Preview Changes: R14 vs Gold Coast, Sunday June 19, 2.50pm ACST @ Metricon Stadium

[Kane McGoodwin]

Will be sub

No, Schoenberg named as sub.

 

[George Kramer]

No, Schoenberg named as sub.

No we don’t name it yet, that’s highlighting he was the sub last game

[Kane McGoodwin]

Dropping one of our better players Hinge & keeping in arguably our worst performing player Crouch is mind boggling.

We just need to get Dawson back to a wing & Hately back in the guts... so I would play Laird in defence.

 

[Geoffa32]

How do you reckon you guys are going to line up in the backline?

Rankine - Parnell
Ainsworth - Hamill
Holman - Smith
Jeffrey - Doedee
Chol - Murray
Casboult - Butts

Pretty even, maybe Rankine ahead of Parnell as a one on one.

This is our best back six all year and isn't too bad.

[conVINCEd]

Hmmm... got a horrible feeling we're about to drop Hinge so that Dawson can stay down back

Making Brown come back via reserves is a positive

Do you have a feeling Crouch will be dropped next week for Hinge? Can you, please?

Yep heard that

 

[Eagleboy2011]

Mick Godden on Kymbo and Rooch tonight....Turner out for another week in the SANFL it seems.
Talks about AFL selection etc.

Not sure who Rowey was talking to tonight but they said 1week and maybe 2 out. hey must rate him very highly as why would you recruit an injured rookie player.

You’ve forgotten Dawson.
He’s our no 1 defender apparently.

Midfield too stacked for Jordy to get a run in there.

 

[George Kramer]

Well there is that

 

[Kezza86]

Yes. However, if he can play consistent, complete games like the single one he managed earlier this year, then he might earn an appearance.

That’s 1 game in 2 years…

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

We were too small last week, and Butts for either Hinge or Hamill was the obvious move.

The obvious move was Butts into the backline for Dawson, with Dawson moving further up the field

Every team we play against would be delighted to see Dawson line up down back

Do you think any of the coaches would have suggested this?

Tragically no

Feel like they're all singing from the same hymn sheet. Not a lot of friction down there.

 

[CrowBloke]

I've been pretty loyal to Nicks & co but this selection shits me as it's clearly not based on any football evidence. Crouch is easily the most ineffectual player in our team. Furthermore, if looking to the future, it's abysmal for development.

I'm off to open another bottle now... Spilt most of the first one when I read the final teams.

It's clear to me now that Nicks' selections (Crouch in, Hinge out, Dawson back AGAIN), like his game "plan", are part of his loss-minimisation strategy which is more about saving his own neck than developing the side.
At the end of the year when he's asked about win-loss and ladder position he'll be able to squeak:
"Yeah, we lost a lot of games, but we didn't get annihilated by anybody", then smile that big ole smile of his.

 

[George Kramer]

Remember all the preseason talk from the club and Dawson about playing midfield? I also wonder what our sell job to Dawson was, we will play you as a defender or mid?

He's listed as an OUT on the SANFL side, so looks like it.

He's 5th in the league for marks per game, 8th for kicks and 6th for metres gained per game, I don't think there's any team who's happy to see him anywhere on the field. He causes trouble, especially down back and teams have to counter him, especially if he starts getting off the chain.

 

[thebirdman 24]

So whats the deal with Hinge? Seems to get dropped at every opportunity. Below average in most stats but rated highly by fans.

Wonderful that Murphy has been dropped but horrible Crouch has been retained.

It's the first time he's been dropped without being injured since he's been at the club.

If he was getting those stats as an attacking wingman, I'm sure teams would be a lot more concerned, getting them in D50, not so much

Reckon he’d cause teams lots of trouble delivering to our forwards and kicking the odd goal

Starting scoring chains from the back half can be a huge source of points, it's how we scored heavily in 2016-17. To pretend teams are less concerned with Dawson when he's in the back half of the field when they have clearly made efforts to man him up because of the damage he's causing is silly.

Reckon he’d cause teams lots of trouble delivering to our forwards and kicking the odd goal

He's 4th at the club for I50's for us.
