Unofficial Preview Changes v North Melbourne

[fpm84]

IN THE MIX: Taylor, Dahlhaus, O’Connor, Stanley, Parfitt (?), Constable (?), Narkle (?)

IN THE GUN: Rohan (inj?), take your pick from today’s underperformers.

My thoughts:

- We are unsettling the backline every week by chopping and changing who’s in and out. Taylor, Blicavs, Stewart, Kolodjashnij, MOC and Henry is it for me. Sorry Hendo and Bews. Tuohy and Clark further up the field.

- In news that surprised absolutely nobody, S Selwood was exposed on a bigger ground. May play well at KP if he’s selected but I don’t want him in our finals B22. Parfitt or Constable in for him next week please.

- I still don’t know why Stanley was dropped after the Hawthorn game. Flawed as he is, he’s our best ruck option by a mile. Get him back in.

- Miers and Ablett both looked tired today...

IN: Taylor, Dahlhaus, O’Connor, Parfitt, Stanley, Narkle

OUT: Henderson, Bews, Smith, S Selwood, Atkins (all omit), Rohan (inj) / Miers (rest)

 

[ShaunWDT]

I honestly thought Scooter was fine, least he is prepared to run defensively and actually lay a tackle.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Tuohy and Henderson out down back. Taylor and MOC in. I guess Parfitt for Rohan if injured and Stanley for Smith.

 

[patmatcat]

100% right, they need to get the selections back from when we were at our best earlier in the season.
Ins. Taylor, Dahlhaus, O’Connor, Parfitt, Stanley. Narkle... bring him for another taste
Taylor, Blicavs, Stewart, Kolodjashnij, MOC and Henry is our best perfoming backline.

 

[frggr]

The midfield is too 'classy' almost. Someone needs to come out and Constable needs to go back in.

 

[OddYears]

Will never happen but

Out: Henderson, 2e, scooter, Bews, Smith
In: Taylor, moc, Dahlhaus, constable, Stanley

Backs: kolo, Taylor, Stewart, Henry, blitz, moc

Guthrie moves to wing

 

[The Casey Cat]

It lacks depth. Yes the current group 'should' be getting it done better but for whatever reason did considerably better with Constable, Parfitt and Dal in the side as well as them.

Back six was solid until Bews was added.

Atkins needs s rest as does Miers. Narkle, Conatable and Simpson need a go.

 

[Larry Donohue]

Need to go best 22 from here with some rests
In Parfitt, MOC, Dahlhaus, Taylor,
Out Scooter Miers rest Henderson Atkins rest

 

[Drunkcat]

can we tank for draft picks

 

[Wojcinski]

In: Taylor, Stanley, Dahlhaus, MOC, Parfitt, Buzza
Out: Henderson, Smith, Rohan (inj), Henry, Atkins, Miers (rest)

 

[UnitedWarrior93]

PICK YOUR BEST TEAM AND STICK WITH IT.

Anyway, North will roll us.

The way we are playing I can't see us winning another game this season.

 

[Spazz Cat]

We just haven't been able to rest players because you know? We were only 2 games and % clear on top of the ladder for ages.

Ablett, Danger, Miers, Sav, Rohan all look like they need a rest, but what can you do?

Seems like Parfitt is done for the year.
Club doesn't have confidence in Simpson or Narkle to come in for one game.
They just do not like Buzza at all.
Abbott doesn't seem to be an option for whatever reason.
Constable gets too many handballs and doesn't spread (even though he's a f**king inside mid)
We've ballsed this year up a bit. Didn't want to play other players cause of H&A wins, then lossed them anyway and some players look buggered.

Taylor, Blicavs, Stewart, Kolodjashnij, MOC and Henry is our best perfoming backline.

But this is the CS trick, keep changing players so that it looks like he is doing something and knows what he is doing. All in the hope that it might work and if it doesn't then he can say 'well we are still experimenting'

 

[catempire]

We should be working towards playing best 22 against Brisbane. That’s five changes from last night:

In: Stanley, Taylor, Dahlhaus, Parfitt, O’Connor
Out: Smith, Henderson, Atkins, Scooter, Bews

Rohan’s injury gives us the chance to make four of those “ins” easily this week.

 

[Kingsfoil]

The changes for this week really do seem like no-brainers.

IN: Taylor, Dahlhaus, O’Connor, Parfitt, Stanley

OUT: Henderson, Bews, Smith, S Selwood, Rohan (inj)/Atkins (rest)

I'll go against the grain and predict that we'll win against North easily.

 

[RegHickeyStand]

I had Atkins in our best 5.

I do not like the way the club is running our senior players into the ground. Some of them look buggered. And our play looks overcoached. Players hesitant.

 

[cynical]

doesnt really matter what we do we have no chance at a flag

just need to get rid of old,cooked and unskilled and bring in youth

the likes of Scooter, Henderson, Smith and Bews should not be in this team

get some kids in the team for experience

Joel Selwood looks absolutely cooked and Dangershank isn't that far away

 

[catman2006]

With slow ball movement and mids not working hard enough, it wouldnt matter if we put the VFL side in we would get the same result

 

[STPer18]

Dump the same old blokes we've seen year after year who just rejoined the team in the past month or so. They were either injured or playing VFL while our new lineup was defying expectations and managed to open up a three game buffer at the top of the ladder. They deserve to be the ones preparing for a finals campaign, the others can go play VFL and stay there.

Running in quicksand man Scott Selwood getting games ahead of Constable because he needs to work on his 'outside run' is honestly a sick joke.

 

[Landgraft]

If you were going to put players on blast from yesterday's game I'm a bit confused how Henderson is such an automatic out. Did I miss something or is this just the usual circlejerk?

Anyway I'd like to wait for the VFL form and health of our list to become apparent before mooting changes.

I simultaneously think Henderson was fine but it’s a no brainer that Taylor comes back in for him.

Reckon Jordan Clarke will be out, either suspended or rested.

 

[Landgraft]

I'd like to try dropping Kolo instead, if we're going down that path. I don't see why he should be protected and so send a good senior defender into the VFL at his expense.
