Preview Changes vs Adelaide

[mic59]

Because he played a shocker.

It was his first game back in, dropping him straight away doesn't solve anything. And with Hartlett out he's next cab off the rank in marshalling the troops. What can't be argued with is that an in-form Pittard is in our best 22. And he's not going to reach his best form if he doesn't know if he's Arthur or Martha.

 

[It Just Is]

Jake Neade still in after zero kicks. Sigh. Although with Marshall, AJ and Thomas unavailable not sure we had much choice.

Clurey for Pittard makes sense this week for matchups I guess but one of Clurey or Hombsch has to go out next week. There aren’t a lot of sides who you can get away with 4 KPD’s against. The Crows are one of them. Gold Coast definitely aren’t, especially with Lynch and Wright on the injury list.

How far away is Broadbent?

With Hartlett done for the year he looms as a potentially important player for us again.

Listed as (TBC) on the injury list since 2015.

 

[Eddie Dingle]

Best changes ever.

Could/should have been a few more.

I saw those 4 heads and

 

[chachi11]

That team looks like sex on paper...too bad our coach on paper looks like trash..

Seriously we shouldn't be playing as crap as we are with this team.

 

[Enviable Tradition]

Absolutely no melts from me!

Thank Christ Pittard is out... nowhere near AFL ready, needs to rip the 2s apart before coming back in IMO.

My mail is that Walker will be a late out and Fogarty back in.

I hope not.

Last thing we need is an excuse to switch off

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Neade must have played the best 5 handball game in the history of the AFL. I can't believe how many people are saying it's ok he is still in because AJ is injured and would have replaced him.

It's not like AJ was the last option available. Ken could have gone all in and picked Kane Farrell who is showing really good form as a small forward. Just for once could we be brave at selection again and maybe get what we deserve?

Happy with the other changes. At least they made sense.

 

[Power Raid]

28. All Australian.


Breakout game.


K.

Break out game in teal!

He’s been rookie like in 2018

Kane may lack afl gps numbers at this point of his career

Liking the changes!

I'm actually surprised we made 4 changes. Ken is usually two, three max.

 

[rumoursofwinter]

Meh.

It's a better team.

I have given up on Neade. I think Houston suits our crap game style.

I'm not convinced we will play a forward line.

I'm a fan of aj. Hopefully it is just a niggle.

I don't see the point of dropping Pittard after one game.

It would have been nice to see Frampton play as a forward / backup ruck.

Team is a lot more talented and contested but meh i'm not convinced.

It still looks like ken hinkley.

 

[Magus]

I dont want to see Houston crap his pants when he gets tackled this week. Try to stay upright Dan.

 

[El Zorro]

We've gone all in. We either click or we start to say goodbye to yet another season. I like it.

 

[finbarr]

Neade isn't great, but you know what he does do? He hits his targets and kicks the goals he's supposed to. Arguably our best set shot inside 50. Not sure whether that's more a positive for Neade or a negative for everyone else.

 

[EskimoPAFC]

Very, very happy Floggarty isn't playing. He is the exact type of player you would expect to rip us apart in a showdown.

Few guys I'd probably have in the team over Neade, but hands are a bit tied with no AJ or Marshall available. Couldn't possibly bring Trengove in to have his first game in a Showdown. Tough ask for Atley too. Maybe it's not too bad.

Sorry to interrupt but have you heard about our lord and saviour Jack Watts?

 

[Kingfish73]

Houston is lucky for mine. Neade also lucky, saved by AJ injury.

Happy with selection except Houston and Neade. Houston is our softest defender. Will get monstered this game. Neade lucky - inept last week. Should not be awarding them games.

Neade actually stays down and crumbs as well...he knows he's a midget and doesn't fly for marks when he shouldn't be.

Yep. Gun. He didn't waste a single kick last week.

 

[finbarr]

All I ask of Neade is that he brings what he brought against North Melbourne. I'll settle for that.

Who called him a gun?

This.

Finbarr and I agree for once. Hallelujah.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Kane may lack afl gps numbers at this point of his career

I don't doubt the selectors have reasons not to pick him. But GPS numbers haven't helped in every big test match this year.

 

[Pappagallo]

All I ask of Neade is that he brings what he brought against North Melbourne. I'll settle for that.

It’s not an unreasonable expectation. At this point in his career 15 touches and 2 goals should be his average weekly contribution to the team.
