Round 17 Brisbane v North Melbourne - Saturday 25th July 7:20pm - Gabba

North or Norf which one will come out to play this weekend?
Brent Harvey plays in his 400th match,you'd think this would be enough to spur them on to a win this weekend.They also need one to keep in touch with the top 8,they may even push there way back in there.
Lions need to be on their toes if Norf show up,they could sneak a win if they do.

North i think, just can't pick Brisbane on form but now ive said that you watch. North can drop games they should win.

Sentiment will be the order of the day with Adcock also p[laying his 200th game not as significant as Boomers 400 though. If the Norf team that played Gold Coast three weeks ago turn up I would fancy our chances.
Showers are predicted right up till Saturday morning so this may assist Lions.
Team selection will be interesting and I will comment further after team announcements.
North have a tendency to lose games they should win and this will be a danger game for them and they need to win it to stay in touch with the 8 or force their way in.
North for me but hope for another competitive match unlike last week.

Norf easy, big Lindsay is back in this week after some stellar form in the ressies and Harper even made the EMG list Brissy don't stand a chance. ::)

Agreed, if the reasoning for dropping Thomas was to reinforce how Scott would reward form not reputation...you don't bring him back into the side after 12 touches and 2 tackles. Would have preferred to see Nahas, despite Thomas being the better player

I remember being at his 300th :3

Milestone games don't matter as we always hear, but North will still get up with some comfort

Ringo · July 24, 2015, 08:48:47 AM

While all the focus is on Boomers 400 let us not forget the other Milestones as well Jed Adcock 200th and Sam Wright and Shaun Atley 100th.

Dawson in for Harwood Lions only change would have preferred a couple of others. Dawson deserves his chance although suspect he will be sub. Berger probably on his last chance to cement Ruck against the in form Goldy. Martin forward last week did not work well at all so interesting to see what transpires this week.

Whilst our defence can hold its own can not see Lions scoring enough at other end so North win for me if right North turn up.

This game is a win/win for me as Roos are my second team having followed them before Brisbane joined the competition.

Beams and Hanley out for the Lions. That's big!

No change for North, McStay and Thomas the subs

Mother F'ers. I tipped Brisbane because North suck in Queensland

Mat0369 · July 25, 2015, 06:26:41 PM

Oh and in my draft team with Beams I can't even replace him because Caddy, Lewis, Bennell and Bell have all played and Adams is suspended.

Half way through the quarter and Captain Goldstein is on 7 :o

Bill Manspeaker · July 25, 2015, 08:02:40 PM
