Preview R8: Changes vs. Carlton - Nicks Sucks and Must be Sacked

[dogs105]

Sack Nicks

 

[SugarShane]

He got caught because he's become greedy. He isn't giving the first option like he used to.

I still think he has a goals trigger in his contract.

Seeming like a weekly occurrence for him to ignore the first and second options before tangling himself up in a way he's too slow to get out of before getting caught holding the ball. Father time is knocking very loudly on his door.

He's still good to body his way to a few marks and goals per game but more of his game is becoming a liability.

He didn't used to do it.
Across his career he has been very sefless and a great teammate. That's why it stands out so much now.

He's 35, it was bound to happen.

It's a shame because for a large part of his career he's been a very unselfish player, almost to his detriment

Just beat me to it

Absolutely. The loudest I ever used to yell at the screen was because he passed one off inside 50.

 

[Crow-eater]

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Need to make significant changes after that performance so hopefully some put their hand up in the sanfl.

In: Butts, Dowling, Fogarty, McAndrew, Berry, Pedlar
Out: Keane, Milera, O'Brien, Crouch, Draper, Taylor

B: Murray, Butts, Hinge
HB: Michaelanny, Worrell, Dawson
C: Dowling, Soligo, Cumming
HF: ANB, Fogarty, Keays
F: Rachele, Thilthorpe, Walker
R: McAndrew, Peatling, Rankine
I: Laird, Berry, Curtin, Pedlar
Sub: Nankervis

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Hopefully can play next week

 

[Cromulant]

I can't see him missing too much footy at all with a dislocated finger.

 

[Cromulant]

Hopefully can play next week

Can't see why he wouldn't

 

[1970crow]

Regardless, goals are what will get him an extension. I feel we're going to ruin his season chasing 300.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Can't see why he wouldn't

Gather depends on how swollen.

At least has a 8 day break.

 

[Crow_Magnon]

I reckon TT will miss this week. FFS...lets hope Fog gets up! We need to change things up...more speed on ball, Crouch should be dropped. Hope some of those in the SANFL put their hands up tomorrow. We could be without TT & Worrell next week for a must win game. Dawson up fwd? Butts to come in for McKay, Muzz on Curnow?

 

[Coopers]

cripps is gonna get like 50 touches

Imagine his personal free kick count if this game was in Melbourne too

 

[Coopers]

He got caught because Freo were totally onto the idea of him grabbing the ball out of the ruck to kick a goal. He had 2 or 3 players sweating on him each time he went to ruck in the forward line.

Then you'd think if oppo players are crowding him, someone should be able to get free from those players to be a target to tap it to.

 

[LC40]

I know Charlie Edwards has been playing as a defender in the SANFL but he's in really good form and we need to see him.
As the Adelaide bio says I quote..."
Adelaide selected Edwards at the 2023 AFL National Draft with Pick No.21. He's a big-bodied midfielder who had an eye-catching 2023 season with the Sandringham Dragons in the Coates Talent League. Edwards started the season in defense but was moved onto the ball mid-year and relished the opportunity with his leg-speed and penetrating kick."

We selected him in the draft as a big bodied midfielder so lets try him there first, if he's not quite performing we can put him back into defense.
Our midfield needs a shake up, lets get some extra size and pace around the ball.

Welcome back Brodie Smith!

Glad Worrell has avoided a ban, imo he's been our most solid defender this year.

 

[Cromulant]

Welcome back Brodie Smith!

This might be the opening for Charlie Edwards TBH

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Welcome back Brodie Smith!

Buggar, this is a big loss.

Move Dawson back for Hinge as otherwise we will struggle to move the ball.

 

[Eagleboy2011]

Buggar, this is a big loss.

Move Dawson back for Hinge as otherwise we will struggle to move the ball.

Surely, we appeal both. Soft.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Moronic by Hinge

Poor discipline by him and Keane during the game. As if it's not difficult enough.

Really interested to see what we do structurally. Maybe Dawson slots straight into Hinge's role?

Really pleased for Worrell. Had an excellent game and drove quite a few attacks. Looks like he's about to jump a level.

 

[Carn The Texan]

Lucky James Worrell!

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Surely, we appeal both. Soft.

Doubt we appeal a fine.
