Preview Changes vs Nth Melbourne

[Scorpus]

They can’t, given he’s missed 3 weeks the best he can hope for is sub like Soligo

 

[BACCS]

Do we think we will get some coverage on Sheezel this game? Or let him rack up 45 touches off the HB line without an opponent?

If we insist on keeping Ned in the side (which I do not), maybe its time we actually gave him a role. If not him, than Keays, but i'd prefer to give the role to someone who isn't our leading goalkicker at the 1/4 mark of the season (yeah, let that sink in for a moment).

I really don’t think it matters if you let Sheezel have 50, teams have figured that out quite quickly. The rest of North’s defense is so so bad that it outweighs any good from Sheezel. North average double the turnovers of their opposition this year.

Tex will probably get Corr this week, who is so far off AFL standard. North will even make Laird’s high balls look like perfectly executed kicks.

Quoting what Obama once said
Obama said “don’t underestimate Nicks’s ability to f*** things up”‘

 

[Scorpus]

Alright so based on the injury report, here's what I reckon Nicks will do

Out: Borlase, Cook, Nankervis, Berry, Sholl (sub)
In: Butts, Murphy, Crouch, Sholl, Berry (sub)

Murphy and Sholl 'ins' rather than giving Dowling, Curtin, Taylor etc a go...... Classic Nicks/AFC.

That's close I think - though I think Smith and Berry probably both don't play.

My guess is:
Out: Borlase, Berry, Smith, McHenry (to sub)
In: Butts, Murphy, Crouch, Sholl

Sholl comes in on the wing and Nankervis goes back to cover Smith, Cook survives. Murphy comes in to replace McHenry. Would be a great opportunity to pick Ryan or Curtin though if Smith is out.

 

[weekend at bernies]

What I'd like to see happen asap:
Nicks given marching orders. Thanks for all the feel-good; on ya bike.

Caretaker Coach Hombsch drops Smith to the SANFL until he can kick to a teammate (which probably means he'll spend the rest of the year there). Not that I am cynical .
Sloane told to come back via the SANFL as well, then delist.

Hombsch tells all assembled players that ALL AFL team positions will be earned from here on in, while looking directly at Murphy, Sholl and McHenry.
Underperforming players will be dropped and, to prove that, ROB, McHenry, Murphy and Sholl told they're out.

Curtin and Dowling reassured that they'll be playing AFL asap.

Imagine that: you may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one (in here).

then you wake up and change hands.

 

[Crow_Magnon]

I think we need some left field thinking:
Out: Gollant, Smith, McHenry (assumes Berry is fit to go based on injury update)
In: Butts, Curtin, Crouch. Butts up forward as a marking option / ruck chop out to replace Gollant. We can always swing him back if he's struggling. Keane and Borlase were OK last week, so I'd keep them where they are. Keane may be one to try forward too if Butts NFG. Not sold on Sholl either....Dowling an option to come in as sub.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Has a player with over 50 games experience ever failed one of our fitness tests?

 

[CrowBloke]

7) Dowling; has played on great game and two average games in the SANFL but better than some that played last week.

This!
Dowling is physically a better choice (height and muscle), could not possibly be as poor as either Sholl or McHenry, and has greater long-term potential.

 

[CrowBloke]

then you wake up and change hands.

... as in 99-100 ...?

No need.
I never make it to 99.

 

[Chances Are]

Yep, not only are we losing most games in the short-term with a shitty game plan, we are also neglecting our long-term by not prioritising our best young talent.

It's like our club has nfi...

They haven't.

 

[BACCS]

Will be good to get games into the likes of Murphy against such tough opposition this week, very important for our shape

 

[FullyBigKPro]

"You try telling (insert 'senior' player name) he's not playing..."

Only Darren Jarman the other day.

I’d hold that thought.

This is the AFC we are talking about.

 

[Crow_Magnon]

Not a selection thing, but how the hell did Larkey not get cited for this hit on Maginness. Almost identical to Greene's...

AFL looking after Adelaide Big Footy Board

 

[Rory Walkerfield]

People not getting the big hint from the SANFL last weekend on the key change that will happen this week.

Himmelberg for Gollant. Woohoo.

 

[thebirdman 24]

Murphy is back already? Surely, he needs a few more months recovery, and then we may as well write him off for the season.
