre-match discussion

[Snuffaluphagus]

Team, with the game day thread only a few hours away and the sensitive nature of the topic, we are going to let this thread discuss all things do to with the game AND accept the fact not discussing politics would be difficult in this situation.

We will be lenient on political talk, however, it does not mean we’ll allow shitty twitter opinion posts from any South American fluffy horse-like creatures and it does not mean you can degrade / be rude to other posters (sarcastic or otherwise).

Now let’s all go enjoy the fact it is a long weekend discriminating variant and we can do essentially whatever we want tonight

JLo just had presser. Only one change probably. Treacy will be backed in.

Pleased about this.

Considering his form so far with Thursday Press Conference to Final Team selection I'd still be waiting on that one...

Confirmed three new debutants and Fyfe dropped

 

[Taylor]

Crowden for Cerra, Hamling back in training next week or the week after

Treacy to kick 6

That was the obvious outcome.

How many will Taberner kick then?

Tabs won't kick any because he will be playing decoy forward for Treacy who they will have in the primary role to get him a fast track to AFL experience, similar to how Fyfe was watching from the forward line while the young mids played primary roles.

I have mixed feelings about any of our forwards kicking a bag against North.

2017 - Nyhuis kicks 4 goals against North (we win)
2018 - nobody kicked more than 2 goals (but we also lost the game)
2019 - McCarthy kicks 4 5 goals against North (we win)
2020 - Hogan kicks 4 goals against North (we win)

Coincidence that none of those players are on our list anymore? Treacy to kick either 3 or 5 6 goals.

I conveniently left out 2016 when Fyfe kicked 4 goals, we lost the game and I think he's still on the list?

Nyhuis being robbed of a RS nom after this debut effort still angries up my blood.

 

[Joao]

Just for Joao

Don't think I am getting carried away saying he's probably good for a 50+8 game.

 

[Tbonefreo]

How bloody good was that kick! Didn't know he had it in him. I used to be very critical of Sean the Sheep but I'm starting to love him now.

You should go and read some of his interviews when he was drafted by freo. The kid was ecstatic. His first game he had an absolute blinder in the ruck.

Always been a favourite of mine.

Can you walk up and buy tickets at the venue these days?

 

[Bring back Drum]

Considering his PB is 17 disposals, he’s got a bit of work to do.

Not saying he can’t do it..............but he can’t do it.

I dare you to say that to Mitch’s face.

Nope, I need my spleen.

Ticketmaster seemed to not accepting orders in the several hours prior to the Hawks game. I was going to just watch it at home but the kids were persistent, so we got tickets at the gate, no queue, no problem.

i got the feeling ross didn't like Nyhuls. He never got a good run at it.

 

[poshman]

And you would have to be on your knees...

Seriously though... Happy with Crowden in, I think he adds speed, creative long kicking and tackling.

I don't know how to react to this post. Half is true and half is blasphemy.

I was hoping it would cause that response...

In all seriousness, I think he should get a good run at it in the team. If he can develop his right foot over time, so he is confident to move right in congestion he will be very valuable. I think that will come.
