First Rookie to be elevated?

[ipswichpies]

Come on down M.Williams I think he has deserved to be upgraded he was pretty good in the nab cup and he has been very good over the last month in the Vfl.

Has a bit of ticker and is hard at it'someone said he was kept out VFL last weekend for a reason and yes I think he has a good chance to debut this weekend.Well done mate and good on you.

 

[vjknight]

i recall last weekend when there were questions asked about why marley williams didnt play in the VFL. i considered then this was a good indication he'll be upgraded for this series of 3 games before the bye. better to have rested him and prepare him for senior debut, rather than run him out in the vfl.

clearly will play in adelaide. there is no other reason to promote him.

I hope Elliott gets a game this week.

Throw him in the deep end I say.

Congrats to Marley, obviously he was held back out of the VFL game last week in preparation for the Crows game and his debut.

He'll have a ball on the dewy, wet ground in Adelaide.

I had a Feeling that was the Case and I reckon he will do well. Though would start as sub

 

[Cousin of Daicos]

I think Dids might be the sub.

agree ed - dids should be sub til fully match fit.

marley might be the one who goes off. i actually expect a tall to be subbed off. if wet, cloke or dawes possibly.

 

[mattys123]

I think Dids might be the sub.

No chance, we are missing Swan, Ball, Brown, Reid, Tarrant, Caff and Krak and you want to put another one of our best players as the sub?

One of the two kids who come in will be the sub, whether it's Marley, Ugle or Young, one of them will be the sub, guaranteed. We did it with Yagz and Seeds, we will do it with Bob or Ugz.

Marley in first half - means we have a gun to sub in rather than a rookie when the going gets tough in Q3/Q4

And how does he get fully match fit if he isn't playing full matches?

If you want to get him fully match fit, you either play him in the seniors for the match, or the VFL for the match. on point sitting him on the bench for 3 qrts hoping he will magically become match fit...

The going is going to get tough from minute one this week though, Adelaide have show that over the past few weeks, that if you don't go with them early, you have very little chance.

Start Didak, and have a kid come on later as the sub, because to put it simply if we start badly, we can not win this game, as if we start well, and stick with them for 3 quarters, we may be able to win this game late due to having two days extra rest.

I'd start Dids and consider subbing him off late again, rather then the other way around.

 

[blaze036]

being the sub will kill dids confidence.. no thanks

 

[i_hate_scams]

i think marley and ugle will come in and ugle will be the sub, or Elliott. gota feeling s.buckley could be dropped aswell.

I think marley will be sub to wait until a bit of the initial heat is out of the game. I don't think Dids was subbed because of lack of match fitness. It happened pretty quickly after he ducked his head in that marking contest.

 

[obleex]

Congrats Marley!

 

[Stripes B and W]

One of the inclusions most likely to be sub. i think it will be Williams, not a bad way to be eased into your first game.
Dids will start and must set up or kick goals. No doubt he was subbed after a poor attempt to mark and a poor attempt to spoil. Very important next for weeks for Dids and a huge bonus to our chances if he comes through.

Congratulations Marley!

Take a moment to admire what this kid has just achieved ...

He was effectively our last rookie draft pick last year (naturally excluding pre-selected internationals and NSW scholarship and re-draftees)

He Was #35 in the rookie draft overall.

And he's debuting in round 9 of his first season!

And playing for one of last year's grand finalists. Incredible!

Go Marley you good thing - the sky is your only limit!

 

[TheFreshBanana]

No way should Didak be sub. He's our softest player in the side, won't have any impact on the game with his "fresh legs".

I think he has come on really well and I think he was a Massive Steal in Rookie Draft

 

[Aliago]

I will say Knightmare was all over him before the national draft. You are an oracle.

 

[TradeDraft]

Marley did a Fantastic Job in his Debut Game.

Was a Massive Steal in the 2nd Round of the Rookie Draft

 

[Number 10]

Yeh, he had a great game and didn't do anything wrong really. He can hold his head up high. Who next? Could be as soon as this week in shae mac to cover a kpd spot. Doubt it though, the pies usually back maxwell, toovey and goldsack to play tall if needed.

 

[blaze036]

C.Mooney please! give him a game

 

[Number 10]

Mooney!! Upgraded for Keeffe...

Great news for two reasons, one he will get a game... secondly his groin injury scare from the weekend was just that, a scare!!

Bad news is, this means someone from the fwd line will come out for him? Wellingham (injured in the last 10 seconds)...?
