Preview Changes v lions Saturday 2:35pm @Metricon

[Themanbun]

I just want to see a forward structure and a semblance of a game plan. Bring in whoever.

 

[Devington]

Jmac a confirmed out, best of luck to him and his wife!
Bonar almost definitely with that shoulder(?).
Kyron and EVW to replace them.

Durdin out, replace him with.... someone not as tall?

Then just rest whoever needs it (Goldy at the very least) and play whoever is healthy and could conceivably cover for them (hopefully Xerri and WW make it in!)

 

[shimaburnsgrieg]

Pretty clear by the lack of input here that no-one really gives a fu** any more.

Well to be fair it is pretty clear the majority of our players and coaching staff dont either.

 

[Joshen]

I would drop Polec too for his flaccid defensive efforts

Honestly, I thought he was much better on this front tonight.

He is no Jed, nor will ever be, but vastly improved in my opinion.

 

[Joshen]

Need to spend the next six weeks getting a really good look at players to determine who is going to be on the list next year.

At least 10 players should be in the 'playing for their careers' basket.

 

[scottywiper]

Pittard and Atley really shouldn't play next week.
Hall needs to be dropped.
For senior players they were all woeful.
Mahony needs a rest. Bonar injured.
Tarrant sore?
But who do we bring in?
Surely Hayden back, Marley is a better option than Pittard and Atley, at least he knows how to halve a contest.
Walker, maybe give Crocker a game. Wood. Have I forgotten anyone?

 

[billnats]

IN: Hayden, EVW, Perez and Walker. Possibly Hosie
OUT: Plenty

Would love McGuiness to get 1-2 games by end of year. Undeveloped but good decision maker. I miss this.

 

[Only Forwards]

We're going to get cut to pieces.

 

[Passmore]

Both at once?

Tommy Campbell on the other wing.

 

[tazaa]

We could lose by triple figures this week.
I actually want the season over and could not care less if we didnt play again this year.

In a year where so much has gone wrong and theres been so much loss and impact on peoples lives, Norths was meant to be that outlet, that beacon of positivity to look forward to and look what they served up.

 

[Shinboner '07]

Haha who gives a s**t

We’re gonna get done by 100 here

 

[giantroo]

"Aiden Bonar (AC joint), Jed Anderson (eye), Josh Walker (corked thigh), Robbie Tarrant (corked calf) and Majak Daw (corked calf) all suffered setbacks and are in doubt to face Brisbane on Saturday."

 

[Passmore]

Any North supporters residing in Brisbane or Gold Coast areas, pleas attend training with boots and a mouth guard.

 

[Ball Dont Lie]

Play any young player that is fit. Xerri, Walker, hosie, Crocker, Perez.

Murphy, but i have given up hope of him getting a crack

 

[Roosurgence]

If Shaw is serious this week Atley doesn’t play. Lazy count won’t even chase now.

Durdin is a deadset spud, so not sure why we would waste anymore time on him?

Mahoney needs a rest and everything Hall touches turns to s**t.

Bonar, Walker, Tarrant, Daw and Jed might be injured.

Ins: W Walker, Hosie, Murphy, Hayden, Xerri(if it means never having to see Durdin again), Williams. Then bring in any of Crocker, Perez, McGuiness if they are physically fit enough.

Cupboard is bare! Please no Tom Campbell, unless he is played as a Ruckman only.

 

[Roosurgence]

Murphy, but i have given up hope of him getting a crack

I have too.

I’m beginning to think if Rhyce sees something in you he doesn’t like them, he holds you to a standard that doesn’t apply to any other useless campaigner on the list.

Just another coach that seems to play his favourites.

I do find it puzzling that Marley, our best 1 on 1 small defender is out due to his disposal errors, while I watch several players with less of his combative nature make a string of horrific stuff ups.

I have a distinct feeling Shaw let’s it slide if you are one of his favourites.

The longer this season goes the more I fear he has no ******* idea what he is doing?

I can’t even see what they are trying to achieve at the moment other than to look totally incompetent.

 

[DaveyBoy123]

OUT: Bonar, J. Walker, Daw, Anderson, Mahoney, MacMillan
IN: Murphy, Hosie, Xerri, Williams, W. Walker, Hayden

Poor Goldy & Taz probably can't get a rest... Although, if they're injured in any way, please rest them. Campbell to come in for Goldy and/or Wood for Taz. EVW in the mix, but ONLY if he's actually ready. No point risking him for very little reward.

I have a distinct feeling Shaw let’s it slide if you are one of his favourites.

Don't totally agree with this, as I'm almost certain that Murphy is one of his favourites, but he hasn't overplayed him to this point. Having said that, I don't think he is a fan of Marley (probably something his brother passed on from back in the Pies day).

 

[shinboner magic]

Forfeit - to many injuries can’t field a team

 

[goalieboy82]

When will the suffering end?

 

[Lavy_Panther]

Replace Viv Richards with Chris Fagan.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

With Goldy playing on the wing, clearly the club don’t give any *s.

So neither should we.

 

[goalieboy82]

Forfeit - to many injuries can’t field a team

so it has come to this our new full forward then:
