Preview Changes vs GWS

[Bailey01]

I think everyone would prefer Laird. but at the moment Jaensch>Laird

If only Laird increases his disposal tally by chip kicks and backward and sideways kicks

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Lynch in for Martin as really helps our forward line structure (particularly when a tall on the bench being rested)... & he loves GWS!

Give Grigg a full run through the SANFL & make up our mind on form/balance who he can come in for next week... as not much gained by his return.

you honestly reckon at the moment you can drop Jaensch for Laird???

Its not really dropping Jaensch for Laird cos they are both in the team. But I would rather Jaensch play a wing role and Laird goes back to defense.

Laird finished training today by moving from the main "run and spread" group to the fwds. Did some goal kicking and had a 1 on 1 chat with one of the coaches.

More time on the fwd flank?

I would hate to see him dropped. just don't see where he fits in at the moment. not really a spot for him down back

Laird is an outright best 22 player and his form is better than Radar's

Radar would need to go before Laird

And he is in the future of the club

Not really.

dropped implies you played a game or three in the lower level. Don't actually think that happened.

Hardly. Didn't even play a SANFL game.

No. Dropped is dropped. I am not sure how people can try and spin this?

Club declared his performances unacceptable and he was left out of the Adelaide side to play Richmond.

No, not playing in a lower level is just rested.

Dropped means you have to go down a level, as in you drop down.

Didn't they declare him slightly overweight/unfit? He was rested for a week and then came straight back in.

 

[Elder van Berlo]

Argue semantics all you want, fact is Reilly was left out of our AFL team when he wasn't injured or suspended.

I call that dropped, you might call it something else, whatever it is it demonstrates that they're prepared to leave him out if he doesn't justify selection.

Correct.

His form was bad. So they dropped him from the Richmond game. We had the bye the following week so he went to fat camp for 2 weeks.

He actually looked a bit slimmer in the first 4 minutes that he lasted before he did his shoulder.

He's got the skill set that might actually go pretty well down there. At the absolute worst he'll offer some pace and kick and sheer aggression and pressure.

I.E. What Petrenko's meant to/has started doing.

 

[lunacy]

Gee the uproar if Laird was dropped........

To be fair he'd probably be next in line after Martin Reilly Petrenko.

 

[lunacy]

I'd prefer Laird in the team than Brown at the moment to be honest.

No way. Brown plays a much harder role with much greater responsibility and does it well.

 

[DJ75]

so the talk is we may bring Shaw in as coverage. Is Rutten out then?
Or could we go Shaw in Reilly out? One crap kick for another. I don't think I could stomach watching Reilly and Shaw in the same team!

 

[pjcrows]

Luke Brown does his job every week.

Which is a perfectly plausible explanation if you believe:

a) That resting improves fitness
b) That a lack of fitness can be fixed in a week.

Except he had more than a week.

He last played for Adelaide vs Sydney on the 8th of June. His next game was the 29th of June vs Gold Coast.

Thats 20 days of losing weight / improving fitness.

Packet of laxatives should do the trick.

Hartigan, Rutten & Talia respectively.
