The sub rule is a tricky one to use for Strategy IMO as it rarely plays out how you think it will.

For me the sub role should be filled two ways -

1. to get a player back into the team (from injury) and taste AFL football or
2. Have a specialist sub like McHenry who is known to perform well in the role.



I am just shocked that Sholl is in the side. I have been on the Sholl bandwagon for the past few years, but my hope faded in 2024.

Lets hope he dominates!

I cringe every time someone calls McHenry a specialist sub and performs well at it .
He comes in and runs around like a headless chook and in 1 game did ok as and posters keep quoting as .
He is a no talent midget that gives away frees ,possession when he can get near ball.
We have talent like Taylor,Dowling , Soligo or Sholl along with Cook etc etc that much more worth giving opportunity to.

Wonder if we announce sub as part of selections tonight (like on our website article), or when they’re officially made public

We smashed BRisbane that match in 1997. Mods kicked 7. Roo and Brett James dominated.

What you may be thinking off is this that he said on the 97 were the pride of South Asutralia Video

"I never get too excited about the result of round one. Sometimes when you win it the whole club can over the top. So ive always been relaxed about round one. But it was exciting, We had some new players playing. Brett James played a magnificent game first up and Mark Riccuito started on a role as did Tony MOdra. So it was a good start but not one that you could really get carried away with.

Just when I thought my memory was perfect. Thought about doing some research to confirm, googled - didn't find the quote I wanted in two seconds of viewing so went with a 27 year old memory. What could possibly go wrong?

So Sholl and Berry confirmed starting

Out of the bench five I’d make Murphy sub. I don’t understand why Soligo should pay for being recently injured, especially as he looked good in that WC 2nd half

Yeah I’d make Murphy sub out of those but Sholl would have been my first choice

If they go Soligo I suspect it’s due to it being a long season and they’re also happy to have some quality come on in second half

The fact that Tex has been pulled out , Borlaise ahead of Keane and if Soligo is sub it’s kind of consistent with giving the fit guys who haven’t missed much first crack knowing that it’s a long year - that’s the only thing I can think of

I have no doubt Soligo is best 22
