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

[Bump Bailey]

Just popped in here to say Atkins lol.

Whether he plays or not.

He was putrid at SANFL level last week, this club is forked. Shouldn’t be anywhere near even an extended squad.

 

[True__Believer]

IN: I Soldo 13, L Evans 22, O Lord 30, R Atkins 32, W Lorenz 36, M Liddy 50
OUT: S Powell-Pepper 2, E Ratugolea 27, D Visentini 38 (injured)

So Evans for Sav, Soldo for Dante and Mani for SPP?

 

[PJ Power]

So Evans for Sav, Soldo for Dante and Mani for SPP?

I expect Lord for Dante, Mani for SPP and Evans for Sav.

Evans presumably sub though.

 

[PortAdelFC1997]

I expect Lord, Evans, Liddy/Lorenz to play as sub with Jackson playing a full game.

A shame that it means Bergman will most likely play as a third tall AFTER re-signing and citing playing midfield as one of the reasons.

 

[TazD]

I'm ridin Soldo

 

[True__Believer]

I expect Lord for Dante, Mani for SPP and Evans for Sav.

Evans presumably sub though.

This sounds better

 

[Doctor Feel]

Reckon that spells the end for Finlayson.

 

[RossFC]

I'd still drop Sweet and Jones as well, Bring in Soldo and Lorenz.

Since neither of Ramm or Lai got picked, Bergman has to go down back.

He was one of if not our best in his last AFL game. I wouldn't take much notice of SANFL form, it's a very compromised setup. I'd take more notice of training to be blunt.

 

[Del80659]

they should just go Lorenz Evans Liddy

 

[SureBuddy]

Win out, get 14 wins and make finals, Crows finish 9th. Easy.

 

[crafty_bernardo]

Lorenz listed is a good sign?

 

[Rash]

Lorenz listed is a good sign?

doubt he plays, people like liddy and mcentee get games over him.

feel sorry for him, clearly is best 23

 

[PowerLil]

Atkins lol. Clearly "Kenny" was rummaging through the lolly jar looking for teeth and missed him playing like sh*t.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Atkins lol. Clearly "Kenny" was rummaging through the lolly jar looking for teeth and missed him playing like sh*t.

Missed the McEntee Killer Python though.

 

[Traveling_Power]

Hi folks. One of my opponents in a keeper league claims Zak Butters has suffered hamstring awareness. Is this true?

welcome here

The hamstring awareness is false ... but it is a step up from a few things said about Butters in the tread about him in the Draft, Trading & Free agency section (what a laugh that is)

One Bright spark said Butters had concussion issues and then the same bright spark later mentioned that Butters had acquired Brain injury from a 2022 collision with Tom Jonas (which cut Butters cheek)

Our seasons over and we’re playing the worst side since Fitzroy 95/96 at home. Absolutely no point even selecting him in an extended squad let alone contemplating playing him.

 

[Scodges]

I expect Lord for Dante, Mani for SPP and Evans for Sav.

Evans presumably sub though.

If we want Bergs in the guts, then Evens must play.

 

[jac147]

At least Atkins and Boak have something in common. They are great at picking out opponents with their foot passes and then that mistake costs a goal. Both should be playing for the 2’s for the rest of the season and then being retired.

 

[drcollossimo]

feel sorry for him, clearly is best 23

What’s the supposed knock on his game?

I don’t get it either kid seems to have all the tools we need on a wing where we don’t have depth

 

[Onward To Victory]

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.

no one knows

So taking 400k a year and strolling around in the seconds is acceptable?

So taking 400k a year and strolling around in the seconds is acceptable?

Unfortunately it never was going to be anymore than that.
It was like GC said you must accept him on your list for 12 months as a reminder of how ridiculous your club has become.

 

[EskimoPAFC]

Shouldn't be playing anyone over the age of 25 that isn't an A-grader.
