Just a bit of banter with me and Wiseblood in the Changes v North thread. Page 6 somewhere.

? I noticed that too.

Was that a question?  Harmes surely is the only answer to the question.

No Sniper Harvey may help too.......though I have always been very wary of posts here making good news of missing opposition players.  They always put out 22, 22 who we have to beat.

The '87 first final springs to mind.   Something like a 15 goal win in the wet by a team playing their first final in about 22 years. ?????

I was there!!! 

I/C (from): Christian Salem, Dean Kent, Jake Melksham, Sam Weideman, Alex Neal-Bullen, Josh Wagner, James Harmes

Melksham, ANB, Harmes in, no outs. A no change extended bench if ever I've seen one.

I hope Titus sends a few royalty cheques your way.  It's the least he could do!

I love Titus. After the win v  st kilda he made a comment along the following lines - "Cop that Saints. No one beats the Demons 15 times in a row."

It was a pretty obvious joke, we'll give him the benefit of the doubt on this one, love your work Titus, I know you're reading (taking notes).

My mates refer to Waite as a sanitary item, in for one week and out for three.

Agreed, no change

Would it be worthwhile putting on Vince on Higgins who is their best player IMO.

Higgins, Goldstein and Waite (and maybe Ben Brown)  could have a massive bearing on this match.

How did you come up with that, Steve?  Both are named on the extended interchange bench which doesn't give a whole lot away.  I'd wager that if Hunt is right to go we may go in with no change.

The interchange bench is listed in numerical order. It doesn't mean necessarily that Melksham gets a gig - if that's where you're coming from.

Isn't there a bit of a form line that the first 4 names are usually the ins?

Not to my knowledge.  In this case the interchange bench for both sides has been listed in numerical order.

Not trying very hard to conceal your identity, Titus.. umm, I mean bingers.

Except Norf. Perhaps that will be the punchline on Monday "nobody beats the demons 16 times in a row either"

Waite won't get a kick on Frost

I was there too ... I suspect Buckenara would have kicked the goal even without the 15 metre penalty. And even if we made the GF we would have been thumped by Carlton anyway ...  

Feel good about this game aside from their tall fwds. If we don't dominate the midfield they will kick long to brown and Waite. Could be troublesome.

No, I'm not Titus. But he's the second wittiest bloke I "know".

My mate who grew up in Tongala on a dairy farm, used to sneak up on cows and bump into them....they went down like skittles

 

I thought Jack Viney grew up in Echuca?

Harmes for Weideman

That was the preliminary final you're talking about,  not the "first" final that monoccular was referring to.

I know that the announced team line up doesn't mean a lot but showing Tom Mc as the ruckman will give Brad Scott something to mull over or lose sleep over

Unpredictability is one of our greatest weapons right now. 

Great to see that Hunt is well enough to play (altho he could still be a late out).

Well let us hope the unpredictability extends to winning when we are favorites

I'm tipping no change but if there's going to be one, it might be Melksham for Wagner.

This game, like almost all of the remaining 14 games this year, comes down almost entirely to us. If we play at our best, we will win. Last week showed that our best is good enough to beat any opponent, anywhere. However, if we don't play out our best, North is good enough to beat us. 

Would dearly love to have a dominant first quarter, kill some nerves off, get a nice lead going, and get a confident feeling that we've come with the right mindset against our last remaining "bogey team".
