Preview Changes: R18 vs GWS, Saturday July 15th, 7.10pm ACST @ Adelaide Oval

[Dangarman]

Ferrari's dont like to be driven in July winters especially a cold wet windy one in Adelaide.

"Thank you for your invitation to play a winter sport on a hot summer's day at your oval. We respectfully decline.
However, we cordially invite you to play a return game at our oval on a cold winter night"

(Just had a thought. The AFLPA should push for no day games to be scheduled in Bris, Syd or Perth for rounds 1 and 2 in the interests of player welfare. To put it in perspective, the only game West Coast have won this season was against GWS after that sauna game.)

 

[Coopers]

Do we have any hope that potentially the midfield mix might be more heavily Pedlar, Rachele, Dawson rather than Keays, Sloane and Dawson ?

I mean that would make me happy

Are we gonna start Sloane in the square?!

Don't we have to?

 

[SydCrow]

Now that the Green is out, do we tag Kelly?

Team Selection Update: Round 18

An update to Adelaide's Round 18 team

www.afc.com.au

Berry out of emergencies (sickness) for Schoenberg.

Himmelberg is there purely for tall backup... based on the presser I think we will definitely take this chance to rest Soligo. Schoenberg unlikely to bunny hop McHenry as the sub - ALTHOUGH, we did announce this change. Interesting one. Wonder if it's a Lachie Murphy "sore neck" type response to Tom Green

being out. Schoenberg to test his mettle in the middle against less glimmering stars.

Perusing the ladder, if results go our way this weekend (as the betting odds suggest), we can jump to 6th on the ladder and just a game + around 8% to make up to land Top 4 which the Dees occupy.

Ironically we play the Dees the following week and if the Lions roll the Cats as well, it makes our job easier to land Top 4.

Incredible year.

Nicks is wedded to his best 23-24. He is incapable of moving away from it. A pretty piss poor effort from him that he has no trust whatsoever in any player outside of that group.

... and absolute blind trust in Sholl, Murphy and McHenry.

I expect the GWS game to be HOT, which will see Sholl squib out under pressure. It's his way.
Murphy will look like he's doing something, when not --- it's a rare talent.
And McHenry will huff and puff without blowing any GWS doors open, then run out of puff as per last week.

 

[CrowBloke]

Blue spot yes, but big the moves you murky they actually did.

Can someone please translate this into English?

“Lost their game”: The worrying area where Adelaide is worse than West Coast

“If the Crows lose this one, they miss the finals.”

www.sen.com.au

However, it’s their ball movement that has King worried as they fight for a spot inside the top eight.

“The Crows have lost their game. They’re the worst team in the competition, and that includes West Coast, at being able to move the ball in the last six weeks,” King told SEN’s The Picks.

“They’ve lost all ball movement, all offence, all confidence – they’ve had to win in different ways. They’ve had to win at forward half clearance, not necessarily moving the ball.

“The D50 has fallen apart. That’s a real worry coming into a game like this with Toby Greene

So 6 weeks of results that see us be even worse than WC and he still can't muster up any changes.

No Fritsch, No Oliver and Grundy out, this will be our best chance to roll them in Victoria.

But we’ll have Murphy

 

[pjcrows]

Seven days ago David King said we were the 4th best team in the competition and had us pencilled in for a Prelim. And 20 games ago he said Nicks will be sacked.

The bloke is all over the place.

and McHenry.

Which makes McMurphy.

I've said before King just follows the breeze, I'm not concerned if he does/doesn't rates us, I'm concerned there's a clear trend (we know how much Nicks hates that word) developing and Nicks only answer is to keep trying the same and hope it starts working again.

So King thinks we're the worst team in the Comp over the last 6 weeks for ball movement, then tips us to win??

 

[Danger in Texas]

Just saw Green out, their midfield’s still better but from a pure matchup perspective that’s a huge help

6 weeks ago we beat the lions at Adelaide Oval and west coast have won one game all season.

This is just absolute drivel.

It'd be stats he got from Champion Data, that's what he bases 95% of his opinions on.

Emerson Booth tweeting that there has been a Covid outbreak at the Crows...

It wouldn't surprise me. I have had Covid since last Friday(starting to finally feel better today) and was wondering if it was widespread in the community. I suspected our performance against Essendon might have had some sickness involved as there was a lack of energy. They are superfit athletes that get over Covid in 48 hours if in fact there is covid at the club. Just another variable in qualifying for finals I guess.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Our ball movement has stopped.

When pressured we go back to bombing and instantly lose
