Yes happy with the changes. Great to see Dale and Lipinski get their chances as well a return for Williams. English back in is a bonus

Re: Always Right Match Committee Rnd 10, vs North Melbourne
I hope English is fit to play. Surprised we don't have a second marking forward option.
Is this our first game with Triple Baileys in?

Higgins has been out of form compared to his last two years. Some North fans want him out of their midfield rotations.
North can turn the ball over a lot - if our mids pressure the ball carrier, we win this. It really does come down to how disciplined our running players are.

Selection based on form not playing favourites. The MC has been smart this week.

Re: Always Right Match Committee Rnd 10, vs North Melbourne
I really like it. But it's unclear to me who our formal decoy up forward is.

If Bevo deigns to assign a tag, I could see an in-form Dunkley spelling a dirty day for Higgins.

The Bont according to the named side.
I hope we don't waste Dale's smooth distribution down there.

Re: Always Right Match Committee Rnd 10, vs North Melbourne
I like all the ins. Feel a bit for Fletch, he had a real tough gig last week and wasn't actually that bad. Plus I do feel we play better with another big body down back. Maybe Trengove will spend most of the day in defence.

Agree with your thoughts. This was an ideal time to alternate Lew Young and English in the ruck and up forward, otherwise the selected team looks pretty good.

Re: Always Right Match Committee Rnd 10, vs North Melbourne
Its 4 good changes, which structurally will leave us better placed to combat the main threats that North pose. If I had one change I disagree with its Gowers out for Dale. I think Dale is probably a little under done and could do with a couple more weeks. I also think that whilst Gowers has stunk it up big time this year and his errors have outweighed his contribution, he is strong in the air and provides a foil for Naughton. Structurally we are asking a HUGE amount of Naughton to kick our goals and be the focal point. If you were going to drop Gowers then I think you had to bring in Schache.

Yeah good thoughts. Naughton can't be expected to be the single focal point. Let's not destroy the kid. It's a huge ask. The problem is, Gowers certainly needed to be dropped, but Scache really didn't deserve to be elevated. It's complicated...... Not sure what the answer is.
-
Re: Always Right Match Committee Rnd 10, vs North Melbourne
Lippy & Bonti & Maclean and Dale all to have stints in F50. Bonti to play mid/forward 50/50 or 40/60. Wally mainly forward. I like this match selection and think we will play better. Gowers to be elevated once he learns to kick straighter and be more disciplined (less stupid free kicks). I would love to have seen West as small forward too. If English not quite right it would not surprise me if he is late inclusion.

It's in the Kardinia Park supplement (Written by the Geelong rules committee with Hocking, Dangerfiend and anyone else from Geelong who wants to put their hand up) that was released in 2019.
The trade/draft section of the Kardinia Park supplement to the rules came out in 2017 so they could get poor little Gary home after he had realised what an awful mistake he had made leaving the comfortable confines of KP in the first place.

Re: Always Right Match Committee Rnd 10, vs North Melbourne
Happy to see those changes.
Stoked to see English back. We’ve missed him. The other lads will give us a slightly different look and I’d say a better skill level.

Well for it to be an unbeaten run the likes of which has never been seen it'll have to go into next year so yes it will include a premiership.
I'd also expect one Baily to win the Coleman.
And I'd prefer Smith to win the Rising Star as the Rising Sun implies they play for GC

Re: Always Right Match Committee Rnd 10, vs North Melbourne
We made changes most of us were asking for the last few weeks. Good stuff.
Expecting a big win on Saturday even though we always seem to have struggling, scrappy games v Norf.

Last 4 games the difference has been 5, 2, 1, 3 with both teams winning 2.
North are still an old team with the average games over 110, to our 82.

With English back I'd imagine that's the plan. Trengove to Brown, Cordy to Larkey, swap them as a plan B option.

Re: Always Right Match Committee Rnd 10, vs North Melbourne
I wonder if there is a late change with Suckling?
Who would come in? Emergencies are: L Young, R West, B Gowers, L Young

I think Dale has been banging the door down and deserves his shot.
I do worry about the second tall forward option though. We started the year playing Naughton forward with both Schache and Gowers.

L Young :p
Honestly, I wouldn't mind Lewis Young getting a run forward, he can go back too especially when Trengove rucks to relieve English.

