Preview Changes: R5 2021 vs Fremantle

[jackster83]

It'll be Worrell or Murray

Actually we'll just pick an injured Kelly and Smith. Won't matter if they can't run.

 

[xazos79]

Doesn't look like Frampton will be an out this week going by Nicks' comments....

 

[Vader]

We are playing the youngest side in the league

Not last week, we didn't. North were 4 months younger than us, on average, on Sunday. Essendon, GWS & Gold Coast had the same average age as us. Adelaide, were, however, the least experienced team.

Nice to actually get decent content out of a Coach press conference again with Nicks. A Don Pyke pressers was just a pointless exercise in his tenure especially in contrast to the Walsh pressers which were always captivating viewing. Good to see Nicks acknowledge the difference in Chayce Jones

pre draft to post draft and that they're trying to get him back to that style of play.

 

[pjcrows]

So Kelly will be an out. If you need a scan on a calf after training it'll be a couple of weeks minimum.

It's Worrell time.

 

[Betts are off]

Yeah, calf injuries are no joke. Get them wrong and the player can end up being out for the season.

 

[Betts are off]

From that Lynch looks like a lock, and Frampton seems to be under a microscope but still very much in the mix to play.

Liked what he said about Chayce, shows that the club actually has a message for him to get back into the side.

 

[skam85]

I noticed Nick's incessantly mentions "young group". Watch his pressers after a match and count the amount of times he uses it. Are we really as young a group in correlation to the amount of times he uses it? I also wonder for how many years he will hang onto using the term "young group?" He needs to stop using the term at it's becoming somewhat of a crutch. I also think he uses it as justification for not playing more kids.

Maybe him and Lachy Sholl can sit in on the same media training.

 

[Scorpus]

So we could be playing as many 5 underdone players. Walker, Kelly, Lynch, Smith and McAdam

 

[CrowBloke]

1) ROB's centre ruck taps are not his strength at all but at least he competes. His strength is his tank and contested marking around the ground. 2) The problem with Gold Coast is that have no one to even compete at centre bounce.

1) This.
2) They did, until Witts did that ACL. I thought the game turned after Witts went off.

 

[CrowBloke]

Walker? Underdone?
Walker's red-hot right now, hardly underdone.

Walker is underdone?

 

[croweater 41]

[pjcrows]

Pfft. If he's hurt he won't play, if he is match fit he will play. Knocks happen every week.

Presser April 15" on YouTube


Nick's looks concerned. He shouldn't play poker.
Sounds like Kelly out.
Worrell not this week. Hopefully we see Worrell debut before the end of the year but doesn't seem in favour.
Most likely Murray in for Kelly
Smith and McAdam should play.
Walker should play.
Lynch's experience should heal his toe

Freo on the line seems a good bet to me.

Lynch is just garbage, not underdone.

 

[CrowBloke]

Ah, ok, thanks. I did not know that.
Hope he's ok!

 

[hey shorty]

Actually we'll just pick an injured Kelly and Smith. Won't matter if they can't run.

I don't think so, if you're having a scan after a main training session I'd doubt you'll play.

was good you might consider playing him off an interrupted week.

But he's not. So it's the perfect opportunity to debut someone

 

[Betts are off]

So we could be playing as many 5 underdone players. Walker, Kelly, Lynch, Smith and McAdam

I think the correct way to say that is 'We are managing as many as 5 players during the main session'

 

[Vader]

If Jake Kelly was good you might consider playing him off an interrupted week.

But he's not. So it's the perfect opportunity to debut someone

If Kelly is out, then Worrell or Murray come in. Murray's played a grand total of 1 game (plus 1 as non-activated sub). Either way, Kelly won't be replaced by an experienced player this time around.

 

[BRL121]

That’s probably spot on
I recall a time though Tex said he would want the Crouch boys delivering to him

Not to forget he also nominated Milera a while ago.

 

[Mego Red]

I think you might be in for a shock if wants out and he picks north..there will be no such remuneration offered for McAsey when they can walk him to the PSD for free

They won't do that. They'll just do what we did and offer unders.

 

[Mego Red]

Lynch is just garbage, not underdone.

Mr Connector is BACK, young Swans circle, but where are the Cats?

Who are the vital links between your side's midfield and attack? Riley Beveridge looks at the numbers

www.afl.com.au

They literally ran an article a week ago that said Lynch was currently the best in the league for his position and role.

 

[Mego Red]

I think the correct way to say that is 'We are managing as many as 5 players during the main session'

Just like every team in the league. It's a contact sport.
