North Melbourne coach Dean Laidley says he may struggle to field 22 fit players in tomorrow's AFL match against St Kilda at Docklands.
The Kangaroos squad has been hit by illness and several players missed training today.
Laidley says he is not sure if they will recover in time for the game.
"We've probably got six or seven guys that have come down with a really strong bout of gastro and diarrhoea in the last 48 hours, so probably a few of them won't train today," he said.
"We'll meet this afternoon as to who is and who isn't going to play."

So the final teams are up and there's no changes?

 

[Judge Schmails]

Against the ladder leader....talk about dean luck.

I guess we'd prefer to go in with 4 or 5 dehydrated and fatigued and cramping players than.... Corey Jones.

 

[LeFtBehinD]

Sounds like a premature excuse again. Why even announce it to a press conference if there was going to be no changes.

 

[Bigeasy]

I hope they pick me before Shannon Watt.

 

[superbuzz]

macintosh, hale, warren and ziebell in doubt..
panic stations!

What are the rules in this type of situation. Does the Club have to use its three emergencies first before going beyond that? Who determines who is in fact ill. "6 - 7" players effected would have a real impact on team balance.

Depends on if the emergencies are sick as well, if they are available they would have to play or else we would get fined.

With McIntosh, Hale, Ziebell and Warren in doubt it is not surprising we have Goldstein, Jones and Harris on as emergencies. If we need more than 3 i dont think we get fined.

I reckon if Hamish has gastro, he was very brave wearing such wide legged shorts out to training today...

 

[Judge Schmails]

then again, leaking from the rear might sit perfectly with our current game plan.

Shit?

Our problem with the game plan is not leaking at the rear, it's getting a steady stream forward.

Looks like Spitter felt a bit of follow through after letting one rip...

Surely the club can afford rubber gloves for the trainers...

Will be interesting to see who will be the late changes tomorrow.

Well played.

nah he just looks that pale normally....

 

[gokangas]

This is a bit of a worry - will be interesting to see how many changes there are today.

 

[scottywiper]

Warren to miss, Edwards in.
Shame as Ben had been playing so well.
Better take the chance Azza.

Would've played Corey Jones. Edwards was pathetic last week.

 

[NMFC Est 1869]

Laidley would give anyone the shits

Ineffective. But hard to be effective when stationed in the goal square of a flooded forward line. Needs to be allowed to go outside the 50 arc to grab the pill when that happens.
