Prediction Round 22, 2024: Changes vs North Melbourne

[Miguel Sanchez]

When was the last time we beat North in Tassie?
I'll wait...

2012 but we’ve only played them twice there since.

 

[Grahame]

Perfectly fine with Gaff getting two games to reach AFL life membership

Thought something was in the works when he was withdrawn from the WAFL game but was thrown by the 297/298 qualifying games. Thought it was unlikely he’d play a retirement game at MDMA

Turns out it’s only 2 games so he plays North before a send off game against Carlton at home

Deserves it

Yes interesting one. Not opposed but obviously no hard and fast rules could make it unfair.

So if you’re in Gaff’s position but we’re contending then he doesn’t get to 300.

Or if in his current situation but he’s only on say 293 or 295 does he then get 5 to 7 charity games?

Not sure

Gaff against the team that wanted him

They looking for a proven wingman?

Think I remember that game - Cox with the 2 towering marks, one at each end?

Forget sometimes how good Cox was.

21 Disposals,15 Marks,3 Goals and 215 ranking points in that game

 

[TY24]

umm.... ok

JD is contracted for next year, and likely to make 300 games. Even as not the first choices forwards, there's bound to be times OA and JW are out next season and we need depth.

Cripps won't make 300, no one has even suggested it.

Yeah, this decision could cost us finals.

One of the all time great individual performances.

Really? Only twice? Perhaps Im conflating games against the Hawks but I thought we met them almost every second season down there.

Still, we are shot ducks once we cross Bass Strait. Just hope we bring the campaigner like we did last Friday night.

 

[Doashuey]

When was the last time north beat a team in Tassie that wasn’t Gold Coast?

I dont know but lets just reminisce for a moment, about that glorious day last year when you last beat the Suns down there.

nick larkey really didnt want harley reid there

North get talked up, we get talked down but surely besides Tassie we have a great show in this. They are leaky as defensively especially down Logue again.

It’s such a funny thought that in a week we have Carlton at home. If we get up this week and the Hawks pip the Blues (another 50/50 game) we could get back home next week chasing 3 in a row with them looking to keep their finals chances alive! Let it be so!

 

[twce13]

ill never forget that dog boomer harvey whacking the ball out of the players hands then complaining to the ump and getting a 50m pen. In the 4th at a crucial time too. that was a tassie special, few kicks went backwards from the wind.

played them at docklands and their crowd started clapping when he got the ball

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

I assume they’re flying out today (although there doesn’t seem to be any direct flights leaving), hopefully we see some news leak out from the airport.

They had their chance to offer something decent after they got the free pick 3

The milk was an opened Hi-Lo and 3 weeks past expiry though.

i should add that they also offered us a 'pretty please' which I believe also came with a cherry

 

[squashface]

Just realised I’m on for preview this week. Will pull something together this evening

They are already off

Xerri too? Should've taken the deal.

Looks like the same Embraer that Freo had when the dunnies packed it in. Hopefully our blokes used the facilities before boarding.

 

[Mulldogg]

Teachers pet Hutchinson straight back in it seems.
