And it doesn't look like the Suns are the pushover they were last year. Guys like Atkins usually lick their lips at the thought of filling their boots in an easy win.

I'm fine with the changes (or lack of)
Hamill I have been really impressed with the glimpses I have seen of him at SANFL level. He still has to work on getting more of the ball but every time I see him with the ball it usually ends up laces out to the chest of a teammate.
Ultimately I am fine if we keep serving up insipid performances as it gets us closer to pick 1 or 2 at the end of the year.

Oh they’ll respond alright
They’re like 5 year old kids that know exactly what they can get away with

I'm still not sold on one change only.
Surely they won't risk Sloane. Listening to Clark on AA he wasn't convincing. Id be staggered if he wasn't pulled out tomorrow. Same with Kelly. Hasn't finished all his concussion protocol testing so if he gets a gig I'll be surprised.

You've got more faith in them than I have.
The thing is, Nicks is in the process of ending AFC careers. If they don't respond on Sunday, like they always do.... Then he will know
100% agree on this.
You get an opportunity to respond and if you don't then the players seal their own fate.
In the pre-Covid world supporters should be angry with the lack of changes, however, 2020 is not normal and the break between round 1 and 2 was significant. I liked that Nicks put it out there to the senior guys this is the test this week if you don't respond your spot is not guaranteed. Next games selection is the real telling material if we lose, which surely we will, if that result is ignored Nicks has lost me.
Welcome Will Hamill hope you kill it!

I don't really mind. Would prefer McAdam was playing because we need more forward talent to look at. Hopefully Sloane or Kelly is a late out for him.
Otherwise there's not that many on the list I actually think will make it who isn't playing.
And the ones that I do are too raw (Schoenberg, Worrell, Oconnor).

Poholke coming into the squad tells me there's still a hurdle or 2 for Sloane to clear.

Tough to be fair with team changes because on performance it would be O'Brien, Talia, McHenry and 19 ins

When was the last time the Suns went in as favourites in any game?

How on earth did we not drop anyone from a drubbing?
I actually think of all players, Atkins is the barometer for this GC match.
His output usually correlates to the amount of pressure on the Crows as a collective.
This was his best game last year, and he cut loose with 35 possessions.
Brad Crouch laid 16 tackles!
Going to be a lot tougher this time around. But it would be a very Crows thing to do to win this one, sweep some of their problems under the rug, then go on to lose the next few.
I’m ok with them getting one week for a reprieve, and even if we win, if some of those senior players don’t improve they’re gone next week. This is what Nicks was talking about earlier in the week, so I hope he follows through.
Kelly and Nicks don’t have any ties to past personnel that influenced the continued selections of players like Mackay, I’m willing to trust him for now.
What makes you think Nicks or Kelly care about past selection policies? I would think it’s pretty clear he’s backing in a very young side this year and is bringing in guys like Hamill instead of Gibbs/Mackay. I’ve got no doubt we will see McPherson, McAdam and a few others within the next few weeks, especially as I’m confident Atkins won’t improve.

Hopefully he’s explained to all senior players it’s your one and only reprieve, you’ve all used up your life line

If we roll with Crouch x2 plus Sloane for the first centre bounce I'll go postal.
