Unofficial Preview Changes v North Melbourne

[James1970]

Hope we put as much effort into the game as we have the photo-ops.

 

[BigCat1]

I’d try Menegola in Rohan’s role as third tall.

Lukey D in for Atkins. Narkle or Constable for Scott Selwood. Taylor for Henderson. Stanley for smith. Hopefully O’Connor if fit back in for Bews. If Parfitt is available Miers goes too.

Big changes needed.

Get on selection. Absolute common sense

 

[catempire]

Now expecting

In: Taylor, Dahlhaus, O’Connor,
Out: Henderson, Rohan, Clark

Would like to seek Narkle (for Atkins) and Stanley for Smith. But I doubt they’ll want to make too many changes in one go.

That and Constable for Selwood.

Is Parfitt a chance? Listed as a test I think - has there been any news regarding how likely he is to be available? I reckon we miss him more than I thought we would.

 

[Strange Cat]

It appears the players and club are putting in a lot of effort for retro round

You’d hope that’s not exclusive to off field and they are focussing on the actual game

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Okay, perhaps controversial, but a genuine question, so please give this some thought.

Do you think Geelongs propensity to set up it's structures according to the unique dimensions of its home ground, causes issues when they get on to the bigger arenas?



I'm interested in footy.

Nah, some of their best games against the best sides this year have been at the mcg. They also didn't train at Kardinia for most of preseason and instead trained at their facility at Deakin (mcg dimensions).

The losses are because they're in poor form.

Not sure the sideburns are a good look on Hawkins

Liking it just for the Simpsons reference.

Chris Scott said today his highly likely available to play this weekend... So saying that he won't be playing lol

I'm interested in which one of our players Cunnington's gonna try and cheap shot this week.

****ing sniper.

I shouldn't talk, I spell shit wrong all the time. But it did read weird

Won't be Clark.
Hope Miers gets a rest this week too, same reason. Not only Cunnington, but their whole team has become focussed on attacking opposition ferociously.

I've got no issue with the rest of their team(well, Thompson), hopefully some of their aggression rubs off on us.

Rub off on us, or rub us off?
I know what you're saying, but they're making hitting players with the ball an art form.
Maybe we used to that, when we were awesome; not that NM are awesome yet, but their aggression has become highly effective. Used to be Ziebell and Cunnington, now they have about 16-20 enforcers

Come again?

 

[Play it Sam]

Well Clark can have a rest. One soldier out one in. It’s PUMP UP time.

That's harsh. It's like the relative who says, tough luck-let's read the will.

 

[ShaunWDT]

Worried about our lack of pace now, probably get away with it at Geelong but not sure well stack up well at the G if we cant get Rohan and Clark right, time for Narkle and Parsons to stand up.

 

[frggr]

For me, Joel Selwood and Atkins would be an easy swap to make (Atkins omitted). Selwood would provide similar pressure in the forward line.

One of Guthrie or Parsons out to the wing where Selwood was playing.

Narkle comes in and takes over Guthrie’s midfield role.

If Parsons comes into the team on the wing, then it’s one of either Guthrie, Scott Selwood or Constable in the team in the midfield.

Stanley takes Smith’s spot.

Parfitt and Menegola fight for the forward/midfield role.

Rohan’s spot after his injury recovery should be challenged by Cockatoo.

MOC takes Bews’ role.

Oh boy, Joel playing pressure forward would make oppo defenders shit themselves.
Can mark. Great set shot.

Please make it happen.

Oh boy, Joel playing pressure forward would make oppo defenders s**t themselves.
Can mark. Great set shot.

Please make it happen.

More likely Scooter moves forward and Menegola attends more centre bounces.

That's not nearly as exciting

Ball goes to ground and you know he will fight for it.

I suspect Jed Anderson will return, Atley also, and there's word that we may rest Larkey and play the bigger Tom Campbell.

Wet conditions, night match & more restricted ground dimensions means that this contest will be physical.

The only real way to combat is to apply heat in return.
