Be nice to do a Richmond and have an upset. North faltering against lesser teams as well.
Plenty will come in here and push the "tanking" bandwagon.

The only thing I want to see from the last handful of games is our developing players given a proper run. I liked that Mick has given Johnson a couple of full games, but why won't he do the same for Graham? He keeps bringing him in, starting him as the sub and then dropping him the following week. Give the kid a chance!
Title: Re: Blues V North - Pre game thread
Post by: Professer E on July 15, 2014, 07:44:28 pm
I'll play.
In an ideal world I hope we play a heap of kids who contribute well, and fight it right out to the finish line, but it won't happen like that. We won't win, and you guys know we won't, which is a shame because if we were serious we could roll this mob.
Although I decided to cut back on my AFL content this year I have had the misfortune through chance to see a bit of a club I despise in the kangas. Those of us who sat through the 24 goal loss back in the days will understand.
Expect rotten treatment from officialdom this week, its a given for every Friday night game we have against this mob. It's normally worth about 4 goals.
There are two North Melbournes... a lazy, slow, skill deficient, one way running side that uses the ball worse than we do, and another version that rips you to pieces through the middle.
If the first side fronts up we will be more than competitive. If the second fronts up we will lose by 20 goals.
Frankly I don't see a lot of difference between North and us... we both have patchy work rates and can be scintillating or awful within short periods. They also have a lot of slow players but unlike us they seem to get away with them.
There are a number of players that constantly give us trouble and I don't understand why.
1. Petrie is one. In the past I have watched tall backs, including Henderson, take this bloke to the cleaners. One was Henderson and he flogged him with his mobility... yet I have seen Petrie kick bags on Henderson... I reckon Rowe can match this bloke in the air but when it hits the ground will be a concern. 2. Boomer Harvey is still a critical component to that mob winning games. Wake up Mick. He is fast, rat cunning, sly and suckers cheap frees. I think he leads the AFL in score assists? He needs to be watched like a hawk by somebody who is prepared to sit on him and run with him all day. He also gets frustrated with close attention and can get a bit err, distracted. I would be tempted to sit maybe Robinson on him in a defensive role, yet tell him to run forward an attempt to hurt the other way at any opportunity. It is critical to shut this bloke down. 3. Lindsay Thomas. I have no idea who we have to sit on this bloke but they need to play him close and smart and be aware of what this guy does. If he gets of the chain it will get ugly.
I'll be watching you Mick and await with interest what strategies you will put in place against this mob. I know we are light on for personnel but how's about something innovative for once?

MILESTONES: Chris Yarran - Playing 100th game, Mitch Robinson - Playing 100th game, Lachie Henderson - Playing 100th game, David Ellard - Playing 50th game
Based on that North by 87 points.
Title: Re: Blues V North - Pre game thread
Post by: Professer E on July 17, 2014, 07:05:43 pm
I'd have persisted with Johnson as well. Add a hungry Robbo, a real goal kicking option and hoping Wood can give a fair account of himself... lot better side this week.
Title: Re: Blues V North - Pre game thread
Post by: ElwoodBlues1 on July 17, 2014, 07:09:47 pm
Ellard should have been dropped and delisted at years end...is this is how we develop players ? ie Johnson.....played well the week before but had a tough game vs the best list in history according to Mick then gets the flick...surely he deserved another game to show what he learned vs the Swans?
Warnock got dropped?....about 2 seasons too late...hope Wood goes well but Goldstein will be tough work....
North by 27 points.......
Title: Re: Blues V North - Pre game thread
Post by: PassIt2Carrots on July 17, 2014, 07:28:09 pm
He had 5 disposals for the game. I remember you having a go at me a few weeks back because I wanted Graham in and you and Thry tried to tell me we'd be damaging our culture by playing players that didn't deserve it. I guess that has changed now.
Title: Re: Blues V North - Pre game thread

BTW we will win this game with all these milestones. North have won two in a row as well they are ripe for the picking.

