[El Doederino]

In: Murphy

Take it to the bank

 

[TRP1996]

if were smart with player management.

 

[Scorpus]

Out: Pedlar (shoulder), McHenry (sub)
In: Curtin, Berry (sub)

Do not select under any circumstances: Smith, McHenry, Murphy

 

[dogs105]

Good kick Sholl

 

[Danger in Texas]

Out: Pedlar (inj), Hamill, McHenry (sub)
In: Schoenberg, Curtin, Hamill (sub)

What’s Berry’s fitness status?

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Let's be realistic here.

Murphy for Pedlar.

That will be it.

 

[MrBarry]

Shame Mark Keane won't get to have a craic at Peppa Piggy on Tursdee'

Was looking forward to this as well - felt like Keane was going to leave one on him.

 

[NSolis]

Assuming that Berry is not available, I think we'll see Smith and Murphy back in, and Butts for Borlase. One out will obviously be Pedlar, I'm guessing the other one will be McHenry.

Outside chance of Curtin as well given he's racking it up in the SANFL, particularly if Smith is not fit. Not quite sure who he would come in for, maybe Hamill. I actually think Hamill has been okay but if Curtin was to get a game it would have to be ahead of one of the defensive running types and he'd be the one to come out if Smith is also coming in.

In: Murphy, Butts, Smith and/or Curtin
Out: McHenry, Pedlar, Borlase, possibly Hamill

 

[Rory Walkerfield]

Curtin is a ******* gun. Get him in.

He just does it easy which will work against him. He isn’t a “trier” like Nicks usual pets.

 

[BACCS]

Curtin for Hamill
Schoenberg for Pedlar
McHenry stays sub

This is the near BOG performance from Curtin that would surely finally see a debut. Hamill couldn't even find the ball in a low pressure game, he's done at this level.

Hamill has been ******* s**t, he was worst on ground today. Curtin would be in the top 3 players on the ground in the SANFL today playing that exact same role, it's the easiest change of all time.

While the coaches love Murphy, he's also near WOG in the SANFL today, even our coaches are surely not that dumb.

I'm sure they want Smith back in straight away, so just do that for Pedlar. I also wouldn't be rushing to bring back Butts on his performance today.

 

[BACCS]

Let's be realistic here.

Murphy for Pedlar.

That will be it.

I thought that before the SANFL game, but he could have touched the ball zero times and been more effective than his current output, which has been a net negative. Would have been easier getting his spot back as travelling emergency.

 

[Scorpus]

I would play Karl Gallagher before Lachlan Murphy

Athletic, kicks goals sometimes (which Murphy doesn't) and when he gets confused about where to be because he's just learning the game, he's offering about as much as Murphy

Hamill wasn't anything special against North but I think he'd had some good games since he came back in, particularly against Carlton. I also think he's benefiting from the running half-back role being thin on the ground at the moment with injuries to Milera, Parnell and currently Smith. As I said he's the obvious omission if they want to bring in both Curtin and Smith though. I'd like to see Ryan get a game personally, think he could easily be better than Hamill.

Definitely not saying I want Murphy back in but I don't think the SANFL form is going to be the key issue. McHenry has been awful and should really come out, and Murphy would be the like for like.

 

[Pugsley]

Here is an opportunity for a good news story Nicksy.


Time to bring in Curtin.

I'd play Karl before Sholl, McHenry and Murphy.

I don't think he will blood a player in a showdown. Both Dowling and Curtin will play Sanfl.

We won a game. The only change will be forced change. Smith will certainly come back.

Baptism of fire but Nicksy is wondering about the insect living on his head.

Curtin will play AFL this week, as confident as I've been that he will based on his SANFL performance today. Dowling hasn't been great so won't be near it, but Curtin putting in a top 3 performance on the ground type game is something even Nicks can't ignore now. Oskar Ryan should be very close as well, better than anything Hamill has done at AFL or SANFL level.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Did they give any update on Pedlar during the game?

Seemed a stock-standard shoulder dislocation. Hopefully went back in clean.

He already had the shoulder taped up. Has he dislocated it before?

 

[Rory Walkerfield]

Curtin best on for us with 30 touches and a goal.

Bring Murphy in lols

 

[1990crow]

Out: Hamill, Pedlar (inj)
In: Curtin, Schoenberg

Not sure about a dislocation, but he had a shoulder injury in the year before he was drafted, and then another one they year after. He always wear the shoulder taping, I think.

 

[Hbanger]

Haven't seen the SANFL match so only going by the stats. 30 disposals for Curtin, surely he gets a game in the 1's.

 

[Bearded Clam]

Curtin 30 touches and a goal in a best on ground for Adelaide perfomance in the SANFL today..

Doesnt have the right “values” yet… so wont come in for Pedlar..

Watch Nicks talk his way out of a debut for him.. the piss weak flog.
