Where’s all the clappers with the bed wetting posts?

FFS ... back to selection shockers.

Draper - effectively starts for injured Crouch - OK

Murphy - for injured Rachele - massive FAIL. Taylor, Pedlar, anyone else!

Nankervis going to be sub ahead of Milera - FAIL

Butts non selection for Borlase to tackle Suns talls - FAIL

Tex not being rested for hot conditions with short turnaround - FAIL.

We are going to get the result we will deserve & also risking the Cats game with selections.

How do we know Murphy isn’t the sub? Haven’t seen any media stuff this week so not sure if I’ve missed something here

Historical analysis of Nicks.

 

[1970crow]

Remember when people thought Murphy was 24-27th in the selection order

Good times

Him being one of 3 emergencies to travel for the lions trial was had no meaning whatsoever. He was still beh8nd numerous players that didn't make the trip.

Good times.

Kym/Rooch seemed to believe that’ll be the case (Nank sub, not Murphy)

But obviously who knows until the hour before the bounce

 

[dogs105]

I hope Murphy and Nank play well. I've been looking forward to seeing Nank.

If we get a 2024 -Murphy performance, he should be one and done.

Well ah, with two injuries isn’t he the 24th of 25th picked player this week and in that range?

 

[Brasher]

We've been struggling for a whipping boy through 3 rounds so I commend the AFC for filling a blaring gap.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Look i would love us to play Curtin in Crouch's role & up forward... with Draper replacing Rachele & doing some on ball... with Nankervis convering Curtin as 3rd wingman... but we know Murphy is coming in for Rachele.

Happy to be proven wrong... but I doubt it.

 

[adelaidecrows]

You just know Murphy is in for Rachele.

Confirmation Idiots don't gain IQ over oreseason.

True. Im just holding out hope logic is present.

It's obviously Murphy a straight swap for Rachele, into the 22.

Draper into the midfield rotation (small mercies). Plus more centre square time for Peatling.

Nankervis sub.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

True. Im just holding out hope logic is present.

You think Nicks is logical with selection integrity?

Milera over Nankervis.

Murphy named emergency every week... so he will be 1st in regardless of form.

We all know it.

Those two aren’t getting any mail haha, all just guessing at this point. It seems like Murphy is last in, so I hope he’s sub. Nank with 9 coaches votes to Murphy’s 4 last week is hopefully an indication of that…

The only way Murphy is sub is if Nank or Cumming is going to half back and Laird is back in the middle.

Nankervis sub.

It could also just be Draper into midfield rotations with some forward time, Nank to float around wing/half back and Murphy sub. Peatling seems to playing a bit forward too.

Nank had 9 coaches votes to Murphy’s 4 last week and Murphy has been playing midfield, so I’m clinging to that hope.

 

[Thrillthorpe7]

The only way Murphy is sub is if Nank or Cumming is going to half back and Laird is back in the middle.

You can also rotate through the bench

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

What i would do (no chance Nicks will).

B: Michaelanny, Keane, Borlase
HF: Laird, Worrell, Hinge
C: Sholl, Dawson, Cumming
HF: ANB, Fogarty, Keays
F: Rankine, Thilthorpe, Walker
R: O'Brien, Soligo, Peatling
I: Milera, Curtin, Nankervis, Draper
Sub: Berry (Murphy late out)

Rotate Curtin & Draper through middle & up forward.

Nankervis 3rd wingman.

 

[Trigger13]

Would have played Bond.

 

[ams4crows]

Would have played Bond.

Yes I would have to

 

[cmndstab]

ROB on AA his arvo when referring to Murphy, Berry and Pedlar: "they'd walk into any other team's 22".

**** no they wouldn't ROB.

To be fair, he didn't say "any other team's 22", he said "many other teams' 22".

Still a bit of a head-scratcher statement, but not quite as arrogant as saying every other team.

 

[1970crow]

Nankervis sub.

What I’d love to see is Draper remain sub, Murphy replaces Rachele and Nank to half back with Laird replacing Crouch. I doubt even Nicks could deliver such joy, but if any man can, it’s him.

 

[Thrillthorpe7]

Felt like a really good opportunity to play Taylor in Rachele’s role

 

[1970crow]

You can also rotate through the bench

So we’re going to play with 8 defenders this week instead of the 7 we’ve run for the last few years? You’re clutching.

 

[Thrillthorpe7]

To be fair, he didn't say "any other team's 22", he said "many other teams' 22".

Still a bit of a head-scratcher statement, but not quite as arrogant as saying every other team.

And also tbf to ROB, there’s definitely plenty of players like Murphy on every list getting regular games, we all have to put up with them unfortunately haha.

True but nobody really expected it
