Preview Preview/changes v. Adelaide - Round 4

Marty

 

[Dancing Potato]

Ah dang it, the poor bastard.

Hope he's straight back in when available.

 

[Scythe]

Hunter available, but I think I'd let him play a week or two at Casey and give Billings another crack. Was crap on the weekend, but a bit more versatile.

Yeah I don't think Hunter should automatically walk back in, and Langdons form has lifted in the last couple weeks.

 

[MarcMaverick]

Predicted back 6 w/o May + Hore

Lever, TMac, Petts
Salem/Rivers, McVee, Howes

Maybe Tomlinson, Adams or K Brown as back-up.

 

[Toump Ass]

I want Hunter in because he’s a massive flog.

McVee at full back is wild

 

[Proper Gander]

I want Hunter in because he’s a massive flog.

Massive flog 22 is an idea. Probably a Bay 13 one though

 

[MarcMaverick]

McVee at full back is wild

I think he can do it.
But its the top line that are the FB and the second thats the HB.

Sorry. Should have cleared that up.

Howes would be the guy playing tall, not McVee.

 

[MarcMaverick]

Howes would be the guy playing tall, not McVee.

So In that case

FB: Lever,TMac, Petts

HB: Rivers, Howes(playing the talls), McVee(not playing the talls).

Anyway just spit-balling.

Man I really don't see why they would risk May this week.

It doesn't make sense.

With how TMac is playing we have very little to gain and a lot to lose by bringing him straight back.

His ribs and back will still hurt like hell and you can be sure the Crows will be putting in some knees and elbows.

Would have to be dosed up on painkillers and will surely just end up sorer for the run.

 

[Crusty Demon]

If May's ready to play then let him play. He's a tough bugger. Still Not convinced he'll play.

 

[MarcMaverick]

Out Marty Hore
In Alex Carey.

 

[jhong]

Every now and then Crazy Goody becomes Lunatic Goody . We shall see if he picks May .

 

[netslave]

bound to kick 6.15 and get trounced

Just thought I'd drop by after watching training this morning. I was mostly interested in watching May. Hard to gauge too much based on the intensity of a captain's run. He didn't look uncomfortable at any point but wasn't greatly tested imo.

Did some one on one marking stuff with Roo at a low intensity. Some ground ball pick ups and overhead marking with the physios also with limited contact/ intensity.

Most telling for me was during lane work he was on the lead and a ball dropped short. Should have been a routine half volley pick up but he didn't even bend over to try. I don't see why you'd play him this week given the backline form and Tex also hampered.

Yeah I wouldn't risk it with May. Probably(like 80%) against the Lions, if not just give him a proper rest and come back post-bye.

Interesting, thanks for the info.

Only thing is they'll have him jabbed up on game day. Maybe the process is if you can get through low-intensity stuff during training then you'll be fine on gameday with the painkillers? As ribs are just a pain management process I think

Why are you so negative?
