No change

 

[Kirby]

Is it just me or do North Melbourne look short?

 

[Ron]

Same team three weeks in a row, been awhile since i have seen that.

 

[ARDENSTREETforever]

Is it just me or do North Melbourne look short?

Yeah I thought the same thing, but i must admit I'm happy with the changes this week.
Nathan Thompson is a great player and plays the Dome well, but his form has been pretty ordinary in the past few weeks.

Grant and Jones are both quality players and are only going to strengthen the team.

Pies unchanged... I really thought Fraser would have been included this week, so pretty happy he's not as he loves playing us!!

Good luck for the game.
Should be a cracker.
Roos by 2.

There read about the 2 Small Fowards Thread Then

 

[alfio]

There hoping they can over run us i suspect we did look sore v Adelaide.

 

[Carnthe]

Still got Petrie (197cm), Hansen (197cm) and Hale (201cm) up forward though, so that's not a small forward line.

I can't see three blokes that tall all playing up forward at once though.

 

[Invigoration]

Chris Bryan; the elusive half forward flanker!


Benny Johnson can probably consider himself lucky

 

[Athomas]

Wellingham EMG again

 

[Maxyfan]

It makes me happy that we are confident enough to be able to keep the same team. I think a lot of the time there is replacements that are reactionary and not really helpful.

That being said I think Wellingham is stiff, but surely he will get his go eventually.

If Fraser gets it together and feels right then he should probably get in the team too.

It is always easier to pick the team when you have won a couple in a row.

 

[Chase the Ace]

Fair enough.

.

that's probably saying something about the form of both bryan and Wood, which has been excellent in the past few weeks.

as they say, the team is only as strong as who is just out of it.

 

[conodie05]

The key to this game is the first quarter. If we are chasing again like we did aginst the Crows then we could be in trouble. We need a decent start to snuff them out early.

 

[Magpies696]

were is fraser going to fit

 

[beez]

Wellingham EMG again

Yes, very much

Gonna have 2 non-scoring mids in my dreamteam and needed Wellingham to score

 

[shawthing09]

Happy with the team preforming and being rewarded for it. Their are two good players who would be pretty keen to get another chance and keep their spot. Their are also a fair few players in the side who would feel they have to preform to keep their spot.

It means we probably don't have the "who would we replace him with" excuse for players anymore mids have Shazza and even stanley pushing for their spot. Both rucks and too a lesser extent players like anthony and maxwell and goldsack are under pressure . Because a ruckmen could play foward forcing Anthony out or into the backline.
