Preview Changes V Essendon

[koshari]

Did training also suggest that Hardeman would be kidnapped by Clarksons, taken down to the farm, ankle tagged by Mrs Clarksons, and confined to menial tasks while CCJ stinks it up on Saturday night?

Just curious is all

Ccj probably wont stink it up too much with 25% tog

 

[zoomba23]

No. He was in an orange guernsey not part of the back 7 in blue.

Given that, not sure he was competing with CCJ for a spot. Probably best to focus your ire at Parker or McDonald's selections.

I want to cry

 

[chickenonachain]

How in hell does a third rate footballer in Ccj get a game honestly I think we have just about given up

 

[Samsquanch]

Duck yeah totally vindicated about everything

Hi mrs duck. Welcome aboard.

 

[Jasemon]

Received notification saying North veteran axed. Prayed beyond all hope it was McDonald for Hardeman. Even Simpkin dropped would have been palatable. Both of them to remain and Hardeman not named. Very, very disappointing and massive opportunity lost for match committee. I would imagine plan at beginning of season was that Darling would be rested for a number of games so not overly surprising. Would loved to have seen Whitlock instead of CCJ however. Can’t see CCJ offering us anything. Hope he proves me wrong.

 

[Rod Stroker]

This is your classic cripple fight. No winners, just the spectacle for everyone else to laugh at.

so then same as last year

 

[footy2016]

I didn't want to believe it when I heard it but I can't believe he isn't straight in.

Is there any reason?

 

[FlyHigh18]

Oh FFS noooo not CCJ!!!

 

[Flawed Genius]

Mcdonald on Langford I guess. Comben on Caddy? Pink...?

 

[Chadwiko]

Is there any reason?

No idea.

My own pure speculation is that Blamires/Hardeman are competing for the same spot.

 

[chickenonachain]

Is there any reason?

We are a team of spuds so the more they bring in the better

Game lost at selection

There's a much higher, almost certain chance that Darling bounces back after one bad week than there is of CCJ having his first decent game for us in well....ever.

Corr on Wright lol

My memory is going but was he any good at Richmond?

 

[footy2016]

Firstly, I don’t like the team selection and can’t believe after last week; that the coaches possibly came to the conclusion that picking an even slower side was the answer.

In saying that, people losing their minds about Darling being dropped, must have forgot how he moved last year off short breaks. Against Essendon last year he physically could not move, smart choice leaving him out.

Trembath will play as the 2nd forward and CCJ will ruck 20% of the game and that is it, I highly doubt we see a 3 tall forward line. Personally would have played Whitlock as the 3rd or even Zane.

is playing forward and it is why JK is out, Daniel had 11 tackles last week, I don’t think a small forward at North has had 11 tackles in a season, so let’s cue the outrage on that. He was fantastic albeit in a small sample size last week.

With darling being out; the pressure is on Zurhaar and Curtis to actually apply pressure and not play like Key position players, if the ball transitions with ease out of our I50, then it is on those 2 and Dovaston who is the only genuine small forward selected.

Corr over Hardeman is mind boggling, we are the slowest team in the comp at exiting D50, cannot believe Corr is in when LMac could have played 3rd tall and Hardeman slots straight in as a small/medium defender who can rebound.

We have rolled the dice at selection; gone slow, experienced and picked a few guys who are 100% under done in Corr, Wardlaw and CCJ, however let’s hope we can massively get hold of them in the ruck/contest and then we can review on Sunday.

He’s right a lot more than people give credit for

 

[footy2016]

No idea.

My own pure speculation is that Blamires/Hardeman are competing for the same spot.

Makes 0 sense seeing how slow we move the ball out of D50. The days of Lmac playing the small defender role are surely over, play him as a 3rd tall and get some extra run through Hardeman, Blamires and Kerch.

 

[koshari]

I want to cry

I simply wont be watching.

 

[Ardent Roo]

Wouldn't Dawson have been the ideal match up for Wright? Just staggered at the CCJ and Corr inclusions.

 

[koshari]

My memory is going but was he any good at Richmond?

Was shithouse. His highlight was eating a kebab.

 

[chickenonachain]

I simply wont be watching.

I have a lot of friends who are north supporters and quite a few of them are saying the same thing

 

[RooStu15]

My memory is going but was he any good at Richmond?

Kicked 4 against Adelaide in his second game, 20% of his career goals.

 

[Cyber_punk]

My memory is going but was he any good at Richmond?

I never really watched him, 9 games in 4 years there so probably not
