    Preview R5: Changes vs. Carlton

    It'd be a smart move to have Zac Taylor take a more prominent attacking role. He's been more assured with his disposals this year, but also quieter overall. So it's a good time to both trust him more, and demand more out of him than just being a structural presence. It would make the...

    Very "Oh right that's a rule" 5-second count by the ref in that last play, rather than actually enforcing the rule.

    Review R4: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly vs. Fremantle

    "It's important Jake Soligo continues to get game time to build his capacity" I'm sure at some point this becomes true. But it doesn't seem like he's had the chance to properly complete recovery to the point where he can begin building up fitness again.

    May was knocked out in a challenge some minutes earlier too. He should have been forced off under the concussion rule at that point.

    Review R4: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly vs. Fremantle

    Grabbing the ball out of the ruck hasn't been prior-opportunity since the ruck nomination rule. It was an "emergency patch" shortly after the rules introduction. The moment you re-introduce it you will have matches where the majority of ruck contests are uncontested. Unless the ruck nomination...

    The Sydney Kings ran into the problem that only comes with friendly officiating. Not having enough fouls to stop the clock at the end of the game.

    Redbacks: Back to back, baby

    Never in doubt. When I think Redbacks, I think "Calm under pressure"

    That was his only effective disposal of the game.

    Review R3: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly vs. Geelong Cats

    How did Rankine and Pedlar end up with worse stats than Fogarty (who was terrible)?

    Preview R3: Changes vs. Geelong Cats

    You could just as easily do the same with Keays. But he's unlikely to be replaced by a 197cm forward.

    Preview R3: Changes vs. Geelong Cats

    In the last two rounds of his run of form to start last year (win vs Port, Loss vs Collingwood). He kicked 7 of Adelaide's 21 goals. This year he has kicked 4 of 26. He was scoring nearly twice as much in a forward line that was statistically even worse. And if he's not a "go to forward"...

    Preview R3: Changes vs. Geelong Cats

    After the Collingwood loss last year he had kicked 25.4 in 8 games. In the 17 games since (including the start to this year) he has kicked 20.16. Even extrapolating this year out to 8 games is 16.8, well below his best. You can certainly consider dropping him if you are wanting to maintain...

    If you were wanting to "make a statement", Maley in for Fogarty would be a good one.

    Review R2: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly vs. Western Bulldogs

    You could describe about 15 players with the following conversation: "Did you see the thing PLAYER did in the XTH quarter?" "Wow! That's incredible! What else did they do?" "Nothing!"
