Players who will no doubt play there best game in 12 months in the final irrespective of whether they are being rested this week:-

Harvey:- 34 touches and 3 goals
Petrie:- 4 goals 1 and 6 contested marks
Thomas:- 25 touches and 3 goals 1. +4 free kicks inside 50. 
Thompson:- will own his key defensive post as Vickery attempts to run to the back of contests looking for cheap goals.
Swallow:- 38 possessions including 12 clearances.  Nobody to consider a tag.

I hate how much this team gets up and about when they play us. Seem to play super offensive & it always comes off.


Need to smother them if we play them in the finals. Not let them breath.

If grigg has more than 10 hitouts we will win the game!

North could rest up to 10 players as per AFL website.

Puts us in an interesting position. Really want to avoid playing Adelaide IMO. I think we should just slaughter their 'B' team as a warmup for finals

with a good chance of playing norf 2 weeks in a row, and norf resting players

will norf try and hurt richmond players in a tactical manner?

[Hes My Hero]

Had a dream last night that Gold Coast got over the Swans by 3 goals.

Needless to say I am now unable to confidently decide on a recommended approach to Friday nights game.

It was quite surreal.

North ain't the type of club who can rest players and then be a1 next week.
Thay ain't that good.

Ps - so. Who's putting a hundred on the Tiges??

Seems that is the plan  .

Replacement Roos can 'maim' Tigers: Carey
AFL.com.au
September 3, 2015

WAYNE Carey says North Melbourne players called up to face Richmond could physically target their Tigers opponents in round 23, ahead of a likely elimination final rematch the following week.

The Roos have indicated they are likely to rest up to 10 players from this Friday night's clash to give themselves the best chance of entering finals in top shape.

While a loss would ensure North plays an elimination final against Richmond in Melbourne, coach Brad Scott has stressed that his side will be playing to win against the Tigers.

However, North Melbourne great Carey also raised the possibility that the Roos' replacement players could seek to give their side an advantage for an elimination final rematch by roughing up their opponents.

"The Kangaroos now can put in 8-10 players that are not going to play finals footy. They can go out and maim Richmond players," Carey said on AFL.com.au's Pick A Winner.

"They can go hard, they can be told by Brad Scott 'Go out there, hit this side as hard as you can, because it looks like we'll be playing them again next week'.

"I think the AFL really opened up a can of worms here and watch this space."

Carey said the Roos resting players was "a completely different situation" to minor premiers Fremantle sparing up to 11 regular players a final round trip to face Port Adelaide, because the Dockers-Power clash won't affect finals positions.

"Whereas I think this does manipulate where the Kangaroos and obviously the Tigers and Adelaide (finish), so it does have some bearing on the finals," Carey said.

"This rule has to change, because now the one game that had something riding on it all of a sudden has been manipulated by resting players."

Brayshaw has been peeing me off all week on the radio saying how big this game is going to be, get your reserved seat because it's going to be massive etc. Even Billy had to pipe in with "but how many kangas? Do you guys travel well." Give it up Brayshaw. It's nothing to do with your pathetic mob of tin rattling gypsies.
