Match Preview and Team Selection - Round 14

[Ted Lasso 19,511]

None deeflog but it's good for our captains younger brother to get a run

[Elusive Tunbridge 795]

The only likely change is Terlich for Riley. Blease and Nicholson receive the Coach's Encouragement Award.

[JV7 2,351]

No change.. Don't see what Terlich would bring if he came in for Riley, unless we moved grimes into the midfield and Terlich back otherwise there's no spot for Terlich and Grimes is a lot better down back anyway.. Salem the sub again.

[SaberFang 7,151]

Salem almost definitely the sub again.

[_becks_ 35]

RIley did not impress me at all last week. I think Riley for Blease (or Terlich)

[Jaded No More 68,906]

God I despise North.

That game last year was just the lowest of lows, and finally we can get some redemption.

[Adam The God 30,221]

I think they'll remain unchanged, but it's clever from the FD to encourage the three inclusions on the extended bench. It should drive them to put in even harder for a place next week. Recognition is an important thing, even if it isn't the end goal. McKenzie experienced a similar thing a few weeks ago.

Roos and co are looking for consistency at VFL level. They're managing things beautifully.

Blease for Riley the only change that might happen

Will probbaly be unchanged though

Not sure we need a defensive liability like blease vs the Roos.

[Ted Lasso 19,511]

I reckon our best chance of beating north is stopping their run similar to what we did against port

I'd keep Riley in

[Dee Fan 3,247]

Wow. I had somehow managed to erase this from the memory bank completely too. Must be a trauma response.

It would be fair to say a second consecutive massive turn around is on the cards.

It was an interesting day for me, it was my birthday, I was on holidays in Paris and we got flogged, at least I didn't have to sit through the game.

[Barney Rubble 1,576]

The way the teams are listed.

There is a pace miss match with Harvey and Grimes.

Who do we get to run with him? McKenzie?

[DemonOX 8,791]

U have to let the poor bugger settle in.

Geez he's only been in one week. Give him a couple more wks and c how he goes.

[Wadda We Sing 10,685]

According to Champion Data, once inside 50, North score more often than any other team in the competition, therefore this should be a bit of a benchmark game for our newly found defensive unit.

[DemonOX 8,791]

Blease, Terlich and Nicholson added to the squad.

They are all named in the Casey squad so I would think there will be no changes.

Goals or points? Most teams score heavily against us, just not as often through the big ones.

I agree.....Roos has trended like this all year.

The days of wholesale changes seem to be over....

[Dr. Gonzo 24,208]

If dan Nicholson makes the final 22 I won't be in attendance Sunday afternoon

Bloody hell what a stupid thing to say. I seriously can't fathom the mentality of some of our supporters sometimes, anyone who cares enough to post on here yet won't attend a home game because a player they don't necessarily like might be playing. Get there, be loud and support the club. We're trying to increase our crowds/support and people are as fickle as to say "I'm not going if he's playing", "I'm not going to Docklands", "I'm not going cause it's Sunday" - I just hope you're not one of those who then also complains when we have to sell games to NT.

[chook fowler 19,458]

Roos doesn't put a player in and drop him the next week without good reason so no change I would think.

[Deano74 156]

Will Blease be the surprise inclusion and play run with role with Boomer Harvey ?

I wont be surprised, smother boomer with pace and pressure, take him out of the game.

[1964nowMORE 489]

If dan Nicholson makes the final 22 I won't be in attendance Sunday afternoon

He is not a best 22 player

Harsh call, how do we know? Haven't seen Nicho play this year, and going off last years form he was as welcome as Pederson, Terlich and Dunn in pre season.

[DeeSpencer 25,679]

First thought is no change and keep Salem as sub.

Second thought is if Salem starts is Riley the right sub or is someone with pace a better sub?

I'd keep Salem as sub and then I would consider Riley's spot in the team as I just don't think he's fit enough. If I was going to drop him and play someone different as a defensive half forward I would probably consider Nicholson over the other two. Whilst he's a horrendous footballer if he played defensive forward on Dal Santo at half back and used his pace to pressure some slower North defenders when the ball is coming in he could be useful. The concern is with Matt Jones, Bail and McKenzie in the side we need some class at half forward and there's only so many times Kent, Watts, Salem can get it.

I'm predicting if we play well the game will be an in tight slog so who knows.

[Pennant St Dee 13,172]

Will Blease be the surprise inclusion and play run with role with Boomer Harvey ?

I wont be surprised, smother boomer with pace and pressure, take him out of the game.

Blease does not have the engine to run with Boomer who makes repeated efforts all day long, I think Dan Nicholson may have come into consideration due to his endurance, which will enable him to run with Harvey all day.

Would still be surprised if there was any change

[mrtwister 652]

North seem to come home strong after slow starts yet we tend to give up a small lead then clamp down defensively as the games progress and slowly climb back in. Makes for a real cat and mouse battle. Would LOVE to add NM to our list of scalps this year.

Then the Dogs next week.

With Blease, Terlich and Nicholson named for Casey, it appears no change!