I think we will see Bont play forward a bit more this week, which hopefully means Libba is pushed up into the midfield rotation.

Bevo mentioned this morning in his presser that Suckling has trained well and will play.

Re: Always Right Match Committee Rnd 10, vs North Melbourne
I like the changes but like others I worry that Naughton has been left one out to be our only marking tall up forward. I would have liked to see Schache given another go because he at least draws a tall defender away from Naughty. Tarrant will play on Naughton you'd think and he's a quality defender that is hard to beat one on one let alone someone else giving him a chop out.
Gowers isn't a tall but he can do a decent block from time to time for someone his size. Someone will need to play that role in his place and I can't see it being Lippa or Dale. I would actually like to see how Williams would go in this role but I can't see it happening as he'll be required down back I'd say.
Hopefully Lippa shows the MC that he should of been in the side from round 1. I'm scared he might be Webb mark II. We saw Webb get sent back to the two's to add more strings to his bow and he hasn't yet really come on as we'd hoped. Hopefully Lippa has learned a thing or two back in the magoos.
North always feel confident against us so I hope we don't bring our GC/Carlton mentality with us. We need to win and get back percentage lost last week.
-
Re: Always Right Match Committee Rnd 10, vs North Melbourne
Just play Bont forward for 75%, and give him a run in the midfield if they're getting on top in there.
Libba, Macrae & Dunkley with help from Smith, McLean & Bont should be good enough to blunt North's mids.

Thanks for that I missed it.
For others here are the tweets on the Presser:
* LB: North have always been a more mature & physically side than us. They’ve always been pretty dour, contested games. They’ve changed, we’re expecting to face a different North side. It’s going to be a different game to ones historically.
* LB: We’ve made some adjustments in defence, we’ve got a solid representation down there & we expect our mid to make sure the pressure is there & the forwards will do the same.
* LB: Matt Suckling trained extremely well & expelled any doubts he won’t be fit. He’ll take his spot in the team.
* LB: Tim is right to go, unfortunately had a significant bleed after the corky which created some soreness around the knee. He’s fine, he’ll play.
* LB: Patty has mostly been a winger/forwards. There’s a few things Patty has been working on. He’s been playing as a inside mid for Footscray, & we’ll give him an opportunity there at AFL level with the chance to play on the outside too.
* LB: We’re only four five in the win/loss ratio, most of our games we’ve been in there. It was time to break the circuit & for a few boys to get their form back, plus we need to give some boys an opportunity who have been banging the door down

Hunter usually racks up the possessions against this mob. Last time he had 44 disposals, and has done that before as well against North.

Yeah, no doubt. I was just referring more to the guys who will take the centre bounces.
If Hunter has 40+ tomorrow, here's hoping he uses it like the first half vs Geelong. That was his best display of ball usage for a long time.

Wallis & Lipinski will also help out in there. Besides Higgins Norf don't really have much class/ pace in there so suggested we have enough bodies to go through the middle if Bont is forward.
Would love to see Libba go to Higgins and give him hell, also like to allow Dunkley to go 1 on 1 with Cunnington.

I like both of these, especially if the Bont is playing more forward.
We need to rotate runners on Polec, he has some weird 'ball retention' rate stat with his kicking which is in the top handful in the AFL.

Re: Always Right Match Committee Rnd 10, vs North Melbourne
The bottom 3 sides on the ladder are Carlton, North and GC. If we had just taken care of business vs Carlton and GC we would be 6-3 right now. Let’s hope we treat this game with the importance it deserves.
I worry about Bevo’s comments about it being a different game to past battles vs NM. We should be looking to take this game away from north by focussing pressure on their better players, not just roll the dice in head to heads. Officially worried right now.

Yeah, totally forgot Wallis & based on Bevo's comments, sounds like Lippa will also get a crack in the middle.
We are chockas for inside mids, and the cupboard is bare up forward. We're way better balance with Bont forward.

Plot twist - Lippi spends some time playing on Cunnington. Cunnington is fantastic but sloooow, and Lippi uses the ball well generally.

What we do lose is Bont's poise & kicking ability in the midfield.. Most of the inside mids mentioned are poor on the spread or working away from the clearance situation so expect lots of 'hack' kicks going our way.
