Unofficial Preview Changes V North Melbourne: Out: Crocker/Daicos - In: Murray/Cox

[parvey]

How things change.. and quickly:

Start of season- “Oh s**t, Cox is playing .. FML what are they thinking! “
Nek minnit- “Cox a late out?!!? We’re forked!!”

Welcome back big fella.

Maybe a slight exageration, it was more like after 2 rounds, "oh s**t, Cox is playing" because from after that he has been more than useful

 

[Pie eyed]

Why would he miss. He would be hot favorite to play from here.

Cox once "smoked the reefer'!!!"

 

[parvey]

Finally Crooker is gone don't want to see him again in the black and white

Love the Ins need some pace in with Treloar out.

Completely agree, I would have even dropped him to the development league if we still had one, just a very bad player

One thing we'll never hear. "Blair is back - yippee"

I'm excited to see Murray back, we need his pace to help break the game open.

 

[mike123]

Jesus christ.

What does he have to do with TD tipping north?

 

[surfer1]

We are so undersized. Let's hope

 

[jackcass]

Has Moore trained this week?

Don't know.

Pace is nothing if you don't use the ball well.

 

[The Plowking]

Pace is nothing if you don't use the ball well.

Agree. I'm not convinced about him.

I'd rather Varcoe off the back flank.

Elliott to replace varcoe & Treloar to replace Greenwood, then we should actually have a finals worthy side...

In some cases it was, ‘Cox should never play again! Delist!’

Another year I reckon before he gets the composure he needs to make use of it.

Those changes would be huge for us. Takes us from pretender to contender. If we can snag a fourth finish we can hit Richmond with everything we’ve got.
Must win on Saturday

 

[Cousin of Daicos]

This is a massive opportunity for Sam Murray. Personally I don't think he deserved his place, but he's received a chance. And now needs to capitalise.

Cox/Crocker change is a sight for sore eyes.

Simple question.

Murray? or Crocker?

If Crocker can get games, I feel like there's no such thing as any player on our list being "undeserving" of getting a game.

 

[mike123]

H disagrees with you

 

[DaVe86]

I think that based on what we have available, that is as good a team as we can chose.

I'm happy to see Murray in this week. I think we can expose the Roos for pace.

I actually would prefer him more up on a wing though because I think the run off half back has been pretty good with Crisp and Maynard.

Hoping Elliott and Aish come back in the next couple. But short term, I think this is as good a side as we can expect to roll out

Collingwood 6 footers can do anything they please...

Elliott will be a massive in for us and Aish will be an improvement to the 22, let's just hope both can find form quickly. We have a few tough weeks starting this week with Norf.

I hope Murray has worked on his right side, he became way too predictable and they found him out. I like what he brings, he's tough in the contest and has that pace, better disposal on both sides and we have a winner there.

 

[MyManLynch]

I don't think McLarty being an emergency means a potential late-out. I think it's just learning that last week we were caught with our pants down by having no tall emergency.

I think it’s an acknowledgment that McLarty is next in line (if we were to lose a Cox/Moore/Mihocek).
He has edged past Crocker...as next on the list.
Either that or he absolutely kicked arse in the Interclub match simulation last week...

 

[Leviathan Pie]

Simple question.

Thats a loaded question.

Considering the difference in position, etc.

When Murray was omitted after Round 9, Bucks stated that he needed to go back for while & that he would be reintroduced later in the season.
There appeared to be a specific plan...to get Murray playing his role, improve his disposal, awareness & decision making.
I assume Bucks is happier now (with his game) & it’s time for him to be given his next opportunity.
Hopefully he grasps it with both hands...

 

[Dead Eye Didak]

In my Tip Comp I actually Picked North

What made you pick North?
You dont think we have more midfield depth than them, we are alot quicker than them around the ground, plus we have a potent forward structure?
Only danger for us is if Brown, Daw and Ziebell get on top of our backline. I think that Greenwood may well take Ziebell, and we will trust our midfield to go head to head with theirs, so no tagging of Higgins.

I was excited by him and lets hope he comes back even better, there is a lot to work with and IMHO the guy has a promising future.
