Preview Changes v Adelaide - Round 22, 2021

[LeverPuller]

OUT: Hunt (ankle), Sparrow (did nothing)
IN: TMac, Lockhart

 

[netslave]

I hope we give the Crows a floggin to the noggin this time around.
IN: Tmac, Hibberd
OUT: Hunt, AVB/Sparrow

 

[Tulip]

Out: Hunt, AVB
In: McDonald, Hibberd

 

[Fitzey]

Interestingly it looked like Gus was being used at HB towards the end of the game. Could potentially be something we run with for another week if they decide to keep Sparrow/AVB in the side. Gus has been good out on the wing though for a majority of the year.

Same as above
Out: Hunt, VB/Sparrow
In: Tmac, Lockhart if he’s good to go?

 

[Blackas87]

Out: Hunt, VandenBerg, Sparrow

In: Hibberd, McDonald, Jones

 

[hoddo]

Out: Hunt, VandenBerg, Sparrow

In: Hibberd, McDonald, Jones

Agree with this.
Hibberd the obvious replacement for Hunt and Jones should be given a chance to push his claims for a finals spot. His form when he last played was certainly better than anything we've seen from AVB or Sparrow recently.

 

[LeverPuller]

AVB was the medical sub so I don’t count him

Rumour is we have to make a 9.5hr round trip to Newcastle to sit the NSW Police Entrance Exam the day before ... because simply just rocking up to the G on game day is a little too easy given recent weeks.

 

[dylan93]

OUT: Hunt (injured), AVB (please retire)
IN: Lockhart/Hibberd, T. McDonald

Declase in the mix if we need any other changes.

And apparently on the way back we will need to compress 28 days quarantine into a ten hour period through use of a Time Turner

 

[Jibroni]

Im tempted to give Salem (looks injured) and Maxy a rest.

We have no idea where finals will be played and its the perfect opportunity to give a couple of guys a week off before the Geelong game.

Nah. Going to get a week off after the Geelong game anyway

[Dee Train]

How good was Bowey’s pick up turn and release late in the game btw??!!!

 

[KickLongTackleHard]

If players are carrying a niggle or TMac isn’t 110% then perfect time to list manage here. Only a few, nothing drastic.

 

[demondavey]

I probably wouldn’t change anything unless there is an immediate better option. There seems to be a lot of anti Sparrow commentary, and the week to week discussions always revolve around dropping a fringe player and promoting someone. The side is winning. I’d only change the team if there is an injury or an upgrade could be achieved. Obvious for me is if TMac is fit he comes in for AVB and if Hunt is injured he goes out for Hibberd.

Agreed. We don't rest players when we have two games until a bye week and we're trying to secure the minor premiership.

I almost convinced myself last night we should play Daw this week and give Max a week off, and then I realised I was speaking nonsense.

As much as I am a Lockhart fan, I think that Hibberd/Jones/TMac/Viney are really the only ones outside the team who I see forcing their way in from here.

 

[Fork n Hell]

Hibberd in for Hunt, and Tmac comes back in for Jordon. Jordon to be the sub, pushing AVB back out of the 23.

 

[ImissFrosty]

Out: Hunt, Sparrow
In: Hibberd, Tmac

out for Adelaide. Could be a good opportunity to rest Gawn.

 

[Topkent]

Reilly O'Brien out for Adelaide. Could be a good opportunity to rest Gawn.

He literally gets a week off in 2 weeks and if we win a qualifying final he gets another week off. Terrible idea.

that is because Sparrow has been pretty ****ing poor

 

[schmuttt]

Stupid talk resting players now. As TK says they’ll get at least one week off before finals. We traditionally play good football with packed schedules anyway.
