Preview Changes vs Sydney

[King Elvis]

Porps out for Crouch.
Mackay out for McKernan.

Reilly and VB on thin ice.

 

[DREAM TEAM BUFF]

NO !!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Mr_Moogle]

Mackay out for McKernan? Is the Freo game really that bad? I think I'll watch it on replay instead.

 

[King Elvis]

Drop Otten as well.

 

[Hell Boy6669]

Luke Brown out imo, seriously struggling.

 

[King Elvis]

How far away is Shaw?

 

[Vooligan]

.......Already?

 

[King Elvis]

Out;
Reilly
Porps
Mackay
Otten

In;
McKernan
Crouch

Shaw still a while away?
Luke T doing anything?

I'd drop VB too, but with Reilly/Otten on my outs, he can take one of their spots and try and find a position worth keeping him in the side.

 

[redhorse]

Thompson in for Radar
Crouch in for VB
Smack in for otten

Classic "we just got beaten" post.
Dropping that many players isn't going to build a good team and/or culture. While I do agree with your Ins, the Outs need adjusting slightly, so, Mackay and Porps out?

Yeah posting the Changes thread at H/T ?

 

[Glenno23]

Porps has to be gone

Needs to play an SANFL game or 4 to get that confidence back

Crouch in

If MacKay is injured, bring in Hendo

Seems to be a race of who can start the weekly threads.... TBH who gives a flying focaccia bread who starts them?

Sadly we lost that game in the coaches box as much as out on the ground, although there was far too many passengers not offering more than one or two 5-10 minute bursts for the entire game.

At this stage:
Out: Mackay (Inj/Omit), Porplyzia (Omit), Martin (Omit)
In: McKernan (Dropped d/t weather), Crouch, Wright

 

[AdelaideFan14]

OUT
Mackay (Hip)
Reilly

IN
McKernan
Crouch

FF: Petrenko Jenkins Lynch
HF: Kerridge McKernan Douglas
C: Martin Thompson Sloane
HB: Otten Talia Smith
FB: Laird Rutten Brown
FOL: Jacobs Dangerfield Lyons
INT: Crouch Van Berlo Vince Porplyzia(Sub)

 

[Wood_Duck]

If nothing else, Crouch gets a game next week.

 

[spenze]

As poor as Ottens was today ( and he was really shit), he can't be dropped. Poor decision to play him given the weather and match ups.

 

[OrdinaryJoel]

OUT: MacKay (injury/omit), Martin (omit), Reilly (omit)
IN: Crouch, McKernan, Wright/Hendo

 

[jangofett]

Out: otten, Martin, mackay, VB
IN: smack, crouch, wright, (shaw/thompson)

 

[Lawrst]

I will say, today was not conditions to suit Dmac and Martin.

Crouch needs to come in and I wouldnt be against Mitch Grigg given a go either.

I could see why you'd think that, but I've been saying the same thing all year, even after our brilliant wins over such great sides as Brisbane, Saints and the Dogs

Mackay and Porps out.

Otten to the middle, or dropped. Structurally, he is a massive, massive problem for us. In 2009, he was a great defender but also chalked up ~20 quality touches a game. Now he's just another shut down defender - we've got two of the best in the game, we don't need a third.

Reilly/Otten are the problem, not Laird and Brown.

I'd drop Reilly too, move VB back, but that won't happen, unfortunately.



Our selection and structure has been a disaster all year.

 

[PykeDream]

Our depth suddenly looks disgustingly bad

 

[Lawrst]

Our depth suddenly looks disgustingly bad

Why?

 

[PykeDream]

In: McKernan, Crouch, Jaensch
Out: Reilly, Porplyzia, Mackay

Grigg and Henderson presumably thereabouts too.

 

[Lawrst]

I'd also like to see A Reily given ago. Probably ahead of Grigg, has the bigger body and could be useful against a strong Sydney side next week. Grigg might get battered a bit too much at this stage.

Our forward line isn't coming under enough scrutiny today, we wasted the ball inside 50 a lot!
