Preview Round 2, 2019 - North Melbourne vs. Brisbane Lions

[Gadzorks]

I hope this fan expresses how the players feel as well - heads will go down early if they lose control of the match.

If we win this week it won’t be based on anything Scott has brought to the table, it will either be the players have played out of their skins or the Lions have ****** up.

Having Brad Scott as you coach is handicapping the potential of this club.

I've NFI then.

I would say that Jesse Grewer has just stuffed up that one.
I think they only travel with 2 emergencies don’t they?

I'm tempted to swap back to Brisbane.... Ugh stupid Tipping comp.

Mate, Brisbane are certs this week!

Good to see our opposition reacting to us at the selection table by bringing in another ruckmen.

Mason Wood has been good against us a couple of times so glad to see him as an out as well.

I am perplexed. Did he even watch your side play last week?

If he's brought in Tom Campbell to kick down the line, then he's not coaching North, he's coaching Brisbane.

Their selections are partly why I've swapped back to us. How do they expect to win in the midfield battle?

Hi Snake, good to see you on the good guys board instead of the other s**t fight section of BF I usually see you. What was Scott Thompson's injury, is he coming in underdone, what was his pre season like?

I had Ahern pencilled in for you guys. Why did he not get recalled?

He was suspended

Shows how much North news I follow.

Brent Harvey is playing his 600th game against us

1 week suspension mate.

1) So did I.
2) No one knows and no one's saying. The whisper is that it's his defensive work rate.

North has dropped mason wood and brought in Thompson and Tom Campbell (a ruck). So they’ve gone pretty tall.

Hmmmm thought they did reviews! WC were tall and well look what happened.

 

[a mayes ing]

As unfortunate as it is, l am glad Daw isn't playing against us. Was mauling us last time with intercept after intercept.

 

[jjami15]

Reminds me of 3 on 3 back at high school which was a long time ago

I suspect Campbell is there to play forward and draw Walker in to defence. Hodge & Rich aren't exactly quick and Atley will curb one of either Bailey or Witherden. Gardiner will take Ziebell. I think the idea is to draw away any assisting cover for Andrews on Brown, and to slow Brisbane down at that end of the ground on the rebound.

Campbell will occasionally chop out Goldstein for 4-6 minutes a quarter. Goldstein does have elite endurance for a ruck (96% TOG last week, whilst holding his own against Darcy & Lobb), so he'll keep Martin & McInerney occupied.

At least that's my take.

Reckon Zorko or Neale will get the Brady Rawlings tag?

Walker always plays defence...

Walker always plays defence...

Campbell keeps him occupied. Walker was your 2nd highest bloke in 1%ers last week.

Andrews's 17 was flat out amazing, but if Browny is presenting well then I hope we can limit his impact..

IIRC Harris broke the record for 1%'s last year or the year before
