Preview Prematch discussion/changes vs Adelaide

[ozzyoslo]

Not as keen as most others to bring in Waite. Whilst I agree he is probably our best forward when fit, the reality is he won't be at the club next season.. so would rather continue to play those who are

BBB isnt going to follow up with another 6 goal performance.....he needs support.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

We need more pace this week, not less.

Their HBF's and wingmen are electric (Hampton, Smith, Laird, Milera)

We need to give them players to worry about.

I'm heading down there on Saturday morning, going to the game with my Uncle and then staying the night. Flying back Sunday evening.
If we get smashed I'll be smashing the Tassie Pinot in consolation.
If we get the win, I'll be smashing the Tassie Pinot in celebration.
Hyeppy Days........

Bet they sell some nice, rich, full Margaret River Cab Savs down there too ...

Unfortunately it looks likely that Luke goes back to stand Lynch, with Macmillan, Williams, EVW, Taz, Hunter and Lachie.

Losing Mullett could not have come at a worse time, given Adelaide destroys teams on the turnover and Fish has been our best user this year. Bringing in Hibberd could not happen at a worse time considering he probably went at 20% by foot on the weekend, including at last half a dozen rank shanks that you would see at OzKick. It was an encouraging performance because he get very involved but yeah, deporable kicking.

Yeah you really have to feel for Fishy big time.

Was having such a decent crack, and seemed to be in a good groove. Almost like he'd developed an extra feel for the game.

Has earned the right to come straight back in if it's only 2, even 3, weeks IMO.

 

[adrenalinjunkie]

$6 to win. Get on!

Interestingly Sportsbet had us at $6.50 initially.

Must have been a bit of quiet early support because we've now firmed in half a point in the space of 24 hours.

 

[Donkey Chop]

do you give us a chance DC?

We're always a chance

I think North was thinking about the Adelaide game that's why our performance was shit against the sunny boys . I reackon we will be up and about next this week . North won't roll over that easy . I have a mate that is mad for the crows , him being from Adelaide. I just sick of him tell me how well they're going and how they're going to destroy us . **** Brad please bring in hybrid to knock a few over . We want our wrecking ball in .

 

[Groin guru]

We are due a loss and Tassie sounds about right. Think this game will be close and ugly.

You would want to play Thomas. He cuts us up. Maybe because he is an SA boy. I would be more than happy for him not to play.

I absolutely love Preuss and want him to take over from Sauce. Please give him to us. No idea why he was dropped but happy if he doesnt play as well (although he is wasting away on my fantasy team).

Heres hoping that global warming kicks in this Friday and its mid 20s with no wind all weekend.

Preuss for lever and cameron

 

[KiwiRoo]

F*** that negative shit..

2nd win this year on the way to the flag. I can feel it in my bones.

 

[Hobbes]

You guys should be a safe bet. Kerridge isn't playing.

I think size is going to be more of an issue TPA.

They are the most physically mature side in the comp and we would rank amongst the most physically underdeveloped at this point.

You are talking WA reds, right?! No such thing as a rich, full WA red imho.

(Edit: On the other hand, if you're talking about rich, full rednecks, we have them in abundance.)

 

[Pep Fraudiola]

Why the hell do people want to drop Wood or Simpkin??? They'll learn nothing at Werribee. They can stay in the rest of the year.

Out: Mullet Hansen
In: Clarke Preuss

It's unbelievable.

Young player tired after game in Perth the previous weekend. Call CNN.

I want to see Zurhaar, the kid will give their defenders something to think about. Simpkin, Garner and Zurhaar as a group of smalls could be electric.

I think we need to go significantly taller to give us some options. We are going to get out-run, so we need a point of difference.

In: Waite Preuss Zurhaar
Out: Mullet Gibson Turner

B: Thompson - Tarrant - Vickers-Willis
HB: Williams - Hansen - Ziebell
C: McDonald - Wood - MacMillan
HF: Garner - Waite - Atley
F: Simpkin - Brown - Cunnington
R: Preuss - Dumont - Higgins
I/C: Goldstein Zurhaar Hrovat Anderson

Em: Clarke - Mountford - Nielson

Clarke to play VFL this week and come in next week against the swans.

Turner rested to work on his kicking.

Gibson because he's played his good game for May and we can bring him back in June.


Get Preuss to smash Jacobs early and then let Goldy run all over him as the game wears on.

Leave Cunners and Ziebs out of the guts as long as possible giving them a decent crack at the 2nd half when we will really need them.

Woody into the guts to get his hands on it early and warm into the game.

Half a chance this week but we need the wind to blow hard to put some pressure on Adelaide's field kicking.

I just hope we play accountable footy. Id hate to see waves of crows running unchecked.

Do you guys do a 'banter' thread for pre-match discussion with the opposition?

I was, for sure.

Where would you look to for a top Cab Sav: Coonawarra? McLaren Vale maybe?

(I like them from there too.)

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

so no then?

Typically not, it is mostly the same old tired gags and has bugger all originality in them, so we often do not bother with them.
