Preview Changes & Pre-match Discussion - Round 12 vs. Adelaide, AO Sat 05/06 @ 4:35pm

[Scratchy05]

Okay so Grundy's injury stings a lot. Apparently Pendlebury is injured so that is 2 outs. Might as well rest both. I want to rest injured players like McCreery, Adams, Elliott and COx as we aren't winning so don't want to risk re-injury but ill wait until the injury list comes out before I make a comment on my changes.

Travellers arriving from Victoria from 7:45 pm 28 May 2021 are not permitted to enter South Australia.

Word is Gil is good mates with the SA Premier Eugene Levy so should be able to get an exemption.

 

[magpies42]

Elliott McCreery Henry Ruscoe Thomas Sidebottom T Brown or Stengle

Ruscoe is a soft sniper, Henry not ready...

We could be under the work exemption which would allow us in

Tell that to NT where they wouldn't allow the Hawks/suns game to go ahead

Pendlebury has been playing injured, hence why he has been non existent in the midfield most of the season. He will play again this week.

 

[gouki88]

Who would you play ahead of him?

Given Elliott and McCreery are fit to play again, those two.

I would also prioritise the development of Chugg, Henry, Ginnivan and Rantall ahead of Brown. Those four ahead of him at selection if they're not looking lost at reserve level.

Elliot and McReery fit I agree, but that hasn’t been confirmed as yet. I would be cautious with Elliot and McReerys injury was 1-2 weeks, again prioritise a youngsters health over a lost season.

The others you mention are not ready, Rantall and Henry have shown little at AFL level. Chugg and ginivan have not been standouts at VFL level. Bringing any kid in when the team is such a shambles is not good for development.

 

[pablo disco bar]

Play tohill and Keane

I'd rather rest him them

 

[Chrispiesssss]

He said BRB. He’s not playing next week.

 

[Billys Back]

I doubt there’s been an easier ‘out’ than Madgen this week.

 

[Aussie pie]

I doubt there’s been an easier ‘out’ than Madgen this week.

Don’t be so sure Bucks might try him as a undersized second ruck while Grundy is out, nothing would shock me except Madge and C Brown actually being dropped. That would shock me.

 

[grayza2018]

Interesting selection coming up, good timing for Stengle if we snag him in the MSD! I'll assume not at this stage though

Grundy wouldn't play I'd imagine, and Thomas and McCreery probably not ready. Cal Brown might survive in that case, but personally I'd bring Macrae into the 22 for him

Give Kelly another go, and Keane too. Would love to fit Rantall in too but not sure they'd pick him. And unsure where Tyler Brown is at

In. Kelly, Keane
Out. Grundy (inj), C.Brown, Madgen

B. Quaynor Roughead Mayne
HB. Noble Moore Maynard
C. Hoskin-Elliott Daicos Poulter
HF. Sidebottom Mihocek Pendlebury
F. Bianco Kelly Macrae
R. Cameron Crisp de Goey
I. Wilson Keane Sier Murphy
E. C.Brown (sub) Madgen Rantall Lynch (fit?)

Brown isn't ready either. I don't think any of those would be worse than Cal Brown, who is reliably in our worst 2 players every single game. There's nothing gained from playing him. Not developing and not playing well.

but c brown is played for his “pressure”…

C brown: 0.0, 0 tackles inside 50.

It’s just ridiculous at this point.

Exactly! Doesn't hit the scoreboard, barely applies any pressure, and couldn't win a 1v1 contest if his life depended on it

Oh my god. Just when I thought he had given Madge every opportunity in all positions on the ground. The horrors if second ruck is an option...

 

[Scritchyscroony]

WTF? Mike has had his account hacked as well. Mods can you please check the IP address of the dude that posted this?

Spat my coffee out when I read Mike praising Mayne. Yeah something's fishy. Mike praising Mayne .. account hack is more likely.

 

[Kappa]

Shame Lynch been injured as well as Cox


Good chance to play them otherwise

cox should be fit by next week, play him and Cameron rotating between Ruck and forward

 

[jackcass]

I'm certainly not defending his game but he was credited with an equal team high pressure acts with 19 along with Crisp. Also =5th for tackles for the team. And the entire team only managed 9 F50 tackles for the game so he wasn't exactly on his own in that regard. There's enough to be critical about his game without the hyperbole.

 

[jackcass]

Well apart from the 2 terrific contested marks he took.

 

[Big Bryza]

You'd drop Mayne who led our disposals for the game today?

Mayne would lead the comp for the least impactful disposals.

Oppo clubs would absolutely love the pill in Maynes hands.

 

[gouki88]

Doesn't fit my agenda

 

[Big Bryza]

We had a team of scribbers back then, honest triers but they lacked any quality or potential. We have a team that's struggling now, but there is absolutely potential there in my opinion. You can just see that we'll rocket up the ladder next year once we get a smidge of off field direction.

I'm assuming you're taking the pi55.

Our list is in very ordinary shape right now.

Our only option is to smash the next 3-4 drafts and rebuild.
