Isn't Sholl still eligible? He'd be in with a huge chanceAny chance Rowe for RS ??
Have to be under 21 on 1st January 2021. James turned 21 in September 2020Any chance Rowe for RS ??
TrueIsn't Sholl still eligible? He'd be in with a huge chance
He also said he really values stability in the team...
We you at the game?Although Lachlan Murphy’s goal was awesome, he is depth, probably same with McHenry.
Remember this team was built to beat Geelong.
Next week there will be a different team
Yeah I got shifted thoWe you at the game?

Yep, by about 3-1/2 months.Schoenberg surely! Rowe might be too old?
Sydney's McDonald has it in the bag if they win though
McHenry is basically a better Murphy, which is a good thing to have. You need pressuring, goal-kicking types that can might not be full time mids, but can play there if needed. Ned was manic at the contest today, like Berry/Keays etcMcHenry is easily best 22 based on what he showed today. Murphy was more than solid enough
I don’t think it’s true of a best 22. Best 22 for now, sureMcHenry is easily best 22 based on what he showed today. Murphy was more than solid enough
I think McHenry is starting to pick up the AFL pace, he did some nice things last year to beat his opposition but then another player catches him holding the ball.I don’t think it’s true of a best 22. Best 22 for now, sure
Well, if you put it like that, I guess it was ok...Let’s add it all up here because honestly, despite the hysteria here, I really think it’s still being underplayed a bit.
1) We lose our first 13 games in 2020, finish bottom and Brad Crouch, arguably our best player, walks out. We receive a pick in the 20s as compensation
2) Matt Crouch, arguably our best player, is unavailable for the game
3) Daniel Talia, one of the best key defenders in the comp, is unavailable for the match
4) Wayne Milera, arguably our most skilful player, does his knee in the preseason and is out for the whole year
5) We get absolutely pumped twice by Port in the preseason, and look like absolute sh*t in the process
6) Recent first round picks McAsey and Jones struggle mightily in preseason play and aren’t picked for Rd 1
7) Key offseason acquisition Jackson Hately also struggles in preseason play and isn’t selected for Rd 1
8) We go in with only 1 key defender - he’s a 2 game player and he has to play on Tom Hawkins
9) Our next tallest defenders are the sub 190cm pair of Doedee and Kelly - they have to cover Josh Jenkins who has 10cm on them. Doedee has barely played any footy in the last 2 years. Kelly only just gets passed fit for the game after preseason injury struggles
10) We roll out 2 debutants - one is a pudgy small forward who was unwanted for years until a breakout 2020 in the SANFL. One is a mid who wasn’t even one of our first 3 draft picks in 2020.
11) We’re facing the premiership favourites and they’re about $1.15 to beat us. Most people consider that overs
12) We lose Luke Brown to injury in the first quarter and have to activate our injury sub - this is Mitch Hinge who was unwanted by the Lions and has little to no experience
13) We lose Jake Kelly in the 2nd quarter when he’s knocked out by a brutal head clash - thats 2 defenders gone to injury with 2.5 quarters left to play
14) Will Hamill rolls an ankle in the 2nd quarter and doesn’t return to the field for the last 20 mins of the quarter. That’s another half back who is potentially gone
15) Shane McAdam does damage to his foot / ankle before half time - he returns before the main break but is noticeably favouring it and has clearly just been asked to park himself in the pocket
16) Mitch Hinge, the injury sub, pops his shoulder out early in the 3rd. That’s 4 defenders and 1 forward who have injured themselves and there’s almost a half left to play
17) Hinge, McAdam and Hamill are back on the field, but none are effective at all
18) Hinge pops his shoulder again and is now done for the night
19) Did I mention we’re playing the premiership favourites?
20) Dangerfield has at least 800m gained - I lost count
21) Guthrie, coming off an AA season, is carving us up
22) Isaac Smith is running amok - we can’t keep up because everyone is either injured or exhausted
Final siren: we hold on to win.
Absolutely unbelievable and ridiculous. This is right up there with the greatest home and away wins in the history of the club. Soak it up.
Yeah, because he'd already handballed...He also said Danger didn't have the option to try to tackle Kelly...
Our impression at the game was that he (Murphy) played really well. Impacted the contest on many occasions and had some really good moments.Yeah I got shifted tho
