Round 17 - North v CD @ Prospect - 2.10pm Sat 23/7/11

[CENTURION]

make no mistake, this will NOT be a big win for Us, North are schizophrenic, who knows what they will do? Their crooked oval as well.

On paper surely one of the best sides in the SANFL, definitely a big chance this week. The dogs surely cant keep winning with all the ins and outs they have on a regular basis.

Also good to see Dallas Hill having a crack in the reserves grade, has been kicking a few bags in the 18's and looks a player of the future if not taken in the AFL draft when old enough.

Surprised though that Boras and Mason, both talls, named in the 2's.

Would have liked to have them in causing havok

[on the rails]

Agree re Mason and Boras - especially Mason as we look too short down back (again!). I'm not sure what Francou thinks some weeks re selection - he is starting to really annoy me!

[whatever]

Every North supporter should get to the game so they can say they saw Mayes first SANFL senior game.

Given that the old grandstand (that used to be free) is now becoming a gym, does anyone know what are the arrangements for public access to the grandstand at Prospect these days?

I think you can pay $3 or $4 to sit up in the other stand.

[The Sleeping Giant]

Hopefully North can give a competitive performance.

Looking at the 2 sides named, I think the Roosters are actually a realistic chance to beat the Dogs...

We couldn't even beat Sturt...

Boras coming back from injury so get off the coaches back. Do you want him to be going flat out and screw a hammy completely? Mason crook during the week maybe? Check your fact's before you shoot the coach. Agreed re Mayes a real talent who will be a draftee next year at the latest. Great game coming up on Saturday

Allan's coming off injury too so why not give him a run in the two's if your going to use that arguement? Mason crook - his "virus" or "flu" or whatever "straw clutching" illness you might like to guess he had (bollocks!) was bad enough to keep him out of the league but not bad enough for the ressies? Seriously can't believe you posted that rubbish!

We played Macca, Boras and Mason against the Bays (save for Stewart in for Alleway this week) our height and versatility stretched the bays from the start and we had our best win. But since that game, Francou has dicked around with the selections regardless of the likes of Handby's suspension and Allan's injury and we would have had a massive height advantage this week with leaving Mason and Boras in the league but why give us too much of an advantage - after all we are bottom and playing the league leading SANFL powerhouse who we traditionally struggle against?

Still I am not the coach so he will live or die by his selections but our back line looks a little short, take Stewart out of the Fwd line when he has to ruck and that looks short too and that may hurt us come the end of the game.

North proved they can match it with Centrals, going very close to a win on our home deck. I believe tomorrow's side isn't as strong as the Centrals team we had last time the teams met. However, Alleway is a massive out for North. Hopefully I'll maintain my 2011 record, and put the "kiss of death" on North, by tipping them by 12 points.

[RM]

North by 3 points

He has been massive for our club so thats good to see. Does he have ambitions to coach? Would make a fine player/coach

was talking to him about you, you should intro yourself. You think he would make a good coach? Seems a bit too "mild-mannered" yo me....but you never know. He reckons Porter has got the B&F sewn up!

[Big Phil]

He (Heath Lawry) reckons (Ryan) Porter has got the (South Galwer) B&F sewn up!

A shame Porter didn't stick it out at Central District as I thought he could have played League for the Dogs.
