Pittard? Lol

It wasn't a suggestion he should be dropped.

My point was they are "small" backs, which Wrighty is as well.

My bad. He has been rock solid

Pittard can stay right where he is, doing some very solid work so far.

Yep, he's been good.

 

[kaboom kid]

Doubt he is being dropped.

That has to be a troll right?

 

[XU1-ROO]

Don’t even bother to watch Brad Scott’s media conferences anymore. He’s lost my interest.

 

[Junk yard]

Clowns in the background training for NFL? LDU, Higgins and Bailey should be the only ones allowed to throw a ball, the rest of these campaigners should probably be practicing some basic skills.

 

[Bigeasy]

Can't wait for the non event which is selection tomorrow.

 

[The acurate one]

In's; Anderson, Wood

Out's; Campbell Tyson ( imo)

Garner trained today pulled out last week due to being tight, not sure if that meant was concerned about injury or it was his shout.

Not sure why you wait for tomorrow

The CONFIRMATION

The CONFIRMATION

What confirmation.......

a) we're shit
b) out of our depth
c) it's all been a ruse and there's only one Scott brother and he coaches us after he's done with the Geelong game
d) that we'd be great at deck chair shuffling
e) that the club thinks we're all morons
f) all the ****en above

Just watched the presser and again....Brad's leaning on the synergy excuses for the teams start to the season.

 

[Groin guru]

For those that want avs

HONK HONK

CLOWN WORLD

Was this bard's presser on insta that everyone has been going on about?

That's probably how serious Brad is seen now. He's basically memeing the same rhetoric over and over. Fools mission

No doubt Brad was stung by the internal criticism that has him only scoring 7.5/10 for the season so far.

"It's probably taken a little bit longer for us to jell as a team than I anticipated," the coach told reporters on Wednesday.

"Bringing in seven or so players … I thought that we could bring them together a little bit quicker than we have, so I've still got, in conjunction with our coaches, some work to do on that.

"I don't think we can accelerate it any more than just keep on working on our education and how we want to play (and) reinforcing the positives, but also holding everyone accountable to the way we want to play…

Yeah Brad, another 30 match pre-season and then you'll tease enough just in time to get another extension.

Mason Wood is also set to be named in the North squad if he sufficiently recovers from the calf tightness that ended his night before half-time in the VFL last Saturday night.

Wood is one of the options, along with third-year forward Nick Larkey, to come in and help support Ben Brown, with Tom Campbell's position looking shaky.

Brown received criticism this week for his reduced output going back to round 18 last season, as well as for his perceived lack of defensive pressure.

"(Todd) Goldstein's a high game time ruckman and he plays his best when he plays that way," Scott said.

"We've got to weigh up, 'Do we get more benefit in the ruck versus a genuine key forward to support Browny?'.

"I wish I had an absolute black and white answer on that, but the truth is I'm still trying to work on the mix myself, so we've got some work to do.

"We'll potentially continue to tinker with the side until we click, but … we've got more options available to us, arguably, than we've had in a very long time, we've just got to get that mix right."

Scott said defending better was a priority, especially from clearance losses, which has been a weakness for North Melbourne so far.

I figured this out last week, he is still pondering it today. It was sheer idiocy playing Campbell against Hawthorn.

The only reason we're hearing any of this is to quell supporter backlash.

Changes: Nil

Cats have a few new players this season - they all seem to be "gelling" ok?????

Crows last round. I don't reckon they'll make too many changes except Seedsman).

 

[Engimal v3]

Every recent FB post regarding Scott has at least a few comments saying "play Ahern you dog". Not sure who started,l it, but so ****ing funny.
