Pretty much only two clubs in the whole comp that don't get looked after one way or another....Crows and WC.

These fn umpires

12 to 16 hrs later i reckon

Wow, that last goal! 60m kick for an U18 who only looks a tex height forward. Is very pacey. Has a good goal sense and good kicking skills. We wouldn't qualify for any special access but looks like he might be a south australian worth keeping an eye on.

If it was me I'd use Luko as a wingman. Why couldn't he play there? Tank/endurance must be the main question or only question. Tall, can take a grab, fast enough, skilled with ball in hand, feels to me like he'd be a taller Seedsman replacement. Nank on one wing and Luko on the other sounds...

Butts for Petty, would you do it? Maybe an exchange of picks to even it up.

Essendon have beaten us the last 7 times we've played them I think. Havent beaten them since 2017. Last 3 have all been at Marvel, a ground we hardly play at. Have beaten us a couple of times at AO as well though.

As at this morning, we've played the bottom 5 of the top 8. Next week we play the team sitting in 9th. The week after that its North, that's our first genuinely easier one. Then after that its Port (currently top 8). In 3 weeks time we'll have played 7 of the top 9 (as it sits). In the...

I apologise for doubting you

Good That was a fantastic game of footy. Couldn't ask for more. Soligo had a fantastic game, really coming of age. Rankine had a great game. Thought Cook was serviceable enough for his experience, didn't get heaps of it but his opponent didn't kill us and he was damaging when he had it...

Breaking down exactly the same as the AFL, get it to the half forward, turn it over, run it down the other end and they get a goal.

What?

Strange how little we seem to switch the play in the SANFL compared to how much we're doing it at AFL level (and I think we still don't do it enough at AFL)

Haha, such happy people! Grr, starting the changes thread too early grrrr. I mean my main comment was regarding running two ruckmen and after seeing Essendon with two last night, I thought about posting my comment on that, could've done this thread last night. No need to wait til todays...

Any chance we finally run Strachany and ROB together? I saw Bombers have two ruckmen in there in Goldstein and Draper. If ever there was a time for us to try those two together, this would be it. Will we rush in Sloaney too for the experience if we lose this week? I'll be here for the melts...

? SANFL v Centrals is Sat at 2:30 Crows v Carlton is Sat at 4:05

Risky. We are super inexperienced at playing on Marvel and got belted there last year. Admittedly i think only 7 of the team had ever played there before. This year we should have about 15-17 players that have played there at least once. Dunno if that's enough for us to grasp how to play it.

That press conference had a lot in it. I didn't take away that they'll ring the changes this week though. The bit about Rachele having a good game but not that the public would see it was one point. Regarding why we are going bad, he said trying too hard. What I think that means is that...

The step up between AFL and SANFL is greater than for other reserve leagues? No way. SANFL to AFL would be the least. I can see the club having issues with other aspects of the SANFL though.

Far out, i know people are frustrated but some of the stuff that gets claimed on here is so far off the mark. Rankine is faster, more agile, better skilled, more footy iq and more tank than Stengle. Its not even close. Our gameplan is nothing like every other gameplan in the comp. Every...

New Bon Jovi tune?

how do you get 36.5 hitouts, where does the .5 come from?

The gameplan where they are constantly under pressure does that. One of the key parts that s**t me about it. Even Max made some bad ones today.

That little lapse period where they went goal-goal-goal late in the 2nd ends up being the difference. Just annoying that such a short very bad period cost us.

We've gone away from switching a lot this week too, compared to last. Kinda a bit sad about that. Also, it could be worth bringing the ball into our forward 50 along the ground, can't hurt, however we'd never try something that creative.

Well its a tight game late in the 2nd. We're a young side, less hardened and we've done a fair bit of attacking in that qtr, mightve burnt some fuel. We're not a good goal scoring team ourselves so the last thing we want to do is concede. I would've sent the runner out to make sure that, if...

Had a dream about this game last night. We are serviceable, competitive even, but still end up losing. Take that for what you will. In other news, re people disappointed about the lack of debutantes, we have the most complex gameplan in the AFL, our young seasoned players (keays, crouch...

fwiw I thought there was actually some good signs in that game against Freo. For context, I didn't see any of it live and I only got to listen in on radio in the last term when they started belting us and so I listened for a few minutes and turned it off. When I saw my Crows mate on Sunday he...

Gotta admit, even I'm thinking things aren't looking too rosy right now. I think the whole comp has taken a leaf out of Collingwoods attacking book, as teams commonly do, copying what the premier from last year did. This attacking gamestyle has been enabled and enhanced by the 6/6/6 and stand...

For all you guys criticizing selection, what happens if we win this week? Is Nicks vindicated and your theories about selection relegated? This was exactly what the round 3 thread was like last year too. Darcy being out for them is a massive advantage for us. I know Jackson has been in...
