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

[SilentHunter_]

Why though? I saw him in the first half of the reserves game yesterday and to me there are at least 7 or 8 players who played yesterday who are more ready to step up to the AFL.

Really? I thought McCartin was pretty good personally. Whereas Cameron still has a fair way to go. That's just my view.

 

[Kapanis]

I’d like to see him back in the side for Newman

Fox will work hard, Newman needs a kick up the rear

Agreed

I was the opposite. I mean I am not saying Cameron was good, or even AFL ready, but he seemed slightly more ready than McCartin as not once did I see McCartin lead up to the ball like a key forward, take a strong mark and then go back and kick the goal.

You must have not watched as he lead to the ball well and took a few

Him and Cameron are probably not ready to step up

If those 7 or 8 players aren’t tall forwards than they are not really relevant to covering a key forward post.

Still think we need two tall forwards in our structure.

I do as well but I think the better option is to bring in Cameron and then move Sinclair forward.

I want

B: Smith, Grundy, Rampe
HB: Marsh, Aliir, McVeigh
C: Lloyd, Parker, Heeney
HF: Towers, Franklin, Hewett
F: Papley, Sinclair, Jack
FOLL: Cameron, Kennedy, Mills
I/C: Cunningham, Florent, Jones, Hannebery

Don’t disagree entirely. Definitely need a tall forward to make a contest. Don’t know whether Cameron is ready fully but we might need to pull the trigger anyway (or McCartin).

If that did happen, id almost be inclined to leave Sinclair in the ruck given he will give us a lot more around the ground than Cameron. Cameron also played CHF in his final season of WAFL (kicking 36 goals).

We will probably just being Rohan back in.

 

[Blacky]

Wonder what injuries Kennedy and Rampe are carrying

Kennedy must be under something

Not breaking tackles like he usually does

 

[stevie26]

We've got a good record against Adelaide.

Would be nice to go 4-1.

Especially at the SCG.

 

[CheapCharlie]

MIght be time to bring back our number 1 player, James Rose

 

[CheapCharlie]

I'd love to see Aliir back in the team in defence, but i don't think he is game ready. He was a mess up front and i can't see a magical conversion just by moving him to the backline

 

[swansfan51]

I honestly can't believe anyone can be talking about this as a danger game. We're up against a team that just got flogged by Collingwood and is missing Brodie Smith, Matt Crouch, Brad Crouch, and Eddie Betts among others. We're missing Naismith, Reid, and maybe Rohan. Very easy win coming up at home

and we almost got beaten by a side that is missing a huge amount of its best 22 as well and is also one of the youngest sides in the league as a result.

Preview is up

 

[Kirkswan]

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

I don't think he actually said no injury, did he? He just said that he was fine, when asked if he was fully fit. I think he is dancing with the facts

Like you team, but I wouldn't be bring Cameron in to ruck.

The idea of a second tall up forward is to stop Buddy being double/triple teamed & IMO Cameron is capable of doing that. Why move Sinclair from the ruck where he is having a great year, Cameron can ruck when Sinkers is resting forward.

 

[grimlock]

From what I’ve seen Cameron is at best a ordinary ruck. In his last season in the WAFL he made his name as a forward/ruck not a ruck/forward.
