Changes v Adelaide

[port_adelaide_1870]

In: Bonner, Schulz, Snelling
Out: Wingard, Dixon, Lobbe

17 disposals, 17 tackles, 6 clearances this week
21 disposals, 1 goal, 7 tackles, 3 clearances last week
23 disposals, 1 goal, 10 tackles, 4 inside 50s the week before

He may be not absolutely ready but **** me give the kid a chance... Tries his heart out and we could use some of that right about now

Lobbe is normally our worst player in every showdown. Absolute liability. Can we please just not play him, for the love of God.

 

[PAFC66]

The board has beyond melted. Its straight liquid at the moment.

will schulz get a home ground goodbye game this week?

Let's hope Schulz goodbye game is better then the Chad Cornes one

 

[Waspy79]

DBJ.....YOU ARE KIDDING!!!!!

I'd like to see Bonner play for a few weeks. Who else in the back half would you rest/omit? O'Shea would be a definite for me.

I hadn't thought of this. With Dixon out and Butcher in Kern-imposed exile I'd say there's a pretty good chance.

Lobbe is great for Supercoach though, you can put the C on his opponent with confidence.

 

[Hartletts Heroes]

We could make as many changes as people want but until the players mindset changes the result will be the same..
we will be competitive for maybe a quarter or so then the effort in performing the basics of the game will drop away and we will get beaten.

I melt every week so it's business as usual for me. I guess being a realist all year and being smashed for it till now is quite refreshing. Id rather have egg on my face believe me.

Out: Wingard, In: Bonner - Krak to Wingard's role at half forward. Give him 2 games there to see if he deserves another year on the list. Bonner to take Krak's role at half back, meaning DBJ will need to be the lockdown rather than roaming up the ground as he has done of late.

Out: Dixon, In: Schulz - Dixon is shot at the moment, played more games this year than any other year and is looking more mentally fatigued than anything. Schulz hasn't been in ripping form but deserves a farewell match at AO.

Out: O'Shea, In: Toumpas - I'd love to see this to give us more running options, but match committee will take the "safe" (read: dumb) option of keeping O'Shea in to get absolutely destroyed by Lynch.

Wouldn't mind seeing Lobbe out for Butcher, but it looks like Butcher's future is set and he's out of here so there's probably no point from a list management/development point of view.

 

[PAFC66]

O'shea normally does ok when it looks inevitable that he's going to be destroyed.. might as well throw him on Lynch and give Richo something to get excited about.

 

[ROBBBO]

Schultz must come in for Dixon - love him but Dixon is no good to us when not 100% fit

What's the word on Jake neade

Hope he is moving on just not up to it is jake.

Pretty logical inclusion this week in my opinion. Ball comes out of our forward line far too easily without him.

Tenacious small forward Jake Neade leads the Power in this area with 16.8 pressure points (third in the League).

He is the future Cyril.

This.

However I think we should be giving krak a decent run at it as a forward. Give him a go at it next year and I think it would pay dividends.

That should add to the goal tally

 

[ozph1870]

in jonas.. is he fit, doesnt matter, they will get nervous when they see we have given him the number 18 guernsey for the day... whack whack whack... turn it into a bloodbath..

Dixon did not train with the main group tonight but Bonner did so

Out : Dixon, Wingard
In: Butcher, Bonner

 

[1954]

Bonner to Krak's spot in defence, and the latter to replace Wingard up forward sounds ok to me.

DBJ to get the lockdown role on Betts with firm instructions to limit him to as few disposals as possible, even if that means sacrificing his own game.

Same with whoever gets the job on Jerker Jenkins, don't let the big campaigner get loose behind them for his signature Joe the Goose goals.

I just don't know why they wouldn't give Schulz one last AO game given that absolutely nothing is at stake anymore. Unless, of course, they are planning to keep him on more year.
