Changes v lolNorf

Out: Soldo, Lynch, Aarts, Castagna, Dow (Nank)
In: Cotch, Balta, Gibcus, Vlastuin, Cumberland, (Ryan)

Balta and Gibcus to play forward.
Baker to play forward/on ball.

Maybe Jr out and Dow stays in.
this is what i sent to the MC, obviously they decided on Sonzie instead of Dow/MJR, but otherwise it good to see they listened.

Yes, I had these changes too posted on page 12 but admittingly these were stock standard changes., well apart from Sonsie coming in for MJ.
Balta and Gibcus were training with the forwards and with Lynch out balta/gibcus needed to play forward to help Jack. Baker has been playing more mid/forward of late. Great flexibility for dimma to be able to switch the magnets.

Does anyone know if there is a way of getting Level 1 tickets for tomorrow without paying over $50 each? Thanks.

Missing from our best 22 are Lynch, Dusty, Lambert and perhaps Ross. Maybe Stack (I'd have him in)
At the expense of Miller/Gibcus, Cumberland, Sonsie, and perhaps HRS and Edwards (based on current form).
All should be back in a week or 2.

North have rocks in their heads most seats on level 1 are $52. Luckily early rows on level 3 viewing are still good.

North were 26pts up at 3/4 time against Collingwood last week. With a new coach the North players will lift to prove themselves worthy of being on the list next year.

If they are that far in front of us at 3/4 time and the way our 4th quarters have been this year we could be out of finals contention come the final siren.......
Regrettably you could be right there OT.
In today's HS even Dimma is wary of the Northerners with their new coach.
He refers to caretaker bounce.
It had to be us did it not, that they chose to change coach just before they played the Tigers.
And, remember this game is at Marvel Stadium, where Dimma has said he hates playing there.
Not good karma.
 
With Vlastuin back it looks like we'll see Baker as a mid / half forward where IMO he is best value to us.
HRS to play the 7th defender off the bench

Here is how Adams is thinking.
Hope it is pie in the sky thought bubble.

IT’S A case of 'positive vibes only' for North Melbourne caretaker coach Leigh Adams as he attempts to release the shackles on the last-placed side's attacking game.

The 34-year-old has taken the reins following David Noble's departure and will weigh up his own senior coaching ambitions over the next six weeks.

Adams has recalled No.1 draft pick Jason Horne-Francis for Saturday's clash with Richmond at Marvel Stadium, but doesn't intend on making wholesale changes.

SLIDING DOORS If Simmo keeps saying he's not coaching Roos, then ...

Instead, he will look to lighten the mood at Arden Street and simplify the game plan in a bid to end the Kangaroos' (1-15) barren run.

"It's going to be about the environment that we can provide," Adams said.

Spot on H

Lynch and Dusty are massive ins to come, luckily not far off.

Can't really see lambert coming back and making a big impact due to his chronic hip. Hugo is now part of the back 7, he's a keeper and playing well.

Agree on form either miller or gibcus. Cumberland could be a surprise packet but we know MJ or even stack (when fit) can come in so a few options there.
Edwards, once he gets to 300 who knows but inclined to put him more as a sub depending on form.

All in all Richmond at full strength I will back us against anyone.

That's just dimma being dimma, not giving north any extra ammunition. Let's face it we are playing the 18th team. We have very good ins and have been playing well, our last 3 losses have been under a kick. Dimma will get the boys fired up due to the importance of our ladder position and won't allow complacency to creep in due to playing north.

We will beat them the only thing will be the margin, happy to take the 4 points but if we happen to beat them convincingly then the bonus is the % we gain.

Agree AT. Crazy to overprice Level 1 seats and have those sections largely empty when it would be a much better atmosphere if they were closer to full.

Can we sack Dimma for just 1 week?

Even up the playing field.

It needs to be a convincing win otherwise I could be having blood pressure problems like last week
