Changes vs Geelong

[Deep We11s 1]

Mullett for McMahon, Wright sub.

Big night, bright lights. Last chance for basti imo or it's swap for jacobs or dare I say Anthony. Wouldn't be surprised if he swaps mcmahon for firrito

 

[Happy Hour]

Meaning a lot of the stuff you have posted on this thread is absolute shit.

Glad you acknowledged it, the rest of us saw for what it was from the start.

No, meaning he has made a little progress in those areas but is still very limited and I stand by everything I have said. I won't be losing sleep because the sycophantic masses don't agree with me. He is massively overrated on here.

 

[Happy Hour]

How is Hansen forward "different"?

It's not Daw. He will know what he is doing. He will actually mark the ball. We will not waste forward 50 entries like we have been the past 2 weeks.

You haven't been to a game in the last month, have you?

Time to look ahead to Friday night and get close to our best 22 on the park.

In: Mullett, Grima, Wells
Out: McMahon, Tippett, Wright

Wood a chance also

Out, McMahon, basti
In, fishy, la or wood

Tough call...I'm a huge basti fan, but he needs to go vfl and rack up 30 plus each week for his confidence...I'm not an la fan but he deserves a call up on form over basti.....so does Jacobs for that matter!!!! Ideally I'd love to get wood in there over anyone but not sure vs Geelong gets the timing right,,,,then again, he has some swagger and a falcons boy, could well rise to the occasion. I'll back the club to make the right call.

Have acknowledged he is a work in progress. I am not satisfied that 3 talls is the way to go. Forward line is currently dysfunctional and I would like to see something different. Providing our 'structures' are too inflexible to accommodate this it would be my preference to try Hansen forward, especially given the emergence of Tippett as a legitimate option in defence. Apparently the suggestion that Hansen could play forward in Tarrants absence is obscene to some. Fair enough.

why would you want to move Hansen when he has finally found his niche in the back half. He is borderline AA level across half back and without his intercept marking we are seriously worse off. Not to mention he is better at reading the play and playing a team role in the backline.

He was okay in the forward line, but nowhere near as good as what he has shown in the backhalf in the past 12 months.

You haven't been to a game in the last month, have you?

I'll be honest. No I have not. I am a member and a disgruntled one at that. Rest assured I watch every game I don't go to. Does your presence at the ground for the Gold Coast demolition and Brisbane farce make your opinion more valuable than mine?

 

[Happy Hour]

Anyways, I'm sure Daw will do the talking for you all on Friday, one way or the other. I will be the first to give him credit if he deserves it.

and probably first to sticks the boots in if he doesnt live up to your high expectations.

So does that make you a fence sitter?

You see, I knew that was the case by your posting.

Yet another example of a BF poster making sweeping, unsupportable statements without having gone to games.

Disgruntled? F*** me.

Carry on, I'm done wasting bandwidth on you.

 

[Happy Hour]

So does that make you a fence sitter?

No. It means I'm not changing my opinion and that I'm happy for daw to prove me wrong on Friday if he's up to it.

Oh I see. It does make your opinion more valuable. I think I've supported my statements just fine. You are the one who seems to be relying on your presence at the last 2 games in order to boost your credibility. It proves you are passionate and easily pleased. That's about it.

Casting your pearls before swine around here HH

In the 70s a bloke called Snake Baker could mark and kick That was pretty much it for him The rest of the team was so good Snake didn't have to do much else

What are you disgruntled about, champ?

Indeed.

Let's make the mistake we've been making for most of his career and unsettle him again. We've got his contract sewn up so now we can screw with him.

 

[Drew23]

Was it Geelong in the pre season that mason wood played well against?

Wouldn't be surprised if there were no changes this week.

The only three could imagine are
mullet for McMahon
Firrito for wright
Wood for bastinac and given the sub vest

 

[ArjenTheGreat]

What are you disgruntled about, champ?

Disgruntled at 5-3

Apparently there are only 5 teams who can win the flag, if we win this week we'll be 4-0 against those same teams.

We lost 10 games by **** all last year and he's disgruntled this year.

 

[Ry009]

Not wanting to usurp the fine mods of our board, but HH made an opinion (however wrong it might be) in respectful fashion without pushing the same barrow that some posters can be guilty for.

Ease up a tad folks.

 

[Saintly31]

I don't agree with you Happy Hour about Daw being no good with no future, but nothing wrong with a different view.

I think Daw will become better in time as he has the tools, but I do worry away from Etihad at this stage especially if slippery.

Playing three tall fwds might be too many. Big question is who goes out if we go that way as per Syd game.

 

[King Corey]

Does your presence at the ground for the Gold Coast demolition and Brisbane farce make your opinion more valuable than mine?

It absolutely does, yes.

His presence means a membership validated on entry, which directly affects the revenue and viability of the North Melbourne Football Club.

It also means greater matchday attendance that means more appeal to sponsors and media outlets.

How do I ban Happy Hour? Sick of reading this shit.
