From memory Leon indicated he expected them too. I still have horrible memories of them ruñning out at Spotless in 2015 twice the size of our guys it seemed. That probably colours my judgement.

I think you're right. I always want him to play but Kenners had a great game Saturday in my view.

North are +30.5 at the line...?!?
Absolute rubbish. Someone is laundering money through the bookmakers
Unchanged - the General didn't come up and will play NEAFL
Patton corr and perryman the emergencies
Which is a bit odd. Would have thought setterfield ahead of perryman. Be interesting to see who the traveling emergency is.

Yeah, Harry and big surprise there. If not Setters, then Bm Bam I would have thought.
With none of the selected players under any injury clouds, maybe Harry goes for the experience. Possibly the reason for his selection as emergency so that Bam Bam and Setters both keep getting full games in the NEAFL and building form.
No need to push him in round 3. Get back to 100% and be there for the games that really matter
Its always nice to check in on team naming night and have the consistency of an unchanged team. The little sweeteners tonight were seeing Zac 'wild elbows' Dawson and James 'Im too good for an expansion club' Aish both copping the axe 
It will be interesting to see if North make a late change as they have what too me looks like a very tall side and also lacking some outside speed.
The selection of Durdin makes me think they assumed Patton would be selected and the NM posters have been singing about Clarke all off season and he is named as an emergency only.
Also with the 2 rucks makes me think the possibility that Goldstein will not get up for this game as Goldstein would be able to ruck most of the game with Brown and Daw to provide support.
I hope to be able to watch the game live

Surprised we aren't taking advantage of the loss of Thompson. But if Patton is 100% then don't risk it. The season is a marathon and I have ant Patton to be fit for the tail end

Yeah I'm pumped for this game and I think it's an important one. I dont think North are the weak side some are suggesting and they do have a good record in Hobart. We really need to win games like this and I'm expecting a contest.
On a personal note I'm also curious to see if the crowd are rusted on North supporters or at least in part just Aussie rules fans going to a game of AFL. Ticketek were offeŕring multiple bays to Giants supporters and we had a half sized bay of around 100 seats at AO. Add a separate location for Giants supporters in GA behind the cheersquad. May not be quite as heavily outnumbered ( hopefully).

The forecast is warm dry today and 50% chance of showers tomorrow. 25-30 k NW winds. Doesn't sound like bad conditiins for the talls to me? I guess if the showers eventuate and are on the heavy side ro make the conditions wet.
Those winds will be a big factor though
any idea who the travelling emergency is this week?
No hints from the listed NEAFL team. All three emergencies listed to play.

I just noted Aidan Corr's name is not on the listed team list for NEAFL, while Patton & Perryman are, so I presume he's travelled.

Ground looks about the same size as Spotless but with the concourse behind the bays.Only about half the area around is grandstands and one is about 6 rows deep. Not sure of capacity but it would be a fair bit less than Spotless I would think. Hard to pick the weather the Suns quite warm but the wind is starting to come up. Early yet of course but it may weĺl have an effect. Hasn't looked like rain.

Not sure of the quality of tje Photo looking into the sun but if you can make out the stand next to the Hill area, It's obvious they weren't planning a big cowd.
Ground announcement Bunts out and Corr in
From the looks of Buntine's knee at the training run yesterday, the late change might not be purely tactical...
