Changes vs North

Trolling methinks.

I’m trying to get GA tickets for my family and is GA sold out or just not available yet? I haven’t had to buy GA tickets for a hot minute and a little clueless. But the section is greyed out to purchase.

Could it actually be sold out?

Probably because I have seen him kick a few goals, win a few tap outs, looks good and confident for his age and I am not sure the coaches are that keen on Bryan? We have been playing 2 rucks this year, yet when Draper goes out, Bryan doesn’t come in. I wonder why? I see a lot of potential in Visentini.

So if you have a different opinion to you its trolling is it? Grow up.

Getting 6 seats together last night was impossible if not willing to pay $120 a pop, so we had to drop down to 3 today.

5 year old going to his first proper game. Has been to a praccy only at this stage.

Does it count as AFL if it’s against North?
We’re going to be defending 30 inside 50s on Sunday. The VFL defence will have much more to do :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Try again tomorrow as all the returned reserved seats from members unable to attend go on sale tomorrow and theyll also usually release more rows of seats behind the goals on the top level to purchase.

GA tickets cant say, may be a temporary thing or theyve stopped selling to make sure theres enough walk up for members on the day.

resting colby mckercher was a surprise. hope his foot is ok. we have had our fair share of bone stress injuries in feet.

Clarkson yet to do pride training.

didnt fit with his schedule.

but will
occur at the end of the month. and now involve eveyone at North players, coaches, president as well.
couldnt fly up to Sydney to do it.

So basically you’re saying you’ve seen some glimpses from Vigo that you think are better than what Bryan offers. Plus you’re interpreting the selection situation in the 1’s as Bryan not being rated.

Vigo’s glimpses might show he has the potential to be better than Bryan in the future, but there is no measure in which you could say Vigo’s actual output has been anywhere near Bryan’s this year.

In regards to selection in the 1’s, an alternative method of looking at the selection is that the coaches want 1 ruck, plus another tall forward who can ruck a reasonable amount of the game. Draper and Wright have each filled that role and there is only 1 game where they both played. So there hasn’t been any game where that spot has been available for Bryan

I think you need a couple of games in the VFL first

. Priority for mine is getting Bryan in the team to support Goldy and get up to speed.
. Reid, Ridley, ADJ, Tsatas, Shiel with Tex all in VFL.
. One game only in VFL for Rids should get him back in the groove. He’s had a long layoff.

The right game to get him going?

If Ridley is 100% healthy he plays seniors.
Not being smug but playing against position 18 then 17 in succession allows for easing back into it and gain match fitness without manic pressure of playing much better teams. And all things being normal (no other player injured) he can be subbed out at 3/4 time if needed.

By the time we go to GC and play Carlton he will be much more advanced than having played in the twos. He will be important against Carlton. Then gets a breather via the bye.

I’ll say it again, this game will show us just as much as the giants win. If there really is something to this “edge” thing and it is what is finally going to bring this club back. Then we need to put this absolute basket case to the sword with a ruthless kill.

Scraping out a 1 goal win is not acceptable here

Need Essendon fans to bring the noise.

I like the 6 north fans are whining about us jamming their “replacement game tickets” in the back 4 rows of the nose bleeds.
