Prediction R12: Changes vs Adelaide

[sherrif]

Fyfe out. We are in a ton of trouble. Surely Blakely plays in the middle. Alex Pearce seems unlikely as well.
Outs: Fyfe, Alex Pearce, Jones
INS: Matera, Sandy, Logue
Ross said he wanted to get Logue back ASAP. Id drop McCarthy if there was an alternative, but I cant see anyone who fits the bill. Matera in with Walters playing permanent mid also has to happen.

 

[Cobbler]

I can accept the decision in true isolation. Was poor by Fyfe.

I can't accept it when compared to the numerous other decisions where guys have gone in recklessly and received nothing.

Buddy raises an arm and Hamling gets KO'd for Fs sake. Different how?

 

[MrDanggazz]

This is gonna get messy lads, no Sandilands, Fyfe, Pearce, Hill brothers. On a more positive note, Brayshaw for the rising star nomination this week.

 

[Quokka]

Fyfe's feet leaving the ground for starters, don't disagree that others have got off for worse but it was worth a week.

 

[mr.11]

Adelaide have alot of outs too!
Hopefully the kids have a crack

 

[freoextra]

So how is everyone's enthusiasm for this weeks game? Everyone still intending to go?
Must admit the team without Fyfe and the others against a team that plays finals most years is getting to the point of being non competitive. Is there a chance of any good news soon on players returning to fire up some interest.

Buddy had the ball. So the duty of care is reduced, apparently. Dangerous precedent, I would have thought.

 

[Freofalcon]

Does it matter?

Adelaide by plenty.

Buddy was trying to free his arms expecting a tackle. What was Fyfe trying to do?

I'll be on the train next Sunday.

Not with any high hopes. As I said earlier, Adelaide are actually vulnerable right now, but I doubt we'll be able to take advantage.

Christensen said Buddy wasn't cited because he had the ball. The rules are different for those who have the ball and those who don't. Sounded like a dangerous thing to say to me.

Happens every week, if you did what dusty does with ball in hand you’d be suspended. Throat chop.

yes. His fend-offs are often around the neck/ face region.

 

[StingBitten]

With Adelaide’s form, outs and overall confidence we might have been able to pinch a win here - but with the (likely) outs of Fyfe and Pearce it’s a fridge too far.

No matter what would really like to see Logue in this week.

Yeah this pretty much sums it up, tho its the mitchell one that really irks me.
Got off due to brownlow chances...AFL manipulation again.

 

[Bradesmaen]

Surely Adelaide are ripe for the picking.. I haven't watched more than 10mins this season unfortunately as I'm usually hungover and sleeping when games are on.

 

[stax on the mull]

Richard Douglas and Tom Lynch in injury doubt from Adelaide's GWS game.

 

[mike91]

Can't see a good crowd coming for this game.

 

[Tobiko]

Its going to be difficult to watch regardless whether its live or on telly or on the wireless. But if we are true blue about our team then we have to stand with the club. Deserting them now will not give our young up and comers any confidence. It only shows us up as fickle supporters. It will be difficult for the rest of this season and maybe the next unless we start getting a few stars coming our way at the end of the year. At the same time, I am also hoping that the club board doesn't go overboard during these difficult times and throw the cheque book at big name spuds just to try buy our way back. Its not going to be easy...

Hi guys. Even without Fyfe Freo would have to fancy their chances against a quasy SANFL team this week. If i was your coach having seen how melbourne absolutely ran the crows ragged on the big oval in the NT, i would be picking speed and trying to do the same thing. Make no mistake at home you guys are every chance of winning this week

We are slowly destroying the whole Fortress thing aren't we.

The worse we get, the smaller the crowds become and the less fun our new home ground becomes........

Cheers for taking the underdog status. If we had the ability to pick speed and run a team ragged we’d of tried that.

Both Hills out hurts our dash. Then take into account we’re pretty bad at the minute and I’ll be happy with a contest.

We don’t have the depth so any injury or suspension hurts.

Weather doesn’t look enticing either.

Brah. Don't even try to take the underdog status here.

33-35k...........

Its embarrassing for us as a club. Port are often mocked for their crowds etc........ they will get 50k at AO the next 3 weeks.
We are wallowing in this brand new stadium getting sub 40k crowds.
