Preview R16: Changes v Carlton

[Vader]

Does thommo stay home this week and CEY comes in after so many consistent games in the 2's? Hopefully seed back for pies

Highly unlikely that CEY would be selected, even if they did decide to rest Thompson.

 

[Bovo]

Mackay was excellent today.

Couple of great little taps to advantage that won't be on the stats sheet also.

My thoughts - unchanged.

Was he? Was he really? I thought he was woeful. Excellent? Nope. He was not alone however a few things really disappointed me.

 

[1970crow]

Gov should not be dropped unless really sore, kid is our best at making a contest in the air and boy o boy is he gonna take mark of the century one day hits it so fast. Also his pressure acts are really good

I don't think anyone has mentioned dropping Gov, a few numpties last week did. Resting what was a knock that clearly hampered him for a quarter and a half is not dropping him. It's resting him so he's straight back into the team as fit as can be 15 rounds in.

 

[Bovo]

Can the bar get any lower, excellent??? Was passable again, had some very poor moments and a couple good and the rest basically any player ranked between 23 and 28 could provide. Much like most of the rest of his year.

I would not say....most....of the year...!

 

[threefa9]

Seedsman in for Mackay when the time is right, then we have potentially our best 22 with a number of good options as depth

 

[Gets!]

Was he? Was he really? I thought he was woeful. Excellent? Nope. He was not alone however a few things really disappointed me.

I remember saying "well done D Mac" a lot more often today than I do most weeks...

Seedsman is better though.

 

[Harris Pilton]

Looking toward the latter part of the season, I think Lever needs a rest. Next week would be a good time.

 

[Redleg Crow]

Only question will be if Seeds is ok, I would suspect not, so no change.

Hard to drop anyone.

 

[thephenom]

Mackay adds nothing to our team. Sorry but over and over again he plays the exact same game. Times up please.

 

[hey shorty]

Seedsman comes in for someone if he's good, if not then it's hard to change. Smith needs a rocket mind you.

 

[1970crow]

No point resting Thommo. He's just come off a bye and an extra week rest. He gets backed in to build over the next 2 weeks and cracks his 300. If he continues to struggle for large portions of games then there will be genuine concern.

 

[Bovo]

Seedsman is better though.

Yeah I was the other way around today.

 

[hey shorty]

If it was Dmac or Smith, based on the last 3 weeks it would almost be Smith

 

[Red mist]

Apparently he does add otherwise he wouldn't be there. I'm indifferent bordering on see ya. It takes losing form to see him drop out. Do we want losing form?

 

[creme_fraiche]

Sorry to be that guy but for us non-Adelaide based fans can I get a bit of info about Doedee and his recent SANFL form?

Hear nothing over here in the Wild West and it seems like everyone is lusting over him ATM. Would like to know more.

Been our best SANFL player in the last month IMO. Rebounding the ball well and seems to have some tricks. Wouldn't be far away should we get an injury

 

[Houston]

How good would it be to bring in Seedsman and a fit Hampton this week. Would be even more excited leading into finals if that's possible.

 

[hey shorty]

Hampton might he ready to SANFL this week. Could be a wildcard at the end of the year but its a tough side to crack.

Has consistently been in one of the best for the past couple of months. Looked shaky early, but once he settled into the pace of the SANFL, he has been quality. Shuts out his opponent and has taken some very impressive intercept marks. Very good in the contested situations.

Think Ben Hart

That was the strong word about him when we drafted him and I was reluctant to say it, but now I'm converted. He has a long way to go but could easily become the second coming of Ben Hart with a bit of Andrew Mackie flair.

Been in the SANFL best every week for the past 7 games and is very, very close to selection.

 

[Elite Crow]

I thought Mackay was very instrumental in the game in that last qtr ......first half he was fumbling every ball in close

That's been his last 3 games, 3 big last quarters have saved his games. Perfect sub games.

 

[Elite Crow]

If it was Dmac or Smith, based on the last 3 weeks it would almost be Smith

Let's swap roles before we compare performances. Let's try Dmack in defence and Smith on the wing.

But seriously anyone suggesting Smith is in doubt needs to pass me the bong.

Thats half the issue, Smith is being forced to defend and he is no better than David, at least not one on one.

He needs to get better, we know what he's capable of.

Then stick him on the wing and he would smash what Mackay is producing.

 

[Glenno23]

How does Lever get credits after only 25 games?

It's a bank loan. We've done the maths and we've figured Lever's gonna pay us back with plenty of interest over the coming years
