Preview Changes: R22 v Collingwood

[Thetrader15]

I would have played Keath or Butts if underdone.

I can't see how Keath isn't in the team if he's playing SANFL

 

[Southerntakeover]

My point about O'Brien was that his kicking has improved a lot. He's worked on it and I'm surprised people can't see that but feel obliged to hark back to his early days when he was a horrendous kick.
I'd be happy to see him lining up a set shot or two against the Woods.

He's kicked one set shot all year.

You're carrying on like there's some body of evidence that demonstrates he's a reliable set shot. There is not.

His miss v Geelong earlier in the year was as bad as you'll ever see.

 

[Thetrader15]

He's gone, we've already got a deal in the works to trade him and he's sitting out so he doesn't accidentally make his ankle any worse. New team wants him firing to start their next pre-season.

At 28, I'm not too fussed about him being traded for decent value.

He's not part of our next flag team

Tex, ROB, Sauce.

It's ok - we have the express pace of Douglas, rather than any sloths like Jones or Gallucci.

 

[mcattack]

A Jacobs and O'Brien combination should have been tried earlier. IMHO it's worth experimenting with O'Brien playing a portion of the game in a sort of "Tall Lynch" role, which would necessitate a better backup ruckman than the standard Adelaide tactic, which is where Jacobs comes in.

Idk just makes us slower. Should just play JJ then trade him season end ... Bit of jk really.

 

[Miss Vanessa]

His brain farts are funny as s**t though.

Pyke certainly thinks so. Was having a good old laugh after his howlers against the Saints... oh the hilarity. Gave away a goal after the siren when it could be the difference between finals or not.

So we're stuck with Hartigan for another five years and reliant upon Doedee making a successful return from a knee injury? FMD.

I'm not convinced that anyone born yet is part of our next flag team.

 

[Coopers]

Hopefully we move on Kelly as well

A refreshed backline of Talia, Butts, Doedee, Brown and others excites me. Roll it out round 1, 2020.

Trade in some cheap depth and boom, good times especially if we get a good return for Keath

Don't get too carried away, we can still shuffle Hart back there to coach the group.

Source or gut feeling?

Things will get worse before they get better.

Perhaps Pyke has been paid off by the Indian bookies...

 

[Mutineer]

We have once again selected an unbalanced line up.

If the Pies had plenty of talls, including their American giant playing, then I could sort of understand playing 2 ruckmen as ROB could play as a defender/ruckman.

... but the Pies are playing a smaller forward line... so we will need to push our extra tall forward rather than back.

2 problems with this. Neither of our ruckmen are decent forwards (would be better off with EH or JJ). Also, can you imagine our forward pressure with Sauce/ROB, Tex, Lynch & Fog? Is old man Dougy going to pick up the slack? The ball is just going to waltz out by the Pies! We are playing 1 tall too many.

Footywire have both teams average height as bang on 187.0cm....

Your idea of humour is...

Strange at best

We have more talls & very shorts, whilst they have more mid size.

Can't wait to see our forward pressure with a forward line of:
F: Jacobs, Walker, Betts
HF: Douglas, Fogarty, Lynch

Going to be a massive tackle count...

 

[Miss Vanessa]

I can't see how Keath isn't in the team if he's playing SANFL

Oh my god. How anyone can possibly think that Hartigan is a better bet than just about any one else on the list is beyond me.

 

[MRB37]

That's just my gut feeling. Greenwood won't be in the AFL side again either.

Well if the Saints hadn’t got that goal in the last minute from the Hartigan turnover we would still be in the 8.

Blightly was loving the double rucks on Sportsday SA this afternoon when interviewing Michael Godden

He's also the one who threw up the trade Mat and Brad idea.

I think Blighty is trying to outsmart himself

If we beat Collingwood he will claim it.

 

[Crowstar]

I'm not offended by the changes.

Our next generation of midfielders, would like to say hello.
