North Melbourne pre-game discussion (with teams)

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

[Snake]

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.

[Robbo]

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

i think roosy needs to send a message that senior players dont automatically get a spot in this side.

Sydneys current tackling intensity has dropped below par , which is very dissapointing being from a rugby state?
To many oppostion players are escaping to easily!

"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.

[Bloody Hell]

Just rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic....

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

Like the Phoenix rising from the ashes you recon?

Oh, cant even think about this weeks game after that debacle yesterday....north to win though.

I have a simple question. Why does Paul Roos continue to play without a very consistent performer in Ted Richards. Richards has been very good for almost 3 years and now cant get a game when Bolton is missing. He has body size, speed and can kick to our own men. Roos continues to amze me with persisting with reserve graders coming up who will never be anything else. I have the same question why white was left out. roos seems to blame white for not getting the ball. strike me a forward needs the midfield to get it up their, then the coach might have a reason to drop you if you dont get it. White is suffering what Barry Hall did, starvation.

Ohhh, you're a very brave soul.
Teddy is number one whipping boy on this forum and most on here curse his name!

Ted is well down the Whip List, and due for a recall.

I take your point but Barry did a few things Jesse doesn't.

1. Continually present himself.
2. Put forward pressure on the opposition defenders.
3. Bust his arse for 4 quarters.

I think our mids are letting down Jesse to a certain extent too but Jesse ain't making it easy for himself. He really needs to lift his intensity. Hopefully that comes with age and strength.

I watched the reserves last week and he looked ordinary at best. No longer up to it.

Teddy's performance & self-confidence has been absymal (on the field, not his blog) since his injury last year and he has done nothing this year to justify a permanent senior spot.

He was named as an emergency last weekend and apparently played well in the Reserves, so you will probably see him get another shot in the Seniors soon.

Gold!
