Unofficial Preview Early thoughts: Round 5 vs Adelaide (SCG)

[scaryness]

Will need to put up more than we have so far this year to beat them. Uncharacteristic game for them this week.

 

[RUNVS]

Won't happen but I want

In
Cameron
Marsh

Out
Newman
Hayward

- Move Aliir down back
- Move Marsh into defence, giving him Mills spot
- Move Mills into the midfield
- Have Cameron play in the ruck a lot and have Sinclair playing in the forward line for at least 60% of the game.

 

[Punts]

Aliir back in defence

Newman out of defence

Ronke in

Why? They're s**t and got flogged by Collingwood, we're at home, they're missing both Crouches plus Gibson and Smith

 

[Artygunner]

Out: Newman, AA, Jack

In: Maibaum, Marsh, Cameron

This is our toughest game yet (even harder than the giants). Not expecting us to win considering our form and defensive deficiencies. Crows coming off a loss too! So not expecting much. Need to dominate the middle to have any realistic chance of winning.

 

[scaryness]

We don't make changes after wins.

That said
Out:
Newman
Jack

In:
Marsh
Ronke

 

[The King!]

We will kill them, they are flat and depleted

 

[Punts]

Who is out for them

Both crouch boys , betts , smith

Will walker and solane get up?

Am i the only person who watched the crows get pumped by collingwood in Adelaide last night? They're were terrible.

Teams lift against us.

 

[caesar88]

I’d like Cameron in, Newman out. Cameron can play forward/ruck with Sinclair, Aliir can play in defence in lieu of Newman.

Will need all the aerial prowess we can get against an Adelaide forward line that was uncharacteristically held on Friday night.

But I have a feeling Horse just is not a fan of the taller back line.

 

[brad cooper]

Teams lift against us.

Even if they do we'r still a better team than them. We've lost one game to top of the ladder, won 2 away games and won our local derby. They're not the same team this year no crouches, lever, betts, cameron and smith. Walker and Sloane look injured they're there for the taking.

Granted Gibbs is a valuable addition.

 

[Punts]

Wonder what injuries Kennedy and Rampe are carrying

What about their form though? They lost to Collingwood of all teams and at home. They're not playing great themselves. Not saying we will win btw but don't quite understand this line of negative thinking.

All good teams have s**t games. They lost it at selection. Going so tall in the wet.

Horse said JPK no injury, but looked really guilty when he said it.

Fair enough but they didn't just lose, they were thumped. I am sure they will play better and yes we will need to lift but the game is very much winnable, in fact thinking more about it I think we will win. Their injuries help us too.

We've got a good record against Adelaide.

Would be nice to go 4-1.

 

[S120]

Kennedy had to be carrying some kind of injury considering how little time he spent in the middle in the last. He looked really hobbled.

 

[Jack Lord]

Hmmm. Just remembered Gary Rohan.

No expectation at all but wouldn't it be something to see him run out play a blinder.

Completely understand if he wants to take a long break, though.

We say this every year but if he is carrying an injury then he shouldn't be playing. I would rather see Ronke playing at 100% than I would seeing Kennedy play at 70%.
