Game Day R16 - Adelaide v Richmond at the MCG (What could go wrong?)

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Murphy is the sub. Smith will play a full game

Someone will be out of position to due a glut of starting defenders

Great news

Interesting to see how we structure things though

Someone needs to move upfield to accommodate this

pouring now

Assuming it was a brief downpour.

I have the Storm v Sharks NRL game on at the moment to pass the time and AAMI Park is bathed in sunshine at the moment

 

[Shuestar13]

You can keep the sub off for a whole game

A win by any measure is needed. GC found out the hard way not to underestimate Richmond earlier in the year. Could be a scrap for a while, but just bank the win and move on.

Use Smith as 3rd wingman.

Prefer Smith playing than Murphy.

Wouldn't even bother using the sub as it's not like he gets many disposals in last quarters.

 

[Golumless]

Taylor getting 4 goals in the SANFL becomes a very interesting development with Murph as a sub; almost puts Murph in a "quarter to save his career" kind of scenario.

Draper......oh

We found that out last year!

Murphy as sub leds credence to the theory he was retained due to Nicks stubbornness around the online bullying

 

[FR0GGY]

Murph the substitute, does that mean we can substitute him out?

 

[CrowinNT]

Murph the substitute, does that mean we can substitute him out?

This concept has some brilliant merit
Just don’t give Nicks a heads up

 

[kirky]

Seriously, a side that gets within 10 points of the first ranked team on the same ground in shocking weather conditions should belt the crap out of Richmond.

But lets see what eventuates.

 

[Shuestar13]

Very true haha, but you were… not good last year. Not WCE bad of course

This year, an away game when you are a good team. Much like GC earlier in the year. Could be one of Richmond’s “up” games, but even so, you should have enough quality up front to kick a winning score.

Yep - just got to the G - sunny now..will be bloody slippery though

Murphy usually is rubbish, but Nicks keeps selecting him.

But yeah, being naked as sub usually means next out.

Not sure how much you can take out of the final team sheet but Hinge listed in a Forward Pocket piqued my interest.

 

[radiojake]

Perfect conditions

No excuses

 

[Eddie Murphy]

Would be the first time we’ve started 8 defenders for the year, no?

 

[Archie87]

So Nixxy can shuffle the deck chairs to fit the 32 year old flanker with 2 months in in his career left in the starting 22 but just can't possibly shuffle things around to play Draper, Edwards or even Taylor?

 

[Crow till I die]

Murph the sub... there is hope

 

[cmndstab]

Fortunately Murphy is so good at last quarters.

Or, the optimist in me says...lovely of nicks to give him a farewell game against a side we should thump

I doubt it
