Preview Preview/Changes v Lions

[Boomerfan99]

4 goodbyes and a debut

Isnt Anderson contracted for another year?

 

[Groin guru]

4 goodbyes and a debut

Nah jed and mullet are still both required. Jed to train as a defender this pre-season.

 

[remfan101]

Brisbane Lions v North Melbourne at the Gabba, 2.10pm AEST

BRISBANE LIONS
No change

NORTH MELBOURNE
In: L.Hansen, L.Thomas, A.Mullett, J.Anderson, B.McKay
Out: J.Ziebell (foot), T.Garner (foot), D.Nielson (concussion), B.Preuss (shoulder), C.Zurhaar
New: Ben McKay (Gippsland U18)

Will Fordham has been absolutely robbed of one last chance imo. Lachie/Lindsey should not be ahead of him on performance, I would have loved to see him get an opportunity before he is inevitably delisted. Why keep him for 3 years otherwise?

 

[KangaFan35]

Sore back

Injured back.

Yeah that's what I mean, he's a bit stiff in the back
Nah didn't realise that just saw the omitted, fair enough then will be good to see LT forward again.

 

[KangaFan35]

Nah jed and mullet are still both required. Jed to train as a defender this pre-season.

Mullett especially, had a pretty good season. Don't think Thomas is done yet either imo.

I disagree I reckon LT is done at AFL level until proven otherwise, he barely set the VFL on fire this year

Mullet is handy. Needs another pre season

If we aren't Tanking I would like to see what tanking looks like.

 

[Firestarter]

If we aren't Tanking I would like to see what tanking looks like.

Don't think that's entirely fair. From what I read our injury list stretches as long as *'s lies.

 

[winalotroos]

Don't think that's entirely fair. From what I read our injury list stretches as long as *'s lies.

You may be right, but I am sure if we were playing finals you would see a lot more best 22 in the team.

 

[chubbspeterson]

If we were tanking we'd have selected Larkey and Williams instead of Hansen and LT.

 

[Firestarter]

You may be right, but I am sure if we were playing finals you would see a lot more best 22 in the team.

Can't argue with that.

 

[Jindrrk]

You may be right, but I am sure if we were playing finals you would see a lot more best 22 in the team.

Same with any team though. Players get managed but I wouldn't necessarily call it tanking. We have 2018 to think about rather than run someone into the ground to possibly hinder them.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Not exactly inspiring.

 

[Jindrrk]

Brad named Lachie and Thompson just to have a larrf. Havent played for 6 weeks but he's in it for the LOLs.

 

[trooroo4life]

Will Fordham has been absolutely robbed of one last chance imo. Lachie/Lindsey should not be ahead of him on performance, I would have loved to see him get an opportunity before he is inevitably delisted. Why keep him for 3 years otherwise?

Would love to know why we haven't even got a glimpse at this bloke. Finds the pill, has pace... must have some serious flaws. A weird one, form has been deserving at times but never seems anywhere near the 22.

 

[Ohhh Errol]

What if brown has a delayed onset of concussion symptoms? At this point of the season, is it a risk we need to take?

 

[astrovic]

Sore back

So quite stiff.

(Got a sore back atm, can't ben dover)

 

[shimaburnsgrieg]

Sore back

He is listed as an emergency - perhaps we had only 24 fit players this week.

 

[winalotroos]

Same with any team though. Players get managed but I wouldn't necessarily call it tanking. We have 2018 to think about rather than run someone into the ground to possibly hinder them.

I agree, but managing for 2018 or just not putting the best on the ground is about the something.

Mind you I am happy we are giving game time to the guys that are the future of the club.

And if we happen to end up with the first draft pick I won't be unhappy

Also noticed McKay listed at CHF, never really gave this attention does it mean anything? Expecting him to play back if that's where he's been for the last month or so.

Is there a reason Zurhaar is named here when injured? I know it's probably something complicated.

 

[Roos Addick]

Like the changes.

Hope LT been told it's his last game and bags 7!

* the draft order, I really don't wanna finish last.

 

[Saintly_]

LOL our changes.

Massive tank (quite rightly) and final game for LT/Lachie.

Welcome Dusty and Kelly, enjoy the premises.

 

[Saintly_]

**** the draft order, I really don't wanna finish last.

Well it would be very stupid to think that.
