Thread: North Melbourne pre-game discussion (with teams)

  1. #13
    Out: Playfair, Shaw, Bird. Playfair obviously with the injury, Shaw is costing us games so needs to go. Smith will replace him in the backline. Bird needs time in the reserves. TDL could also come out instead of Bird but I'd like to give him another game.

    In: Johnston, Meredith, Rohan. Johnston comes in due to his great form in the reserves, and also because White, Bradshaw, and Playfair all won't play. Meredith is a class player and is a direct replacement for Bird. Rohan comes in for Shaw playing on the half forward line.

    Your blokes should go in with a lot of confidence as they see that the Swans will crumble under a lot of pressure. That was definitely the pattern in the dying days of the Eade era and seems to have returned for the end of Roos' time. One of the few lapses throughout the Roos years was the wet game against the Tigers at the SCG when Richo lifted and the Swans gave up. And there have definitely been times over the past few years when the Kangaroos wanted it more and came away with the win in Canberra. Until yesterday I'd say the odds were 60:40 our way and I'd now say 70:30 your way.

    Lol bloody painkillers, that was Rohan. Though Lindsay could probably do a better job than some of those players.

    Out: Anyone with a heart the size of a split pea (most of the team yesterday)
    In: Anyone that can take a contested mark in the forward 50m.

    TDL should get another chance IMO. Looked extremely nervous and hesitant yesterday, he will get better when the nerves settle.

    "Being from rugby state"?????

    Seriously?????

    We're crap, and it's got absolutely nothing to do with rugby. (Although I did make the call two years ago that another session with a rugby league team will do wonders for our tackling!!)


    Norf have the ability to rip us a new one.

    Hate to see it happen after I've spent the morning in the emergency room trying to fix yesterday's tear.

    Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
    Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.

    No, it's called planning for the future. A Lazuras analogy would have been more accurate.
