I thought about it.
If Adelaide lose to the Pies and beat NM, then win their next 2 home games, they're in the GRAND FINAL!!

As opposed to the highly valuable consistent mediocrity served up by Smith and Murphy.

Smith's been pretty good in his games this year

Thats the fantasy nerd in you coming out. 90% of his "output" has been kick-ins and long kicks down the line. Defensively he is well past it. He very rarely hits up those precision, line breaking darts any more.
He is a safety blanket, nothing more at this point.

& Nankervis.
Its an unfortunate bi product of success. Most teams in the finals will have an excellent run injury wise. Which does tend to mean that several players miss out on getting an opportunity at the selection table. Its incredibly frustrating for them and for fans that want to see them given opportunities.
Edwards and Dowling havne't played a game in the seniors, so I don't agree with this.

It’s unbelievable we’ve pumped games into Murphy and Dowling, despite being impressive last year, hasn’t played one game. Nank has been cast aside. It’s stupid shit like this which keeps reminding me Nicks is a moron.
Painfully, I think that would be Thilthorpe who took main ruck duties if ROB was injured. Though Burgess would almost certainly play and be the forward/ruck.
Hopefully ROB does not get injured.

I was referring to their SANFL games

There's absolutely no way we should take one of the best key forwards in the league out of the forward line
Due to our poor list management in this area, he's also our 2nd best ruck.
The guy dominates wherever he plays.

See I don't think that's right. I think he's the best ruck at the Club, he's just more valuable as a forward.
If he rucked full time he'd be the best in the Comp and could win a Brownlow (not suggesting that this would be the greatest value to the team)

I think there are 2 big differences that has stopped them getting games.
1. We are contending and have been all year. So the spots available to let players develop for a block of 4-5 games is very limited
2. Our injury list has been small for the entire season (touch wood). We've not needed to delve too deeply into the SANFL list to cover injuries.
They'll both get their shot, and when they do its up to them to make it count. Cause the best 23 isn't gonna be any easier to crack in 2026.

The other thing is when they come in they will be ready similar to geelong they will have earned their spot and stay in the side once there
