Preview North Melbourne vs St Kilda 30 July Sat at 7:25pm

[saint66au]

All the pressure on them..6 weeks noone expected us to be 9th and in contention..whereas 6 weeks ago noone expected North to be 8th and struggling. Add in the Boomer game hype...and all eyes are on the Roos. Barring an absolute smashing and/or a lot of injuries..weve not got much to lose at all.

 

[StKing11]

Thts your opinion but id take goldy wells and tarrant before steven!

 

[bergholt]

Sinclair getting dropped is fair enough but I'm not sure Minchington will be much better.

You don't think he'll have more than three touches?

 

[StKing11]

So Minchington had 6 touches, got dropped for the Dogs game, didn't play at any level, and then comes straight back in.

Why?

Didn't get dropped, Richo mentioned in a presser that he needed a week off.

If it turns out you need to pre-book, but don't want to fork out a lot in case you don't make it, you should check this out:

I remember back at the time of our last ascent of the ladder the transition from hunter to hunted was a little tricky. Right now we are in the best position to be in: white hot form with little pressure/expectation. Gonna be a lot tougher next year.

Didn't get dropped, Richo mentioned in a presser that he needed a week off.

He was still listed as omitted.

Don't see the point in bringing him back in at this time, surely Templeton has earned a shot.

Nobody in last weeks VFL team earned a spot

 

[TheEnsign]

Quite like Minch back in. His delivery from the midfield to inside 50 is consistently good, it's something we've not had enough of all year.

 

[FQFjt]

Hopefully with a week off, Minch will be able to get more minutes on the ground. He is a very valuable ball user and pressure player. Very happy.

 

[joop]

Pretty sure one bloke said hickey would take goldy to the cleaners and another said hickey has goldys measure

I said it, it was a joke. Calm your farm precious.

And has the second best sidestep in our side

I rated Tommy Lee pretty highly considering the game/conditions. Took a few marks, really kicked cleanly and cleared the ball out well when kicking into the wind. Thought he was fantastic actually. Also liked that Eli adjusted to the conditions and tried to apply pressure around stoppages. But overall yeah, can't take away much from that game, what a shocker.

Only 1 will be AA this year and he ain't wearing blue and white.

 

[TheEnsign]

Whaaaaaat. There's a legion of broken ankles and a GotY contender that says Gresh.

he said second. I was gonna say the same thing

 

[FlyingSledghamer]

So Minchington had 6 touches, got dropped for the Dogs game, didn't play at any level, and then comes straight back in.

Why?

Minch was rested

 

[freebloke]

So Minchington had 6 touches, got dropped for the Dogs game, didn't play at any level, and then comes straight back in.

Why?

Probably had some physical issues.. he was only on for 70 odd minutes in the game.. so roughly under 60% TOG. They obviously didn't want to advertise them.

 

[TheEnsign]

he said second. I was gonna say the same thing

Oopsy. I was skimming and totally missed the 'second' part. Left_Billings, you have my humble apologies.

Well you are an idiot and know SFA about football.
Wells is a crock, tarrant - lol and Goldy is run of the mill.
Steven better than the first two and cant compare to the last ad they are so different.

 

[thomas_m18]

North keep talking absolute s**t about these 12 wins, we had 12 wins in 2012 and missed finals and Port had 12 last year. Hope they get to 12 wins and we make it anyway so they can shove it. Absolute s**t they had that as any sort of benchmark.

 

[Joffaboy]

Even if we beat the quackers, I find it hard to believe we wont drop a game in the last four.

I bet we would even beat Sydney and let someone like Richmond or Carlton beat us

Still gets us in the 8 if North don't win enough
