Unofficial Preview Changes vs Adelaide (thread closed, please post in Game Day thread)

[jmac70]

I am ambivalent on his spot in the side right now. He has plenty of time ahead of him. No need to rush for the sake of it. And Broomhead and seedsman need the games more than he does right now.

I'm not sure I understand why Broomhead and Seedsman need games more. What we need to do is pick the best side possible. I would prefer the club to give De Goey a full game, replace Steele with Broomhead and bring in Seedsman for Oxley. Ramsay can start as sub.

 

[Hardas]

Why do so people want to drop De Goey?

Most comments seem to revolve around Bucks saying he's not fit enough yet to run out an AFL game, leading to people opining that he's better off playing full VFL games rather than being sub for the AFL.

Fair enough, I didn't hear Bucks say that.

No love for marsh??

I'll love him forever if he can get us over the line on Sat arvo.

Take a risk and play him

That about sums it up for me. If anyone can mount a convincing case for using the same player as sub two weeks in a row I'll change my mind, but I'm a serious doubter that it's possible.

What position do people see Marsh playing long term.

 

[pablo disco bar]

Super sub!! Lol wing

He's all mine.

He was very impressive with Moore down back in the VFL, but it seems along with Moore, Seedsman, Freeman and Witts he needs at least one more run under his belt before he can come under consideration.

He's bulked up since last season, looked so much bigger in the thighs and upper body then last year, to the point where he has a Taylor Walker like body on him without losing that pace that will be his key attribute.

Can't wait for him to debut, it could be as early as next week vs the Saints, I sincerely hope we give a few kids a chance vs the Saints.

Seedsman has to come in!

 

[Rory Walkerfield]

via the coaching staff, apparentely All players lost between 3 & 5 kilo during the game. Cloke lost 5, another half a kilo he would have been taken from the ground a put on a drip.

This happened to us last year. We went up to Brissy in round 20 on a 27 degree day. Thrashed Brisbane but lost the following week at home (to a red hot Richmond).

My suggestion for you guys would be to get as many fresh legs into the game as possible after watching our guys run up and down on the spot in similar circumstances last year.

I thought Broomhead was your Man mattys123?

Play Moore vs the Aints?

Richmond haven't beaten us for 10 years have they???????

He was talking about the Crows.

I think he means White is barely a ruckman like Dawes is barely a ruckman. I think White is better than Dawes in the ruck but would prefer him as a full time forward.

I really prefer Grundy and white instead of grundy,witts and White. We are to top heavy with 3 big guys forward

Well forgets their needs. Broomhead and Seedsman will probably provide the team with more impact considering their skillsets than De goey. It won't harm De Goey to play VFL for a bit.

 

[mike123]

Because Bucks said he's not fit enough to play a full game and I'dd rather him play a full VFL match to get his match fitness up rather than him playing as the sub again.

I'd Prefer Grundy, White and Gault. Gault is allot more athletic than Witts and has shown he's more dangerous up forward IMO.

 

[MAGPIE2013]

Bucks did mention moore and marsh played well down back. I wonder if we could potentially see the debut of moore this weekkweek

 

[Jarryd vk]

Your cheer squad is at the Conventry end as we're apparently at the Lockett end.

thanks for that , good luck for the weekend ! Going to be a cracker of a game !

Had a toe injury in the preseason, won't be selecting any underdone players especially kids.

Give Moore a few games at the end of the year, no harm in getting VFL games into these kids...

Yep totally agree with you here jmac, good post however the only slight change to it that I'd make is I would bring Freeman in for Ramsay and make him the sub....he would be a much far better impact player and it would give him that little taste of AFL.....I think those 3 inclusions would help combat the Crows midfield and give us that extra added pace that we will need.

 

[PieNSauce]

Why do people want Gault, I thought our forward line and ruck worked well against Brisbane... Gault really is not a good player.

My reasoning was given in my previous post. I don't claim to have a lot to go on but I'd say that Grundy needs more of a chop out than White gave him last week. As well as that, on the small amount I have seen, he can be fairly handy in the forward line and I'm suspecting we need a bit more height against Adelaide if the weather is fine. Lastly, it took very little time for the club to upgrade Gault when a spot became available and so I suspect that the club thinks he's ready to take the next step. I'm no expert but all of that seems like at least some semblance of good reasoning. Like I originally said, it's just a thought.

 

[SApies]

Has it been mentioned that Cloke is a chance to miss with a knee problem?
Apparently copped a knock on Saturday and is still feeling it...
Expected to train a full session on Thursday and play but the fact that it's even being talked about makes me a little bit uneasy.
