Preview Changes & Preview Thread for Round 18, 2025 vs West Coast Eagles 13/07/25 @ Adelaide Oval

[Bump Bailey]

He's probably going to be the non-playing emergency who will be held back from the SANFL game in case of last minute injury in the AFL line-up.

Even worse lol. A list-clogging spud who isn’t playing at either level. We’re basically paying the guy $400K to work at SEN SA.

It's infuriating really and just plain list mismanagement.

 

[Scholz Supremacy]

Lorenz finally

InB4 sub

 

[raptalia]

Same old, same old...

Soldo, Atkins, Lord among the ins. These guys will be lucky to be on our list in 2026.

 

[HHHAMMERtime]

Two ways to look at it with Lord. Can look at it how you did.

Or that he kicked 5 last week, and if he plays this week, is up against younger less experienced defenders - and LIKELY to have decent supply. If he can bag a few goals, he may build up some confidence and form to grow into for the rest of the season.

Should have played Whitlock. Lord is not the answer and I think by end 2026 Whitlock will have surpassed him.!

 

[HHHAMMERtime]

Think no Evans spells the end of Bergman midfield for the year unfortunately.

 

[PJ Power]

Lorenz finally

InB4 sub

I like it. Overdue but no complaints from me. Means that Bergman or Burgoyne will shift to HB.

Would like the latter, then have Lorenz and Jackson play the wings.

Liddy as sub.

 

[PJ Power]

It’s not unreasonable to give Lord another go.

He’s just come off his biggest SANFL haul ever.

We need someone other than Wines to play second ruck.

Will be first time we see him with Lukosius and Georgiades.

He’s a confidence player. We don’t lose anything by seeing if we can build his confidence over the next 7 weeks. Whitlock simply isn’t ready.

 

[Lefti93]

Heeeeeey Lorenzzzz. Will be sub then be dropped again most likely the following game. Funny, that was probably one of his quietest games this season.

 

[GoPorts]

Nice to see we didn't go back to the old favorites like Burton, Fin, McEntee etc.
Hope Lorenz shows something and doesn't sit as sub for 3 1/2 qtrs in a dead rubber
Not sure Lord is going to make it but at least his inclusion helps keep structure and if he goes alright it potentially increases his trade value from a small to large bag of chips at the end of the year

 

[SureBuddy]

Think no Evans spells the end of Bergman midfield for the year unfortunately.

Nah, WC don't have a tall forward line at all. Aliir, BZT and Jones is more than sufficient. Bergs can lineup on Harley Reid from the centre bounce surely.

 

[Sewer de Lance]

What’s up with Evans? He burst on the scene playing some outstanding footy last year & now can barely get a look in.

 

[Adz2332]

still think bergs will play in the middle.
aliir and BZT will be enough

 

[TazD]

Lord back?

 

[Scodges]

Think no Evans spells the end of Bergman midfield for the year unfortunately.

The ol wait til he signs, then shove him back in defence. That’ll learn him

 

[Schulzenfest]

Hopefully Boak is sub. The last player on our list who needs the benefit of an easy kill against West Coast. Probably shouldn't have played him this week at all tbh.

 

[stewie griffen]

Don't mind the team, long as Jackson and Lorenz actually play

 

[Willsy10]

He was in our top 3 or 4 last weekend.

 

[Doctor Feel]

Lorenz will play 5 minutes and be dropped

 

[Schulzenfest]

He was in our top 3 or 4 last weekend.

I don't care. He's 37. This year is cooked. This week is an easy kill. Rest Boak, let a kid get some confidence playing against West Coast, bring Boak back next week against the Hawks.

 

[RossFC]

Make Jones sub so he only fumbles for 1 quarter instead of 4.

He'll do a string by end of Q1 so dont stress.

We’ve given heaps of young players games this year

That doesnt really make it any less ok to play Travis Croak

 

[Peninsula Boy]

I think the changes are not bad.

Lord in to play the third banana which what he should be playing.
The Leg Sleeve to see what he can do.
Lorenz is a big in and hopefully he does some good things like Hugh Jackson of recent times.

I would have preferred Logan Evans instead of Liddy but I'll live with it and see what Liddy has to offer.
