Preview Changes vs Brisbane

[ftmch]

Murphy into the squad after doing 5/8th's of 3/10th of **** all in the snaffle. FMD

 

[BACCS]

Not sure why we named Berry ahead of Schoenberg, Schoey was clearly our best mid the last 3 weeks.

 

[Ciao Giacomo]

I agree. Perhaps we are trying to manage Harry’s workload coming back from a serious injury.

Harry and Zac were exploding from stoppages whereas Berry was getting caught and tackled.

 

[TRP1996]

Kinda hard to pick 5 from that bench I like.

Nank obviously. Crouch and Berry are alright, but obviously questions about ability for both to function in the same side as Laird.

Then its Cook at last chance saloon, a cooked senior coming off an injury and dogshit sub performance, M&M, and Tall Bloke Injury Cover.

 

[CrowBloke]

Brisbane have a debutant in their squad called Shadeau Brain.

That's the best name I've seen.

poor kid.
parents are clearly not 'the simpsons' watchers.

 

[Multiballz]

Perhaps. Or perhaps we are just very Adelaide in our approach to selection. Change takes time.

 

[Raysboy]

And the week before the Showdown he had a 15 possession 3 goal game...

We can keep him in for now.

 

[CrowBloke]

I agree he needs to find more of it, but if Ned can stay in the side after five-possession games and Smith after doing nothing coming on as the sub, surely Cook deserves some leeway too.

It doesn't work that way in Nicks World.
Smith has 250 games + leadership.
McHenry is Nicks' try-hard Golden Boy.

I'm not a fan of Cook but he can't compete with the above, not after a 4-disposal game.

 

[bigman]

Where is Gollant. Not in A or B team

 

[BRL121]

Nicks's press conferences are mostly bullshit these days.

Rolls out the same.

The bolded - once again, good is the enemy of great.

Great teams ruthlessly pursue improvement.

Good teams play a month of decent footy with plenty of passengers, but look at the barely acceptable outcomes and label them as sufficient.

I love that he described the pressure for selection coming from the twos, then added three players who haven't applied the pressure!

Then, he more-or -less implied an unchanged side.

They're just a standard choice of words designed not to offend anyone and impart not much information.

 

[Bernie L]

Brisbane have a debutant in their squad called Shadeau Brain.

That's the best name I've seen.

I watched him play his first QAFL seniors game as a 15 year old. Made them look stupid.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Nank obviously. Crouch and Berry are alright, but obviously questions about ability for both to function in the same side as Laird.

Then its Cook at last chance saloon, a cooked senior coming off an injury and dogshit sub performance, M&M, and Tall Bloke Injury Cover.

Surely Crouch & Nankervis are givens.

Cook we should persist with after a quiet game as needs continuity... but I fear he is an easy target to drop.

Smith should be an out, but likely to be promoted back into 22. Hopefully back to a wing & removed from defence.

McHenry should either be sub or back to sanfl.

No issue bringing in Berry as sub.

Surely Murphy doesn't warrant a return.

Burgess won't come in unless we have an injury.

 

[FR0GGY]

Brained them?

 

[Eagleboy2011]

Brained them?

A few years ago Adelaide United had a player Louie Brain. Nickname was Shitfor.

 

[Bernie L]

Brained them?

You could say that. He comes from Noosa. It was really good to watch as he was classes above every player on both teams.

 

[radzyb]

Murphy!

Equilibrium had been established

 

[Harris1991]

****ng Murphy.

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Calsher Dear ....I love his first name

[George Kramer]

Not sure why we named Berry ahead of Schoenberg, Schoey was clearly our best mid the last 3 weeks.

Reckon Berry could be the sub and want to give Schoenberg another full game.

I can’t work out how Smith comes in unless we plan on playing Curtin up forward.

Smith to HB, Curtin HF, Cook out
Smith to HB, Nank to wing, Jones?

McHenry out Murphy in
Cook out Smith in

We know one of McHenry or Murphy will play, Nicks can’t handle not having a shape shifting useless small bloke in the team

 

[Mr MysteryGuest]

Let me say it again

Smith is the wrong person to be sub. It defeats the strategic use of the role.

He either plays on field or in the sanfl

Why?

What did you expect? We have won 3 out of 4 with a 4 point loss mixed in
At least Curtin named on the field - means he is almost certain to play.

Nank and Crouch will play and the rest named on the bench are well chosen. Any of them could miss and not be unlucky

[GreyCrow]

Why?

Because I dont think he is suited to the ideal of a sub which is to be an impact player in any position.

McHenry , Berry, Pedlar even Murphy can come on and be that more than Smith

Sorry but I don’t think that’s true. A non-cooked Smith is more flexible than any of those players.

Obviously Smith is almost charcoal these days, but maybe the coaches saw reduced game time/running would help him
