So don’t play half fit players

He wasn't even half fit. I am for Gulden and Paps coming back via VFL. But they won't. Fox is ready. But even though thexome back they are not half fit. They are just not match fit.

 

[bedford]

Here we go

 

[Adnico26Parker]

Errol and Paps officially tests

Adams out with a hamstring

Someone won't like that , some i think like it when we are shit

I just hope they keep Mills at half back because we can’t be having Blakey at 5 touches at 3QT like we did for a month.

Put Roberts on the wing and he be the one to go into the contest whilst keeping Errol and JMAC running wide on the outside

What does that even mean? are you trying to say some would rather lose?

21 next Saturday with chance of showers later , but will leave it up to our SA experts

If it is late rain then kick with the wind in the first. If the rain at the beginning of the game come home with the wind at your back. Adelaide Oval will be hard to score on a windy and wet night. The wind will swirl the rain about. And the rain is normally pushed by a strong Southerly. But it will be blustery. If it is going to rain all match then come home with the wind. Don't mount a huge defence in the third. Play keepings off. I'd you tire yourself in the third at Adelaide oval then you waste the wind in the last.

Many others would say take the wind in the first. I would say only if it's not raining. The wind will be blowing a gale by the last. Food thing we are not playing Adelaide as Dawson would be slotting them from centre

 

[Bloods86]

Out: Adams Lloyd Hanily
In: Amartey Roberts Cleary
Sub: Corey

Roberts up the ground, backup on wing or HF instead of Corey.

Instead of 3 KPFs and sacrificing Parker like in the Prelim, would rather go with 2 target KPFs in Amartey and McLean, sacrifice Francis on Aliir or Esava.

Gulden back? Aliir out? Adams definitely injured. Maybe a bit to go yet.

I'm saying what I would do, including Adams out. I won't be surprised at all if we name Gulden and would be shocked if we dropped Lloyd.

If Aliir plays or doesn't, Esava might be the one to sit on if he looks like repeating his game in defence against the Dees. Finlayson might come in for Aliir down back.

Snark incoming:

Why oh why did we sign a clearly injury prone & past his prime Adams for so many years.

 

[Dubai Quacker]

The way Horne-Francis has been kicking this year, maybe we should let him run around doing what he wants. He might do a better job at hitting Swans targets than any of our players!

I’d like to see Gus go to Horne Francis and reminisce about old times.

Certainly seemed to be a popular decision on this board at the time.

Shiny new toy syndrome at play I’m afraid.

Adams was a very good player. But 3 year was always a strong chance of ending in tears.

That’s crying type teams, although hammy tears are equally apt.

Well, we could have offered him a lesser deal, missed out, then some who criticise the club for "doing nothing" in the trade period would have had a field day. Now at least some of them (not you specifically) can criticise the club for doing what they thought was great at the time.

That’s true.

And the club certainly can’t get everything right all the time.

But if Adams is in our best midfield next year, we have big problems. Unfortunately he’s now in list clogger territory.
