Changes vs Adelaide

[Kamikaze]

It was reported on the Australian that Foley and Vickery look likely to miss the Adelaide clash.
Disappointing news as both players have not fully recovered from their injuries.

Contrary to a report on the Age Real Footy website this morning, stating that Vickery & Foley will be tested today before the final decision is made.

 

[SumTingWong]

Have a very good concept of weather and are bewildered that anyone would think 1-5mm is pissing down ?

Flabberbasted!

 

[DrMike]

Based on the report today my changes for this week would be:

In: Foley Grimes Vickery Morris
Out: O'Hanlon Batchelor Nahas Miller

B: Newman Rance Grimes
HB: Houli Griffiths Morris
C: Grigg Martin Ellis
HF: Deledio Vickery Edwards
F: King Riewoldt Jackson
R: Maric Cotchin Tuck
INT: Edwards Foley Connors
SUB: Dea

Nahas won't miss, he's played too many good games at AAMI and .... seriously what has he done to deserve being dropped?
They'll rest Dea or Ellis, possibly Griff depending on who Adelaide play. Batch would need to be careful or he's out but he's a great player.

Foley and Vickery need to complete training today (Thursday) to play though.

Grimes <> Dea
Morris <> Ellis
Foley (if fit) <> O'Hanlon
Vickery (if fit) <> Miller

If Foley isn't fit they'll keep Dea and sub Ellis, if Vickery isn't fit they'll probably leave in Miller.

All my opinion.

 

[BF Tiger]

The Age reports that Grimes and Morris are certain to comeback and taht Foley and Vickery are subject to fitness tests.

http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/tigers-hope-to-get-four-big-guns-back-20120627-2122t.html

So if all four come in who are the four to go out?

Miller and O'Hanlon are the obvious choices but who for the next two - Dea, Batchelor, Connors?

 

[Stylo]

Surely not Connors. He's exactly what we need up that end and performed quite well against the Giants.

Batchelor looked like he needed a rest and possibly a stint in the 2s, and though Dea is stiff to be dropped I think he will be the one to make way for Morris. Grimes for Batch, Morris for Dea, Vickery for Miller, Foley for O'Hanlon.

Ellis, Conca, King, Nahas or possibly even Morris to play as sub.

If they fail their fitness tests today then they will indeed miss.

Greg Denham on sen is pretty confident that Foley and Vickery won't play.

well thats pretty shit really.

can we drop miller for mcgune up forward? yes im serious. miller did sweet FA last week as he always does.
griff for grimes
batch or O'hanlon for morris

connors wont be droped

 

[rfctigerarmy]

I agree tunksy. McGuane (strictly up forward) for Miller.

Or shift Griff forward.

Dea for Grimes

 

[richmond_14]

Dea for grimes definitely, and you can't expect them to go in with connors o'hanlon and edwards. O'hanlon to miss probably

 

[Spanish_Fly]

How quickly things change, 7 pages of discussion on possible changes and not one mention of Edwards or Jackson.

 

[Ned_Flanders]

For me:

If Tippett plays, O'Hanlon and Miller make way for Grimes and Morris

FB: Morris Rance Grimes
HB: Batch Griffiths Newman
CT: Grigg Tuck Houli
HF: Connors Deledio Nahas
FF: King Reiwoldt Edward
FL: Maric Cotchin Martin
INT: Jackson Dea Conca Ellis

If Tippett is out, I'd drop Griffiths instead of O'Hanlon

 

[Livonski]

Batch and Ohanlon out, grimes and morris in.

Hope foley gets up, as he's crucial, but it doesn't sound like it to me.

 

[telsor]

I'm thinking that if Vickery is 'almost' there, then maybe he should play for Coburg on Sunday.

Extra day to recover, not so hard a game (and less of a big deal if they take him off early), and he could probably do with the confidence boost.

 

[telsor]

Have a very good concept of weather and are bewildered that anyone would think 1-5mm is pissing down ?

Today is predicted to be 0-0.2mm (no rain yet).

I hear they're gathering breeding pairs of animals and loading them on a boat.

Let's hope they ain't heading them toward Christmas Island .

Foley not playing will really hurt , hope they play White and send him to Thompson , leave Jackson in his outside tagging role . Grimes to replace Griffiths at CHB , Griffiths to CHF . Let's just hope the monsoonal 1-5mm stays away and the players don't get flooded in, nor caught up in the Adelaide hill landslide which is imminent from
such large rain fall .

 

[UpTheGuts]

Have a horse running at Morphettville on Saturday. To say I am something of an expert in the current and forecasted weather for Adelaide is an understatement.

Expecting a slow 6, but with wind helping I am hopeful of a dead 5

Don't mind the idea of giving Mcguane the run in place for miller!

Batchelor to stay in and make up for last week.

batch plays better as the 3rd man with grimes. i can see griff getting dropped for grimes

 

[adelaide3]

Matt Dea to be rested for me.. Seems to lack the polish that we need in our defence. Grimes would be the obvious inclusion. I still feel that we need to play Vickery, Certaintly drop him if we had someone adequate to replace him, but to be honest we dont. Post I beleieve is never going to be capable at AFL level, and Mcguane is....well Mcguane.
