Preview Round 19, 2021 | North Melbourne vs Carlton @ Marvel Stadium | Saturday, 24 July @ 1:45pm

[Lomas]

If Jed and Cunners are the ins there's no way Charlie gets dropped, it'd have to be Phillips

Is this now Saturday arvo?

 

[The Nostradamus]

Would give Jed at least 1 more scratch match

in 3 weeks he’s only played a half in the vfl and 1 scratch match and prior to that a long lay off

just Mahony and Atley out this week
Unofficial Debut Eddie in mahonys place and bring cunners in

 

[zoomba23]

Looking at this game, stop McKay, Walsh and Saad. If those three win their matchups convincingly, we lose. If we put time into them and negate their impact, we win I reckon. Carlton barely have any others worth mentioning. Cripps maybe but last time I checked he was still moving like a short sighted geriatric

[franjon]

He’s not that bad, in my opinion a depth player but not that bad

He is fine, until he has to use the ball.

[Le Grille]

He is fine, until he has to use the ball.

I reckon he can sort some of that out, learn his limitations

 

[DERRINALPHIL]

Scott did a fine job on Rich (Brissie) and will be first in line for Saad.

 

[Star]

Last time against the blues he was asked to negate a player - he didn’t take it to well

First I’ve heard of this

 

[GoldSoundz]

Re Polec I’m not ruling out a HFF role. I think he can get into dangerous positions and has the skills to kick accurately.
Downhill Skier but let’s give him a chance to do what he does best.

 

[Firebat]

I'd be plonking Polec on a wing to be frank. It's his best position and we'll need him there next year when Dumont leaves (mentally preparing myself for that ).

LMac on one wing doing the defensive running and Polec on the other delivering inside 50 is probably what Noble wants to experiment with.

I'm also in favour of experimenting with Tazza forward for a quarter or so - I just want to see how it looks before the years up. I reckon McKay and Walker can match up okay against the Carlton bigs.

Is this now Saturday arvo?

Yes AFL worried an extra days rest might have a positive impact on our performance, can’t have the Tankers missing the 8

 

[Works atErrol St]

Has Garner played recently. Can he come in for Zurhaar?

Check out the injury update, no Tay Tay, Zurhahaha should be good to go, also Anderson and Kyron but as with everything injury wise who really knows?

Injury Update (July 21, 2021)

both Coach Emeritus Scamper and Coach Sissy Rose say the following:

 

[king of the road]

Tuner to Saad?

 

[Horizons_00]

Be interesting to see if we bring in a few players this weekend. Jed and Polec potentially and then even Kyron could come in.

No VFL is going to have a big impact on match fitness though

If mahoney is in, then he is the pressure forward to handle saad type. Mcdonald to walsh, mackay play on mackay.

no point leaving polec on the outter, he is one of highest paid player and he is dominating in the vfl.

Polec in to tag Cripps?

leave cripps, he just back from injury, not in red hot form, walsh on the other hand is in form.
