Preview Changes: R7 vs GWS - Saturday April 30 1.40pm ACST @ Adelaide Oval

[AFC979810]

The only change I think we see this week is Lachie Murphy won't be listed as our CHF on the teamsheet

I think we give him one more week at CHF. He is due to for a bunch of contested marks and a bag of goals.

Then we move him to 2nd Ruck/Tall Forward Pocket?

It's farcical how we (and other clubs) take the p*ss out of selection and put players in positions they have no hope of playing.

What's the point? Do they think they are fooling the opposition, or having a giggle "inside the four walls"?

Each club should just name a squad of 22 and cut the silly games.

Many other clubs do it too, I’m pretty sure Hardwick did the same all through the Tigers’ dynasty

I’m not sure why coaches do it, but it’s funny nonetheless. Just as long as they don’t actually play said roles on gameday lol

Wingers need to know which side of the ground they are on, ok, but do modern day players even think that they are playing a "position"? I reckon they know which group they are in, but don't have positions at all

I think they're very structured in terms of their position it's just that the traditional positions have no bearing on what they do now

I wonder if the team line up format will ever be altered?

Half forwards and backs basically play as midfielders these days after the centre bounce has happened

s**t the last 2 weeks have been pretty stress free for you

 

[Scorpus]

Thilthorpe got Covid.

Hinge, Fogarty, Schoenberg, Pedlar the emergencies

Probably Peds or Hinge Medi sub I guess.

Hinge. Pedlar you’d want to give a full game to to try and build momentum from last week

Probably good timing for him. Gives that knee a rest.

I remember wondering why the Crows did it back in 91.

I reckon they would barely know why anyone would care about Murphy being named at CHF.

 

[Carmo]

Unlike the last few weeks where we've had a massive advantage in the ruck I worry that the Preuss and Flynn combo will tip the balance back the other way, that then cascades to making it harder for our mids and that maybe a major issue for us. I think they had something like 70 hitouts to 18 from Saints Marshall.

Hopefully our all over the field improvement is enough to make up for it.

First game live this year, Saturday.
Sons first ever game Sunday!
What a weekend.

Cheers, manged to score some MTX club seats so hopefully should be a good spot.

Interesting...On debut for GWS Cooper Hamilton one of Josh Rachele's best mates and Caulfield Grammar/Vic Country/AFL Academy teammate is every chance to get to play on each other with Cooper being a medium defender with elite endurance. Both country lads Bendigo Pioneers/Murray Bushrangers that boarded together at Caulfield Grammar.

Didn't Hogan towel us up last time?

Yep and they've named a strong side. We are going to have to be on.
