Beating North melbourne

I was looking through Norths results.

North were going ok, and then had that crazy thrashing by the GC Suns.
Now North had the bye the round before.
They were obviously affected by the break, just like we were against WCE.

If the bye had that effect on North, it's possible that half the team having a weeks rest from
R23 will have the same effect.

Half the team will be over-rested, the rest will be under-rested.
 
Brad Scott will be singing this song to Dimma on Sunday afternoon... :hihi

R6 v r23 team differences

Out griffiths astbury morris gordon
The 4 acclimated 32 possessions and 1 goal

In lloyd lambert lennon Vickery
In r23 they got the ball 46 times and 5 goals

How much better does that look!
 
I reckon there will be niggle and plenty of it. I suspect we are going to take it up to them physically, especially early.

Look for Taylor Hunt to wear Harvey like a glove, and try and annoy him. We will also target the ones we see as softies in their team like Thomas and DalSanto.

This won't be dirty stuff, just the Hawthorn game like physical pressure.

Do you think Morris sneaks in as the Lindsay Thomas minder? Btw I reckon Lindsay sleeps with the light on.

Cant let Morris anywhere near the ground.

Finals arent his thing. Been a disaster past two campaigns.

Morris on Thomas would be a disaster. No-one milks frees harder than Thomas. And no-one is clumsier than Morris.

No, I reckon Grimes will play on Thomas and Batch will play 3rd tall, which worries me a bit. Dimma likes Grimes on the small forwards who can take a grab as well because he is quick enough to go with them on the ground.

Batch to Waite
Chaplin to Brown
Rance to Petrie

They will try and push Petrie up the ground and isolate one of Brown or Waite deep in our defence. They will try and cause separation amongst our back 6 and expose them that way.

Rance needs to pass Petrie over to someone and stay back patrolling if they try that.

We cant afford to leave the other two matchups alone one on one.

Reckon we all agree its nervous times if Batch/Chappy are left to there own devices against far taller opponents.

Maybe Batch on Brown who shouldn't be much of a threat.
