Preview Changes v Sydney

[tazaa]

True but in our team we had the likes of Scott, Tucker, RHJ running around and I’d like to think a few of our players are in much better form than last year - plus it helps to have a semblance of a game plan. Hoping that last quarter v Geelong was just an aberration and we can give it a red hot crack!

We’re a better side than last time but a cocky North has never done well in the past.
These pricks always find a way to win against us too.

19 years and counting. I hope it ends Saturday

 

[The Nostradamus]

We better have a hard tag on heeney this week

FOS to wear him like a glove

 

[SLF]

No Curnow or Serong Jnr.

I'd almost missed the spectacle of Charlie getting endless bullshit soft frees on Good Friday.

 

[roos 10]

they will have amartey, logan mcdonald and will

No Curnow or Serong Jnr.

No excuses this week without Curnow...

 

[Supa_Nova]

Sniff of an upset. Boy o boy we could lose our next 10 after this but win this weekend and could really be the start of something

 

[Rod Stroker]

No excuses this week without Curnow...

LOL! He hasn't really fired yet this year.

We should be worried about Rosas kicking back to back bags. Nimble small forwards have troubled us for eons, because we don't have a match up for them

Battle of the part-timers.

FWIW our performance against them last year was so bad and neither Curnow, Gulden or Serong were in that team.
Bice, Lloyd and Florent took 29 marks between them.

The major out is McCartin. If Larkey or Trembath get off the chain then it could cause them issues.

Florent is at Carlton now so we should be ok.

Are you serious? Curnow has done shit all this yeat.

This is also the swans. One of the flag favourites, if not THE flag favourite who are another team that's beaten is by 60+ points in most games the last half a decade.

I mean I'd half be expecting a repeat of the cats game tbh. Keep it under 25 points and that's good game for us imo.

I watched them last week against Melbourne and their ball movement is 1st class. If we can't get on top in the middle of the ground, it won't matter who's up forward for them. I hope like hell LDU is fit. We need him in there to have any chance. Wardlaw back is a big plus as well

Florent is at Carlton now so we should be ok.

Moreso the fact we allowed someone like Florent to take 12 marks in the first place. and Lloyd 12. And Bice 15.


There was some healing done when we beat Carlton on Good Friday and Haywards and Florent were in that side.
So with this weeks out they are potentially weaker. Though some might argue no Florent and Hayward makes them stronger.

Yeah, kind of my point.

Florent isn't necessarily that bad himself tho.

Not saying we're not a chance but they'll beat us on the spread because we don't use the ball well enough. And it's because we're not fit enough. If we did we'd be right. We've definitely got talent coming through, but the fitness levels amongst the younger players just isn't there yet and the skill level amongst the older players isn't up to it.

 

[King Corey]

We are coming. Anyone who can't see how much we've improved is a chromosome short.

Sydney by 55.

Hey! I’m missing a chromosome and they’ve put me in charge of team selection the last 2 weeks. I thought I was doing well!

Brady, you were put in charge of list management.

 

[shinboner magic]

Hopefully we have new plans in place to slow/ stop the easy rebounds out of our forward half

 

[Chadwiko]

Hearing Dovaston out.

Nothing's official until it's official.

 

[winalotroos]

Hearing Dovaston out.

Nothing's official until it's official.

So if this is true, and we know Wardlaw comes in will they bring in Konstanty or Hardeman and who else gets dropped ?

 

[Chadwiko]

Have heard unconfirmed reports LDU should be good to go this week. Will be a final test before the game.

Might have gone too early on this.

 

[hilly]

Good to hear LDU and Dovaston are in.

 

[winalotroos]

That’s OK my wife tells me I go too early all the time

Its Sydney.

They could put out their VFL side this week and still somehow kick the first 5 goals of the game.