Agree about Blaine and Ellard - the wrong guy was dropped. Strange call. Wood is a big gamble v. Goldstein I must say, I hope he goes OK though. A tough test for the boys.

About time Warnock was shown the door. He's had the first ruck all season and still offers nothing but a cold draft.
A switched on Robbo with Ding Dong in the guts could be interesting.
Davey can count his lucky stars after last weeks (another) fizzer.

First time all year I did a fist pump when I saw he side. Not because of the ins but because of the one out. Spud Warnock. Thank the sweet lord. As far as I'm concerned Wood only has to break even with Goldstein in the ruck take a couple of marks and give off a few handballs to be ahead of that useless piece of carp.

Warnock had to be dropped this week, he was terrible against the Swans. Sends a terrible message if performances like that mean a player gets to hold their place in the team.
The upside of Warnock being dropped is we'll only get flogged by 40-points now. ;D

Best piece of selection work all year by dropping that pea-hearted chump Warnock.....who is CLEARLY the worst ruckman running around in the AFL right now. Rapt for Cam Wood & will be a monty to keep his place after tomorrow night's game - no matter how bad he plays, such were the depths of Warnock's form.
If Wood can show a bit over the next few weeks, I'd be moving heaven & earth to rid the Club of Warnock come season's end, I'm so over that 206cm chop....

The problem is that Kreuzer has missed so much footy. Watch games when he's in the middle and we win more clearances. Relief ruckman like Levi do perform roles admirably, but we miss Kreuze.

And how would Wood getting slaughtered be any different to what Warnock has been dishing up for most of this year? I'll bet my last dollar Wood will give us 100% more around the ground (i.e. in general play) than that banana Warnock. You're not convinced that Warnock's appalling form hasn't been a massive contribution to our woeful season??? Purlease, now I've heard it all.......

Promoting Wood and dropping Warnock is a good decision.
We are effectively a man down each week, particularly of late, with Warnock which you just simply cannot afford.
Good to see Nick Graham named on the wing, hopefully a full game for him with 20+ disposals of good quality. Some tackles, contested ball gets and handball receives would be handy too.

Post by: nathbear on July 18, 2014, 09:23:31 am
Call me depressing if you like, but I just can't shake this image of Petrie booting 10+ goals this week.
North are playing outstanding football at the moment and if they bring that sort of intensity and execution to the table against us, we're going to turn to water.
I want to be positive, I really do, I just can't see us even getting close in this one given the respective positions on the ladder. We're effectively jockeying for the best draft picks we can get now.

Petrie won't be a factor... Rowe will be impassable at CHB, standing like a beacon in a storm..... clunking one grabbers while the packs collapse around him, keeping his feet and dishing off by hand to Touhy, Simmo and Yazz who zip it straight down the guts to Menzel and Henderson who get lacksadaisical after 3 quarter time as we're so far up....

Warnock isn't a problem he is a "massive problem!"
Wood will be able to push forward and back to take marks, it something you might not have seen before! ;)
As for predicting our ruck getting slaughtered at the weekend by Goldstein, that's like predicting the Tatts numbers after the draw. Goldstein is the red hot ruckmen in the league at the moment and he is slaughtering everyone.
But Norp lack a bit of height in defense and if Wood pushes forward with blokes like Casboult, Hendo and Rowe stretching the Norp defense and forcing a guy like Petrie to flood back we could actually be in with a chance. But we have to make good use of the ball and find the mismatches. Don't be surprised that there is a late change with either Garlett or Waite coming in too, they are listed as emergencies which would be pointless if there was that prospect.

Norf are treacle-like in defence but we haven't picked a side to exploit it. Theya re not a great kicking side under pressure either. So let's apply some!
Petrie marked well against Lake but other than that I thought it was close to Lake's worse game in many years... he lost concentration for periods of the game and let Petrie get position on him - something he rarely lets happen.
Rowe will go ok. I'm more concerned about Goldstein and their inside mids.
