Preview Changes vs North

[Leon]

Goldstein will have approximately a zillion hit outs this week

 

[Pannalstaroz]

Wearing that shirt, nobody's going to tell you anything

[grassman75]

There ain't too many premiership players in any of the numbers TheHoneyBadger.

I reckon it will be Tommy, however don't be surprised to see someone like Captain James Cook. I reckon he could be a really inspirational left field choice due to his exploits in 1997, a season which this one is currently resembling

 

[Doggies7]

Zaine was listed at 85kg at the start of the year. Could have easily added a few more kgs and a bit of strength from then between weights, diet and VFL games.

Waite is a senior, bigger guy and stronger of course but only listed at 93 kgs....

 

[Zeno The Great]

So who will present Zaine's jumper?

Will be hard to beat Danny Southern's presentation whoever it is, that was a real tear jerker.

Might be Greg Eppelstun or Mr Glass Tom Williams even perhaps Kym Koster. Don't think James Cook, Paul Dooley, Nathan Saunders or Scott Bassett will really cut it

 

[ttomred17]

Am I stating the obvious here in saying this weeks selections is the confirmation Minson is GAWWWWWWWWWN?

Norths backline is incredibly slow (seriously, have a look at them), if we win the midfield battle our forwards will run rings around them. Guaranteed.

 

[King Bont]

Get me a bucket.

Really?... I would of thought spending 4 weeks in the reserves would be enough for him. He's payed his due

 

[Leon]

Really don't like our strategy in the ruck for the games against Freo, West Coast and Norf

So this week we'll have Roughie (Backman, decent relief ruckman) and Redpath (forward and not suited as relief ruckman) up against the best ruckman in the league

Fun times

I really hope not Grassman, in all my years had nothing but good things to say about every dogs player i have met, always polite and courteous, he was the one exception. An absolute tosser of a bloke.

 

[Dogs_R_Us]

Greg Eppelstun is the only 100 gamer in #12, no premiership players.

I'm not sure. Maybe Williams?

 

[Pannalstaroz]

I've said previously Zaine will be a superstar - he gets to prove me right on Saturday. I could watch Lukas Webb kick the footy for hours, he will be a star. Seriously, although I expect Norf to win, I'm also really confident we can run them off their legs. Should be a belting game.

No mate, that's Scott Clayton . He's a bit older than me.

 

[stefoid]

Z. Cordy and Hamling are light, but very long and athletic. Wood will be there too to help in the air. It's about the defensive structure which was killing teams before the Eagles game, not the 1 on 1s. Get that right and we win, with a big help due to how much running power we will have.

Zaine is only listed at 191cm

Is that right? Some people were talking him up as a key back, but thats a little short for a stormtrooper.

 

[Dogs_R_Us]

Haha, have never seen him before, we miss a lot here on Sirius.

 

[Gmod23]

Now we have a team to really like. Zaine will be great.
Perhaps T Boyd for Redpath and Robert for zanie, would be all that are missing from our best 22 this year.

 

[Gmod23]

Was wondering why you were criticizing yourself/Clayton! [emoji6]

 

[Pannalstaroz]

I think he's 194cm; Dally said he'd grown.

 

[premiers2017]

I wonder if T Boyd will be a late inclusion to help in the ruck

 

[immortalmike]

Fight me Mike.

I'm not sure. Rat's more polished, but he's totally melted even at VFL level. I'm backing the kid in 100% but it just doesn't seem to be his year.

Nah what you lack in size you more than make up in feisty, so I'll just back away slowly.

 

[X_box_X]

I am quietly confident of a win. I am hearing thoughts echoed that their forwards will be too tall for us, but I can see that working too our advantage. Due to our defensive pressure, it's not often we get out marked like in previous years. The way North can exploit us is by quickly kicking the ball direct inside 50, but that won't be easy if our midfield are disciplined and defensively brutal in the contest. Pressure, pressure, pressure.

Also, if they don't take a mark, it falls to ground level and we have superior reaction time, are quicker by hand and foot and spread quickly. Watch our rebounding defenders hurt them going the other way and launch attack after attack.

North will need to be prepared to run more than they usually would.

 

[fargy]

Wouldn't be surprised if we play Hamilton & Fuller next week. We'll find a way to upgrade Kelly. And we'll play Libba and tell him to just chill in the goal square. Have to be fair and give everyone a go!

 

[King Bont]

For gods sake I really hope so!!! He's done. His time in the VFL and now it's about more experience in the senior side leading up too finals

 

[pappy]

Williams will most likely dislocate his shoulder at the jumper presentation!

 

[go you pups]

I really hope Geelong and Adelaide win this week while we get pumped, then Geelong pumps Adelaide and Brisbane Bradbury's a win against us and we finish 9th with the youngest team in the comp = easy draw next season

Well seems like that currently lol
