Preview R11: Changes vs. Waalitj Marawar (West Coast Eagles)

[Pugsley]

And that would be the more intelligent ones

That is very rare.

 

[TBM]

They were hinting on 10 News that Walker will be a late out.

Not sure why we couldn’t just make the call for him, or earmark a game where he needs a rest and commit to it.

If he was sore at start of the week it shouldn’t have even been up for debate. Even if he was earmarked to have next week off.

Good clubs and coaches look for opportunities to find out a bit about their list, especially in games where they can afford to try a few things

 

[mulz]

Finally Pedlar in, been a class above in the last few Sanfl games.
I'm still convinced this guy will be a gun, if not here at another club

 

[chrisso crow]

If we go out 1st week of the finals, he needs to be given the arse.... but this is AFC who have embraced mediocrity in the Nick's era.

It hasn't just been the Nix era................it's our MO sadly

 

[Betts are off]

Pedlar is back, LFG!!!

Come on Luke, take this opportunity and don't give it back.

FB happy clappers be like

 

[Mr MysteryGuest]

Hi all

I see Pedlar is back in the side for the first time this season. Is he any chance at all of holding his spot and featuring regularly or semi-regularly through the second half of the season?

don't hold your breath

 

[thebirdman 24]

Good to see Pedlar back. Nank has lost me the past month.

Now, for those that watch Sanfl - what position does Pedlar play there? This will tell me the position he won't be used in this weekend.

 

[jirkago1975]

Needed to go really small this week with rain predicted!! Dowling, Edwards or Sid this week. With west coast being so young, perfect opportunity to play Sid in the middle for 50to 70% games to see what he’s got.

Dumbfounded why Tex would be considered with his form as well as bad weather.

Rain predicted- in Adelaide? Ha ha, that must be joke ( or 1mm).

 

[footy4ever]

Crows being very respectful holding off pulling Tex out until the very last minute before the game.

Even the suns going to shine on a dogs ass one day

The forecast has changed.

The rain, if it arrives, will be after the match.

I just looked at weather forecast for Adelaide on Sunday - it says fine. Or at least, hardly any rain of consequence.

 

[WetCrow1991]

Glad Pedlar is getting another look

Really has had 12+ months in the wilderness after looking quite promising before that.

Not sure what went wrong for him but hopefully is getting things back on track. Think he adds something different to our team.

Laziness is the issue.

 

[WetCrow1991]

Walker not being rested is putrid decision making.

 

[Danger in Texas]

Walker not being rested is putrid decision making.

I think he still will be

 

[WetCrow1991]

I think he still will be

Hope so.

 

[1990crow]

I think he still will be

Not announcing it just makes them look stupid.

 

[adelaidecrows]

on an emotional level, yes

ok that was a good answer.

 

[adelaidecrows]

Those same coaches have delivered how many finals appearances?

Ahh so this means bigfooty right, coaches wrong.

 

[blighty]

Cant see it, they WANT him to succeed.

Why shouldn't Pedlar get the same opportunities as Murphy(116 games) Jones(92) Scholl(79)Schoenberg (61) ?

Utterly crucified by the inept useless coach when played against Geelong as a defensive forward (whatever that means !) and blamed by all those who are quick to judge !

He's been picked 30 times & never once been encouraged to play to his strengths.

He could kick multiple goals this week if given a full game but will still be judged by how well he defends.

Nick's rubbish comment today about getting his body right is just another case of blaming the player. Nicks never owns up to wanting every player to be a defender but that is the aim of this charlatan We are seeing it with Curtin, Peatling, Taylor Neal-Bullen & Cumming who are so "opponent conscious" that going hard at the ball is a secondary aim !

Neal-Bullen played many games in the midfield with Melbourne; with Adelaide he's played as Murphy's classier replacement & never tried as a midfielder.. another defensive forward we don't need !

 

[adelaidecrows]

At least if he did that, he would be getting a kick
More than what he does on game day

Ranking 70 for kicks for defenders in the entire competition suggests otherwise. 6 x 18 = 108 players play defence every weekend. ranking 70th while not in the top 50 is still pretty good.

You sir, win the chocolates!

 

[adelaidecrows]

Stop complaining, you have no idea what the coaches do, trust the process.

ahh sarcasm...my old friend.

Did you leave school before reading. Its not my narrative at all.

Not once did I say dont complain, dont discuss. My criticism is based at posters who get so personally offended when someone dares question the mighty narrative they get attacked. Just like you all are doing now. Im just like wtf, discuss the topic, but play the ball not the man. FFS!
