Preview Changes vs North

[TubbsFarquhar]

I'm not sure if Sloane will be ready. I would go for:

In: Kerridge, Hartigan
Out: Thompson, Otten

But we know Thommo will play so it will probably be Lyons out instead.

 

[Dewy006]

Selectors out

Big footy in

The sooner AFC let the Adelaide Big Footy board take over the day to day running of the club including selections, the sooner we can return to former glories!

 

[Vooligan]

I say drop danger, douglas, rutten, talia, thompson, vb, jacobs and save them for next year

 

[PykeDream]

In: Kerridge, Hartigan
Out: Jacobs, Thompson (inj)
Sub: Lyons

We all know Jacobs is hopeless against Goldstein.

Hence we should concede any attempt to assert 'ruck dominance' and go with an extra runner.

Puts the onus on Smack to perform in what I think is his preferred role.

Talia, Rutten, Hartigan back to match up Petrie, Black and Tarrant.

Otten at FF to draw SD Thompson, Johnston and Lynch as roaming HFFs.

Petrenko to tag Atley, Kerridge on Wells and Van Berlo to Harvey.

Grigg and Hendo on opposing HBFs. Smith to take Thommo's spot in the middle.

 

[1990crow]

Out: Otten, Thommo, Mackay
In: Hartigan, Kerridge, CEY

 

[RePete]

Grigg was awesome. Give him a full game, he was stunning. I would probably put Lyons to sub next week; he is looking a bit tired playing out a full game. Lyons needs a good off & pre-season to gain a good fitness base + a bit more strength.Take out Thompson and put in Kerridge. Kerridge has to play to remind Norf of the meaning of pain. Hopefully Sloane is good to play. Oh and on Lairdy, I think he is looking a bit tired and genuinely needs a rest. I would say we need him against North but maybe rest him against Western Bulldogs if he shows signs again

Out: Thompson, Otten
In: Sloane, Kerridge
Sub: Lyons

 

[Kickin_Goals]

on the radio last night every time i heard ottens name it was quickly followed by, falls over, goes to ground, slips, sums up, turns it over.

He's great in the air. Not so great on the deck. Especially a slippery deck.

A few of our players went to ground at critical moments yesterday in the last quarter. That's pressure - pure and simple.

 

[Skippy231]

I'd be inclined to rest Jacobs and Thompson for the rest of the year.
Bring in Graham and see if he is worth retaining on the list. Play Grigg as an inside midfielder

Out: Thompson, Jacobs, Otten
In: Graham, Kerridge, Hartigan

 

[Jars458]

In: Ellis Yolmen Graham
Out Jacobs Thompson

 

[Bob Neil]

Thommo needs to be put out to pasture for the rest of the year for his good and for ours...I don't care if he thinks he's right to go.

 

[hey shorty]

Lyons had ice on yesterday, he might be an out. Thommo needs a rest but wont get one and both Jacobs and Otten were horrendous.

Out- Lyons, Jacobs, Otten, Thompson
In- Kerridge, Hartigan, Dowdell, Ellis-Yolman

 

[weekend at bernies]

They said Sloane was still another week away..

Out: Thommo, Otten
In: Kerridge, Hartigan

Grigg to get a full game, every game for the rest of the year.

 

[weekend at bernies]

Out: Trigg
In: inanimate carbon rod

 

[matty p]

In: Kerridge, Hartigan
Out: Thompson, Rutten (time to stick the cue in the rack with these guys for the season)

Lucky: Jacobs (because we have no alternative. Still flabbergasted we didn't draft Currie from Sydney last year)

 

[Slippery Pete]

Out: Trigg
In: inanimate carbon rod

If I hear the "it's mathematically possible to make the eight" this week, I will lose it.

If Grigg doesn't play the rest of the year, likewise.

If Kerridge doesn't come in and stay in for the rest of the year, likewise.

 

[1970crow]

Thought SMcK was passable today, and I'd rather see Jacobs spend a few weeks in the SANFL to try and wake him up for next year.

I'd like the blowtorch applied to smack. Jacobs out and graham in. Smack to first ruck for rest of year. If graham sucks, pay him out and recruit a player from sanfl/vfl who CAN be used when Jacobs injured or out of form. Thommo out injured, grigg full game. Kerridge in. Wouldn't mind vb with the vest, but won't happen.

 

[1970crow]

Also wouldn't mind seeing hartigan in for otto. But, otto probably on the trade table, so worried this could cost more than we gain.

 

[1970crow]

The sooner AFC let the Adelaide Big Footy board take over the day to day running of the club including selections, the sooner we can return to former glories!

Not day to day running. Dissolve the board, sack the CEO and bring in some hard edged people with experience at other clubs or industries. That's all that's needed.

 

[Mr Kitch]

Out: Grigg, Brown, Crouch & Laird (all too young)
In: Jaench, Martin, Porps & anyone else that's experienced but not in great form.

So much for what I think the selectors might do

I would:
In: Kerridge, Hartigan
Out: Thommo, Otto

Same - except I wouldn't bother with Graham.

And Jacobs - I don't want him 'rested' - that's a cop out; DROP him.

 

[Cap]

Dowdell is getting enough of it, if anything giving him a game will tell us if it is worth keeping him on.

 

[SydCrow]

If I hear the "it's mathematically possible to make the nine" this week, I will lose it.

If graham isn't going to play last couple with Jacobs out then he never will. I've no problem with that as long as we have the balls to pay him out and delist him. Sal cap is not an issue and he's got to be a waste of a spot.

They'll probably feel sorry for him and make him assistant ruck coach. Now that'd be a dream team.

Trouble is he is not the only one as believe have to pay out Jaensch and Martin as well if want to delist.
