Game Day Practice Match up in QLD v the reigning premier

[KingChowder]

Surely more than 26? Not much for them to do back in Adelaide.

Isn't there a Crows vs WWT practice match on Friday?

 

[Cromulant]

Milera missing.

Nank has his opportunity

 

[crows dude]

 

[Scorpus]

Interesting that Borlase is listed in the squad instead of Butts who I would have thought is the more obvious backup

You'd have to think anyone not injured and not in that squad of 30 is not close to a game

 

[TBM]

Nicks just had to get lovechild Murphy in didn’t he…

Well in a squad of 30 you'd imagine so yes

 

[Trigger13]

No Taylor is sooooo Nicks. Really don’t like our coach.

I don't think there's that much between Borsa and Butts.

 

[Carmo]

Oscar Ryan is in. A few strange ones going by the previous As vs Bs.

 

[Cromulant]

No Taylor is sooooo Nicks. Really don’t like our coach.

He's one voice on a panel.

I agree it's strange, but it's not like the club doesn't rate him.

 

[TBM]

ahh, was going off the AFL app which had it showing as Murphy on bench and Dowling / Berry / Ryan etc as emergencies.

Makes sense if all in the 30 - even though I’d much rather Taylor instead

 

[Scorpus]

Likely best 22

B Worrell - N. Murray - Bond (replacing Michalanney)
HB Hinge - Keane - Laird

R O'Brien - Dawson - Rankine
C Cumming - Soligo - Sholl

HF Neal-Bullen - Fogarty - Murphy (replacing Rachele)
F Keays - Thilthorpe - Walker

I Crouch - Peatling - Curtin - Nankervis (probably replacing Milera) - Draper - Jones - T. Murray - Pedlar

E Dowling - Berry - Borlase - Ryan (this is confirmed by the club)

Injured: Milera, Michalanney, Rachele, Strachan

Bottom of the list (outside the top 33):

Smith
Butts
Schoenberg
Burgess
Cook
Taylor
Edwards
Welsh
Gallagher
McAndrew

It looks very strange when you see that extended squad. Maybe they don’t rate him.

Probably be similar to last week.

Play the best 22 for a half or 3 quarters and change it up a bit.

There's a few strange selections.

I mean he's not going to be in the 23 come round 1 which is disappointing but understandable.

Doesn't look like many strange selections to me. It looks like our best 22 with positional cover

We've got Bond as the Michalanney replacement. Murphy/Pedlar as Rachele replacement (Murphy potentially best 22). Nankervis next up for Milera.

Then on the emergencies we've got mid cover (Berry), outside cover (Dowling), key position cover (Borlase) and defensive cover (Ryan) - all who are probably next man up in those roles

To fill out the 26 named to play we've also thrown in our next up forward (Toby Murray) and coverage for Sholl/Cumming if we want to rest them (Jones)

 

[crows dude]

Billy Dowling, Sam Berry, James Borlase and Oscar Ryan are the emergencies.

Adelaide faces Brisbane in its Community Series match at Brighton Homes Arena on Thursday, February 27 2025, at 7.40pm (ACDT).

The match will be played across four quarters of 20 minutes, plus time on, with no interchange cap.

Adelaide’s Community Series game will be broadcast on Fox Footy, available on Kayo Sports and Foxtel.

The Crows kick off their 2025 AFL season with a clash against St Kilda at Adelaide Oval on Sunday, March 16, at 12.05pm.

 

[triggyscrewedus]

Big early season test for Thilthorpe, Andrews absolutely bullied him off the ball a couple of years ago at the Gabba.
It was a real case of Man vs Boy and Andrews was letting him know it.
Looking for the new beast to show some agro and get his confidence sky high.

It’s a squad of 30 with some first starters not playing. For Taylor to not even make the 30 which is really 33 with the players out is a joke.

Also shows how far back Schoenberg is who I thought was better than Berry who is also only an emergency in the 30.

SANFL Squad play WWT Friday afternoon 5.30PM at West Lakes.

I think there's a few guys playing new roles who'll get a full game in the 2s the next day.

Taylor and Edwarda would be better served doing that.

Murphy potentially best 22 ?? Cmon you don't believe that. Pedlar was ordinary last week, hence its a strange call.

Do you honestly think that’s why Taylor hasn’t made the 30?

Also interesting that I don’t think any of the emergencies were at training today.
