Preview Round 8, 2023: North Melbourne v St.Kilda - Marvel Stadium, Sunday 7th May, 4:40PM AEST

Is anyone else really uneasy about this game?

I feel like we're going to fall over the line, which will feel extremely hollow.

Pretty sure Clarko will have them fired up after their dismal showing last week, and LDU is a big in for them. We've really been struggling to get it out of the middle the last few games.

Ross gets really into his assistants the week we play bottom 5 sides.

Expects them to ensure their lines are mentally ready to go.

We are gone, no selection integrity, Ross has lost the players and the Pou has narcolepsy.

Who's he play for?o

My partner would never play with the Pies, we were out at a bar on Swan street one evening nearly 6 years ago and there was a table of Collingwood players there...She got a selfie with them for a friend who is a mad Magies fan, Steele S. proceeded to take a selfie, with her phone and try to introduce her to a young bloke at the table that had had a rising star non.. a few weeks before.. She told them all she was a proud Swan..

We lost last week too. Why wouldn’t we also be fired up?
Just want the 4 points. Don’t overly care about the margin.
If we go into the game thinking we’ll thrash them, that’s a problem.

Years of built up hopes and dreams only to end in disappointment and/or heartbreak have me conditioned to expect the worst.

Agree I expect to see a different Saints outfit this week too. 9 day break should hopefully revitalise our legs.

 

[Ephemeral Hope]

I like Hill at CHF.

just you wait he'll make Ben Mckay look silly

 

[Ephemeral Hope]

Coops!

Very interesting timing.

May suggest that we think Max and Hammer are too much of the same thing and would prefer the Max/Coops combo.

chirping back in to suggest Cooper Sharman is our Charlie Curnow. 193 cm and agile to back up our 200cm forward in King. We could probably fit in our 195cm Jeremy Cameron (Matthew Alison) when back from injury too

 

[Tommy Wigs]

Interesting VFL team. No Zones, Lethers mentioned that he’d play VFL in this round about a week ago. But most interestingly - debut game for one Tomoya Owens.

To the Forwards

Mate I'm still traumatised from bombing it long to a group of manlets last week, we need the Sharmanator roaming the paddock

 

[Remboy]

isn’t that Cairnsman’s screensaver?

Geez I'm on fire lately, what a footy brain I have. Said Cordy would be out and would you look at that.

As always feel free to get in touch if you want to brush up on your knowledge of the game xx

Genius, worked out that a witches hat wasn't what Lyon had in mind as a role. Proper character acting display though. Not many would have realised that he wasn't a plastic cone.

Smooth as a sherrin no doubt about it.

Keeping your own scoreboard is never a sign of crippling insecurity.

Jones was back with the rehab group this morning. Did a lot of sprinting around the boundary, didn’t appear to be hampered at all.

 

[Cairnsman]

FINALLY!!!

A genuine utility player in our side, someone who can play back, forward, ruck, wing and pinch hit as the sub.

$19 GA tix via this link here:

(Fyi found the link on the marvel stadium site here: North Melbourne v St Kilda - Marvel Stadium )


Tickmaster site seems to be bollocks- sometimes comes up.saying no $19 tix available..
I just clicked across to the 'best seats' tab rather than the 'lowest price' tab.
For some dumb reason- that allowed me to buy the $19 tix.

Thanks Mate! You are a Champion!!!

PS Still working at 10.35 PM Friday night.

Yes but an even more simple fact is that Zaine Cordy doesn't have some magical superpower where only he can do this incredible thing and drag a defender away from the other forwards.

We could train a labrador to do the same thing in about 5 mins.

Plus the opposition Coaches are a wake up...so the opposition backs as not being dragged away.

Cordy is then also not winning the ball. That is a lose, lose equation.

 

[stfan]

Under the dumpster fire 'gameplan' of richo and ratts: instructing our guys to bomb unpredictable hail marys inside 50 onto the heads of outnumbered, static tall forwards...yeah you are dead right.

We now have an actual gameplan that involves us trying to hit actual targets inside 50.

Marshall has never played forward under a system like that.

I reckon it's a safe bet he'll be a much more dangerous forward under ross.

Can't hurt to try, especially given it would only be at the expense of cordy getting dropped.

The problem is that Marshall has never really been taught how to actually play like a key forward. No leading patterns etc.

Look at Gawn now, the Dees have really polished up his game when he is forward so that he plays like a forward now. We need to teach Marshall the craft of being a forward, so that when he is forward that he will be more dangerous.
