[the joker]

[Mickyj]

The Eagles have included Ken McGregor and Mark Passador. Two players are still to be cut from the squad.

Hey Joker, hope that its still funny on Sunday night!

[Wedgie]

Passador is out, Colville is in.

A big out as Pass always plays well against us, Colville must be under a cloud not even being named in the original squad.

Hilarious. This is another example of north adelaide arrogance. Keep going you are doing a good job.

[spell_check]

North have got the 'big game' monkey off its back in fine style on Friday, and will win this week.

It was a little over the top as Sturt could win this week but it's a bit rich you calling someone arrogant Sturt1, after some of your "poor loser" posts you have put up all week which smack of more arrogance than what joker said.

Media Release - Ian Perrie
No Perrie for the finals
North Adelaide Football Club advises members that it will not be utilising the services of Ian Perrie for the 2007 SANFL Finals series.

The decision has been made on the basis of team balance and the Club's future direction. All parties discussed the matter and reached agreement with the decision.

Ian has understood the need for the NAFC to encourage youth and build their finals experience. Ian understands the development of our younger players is very important to the future of NAFC, and has put the Club first and allowed the NAFC to foster youth.

Ian however, has made it clear if an injury were to arise, he would be more than happy to play for the Roosters during the Finals!

The ongoing commitment of Ian to the NAFC is greatly appreciated by the NAFC and his selfless decision to put younger players ahead of himself typifies both Ian and the senior playing list.

The Adelaide Football Club has been notified of this decision, and we acknowledge their understanding regarding this matter.

Team balance they say. How can that be - The sarge has been playing for the cocks for weeks but Gill is now available after playing with the Crows for the last several weeks. Correct me if I'm wrong but wouldn't selecting Gill upset the balance more than Perrie. Me thinks Jars is full of shit. Just be man enough to admit you want to take your strongest side into the finals Jars don't use weak excuses about team balance. One wonders what his excuse will be come late sunday arvo after they've been beaten them and there risking elimination in a cut throat semi final next week.

i was just stating the obvious. i have a girlfriend that goes for Sturt Have had fun with that. and how does Marty Mattner get clearence from SANFL to play when he played one game for Sturt.

[Wedgie]

Correct me if I'm wrong but wouldn't selecting Gill upset the balance more than Perrie.

OK, I will correct you for being wrong.
Gilly can play a variety of spots and having been recruited by North and played and trained with us consistently for a number of years he has a more intimate knowledge of our game plan than Perrie does.
Perrie can only play one role in a side which we already have covered but Gilly can play a number of roles.
We also win a lot more games when Gill's in the side than we do when Perrie is in the side.
Perrie didn't play last week too.
Its not rocket science mate.

jars said on 5AA yesterday that sarge is questioning his love for the game and whether he wants to play any more

[eddie-eagle]

Passador is out, Colville is in.

Wan't to bet on this "scoop"?

[Wedgie]

Passador is out, Colville is in.

Not at all mate, it was the Eagles that announced it, not me.
Ring them up and have a bet with them if you think they're liars mate.

[woodwt]

thanks wedgie, keep up the good work!

There's no doubting wedgie that Gill is an obvious selection I would pick him ahead of Perrie all the time but I think Jars was weak in using the team balance excuse. Like I said it won't matter much either way when we beat you on Sunday. I wonder whether the umpires will be to balme for another loss to the Eagles.

Don't team balance and strongest side go hand in hand?, Jars would probably think you're full of shit if he read that dribble.

Zac Milbank read it out on 5RPH tonight as a late change. He got a call from the Eagles saying that Passador had come up short at the end of training with a sore back.

[bulldog2004]

I will 2nd you on that wedgie with Passador not playing.
