Preview Changes vs Adelaide

[Massive Unit]

I hope that Taz is ready to go, even if it's simply to be the link up man and drag his defender out of the forward 50.

The plus that he brings is the he know the leading patterns and will create one on one opportunities for Dish in deep 50. Bring it!!

Levi and Douglas are on par this season, both are serviceable depth midfielders, don't think either are stars, but both good footballers, problem is you only have him behind the star power of Danger, Sloane and Thompson. Whereas behind Harvey, Dal Santo, Cunnington and Wells, we have Levi, Gibson and Ziebell. For you to even attempt to include the Crouch brothers is ludicrous, and is the equivalent of me naming first round picks from the last couple years that are yet to get a decent crack. For the record...

Levi Greenwood Sam Gibson Jack Ziebell
Avg. Disposals - 24.9 25.0 20.1
Avg. Marks - 5.7 6.4 5.0
Goals - 5 4 5
Avg. Tackles - 4.3 4.3 4.5

Richard Douglas Matthew Wright
Avg. Disposals - 22.8 18.3
Avg. Marks - 2.2 3.8
Goals - 8 6
Avg. Tackles - 5.1 3.7

Very much disagree on your assessment of Douglas. Stats aren't everything either. I didn't include the Crouch brothers, I included Brad Crouch who is an absolute gun. Obviously you didn't see much of him last year, and it appears people have very short memories in footy. He was one of our best players in last year averaging 26 disposals and picking up 7 brownlow votes. He is just as good as many of the players you listed as 'depth',if not better. But clearly we both have bias views and your mind is made up.

Douglas is a gun who would walk into our current team.
Suggesting otherwise is ridiculous.

There's very little between Gibson and the crouch brothers, if anything they are more damaging. They went within a kick of GF 2 years ago. They have lost 2 gun forwards, decimated by injury but they are a good team.

Nah, Brad's a jet. Matthew is a battler.

 

[Black2Blue]

How's the weather looking in Adelaide, for anyone who is there?

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Critically underating of Brad Crouch in here. He will end up being better than Ziebell.

 

[Benno_900]

Matthew is a battler.

Harsh, he is in his first season and looked good so far.

 

[MinistryOfMajak]

I don't think Douglas is as good as some of you are making out.

Someone said he's every bit as good as Sloane...No, no he isn't. Sloane is class.

 

[Go the Guts]

Harsh, he is in his first season and looked good so far.

Yep. 28 disposals before 3/4 time in his 3rd ever game of AFL. We're very happy we've got him, will be as good as Brad, possibly even better.

Pretty clear but windy. Rain radar showing very little blowing in from the west... http://www.bom.gov.au/products/IDR641.loop.shtml#skip

Tarrant speaks well. Reckon he brings some more leadership and positivity to the group.

MmmNah I'm not gonna agree with saying that 2 players with a combined game count of 22 are more damaging then Sam Gibson who has played 48 and has been absolutely fantastic this year. Brad will be a gun no doubt, Matt is too early to tell, but for you to rate them above Gibbo over potential rather then output is just ridiculous.

 

[TooUglyForFugly]

Not hard to guess why, though.

Moronic

Always wondered what your middle name was

not bad, bit breezy, no rain today. 1 to 2 goal advantage to the hill end.

Cheers. Appreciate that, Cap'n Mckonky.

 

[MinistryOfMajak]

I am so keen for this. First game I've been to in years! We're gonna get up here!

 

[KillaKanga]

Anyone else found themselves rooting for Richmond in that last quarter? Would have been handy if they knocked off the Dockers, esp as their season is already rooted.

Are we all going for the Eagles as well?

 

[Benno_900]

I can't believe the Eagles are favourites.

It's one of the best contested possession sides against one of the worst.

Gold Coast by at least 5 goals.

 

[apollo_creed]

I like about 5kms outside the city and lookkng over in that direction its about to bucket down if my reading of the sky is any good. Expect a wet one tonight boys.
About to head off soon. go north!

Pretty much the definition of a double edged sword.
