is almost certainly going to be suspended for the match

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Fortunately for us Callum Mills is almost certainly going to be suspended for the match

Geez, he only just got back in the team.

 

[Crow till I die]

Out:

Taylor, Berry

In:

Draper, Walker

Lol berry. He was very good today. As for Walker, very tempting to give him another week off and a light week at training this week to really freshen him up

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Fortunately for us Callum Mills is almost certainly going to be suspended for the match

What did he do?

 

[KingChowder]

What did he do?

Hip and shoulder on Spargo

Swan in strife: Will Mills' return be short-lived?

Callum Mills elects to leave the ground and bump Charlie Spargo in an incident during the third term

[SellarStardom]

We should be playing Milera or ANB as sub and getting minutes into Draper and Edwards

Left the ground. He's in strife. Or I should say he SHOULD be in strife.

 

[KingChowder]

Left the ground. He's in strife. Or I should say he SHOULD be in strife.

Just gotta wait and see if he gets Carlton's lawyer

 

[CrowToon]

Think we missed Tex today but I'd rather keep him fresh for Brisbane and Hawthorn. I would imagine he plays though.

Taylor probably in the gun.

Seems it's deck chairs anyway until Matthew joins the bread line

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Out: Taylor, Milera
In: Walker, Edwards

Nicks will probably just do Tex in for Taylor.

Agree with this.

B; Michaelanny, Butts, Keane
HB: Laird, Worrell, Hinge
C: Cumming, Dawson, Curtin
HF: ANB, Fogarty, Keays
F: Rachele, Thilthorpe, Walker
R: O’Brien, Peatling, Rankine
I: Edwards, Berry, Soligo, Pedlar
Sub: Draper

 

[davos44]

People who think Milera should be dropped need to be sent to the black and white world of infomercials where everything is going terribly.

 

[TARANTULA]

Draper, Dowling or Edwards can do everything Z.Taylor can and has been doing. Time for a rest in the SANFL.

 

[1990crow]

Simply have to win this.

 

[CrowBloke]

Just gotta wait and see if he gets Carlton's lawyer

Could be worse.
He might track down Butters' lawyer to cop a fine.

 

[LiquidCrow]

Left the ground. He's in strife. Or I should say he SHOULD be in strife.

Should be. But you've already got idiots like Tom Morris saying Mills should be fine.

 

[Pugsley]

People who think Milera should be dropped need to be sent to the black and white world of infomercials where everything is going terribly.

Ok.

 

[daniel_4tw]

Gotta keep Draper in and would like to see him get a full game.

Walker comes in for Taylor.

Pedlar the sub maybe? Played a good game but man he looked gassed by the end.

 

[spenze]

Be good if we got some drive from defence.

Just give Milera the week off as managed and see what happens, god only knows if the game gets tight he’ll only fall over his skis

 

[AFC979810]

You want to drop Berry after that??

Yup.

Same way I wanted Ned McHenry dropped after Rd 4 2023 when he had a really good game.

Same way I was happy we immediately dropped Smith after he had a decent game this year.

I think we are worse of using a midfield spot on him that could go to Peatling, Rankine, Dawson, Rachele, Soligo or Draper.

If we had selection integrity, Taylor would drop back to sub and Sid would start. Tex would play in the twos. We dont need 3 talls on the SCG postage stamp.

Hang on - you want Selection integrity but want to drop Tex? Despite being rested for a game and half Tex is 21st for both goals and goal assists in 2025.

If you truly wanted selection integrity you would be calling for Cumming to make way.

 

[Danger in Texas]

Yup.

Same way I wanted Ned McHenry dropped after Rd 4 2023 when he had a really good game.

I’m not a huge Berry fan yet - but comparing his game yesterday to any of McHenry’s games is… something

 

[AFC979810]

Not as far off as you would think.

Berry yesterday: 15 kicks, 11 handballs, 6 marks, 9 tackles, 1 goal, 1 goal assist, 2 I50's, 7 SI, 493 metres gained.

McHenry: 12 kicks, 10 handballs, 4 marks, 3 goal assists, 7 I50's, 10 SI, 362 Metres Gained, 5 Intercepts

Berry against one of the worst teams in recent AFL history. McHenry against Freo.

 

[crows dude]

Agree with this.

B; Michaelanny, Butts, Keane
HB: Laird, Worrell, Hinge
C: Cumming, Dawson, Curtin
HF: ANB, Fogarty, Keays
F: Rachele, Thilthorpe, Walker
R: O’Brien, Peatling, Rankine
I: Edwards, Berry, Soligo, Pedlar
Sub: Draper

Agree with team other than Draper has to start. Cumming/ANB to sub

 

[AFC979810]

Absolutely enough with Draper being SUB. Piss of Nicks ya clown.

Top 5 picks last two years:

Pick 1 Harley Reid - Played first 11 games. McKercher - Played 9 of first 11 (subbed off once injured). Pick 3- 195cm Walter - played 8 of first 11 (subbed off once). Pick 4 Duursma - Played 10 of first 11 (subbed off once). Pick 5 Nick Watson - played 6 of first 11 (once as activated substitute).

Pick 1 Sam Lalor played 10 of first 11 games (No Sub). Pick 2 O'Sullivan - Played 10 of first 11 (No Sub). Pick 3 Jagga Smith injured. Pick 5 Ashcroft - Played all 11 games (No Sub). Pick 6 Langford 10 of first 11 (once as sub).

Draper played 8 of the first 11 with 6 of those games as Sub. What are you doing?

 

[Cromulant]

Taylor probably gets a spell, Walker comes back in even though i would give him another week.

Draper shouldn't miss but probably will, and Edwards needs a game.

Wouldn't be shocked to see Taylor for Tex as the only change.

 

[Multiballz]

Should be. But you've already got idiots like Tom Morris saying Mills should be fine.

Jesus Christ, elected to bump, left the ground, hit the head. Slam dunk case for nearly 5 years at least I thought.
Pft "Footy act". No a tackle is(was)a footy act.
