Changes for Round 6 v Adelaide

We looked more balanced today than we have all season. Should try and go for like for like replacements for Shuey and Jones as best as possible.

Cameron for Jones seems obvious if he’s available. Ainsworth was an emergency this week - possibly not a bad time to give him a crack against a weak Adelaide side?
 
That’s more like it. The test will be to put in that sort of performance against a team that can actually match us in the middle and around the ground. Not sure we’ll get that next week though.

Out: Shuey (hammy), Jones (hammy), Nelson

In: Brander (assuming he’s fit), Cameron (ditto), Jetta

B: Sheppard, Barrass, Hurn
HB: Duggan, McGovern, Jetta
C: Gaff, Kelly, Brander
HF: Waterman, Darling, Sheed
F: Ryan, Kennedy, Cameron
R: Naitanui, Yeo, Redden
I: Cole, Allen, Cripps, Ah Chee
E: Williams, Schofield, Nelson, XON

Brandee back onto the wing, Redden into the middle to replace Shuey

Cameron a straight swap for Jones. A shame because he was really coming along, but Cameron can bring the same forward pressure.

Nelson unlucky but if Jetta was out for matchup purposes he should come back in, and Nelson did less than Cole or Duggan so he’s the one to make way.

Not sure the tall forward line will work in all games but it sure worked today. Crows game is in a similar timeslot and Reilly O’Brien, while better than the Swans’ makeshift rucks, isn’t particularly physically dominant so the NicNat/Allen combo should be fine.

Not sure Cameron will be ready but if he is that's a no-brainer for Jones.

Ainsworth for Shuey. We have no one else :(

Definitely agree with the like-for-likes. I don't want (god forbid) a tall coming in for Jones for example. Not sure who else could come in. Petch? I like Petch but jeez he's been poor.

ok so its a 3pm game at the Gabba...

Gives us about the first half and a bit to get as big of a lead as we can before the ball starts getting dewy and un-eagle friendly.

once those light towers come on we're in trouble... no matter who we play...
someone pull up that Gabba night game stat.

Out: Shuey Jones
In: Petch Jetta

Why the early games next Saturday? Freo on at 12.30 instead of 1.45 and WC at 3 instead of 4.30. Is it so they can make a flight back to Perth next Saturday early evening?

Believe that’s the case, both teams back on the same flight I believe? Freo get the early game at Metricon, then bus back to Brisbane & WC head straight to the airport from the ground. On a plane out of Brissy by 9-9:30pm, back in Perth by midnight
