Preview Changes: R3 vs Gold Coast

[BACCS]

 

[hey shorty]

The real test for Nicks is whether we make any unforced changes now.

We simply have to make an unforced change, but with the Milera injury, there is an out for us to revert back to form

I can understand why we'd go in unchanged and he gives them all a rocket.

If we lose this week then go nuclear.

SA's AFL clubs could avoid Queensland hub

AFL clubs Port Adelaide and Adelaide Crows may avoid spending three weeks in a Queensland hub after SA's government changed travel protocols.

SA's AFL clubs could avoid Queensland hub

We should say they can only return home if we win.

 

[Golumless]

I'm not a fan of that. We're a young side, spending time interstate for a while could be a good bonding experience.

Was having a read of GC match thread and came across this

I am surprised
Thought I read recently he was still battling hammy issues

No bloody way, 3 weeks in sunny Queensland out of the glare of the SA media compared with Adelaide this time of year?

Catch 22.

Everyone loves being home and sleeping in the comfort of their own home, but I also think it would be a great thing for the kids.

He's about 3 to 4 weeks from playing AFL

The last Gold Coast trip worked wonders.

We won.....

Hamill better be playing.

I think I'm more focused on the young'ins. Our leaders are pretty cooked.

Hamill better be playing.

It'll either be him or McAdam (or both). I'm guessing Poholke is just taking up an emergency spot.

 

[Vader]

Well, he was the best of our outside brigade last week...

An incredibly disappointing game, but lets not pretend Smith and Seedsman (seeing Milera is inj. now) haven't had as putrid of a start to the season.

He wasn't the "best of" anything. "Least worst" maybe...

Hamill is one we need to give 10 games.

 

[Bearded Clam]

I'm a hard no on Hartigan though would like Butts to get games.

Sholl would be my preferred replacement.

Yeah, im surprised Hartigans name is even being mentioned..

 

[Golumless]

Best and least worst are the same in this context.

 

[Danger in Texas]

B: Brown, Talia, Doedee
HB: Seedsman, McAsey, Laird
C: Lynch, Jones, Atkins
HF: Keays, Fogarty, Crocker
F: McHenry, Walker, Murphy
R: O'Brien, Mrouch, Jones
I/C: Smith, Hamill, McAdam/Himmelberg, Brouch

Hoping for this squad

 

[Vader]

Not at all. Best implies some positive aspect. Least worst simply means that all other alternatives were worse. There was no positive aspect to Atkins' performance against Port.

OK
In - Poholke, Hamill, McAdam, Himmelberg
Out - Milera, Smith, Kelly, Sloane all inj

So they resisted bringing Gibbs or DMac into the squad in the positions Nicks said they were fighting for.

Big tick for Matthew.

And naturally, there is a positive aspect. He was better than Seedmsan, Smith and Milera.

If your goal is to survive in a best 22, being better than your opposition is surprisingly vital.

So they resisted bringing Gibbs or DMac into the squad in the positions Nicks said they were fighting for.

Big tick for Matthew.

Huge tick seeing if this injury was random, the laziest solution was to bring those two back.

No Dmac?

He wasn't "better", he just wasn't as spectacularly awful. Stating that he was "the best" implies a positive aspect to his game, where there was none. It's just that the others were all worse than him.

Atkins gets a 0, the others are all -2, -3 or worse. Atkins wasn't positive, so using a phrase which implies positivity is morally wrong.

Rubbish. Best is simply a relative term, only implying that his positive connotations exceeded those of his competitors.
Next thing, you'll be saying that a 70 kg player who is the heaviest in his team is really not because he's actually quite light.
