IN: McKay Perez Thomas Comben
OUT: Walker Lazzaro Ziebell CCJ

B: Hall McKay Scott
HB: McDonald Corr Perez
C: Stephenson Davies-Uniacke Simpkin
HF: Thomas Comben Horne-Francis
F: Curtis Larkey Zurhaar
R: Goldstein Powell Anderson
I: Taylor Young Greenwood Dawson

When Cunners is ready to return he surely comes in for Greenwood.

What will happen though is Mckay and Comben will come in for Walker and Lazzaro. TT will be made to wait another week going by earlier posts and Ziebell will be kept on to save face and Patch won’t do him like that.
Perez should also be playing but will be
sub because he’s still a kid. He had a great game against the Hawks and it wasn’t enough for him to return.

Selection headaches coming up and it’s just typical of North that we can’t get our best 22-25 on the park together until the last ******* week of the year.
Just want some good luck ffs

Unbelievable , but I still reckon we are a chance of avoiding the spoon this year.
West Coke have Freo & The Cats away .
We have the Crows away & a very winnable game vs GC in what will inevitably be a very emotional comeback game for Cunners.

Unfortunately, I expect this week’s game is not going to make for good viewing from a North perspective again. Predominately, we don’t enjoy much success in Adelaide these days and there’s absolutely nothing to suggest it’s going to be different this weekend. I fully expect a massive gulf on the I50 side of the ledger. We’ll be banking on Adelaide inaccuracy to give us even the faintest sniff. I hope I’m wrong but I seriously doubt it. We entered R23 last season in far better shape and suffered a pantsing to the tune of 13.20 to 8.6. Not pretty.

At the game yesterday. Enjoying watching more now that we are playing a bit better.
Positives:
LDU again showing real class.
Jye was busy and hard at it.
Goldy was good again.
P Curtis showing his tricks. He'll be a star, not just AFL level.
Young belongs and had a good battle with the superstar Heeney.
Corr made Franklin accountable.
I love Stephenson in the back. Forget the odd shocker. He can get us through oppo zones. Tough job and them backing him to do it is a sign of trust from Patch.
Larkey, say no more.
Bailey has improved this year. Now belongs, obviously needs to keep building.
CT, same as Bails. Loved his mark where he defended drop with his body.
CCJ, is building too. He's much better than beginning of year.
Zurharr is always dangerous.
Poor Jack is limping to the line. He ain't being dropped. Offers something in the contest plus leadership we outside the club can't quantify.
I like Kallan two games in.
Sydney are jets, they didn't go easy on us. There's a bit to take away.
Cunners in and we can win against Suns.
JHF, is tired at the mo. An emotional year. A rest over summer, new coach and preseason and he builds his role. Same with Powell, hopefully Laz and Phillips and a few others ... Chom, Ford, Goater and Bergs.
Time to say the age old - it's never as good or bad as you think. Just ask Carlton.

I don’t think we’ve won in Adelaide since 2006

Laz stays in as medi-sub only. Deserves more time and still think there is something to work with. Now is the time if ever to see what he can do.
 
The Kangaroos are confident McKay will be fit to play the Crows this weekend, but he must get through main training on Wednesday. Archer should return at some level. Expect veteran Ben Cunnington to again play VFL, having pulled up sore on his comeback at reserves level last weekend. – Riley Beveridge
