Game Day JLT Community Series | Game 1 | North Melbourne vs Sydney - Coffs Harbour - Sunday 19 February 2017

[Twinkletoes]

The inclusions of Turner & Garner should mitigate these concerns.

We desperately missed them.

Also a quicker more willing to tackle midfield should help.

I reckon our midfield's work rate will have a big say in how things pan out also.

Yep. Our forward pressure has always been great, it's our midfield pressure that lets us down. When we turn it over in the middle and allow them clean disposal, there's nothing our backs can do.

North v Dangerfield last year is a perfect example.

If Turner can up the ante and contribute 25-30 goals....add that to the pressure he applies, he could be massive for us.

Garner could be in a different stratosphere completely, but.......

He has no body.

 

[Passmore]

He has no body.

Yeah, there's not of him. But he's tenacious, sticks tackles and hits hard.

Was making reference to the fact his body has completely failed him up to this point.

With Preuss bringing up the rear. Cue life flashing before the opponents' eyes.

If we could throw him at opposition players...

 

[Heaps of fun]

I weep for Garner. Would could have been.

 

[Psicosis]

My 22 for next week based on preseason form and injury...

FB - McDonald - Tarrant - VW
HB - Williams - Durdin - Thompson
C - Clarke - Ziebell - Macmillan
HF - Wood - Waite - Hrovat
FF - Thomas - McKay - Wagner

FOLL - Preuss - Cunnington - Higgins

INT - Mullett - Mountford - Swallow - Atley

 

[Firestarter]

Who's injured enough for VW to take his spot?

 

[Heaps of fun]

My 22
FB: McDonald Durdin EVW
HB: M. Williams Tarrant Macmillan
C: Hibberd Cunnington Atley
HF: Thomas Waite Wood
F: Turner McKay Wagner
Foll: Preuss Ziebell Higgins
Int: Swallow Dumont Clarke Hrovat

Does anyone know if there is an extended bench for the pre-season this year? Mountford and Fordham probably included if there are six on the bench.

 

[Gasometer]

Who plays is irrelevant.

Going on form Scotts will flip the team at half time.

69 point loss.

Not over yet. Many of us thought Robbie Tarrant wasn't going to make it either. Give him time.

It's true. I think the club can give him a couple more years. We're hardly drowning in talent ATM.

Given it's still summer I'm very confident all games will have extended benches and likely no interchange cap.

Hope that somebody was able to rub off the names of Boomer and Petrie that had been written in permanent texta on that magnetic whiteboard.

Has 2 more years on his contract.

 

[osaka mick]

[Arden]

Anyone going? Ill be driving down from the Gold Coast!!

Am considering the road trip down from the Coast as well.

 

[Gasometer]

I think capacity is 4999.

You might need tickets?

Otherwise you will spend the afternoon at the Big Banana.

 

[Gasometer]

I am looking forward to the Commentary.

Mentions of retirements x 50.

Where do you expect North to finish ...16th to 18th....written off.

And the inevitable Ben Cunningham.

You forgot, something, something, Lindsay Thomas is a blight on ...

Inbetween umpteen off topic convo's about who did and who didn't attend Buddy's wedding during the off season. It should be a real hoot!

I'm an unashamed fan of Taz's, no doubt, but I think he needs another solid year this year to legitimately say he 'made it'.
