Preview 1st Preliminary Final-Adelaide vs Geelong, Adelaide Oval Friday 22nd Sept 7.50pm

[Willo_]

And he did everything that could have been expected of him. But nows the time to be pjaying your best available 22, and this week we've done that

Yeah I mean no disrespect to Zuth, I was one of the few that didn't panic with him coming in against the Tiges.. he oozes composure and is made for finals, will be an absolute player in a couple of years..

But as you said... the time is now to pick best 22

Taylor will play back. Adelaide have a taller forward line and we have plenty of options up forward with Stanley, Menzel and Hawkins.

I reckon we'll start Danger forward as well.

Even with Taylor back we're still too slow up fwd. Stanley is hopeless, I'd rather see Zuthrie having a crack... we'll see.

Menzel better run his ass off.

 

[catempire]

We've had the same set-up all year.

You new here?

When we lose it was "too tall".

When we win everyone ignores it.

What a season for our kids. 9 debutantes if I'm not wrong.......and every single one of them has played an important role at some stage.

Holds us in very good stead for 2018

But Stanley is quick.
Hopeless, yes most of the time but is quick.

I reckon Guthrie honestly struggles to get back in barring any injuries, most balanced side we have had all year.

 

[BIGANT]

Looking fwd to it...found out I was going this morning. Standing room only on the western side. Actually trying picture that but I really don't know ?

One to many talls. I think. Hawk, Smith, Rhys, Hendo, Taylor, Lonners, ....Blitz

How many talls do we consider they have

Tex,Jenkins,Lynch,Otten,Lever,Talia,Hartigan and Jacobs, it is basically even on paper.

Motlop, Cockatoo, Stanley and Parfitt are 4 of the quickest players on the ground. Then there's Dangerfield who is an explosive beast.

 

[Jhye Clark 13]

Z.Guthrie and Parsons have flown over with the team.

This is the key to the game and why Danger needs to be forward - it takes the pressure off the other forwards and hopefully they can join in the goal kicking. Our mids need to bring it in enough obviously though.

 

[juzcat]

Walker Jenkins otten lynch Jacob's Talia lever

About the same

Thanks..based on that we match 7 for 7 except that the matchup on Lynch will be Stewart. So it works assuming Hendo plays as a loose

Big call bringing Cockatoo in, but that's how you win flags, I certainly wont be getting angry of something happens to his hammie during the game, I always want the selection panel to back in their judgement.

Nervous about tomorrow night, I just hope the guys didn't play their Grand Final last Friday.

We play like we did against the Swans and I think we are on our way.

Go Cats!!!!

If it were Richmond we surely use him for Dusty? Or wouldn't he be match hardened?
Anywayyyyyy back to this week. I like our side, we're focused imo. Me not so much

I am terrified when Stanley kicks on goal..makes Mooney look like Dunstall. Pls someone teach him to drop the ball from anywhere below 1.5 meters

Hope Blitz gets a chance to linger tackle Sloane and break his ankle as payback.

We’re better than that...

 

[Willo_]

The complete lack of respect our players gets from the media is great...
LITTLE Nicky dal on 360... I'm just waiting for Danger and Selwood to fail they can't do it everyweek.

Just ignores the fact Sel wasn't huge last week, and that we beat good teams in the end of the H&A without Sel...


Let's hope by 5pm on Saturday next weekend a few more are respected

Agree with that. Although he's an "on paper" best 22 player if we win this prelim it's hard to justify dropping anyone for the form he was in.

He used to be such a lovely set shot, now for whatever reason he drops it from his chin and it can go bloody anywhere

Go watch the kardinia park Richmond game - or even last weeks game. He kicked crucial goals in both. fair dinkum some of you people are whining negative biatches

 

[Seeds]

Too tall.

Stanley should have gone and Zuthrie should have stayed... Their speed will kill us.

Is that the stanley that won the gf sprint that is too slow?

Stanley quick, yes (I guess)

Agile? Not so sure...

Hopefully I'm wrong, like I normally am when I post here...

And it's not like with Hawkins where your trust him more from further out because he kicks through the ball better.

With Stanley I just don't even know if he will even kick the ball, let alone where it's going to end up

Mate I'm a Stanley supporter.. but his goal kicking seems much more erratic these days. When they showed the side on shot he put on the full last week it was no wonder he missed, awful high ball drop.

* I'd love him to go large tomorrow for 2 reasons.. the back peddling by some here, and because it would mean we are in a GF
