Changes v Adelaide

[JunglistPosse]

Anyone see the 10 news. The players have been wearing special masks on the trip to Adelaide (been wearing them all year) to minimize the dehydration that occurs on flights. A few Darth Vader look a likes there.

Hi just sneaking in over here to wish your lot all the best this Friday. Making me feel just a bit dirty but all this WA footy love has got to me! Really enjoyed watching Freo smash the cats & crush the other scott muppett too Gotta love those twin girls hey! See you in the GF

 

[Dormammu]

Kep out, Clarke in.

Looking for more leg speed in the forward 50 I guess.

And exploit their lack of a mobile second ruck.

 

[TheLastCall]

Teams are out.

In: Clarke Out:Kepler

In: Henderson, Thompson Out: Riley, Talia

 

[Moo]

Talia is a big out too - Clarke/Sandi to stretch em

 

[Nickos66]

Not enough Key defenders for the Crows to cover Pav & Clarke, with 2 going to Pav and one to Clarke.

Plus Mayne, Ballantyne, Walters and a resting Sandilands (when Clarke is rucking) Should make for interesting time for the Crows defenders

Stupid, stupid selection.

Hopefully just ducks and drakes.

 

[teamex]

any word on the reason kepler's out? or just a structure thing?

 

[Arcassius]

Structure - Adelaide have been stretched by talls all season

 

[Frigate]

KEPLAR.....KEPLAR wot no KEP
Your my boy Kep, your my boy, now all I have is dust in the wind! The selection change is not a good one for me, but a win will leave the door ajar for the mighty Kep!

Clarke's form earlier in the season was far better than anything Kepler has dished up. If he can get back to that, it'll be a massive boost.

I know stats don't tell the full story, but looking at it very simplistically... Clarke's kicked twice as many goals, laid three times the amount of tackles, had twice the hit-outs, twice the I50, twice the 1%, and taken one and a half times the contested marks in just two extra games.

Kep averages half a goal a game and Zach has averaged .9. Kep has 50% more disposals per game, and they both average almost the same amount of marks per game. Keplear does a lot of things he does not get stats for.

Anyway I am just showing my loyalty to Kep. I think he has been a good contributor. Like I said before, there is far more upside to Clarke, however he is very hot and cold. I am hoping Clarke has a great game.

 

[Righteo]

Problem with Kepler is that he is basically incapable of plucking a contested mark, Clarke at least as shown he has a massive leap and can pull down the odd screamer.

 

[BananaOnTheRun]

probably been mentioned already, but we've won 10 of 12 games with kepler in it this year.

 

[electricfeel]

probably been mentioned already, but we've won 10 of 12 games with kepler in it this year.

Hence why the commentators called him "The Factor".

I am indifferent to this change. I think it's pretty much like-for-like. Just hope big Zac has a great game and converts his set shots for once!

 

[Jezzitizle]

Zac just needs to make sure he doesnt go MIA. Great experience for him anyway.

Well there you go. Good season none the less dockers. We tried our best and played some bloody good footy.
However, throughout the yr we heard-
Drop mayne
Drop clancee
Drop Dawson
Drop suban
Drop hill
Drop duffield
Drop mundy.
And replace these guys with, usually silvagni, the great white hope.
Well surprise surprise! Ross was right. Yes silvagni is an ok player but he is no messiah.
I'm not here to rub noses in it but I just want all these silvagni lovers to pull there heads in cause he was woeful tonight and had a worse season than all the names I mentioned above.
