Preview Changes v Freo

Predicting a close loss that'll make me apeshit again that we whore out home games.
I'm not familiar with the exact details but don't we whore out home games because of the shitness of the Marvel tenancy? Something like 40,000 ticket sales required to break even, whereas it was 25,000 at the G? Factor in our low membership base and you can't really blame the club for doing what it can to stay out of trouble. I might be way off here but I remember seeing something along those lines somewhere that I don't believe was my own fever dreaming land

It has got somewhat better since the afl have had ownership of Docklands, but we still have some residual issues.
My understanding is that we also get a bit of a nod from the afl though lessening the WA issues over traveling.

I stand corrected.

Anyways, give Nostrils back his account, bro. Repetition doesn't make the thing any more likely

He got Pinky out of the team.

Which changes of mine don't you agree with?

I'm happy for them to be exposed against Freo. We'll have another chat in a week when you'l probably want a few of the changes yourself. We're still building, there's **** all need to play the oldest team we can. This game will be like 5 for the kids, don't waste them on blokes who have no chance of playing finals of any substance for us.

Ordinarily I'd agree with one of them (Blamires for Daniels), but I'm a fan of selection integrity and Daniels had a great game against Fold Coast. Drop him if he stinks it up against Freo, which he well may against their fleet of tricky customers.

Vehemently disagree with the other three. Darling especially, off the back of a bye. Probably does more dirty work than the rest of the forward line combined. As much as I would love to just throw the Goa bros in the deep end at AFL level and watch them flourish, that's not how AFL level works. And I'd prefer to get an extended look at Whitlock down back in the magoos

Fair enough, point still stands though, are we trying to make finals or build a side capable of winning it all?
 
Great win, best since Archer's 250th.

Only 6 changes to avoid any wrong turns down Bullshit St.

In: Goater, Blamires, Whitlock, Goad, Dovaston, Hansen Jrs

B: Parker-Comben-Whitlock
HB: Kerch-Dawson-Hardman

F: Duursma-Trembath-Jason
R: Goad - FOS - Wardlaw
IC: Xerri-Konstantys-Zurhaar-Hansen Jrs, Sheezel

Let's crank up the pace.

Replacing over 1,000 games experience with … let me see… 29 games lol

Yep, that’ll do the trick
 
They’ve won 11 in a row, might be due for a loss.
In a lot of their games they experience a "lull", if they do this against us we must take full advantage of it if we are to win this game. Some of their games they have held on, but if we bring the pressure and don't waste our chances, we are a big chance. Tristan against Luke will be the clash of the titans, the midfield is the key, the forward line is still improving and if the defence tightens up it could be very interesting, like the cats and blues, we match up well on them, changes, either no change or Tommy Powell comes in for maybe Spargo or someone else.:think:
 
Spargo’s work rate and ball use has quickly become important but we will also need height and running power to match up. This is why I can see Whitlock in the 23. Maybe a good game to rest either Daniel or Parker? It would be a good time for Dylan Stephens to switch back on as I think he and Jy could be one of our positives in this match-up.

Daniels been moonlighting as the flute player on those new rideshare adds?
Daniels has been good this year but, now we play good teams who will be able to expose him.

The sooner we get Goater back there, the better. Or literally any individual of standard height.

Would love to see Caleb have 4 tackles this week.

Powell is out for 2 to 3 more weeks injured.
 
All those wanting multiple changes are in for disappointment again. North has used fewer players this year than any other team, so I can't see Clarko suddenly swinging the axe after one of our best wins in a decade. He's especially not going to drop guys that had very good games last week, like Darling and Daniel.

The forward line match-ups are a challenge for us this week. Logue to Amis, Comben to Treacy, ... to Voss?

Might just play Dawson on the field a bit more, switch to LMac when Will goes into the ruck / has a breather.

Given we'll have the legs I'd be tempted to stay small(er) and gamble on overrunning them in the last.

I hope we go a bit smaller with the amount of rain forecast over the weekend.
There's none.
