Preview Adelaide vs Essendon, Adelaide Oval, Friday 19/07/19, 7:50 AEST

[DapperJong]

I just hope we have no injuries and it's not a smashing. If we lose, fine. Re-group for Gold Coast.

But if we win. Oh boy wow-wee...

Exactly my feelings.

I’ve had this marked down as a loss for a while and the last 3 weeks look like they’ve taken a toll on us.

I actually wouldn’t mind seeing a few players rested.

 

[MiguelM]

How far off is Ambrose?

 

[carloss]

Raz was probably the reason we won just as much as Tippa. He was the one that got to the ball when it was at it's hottest and kicked it to Tippa's area. Raz is a lifter even when he's not kicking goals.

Raz had 5 disposals for the game.

Yeah we looked spent for most of the last quarter and a few tough weeks in a row are playing a toll. We can still make finals with a loss here, so a rest for a few isn't the worst idea.

Not a bad idea to keep Raz locked up at tulla and well away from Adelaide...for 2 reasons. To try and recover from whatever he is carrying and keep poachers away.

 

[ghostdog]

I know he shot it down but could him wanting to go back to SA be affecting his performance?

Then he'll want to impress and play well. Win win

 

[ghostdog]

Raz had 5 disposals for the game.

At least one fifth of those were game changers. I hear you though; either something ain't right or Marley Williams is a gun.

In: Heppell, Bezerker
Out: Hurley (inj), Fantasia (inj)

No VFL next week either.

Exactly what I posted earlier in the thread.

Good changes and smash those Crwobots

I think it's the perfect week for Bezerker to debut, the stars have aligned for him somewhat.

 

[resurrector]

Hartley in for Hurley and sent to Jenkins. BZT too skinny for he or Tex.
Hooker to Tex, who's not that quick so Cale will keep up with him ok, even if a bit sore.
Not sure if Raz is injured or just struggling to get through some harder marking. Hopefully the latter. He stays in if so.
Hard to find an out for Hep if he's fit. Thought that Guelf and Langford been good the last couple.
As an Adelaide resident geez I hope we give it to em.

 

[citizen-erased]

Surprised so many calling for langfords head.
Not the most prolific game, but his inside 50s were some if our best.

 

[resurrector]

Spot on. Thought his touches were very effective. Need more games into the likes of him n Laverde etc. They're our big bodied goal kicking mids of the future n they need a consistent crack at it

Yeah Langford was better this week. Made his disposals count for the most part.

Redman isn't getting omitted.

Missing at least the next 2 I reckon

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

I would rest Hooker against GC we will need him against Adelaide.

 

[eth-dog]

Preview up for those interested.

Yep. Even if we don't rest Hooker, we have a 9-day break between Adelaide and Gold Coast so that'll give us a much needed rest. Throw everything we have at Adelaide.

We're making 5 changes (3 unforced) to a side that has won the last 3 games?

Yeah... nah.

1 change

In: Zerk

 

[rumply]

Wouldn’t be surprised if we do the VFL double with Hartley and Zerk. Hooker looked incredibly sore and we have a short turn around.

reckon this is a given, can only imagine what sort of state Hooker is in right about now.

 

[eth-dog]

If there's a week to give guys opportunity it's this week with no VFL game.

Yeah... nah.

Plus omitting Redman?

lolwut

 

[Darealrath]

Great opportunity for Hartley and Zerk-Thatcher, though obviously a massive challenge to step up without one of Hooker and Hurley there to lead the way.

A win would be huge but getting through without more injuries and percentage intact might not be a bad outcome.
