Game Day Adelaide vs Brisbane: 4-5 Season alive or 3-6 Give us picks

[Billy_01]

Lions mids all played 90%+ game time in their match last week. If we don’t bring this one home we should genuinely fold as a club.

 

[Shuestar13]

Like Obama once Said 'Don't Underestimate Nicks's Ability to F*ck Things Up'

​

Just bizarre stuff. His addiction to toilers/triers is… something!

Honestly just change him for Murphy if he must. At least Murphy has shown some levels of competence at times.

 

[WetCrow1991]

Ned, Jones and Smith are ******* useless. The first two are huge wastes of draft picks.

 

[Danger in Texas]

Rankine has been excellent

Probably best on

I don’t mind the way we’re playing, we’re mostly killing Brisbane on the turnover, just wish that we’d take away the ‘long to contest’ kicking from our gameplan

 

[Firewalker]

Jeez Smith hitting one target in the last few seconds there is going to put all the coaches minds at ease at HT…

Still can’t believe they tried to make Hipwood look competent in that term.

 

[CharlieCrow]

Feel like we're just hanging on.

We've had three days extra rest too.

Apart from Laird and Smith being completely hopeless, Hinge probably the one that's most disappointing today.

Good:
Rankine
Hindenburg
Dawson
Soligo
Worrel
Rachelle

Bad:
Laird


Ugly:
Smith McSpudely
Playing Curtin deep in defence
Nank as sub
Nicks - clueless idiot

 

[BRL121]

Curtin needs to be running off half back, not deep in defence

Yes. He leaks like a sieve in the square. Get him out of there.

 

[Punchy Bassett]

Nicks is such a dumb coach, let's kick it out long. Oh that didn't work, let's do it again and again and again. Oh it's still not working.

 

[Danger in Texas]

Ned, Jones and Smith are ******* useless. The first two are huge wastes of draft picks.

I haven’t minded Jones today

 

[MsTopG]

Doesn't look like burns misses a feed.

 

[MrBarry]

Feel like we're just hanging on.

Think its the opposite personally

 

[rocket18]

Nicks has to learn that no amount of effort can make up for composure and skill

Give him time, this is only his 5th year in charge.

 

[MrBarry]

I'm going to assume Curtin will get subbed for Nanky - even though it should blatantly be Mchnery

 

[The Karma Bus]

If you're down the bottom and tanking or hoping for good draft picks, you'd love a mid season draft so you can attempt to pry Ned from Adelaide's iron grip on him.

 

[NSolis]

One of the poorer first halves I can remember that resulted in a half-time lead.

On the positive side Rankine has been absolutely unreal. Best on by a mile.

Curtin having an absolute shocker. Not sure what we can do with him at half time, I think the plan was to have him support Max and Hinge in minding Brisbane's smaller scoring threats and it's just not working, getting absolutely pantsed by a second gamer. Maybe Jones goes back and we try and move Curtin up the ground?

Fairly likely we see Curtin subbed off for Nank this quarter though.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

• Curtin isn't a KPD, play him up the ground where he can utilise his skill-set
• Rash has been putting his body on the line
• Sholl has been decent again
• Cook has shown a bit more
• Can McHenry be a shapeshifter and actually shapeshifter into an AFL footballer?
• Laird offers nothing
• Keane has been beaten by Hipwood, luckily he can't kick
• Himmelberg suits our structure better than Gollant/Burgess who are too similar to Tex and Fog. Can't underestimate how important TT is to us
• Rankine has been excellent, probably B.O.G so far

 

[AusTerran]

Can't believe Nank is Sub for the useless headless chicken (McHenry), Laird is lazy, his player runs free every chance he gets and Laird just watches or jogs along.

 

[FR0GGY]

Doesn't look like burns misses a feed.

McHenry buys him a biscuit for his vote on selection night.

 

[Shaunbkk]

Every commentator is at least 25% worse when commentating via TV and for too many that is a very big drop

Real commentators are all retired. OR on Radio Tim Lane even a homeless 76 year old woman from Rockhampton would be nicer to listen to than Kelly

 

[Eagleboy2011]

Someone needs to save the highlights of that Ned running out of defense not knowing what to do.

 

[WetCrow1991]

Not sure how Brisbane isn’t a good way ahead. Faster, smoother ball movement and stronger in the air up forward

We have gotten lucky in some key contests.

 

[arsene wenger1]

Imagine having a ruckman that can’t be trusted to mark and uncontested 20 metre kick. Don’t tell me that’s not a liability nicks
