Check the SANFL thread from lastyear and the changes thread from last year.

If you had read other peoples posts in this thread, you would have seen I wanted Dowling in as sub and McHenry out. Billy took a while to look comfortable in the SANFL last year and there were more posters saying delist him than those saying he should be playing in the AFL. He improved as the...

Very astute. The same happened with Ugle-Hagan. Selected at Pick One in the 2020 draft but not selected until Round 16 in 2021 and only 5 games in his first season. Naturally he demanded a trade to Collingwood at the end of the season and the rest is history. Similar story with Sam Darcy who...

The “Shape Keeper” is the modern day version of the “Kenny McGregor”. Towards the end of Kenny’s career he was barely touching the ball. I heard an interview on 5aa when they asked if Ken’s spot in the team was under question. “Certainly not” said Phil Harper, “Ken is playing his role very...

What a selection dilemma, so many to drop and so few to bring in. Call me a pessimist but I thought we were a tad lucky to beat Carlton. Whilst we changed the midfield mix, the game plan etc, etc the key difference was our goal kicking. If 80% of our scoring shots were goals in our other...

1) Pedlar wasn’t in the best of nick when he returned for the preseason. 2) Pedlar didn’t look great in the preseason match sim. 3) Pedlar didn’t look great in the preseason matches 4) Pedlar has looked awful in the AFL this year. I have always been a Pedlar fan but this is a wake up call. A...

Prior to the Geelong game, Dowling, Curtin, Ryan and Bond had showed little in the preseason hit outs. Were you at Alberton when most of the KIDS come on after the third period? The standout player was Ned the whipping boy. Curtin struggled in the Ones. I will just go and check what your team...

6 I am confident that if we debut a KID interstate, and we were smashed, and the KID lost confidence then all the posters on the changes board would say “Not your fault Nicksy, at least you gave it a crack”

I can’t see a bucket load of changes. After watching the Twos play South Adelaide I said, 1) Only Nankervis and Dowling should be promoted. It looks like we need to see at least another good game from Dowling but I would have played him last week. 2) Curtin seems to lack a bit of confidence...

Using the Fxxxot word as a homophobic slur sounds like something my grandfather would have said. Has the word found new popularity with millennials? At least Clarko used a more universal term. I presume Boomers, Gen X, Millenials and Gen Z are all familiar with the sock cutter reference?

I will treat your question with respect. Prior to the season I estimated that we would win 13 games. Based on last year (the only 23 game season in the AFL) I predicted that we would finish 6th. The bookies had us at equal 8th and the AFL “experts” also had us just inside or outside the Eight...

Thank you Bevoman, I am so envious of OneClub. You shouldn’t waste your time posting on our Board, you should be booking your Grand Final accomodation. What a super start to the year, smacking the 18th and 11th team from 2023 at home PLUS a huge away win against the 2023 13th team. You were...

Surely we will be the first team in the history of the AFL/VFL to go 0-23. We should forfeit all of our away games so we are well rested for the home games.

Dowling definitely at the top of the list. Zac Taylor may have been line ball with him prior to his “rest” due to concussion. Curtin next in-line but he has seemed a bit hesitant since hurting his knee. Amongst the remaining players yet to debut, I would go Ryan then Edwards then Bond and...

I hope we don’t put too much pressure on a lad that doesn’t turn 18 until the end of this season. I agree that he has good pace and agility to go with his bull like strength. When he collided with a South player in a marking contest in the last quarter (right in front of me), I thought he was...

I wandered down to Noarlunga yesterday and my impressions fwiw. 1) South will struggle this year however I think this is only the second time our Twos have won with 10 or more top ups (the other time from memory was a couple of years ago against an awful West Adelaide). It was great to see so...

If you check my comments from previous weeks; 1) I have had Nankervis in my 22 from Round One. 2) I would also have had Curtin in from Round 1 providing he was fully fit. Imagine playing a Kid who was not fully fit, he gets injured and I can predict the comments from the Tools and Trolls. 3)...

Release The Nank!!!! I will be watching the Twos tomorrow to hopefully find some changes for next Thursday.

So many deserve a run in the Twos……….but who is demanding selection? Out - Butts (inj) In Borlase (last man standing) Out - Murphy. In Nankervis Brodie doesn’t deserve a game but yarda, yarda, yarda I will be wandering down to Noarlunga tomorrow (will it be a Good...

Our experienced players have been known to play with a fractured limb and a minor dose of Ebola. I think we may be in the clear with this drama.

Is this similar to a “reverse cowboy”?

Are we really going to keep Parnell out in case there is a late, late change tonight? Is Bond injured?

I don’t think it is over the top to say this is a must win match. We are clear favourites, at home, in perfect conditions, with close to our best team. I predict Crows by 15 points Murphy will play a blinder (13 disposals including a goal) and will be a automatic selection until June The...

As I stated prior to selections, the only change to the 23 that I preferred was Nankervis for McHenry. The good news is that we played Nankervis on the wing in the Twos last week and I believe this is his best spot in the team (we have better options for the medium sized defender role)...

Lucky I posted an hour before the media twitter or I would risk being labelled a sycophant 😁.

After a meaningless trial match against the Suns in a tropical storm, I am looking forward to the start of the season against Geelong. My team reflects my best available 22 (and ignores the greasy pig cup at Carrara). In - Walker Out - Gollant In - Soligo Out - Sholl In - Keane...

I am enjoying the steady improvement in Thilthorpe but he struggles in wet, slippery conditions at the moment. I just rewatched the Round 23 game v Sydney and he had 3 disposals. Tex also finds these conditions tough but usually manages to have some influence. Our fortunes tonight will mostly...

In an ideal world, we bring on a runner for Burgess half way through the third quarter. If the conditions are humid and slippery then we don’t need too many talls.

The interview that I heard was with Burton from North Adelaide. He said that their first impression was that the rule change meant 21 days for SANFL players but only 12 days for AFL listed players in the SANFL. He went on to say that this has been clarified and it will be the same for both...

Gold Coast are justifiably favourites but the line is only 5.5 points. I think all results are possible (comfortable win, narrow win, narrow loss, big loss). We had a solid home win against the Suns in Round 21 last year but both teams will be very different on Saturday. A win will be a great...
