Round 7 - WWT v North @ Woodville Sat 8th May 2.10pm

[GWW]

North will be looking at reversing their poor form from round 6, but come up against an Eagles side that has been impressive so far this year.

MY TIP: WWT by 7 points

[Thiele]

I think its a day game starting @ 2.10

Was going to be the second Thebby game but now back at Woodville

[GWW]

So it is a 7.40 game then? I'll edit the heading if its not.

2.10, think we can only dream about night games at Woodville

Its the ABC game aswell. After witnessing north today i cant see them beating an inform eagles outfit at woodville. But in saying that this season thrown up some funny ones so far.

[bloods08]

Going on the trend of this season - North by 75 points.

No seriously, I think the Eagles will be too strong and will win by 3 to 4 goals.

Our reserves 21 would have more show of being competitive against the Eagles next week!

North are a soft insipid front running side that cannot (except for a handful of players) handle any sort of sustained pressure!

Do us a favour North - forfeit and lose by less than turning up and getting killed and at least put us out of our misery for another year!

North have flogged the Crows playbook where you're not allowed to kick more than 10 goals.
So if the Eags can score 70 ish points they will win comfortably because that 10 goals I mentioned is our absolute max.

I guess we copped a hiding a couple of weeks ago when South kicked 17 goals then?

[The Sleeping Giant]

Every side has a bunny. Souths is Norths. We are Centrals, and Glenelgs, and.....

Spot on The Sleeping Giant- since when have South games counted for anything

- Check out our points for tally against Centrals, Glenelg and even Port in recent weeks

[The Sleeping Giant]

Add the fact we have kicked 6 goals in 6 qtrs. The facts are overwhelming.

[Wedgie]

North by plenty.

[MightyEagles]

Eagles by plenty.

One thing i didn't think anyone would be saying this year is 'Are North capable of kicking a winning score'

Something i noticed in North Adelaide yesterday was that Healy was moving the likes of White, Alleway, Gill in between forward and defence a fair bit.

I think he needs to go back to the simple but effective style.

Craig needs to come into the side to lead the ruck while i would be playing White at CHB.

With the forward line i would be playing 4 main forwards Wundke, Gill, Motlop and then Alleway at CHF all game with blokes such as Allan, Delvins, Whyman, Thompson, Wright all spending time as roving forward pocket/half forward flanks.

My 3 tall defenders would be White, McIntrye, Gallman with the blokes such as Ivens, Armstrong and Cunningham being the creative running defenders.

Stewart creates the problem of the extra tall making them slightly to top heavy. The Power probably wouldn't like it but i would use him as the second impact ruckmen and then pinch hit him in the forward line for 5 minute stints while resting a tall forward one of the tall forwards on the bench.

Craig was injured and would have played if fit and he would have made a difference yesterday. Ackland is the biggest loss so far and he is taking longer than expected to return after his "knee cleanout" (more bullshit from the NAFC?) however Healy should have played O'Hara yesterday, tactically it was a bad non selection. The reliance on Alleway to ruck is too much to ask and he was well beaten by buckets and Griffen despite giving 100 percent! Daniel Stewart was the back up ruckman and he hates rucking (or at least he did before getting drafted by Port!).

BTW whufc in the main your post is spot on and that is what should be happening but our game plan and style at present negates what should be a strength in having top quality tall fwds!

Sorry meant O'Hara not Craig

On Stewart unfortunatly in a team game sometimes you have to do things for the better of the team, even though it may not be your most liked thing. This maybe one of those times.

Eagles to just pip the North Adelaide Storm by 8 pts.
