Preview R4: Changes vs. Gold Coast Suns (Match of the Round!!!)

[CrowBloke]

Because any opposition player can fend off sholl with their pinky...

Others, by exhaling in his direction ...

 

[CrowBloke]

Will be interesting to see if Rowell/Anderson’s literal league-best form is sustainable. Either way, it’s a scary group to come up against. I hope Peatling is used in there more this week

Only area I’m confident we have them covered is our fwds vs their defenders

I swear ... that avatar ... it's like the little bait-ey thing that an anglerfish uses.

Can't ... look ... away ... next minute, CHOMP!! and I'm reading another sensible post.

 

[CrowBloke]

Think Butts and Downing come in for Borlase and Rash.

... and leave Binny Dowling in the SANFL?

Just smash your phone, I believe that's the recommended solution

You wish.

That stuff is not on my system. I quoted it off his post.

Wouldn’t get too fascinated with stats re guys that play on the wing

Sometimes you get used all day and sometimes you don’t

If he stopped covering back into defence and providing outlet option offensively and in general not competing then he’d be dropped

Certainly not after one quiet game stats wise after 2 handy ones

Interesting hearing Adam Simpson the other day talking about the position of the “red wing”.
No one wanted to play it except Chris mastern (I think he said it was), because that was basically ticket into the team.
But his role was basically be where the ball was not, but to hold the shape.

Sorry , it’s a day of iceman memories

A shape…keeper?

Yeah premiership shape keeper

I'll bite; what does that mean, please?

"I'd rather have Nank in the team than Milera". Are you walking that back now?

Sigh. Poor simple fella. I don’t think it needs to be one or the other. I’ve written that in enough places that you must be trying very hard to not understand it.

 

[FR0GGY]

I was surprised, I thought he was going to say he wanted him to be an option on the other wing.
But he literally said he didn’t want him where the ball was.

Edit: Heard another snippet of this this morning and he literally said his role was to run to the boundary to create space to allow the halfbacks to come through.

Could bring Nank in and move Laird back into the midfield.

I think Laird is looking good down back, Nank is a very good player. We need him in the team too but who do we drop?

Milera

I think its right, we will know where we stand after the next 4 games, when we play Suns, Cats, Giants and Freo.

It will show a lot more accurately where we stand. A team that looks to make the 8, a prelim and semi final team of 2025 that should have beaten the Lions in those finals and team that just missed the 8.

So far we have only beaten 3 bottom 8 Clubs in 2024.

Were a bottom 4 club from 2024.... I get your point and more data is more evidence. I think its the way were winning which isn't being taken seriously yet.

I got the chance to watch a game from last year against Melbourne and my god it was infuriating to watch us stand there and switch the ball then bomb the ball to nobody.

 

[FullyBigKPro]

Does Pedlar or maybe Taylor/Cook get a look in if we are replacing Rachele like for like?

Sid full game, Sholl sub.

Can't see many more changes unless Murray or Butts fit to replace Borlase....

 

[baldandbroke]

Did he drop the M word

He said they wanted to bring an "AFL-Ready player" a number of times. "Someone who we know can handle the pace of AFL footy".

 

[FR0GGY]

Sounds like Nank

We have a number of those, if he uses that excuse to pick Murphy when we’ve already got Keays and ANB playing his role, would love to hear his defenders explain it

 

[baldandbroke]

I was trying hard to hear that - or Dowling or Taylor - but the emphasis on experience gave me pause!!

Fingers crossed.

He did say some of the SANFL players are playing the best footy of their careers and haven't been able to break into the AFL team ... if I blur my ears I can still imagine him talking about the "M" word

I'm wondering was it actually Peatling who moved into Rash's role when he came off? and had a good game doing it? and then someone like Berry be the one coming in? He seemed a lot more relaxed in that interview than normal, hoping he's got a trick up his sleeve, like a heap of CBAs for Curtin or something.

I think Draper effectively replaced Rachele.

Played 64% forward half, low posession game with two goals.

Only attended 1 CBA as well.


The Essendon game Draper attended 13 CBAs, coming on late as sub. With a closer to 50/50 split across the field.



I am hoping this week Draper starts in the 22 and part of the midfield/CBA rotation.

Draper I think became the replacement up forward.
Peatling was already playing some time forward.
