Frampton is there to chop out for obrien in the ruck which is why he gets the nod i'd think

2 of them bizarrely not even named in the 2s

Fogarty. Would it really be 'gifting' him a game to wrap your arms around him, let him know you think he'll make it, by selecting him for round 1?
On the back of a summer where he has got himself fit, why not give him first crack? They have created an air of negativity around him now.
There will be people who will say the players are more mature than that and it's all outside noise, I disagree. It's real.
He's starting behind the 8 ball now, when he does come into the team every little thing he does will be scrutinised. He's not being set up to fail but they are making it harder for him when they should be making it easier.
We won the spoon last year, in these circumstances, would we really be criticised for backing in a young player like Fogarty?

Jones confidence is shot, Thilthrope is being managed this season but I would have played Fogarty.

Compared to, say, getting a few more games out of Tom Lynch's twilight?

DMac should be injury sub a lot, perfect for it (based on age and status on our list- know he can come in and play a role, relatively versatile and not wasting development)
I probably should know this but, who is on the match committee? Is it 100% the coaching panel?
Are there people outside the coaching panel who select the team?

Lynch, Walker and Frampton...on the positive, we are in the hunt for Horne.
Lynch is cream on top type of player, when all things are working, he is great to have, as in 2015-2017, he was handy, for the last 3 years...
As for Frampton though, what the hell would you not reward Himmlers back half of the season?

Reckon we'll be pretty conservative this year. Nicks had a bit of leeway last year being a first year coach, the rebuild message, and covid distractions.
This year he can't afford to go to round 15 without a win or he'll probably be out.
So I expect we'll probably tread the well worn path of experience hopefully = wins. Which would show how much he has learned about his players if it pans out that way.
If he goes that route it won't do him or us any favours. The results will be predictable.
Sun cream?
Deaneus!

C’mon Geoffa on the same page?
the unbackable bit I believe
Maybe Frampton also in the team because he crashes packs and looks the most likely tall forward in the side capable of taking contested marks,
Note the Crows seemed to have picked a few small forwards, in and under type small forwards, So they need Talls that will crash the pack and bring the ball down, Previous years all we have had leading tall forwards.

When did he start taking contested marks??
This is a very ordinary selection for the opening round of a season, some rewarded for pre-season some forgiven some don't even have to show anything.

He's there to justify the contract some fool gave him. Clear and simple. Make bad decisions. Protect bad decisions. It's the Adelaide way.
Why bother watching if you can't find anything good in that team.
It's like if you had a munted child. You still support them and hope for the best.
Lynch has been utter trash for 2.5 of those 3 seasons.

The best contested marks are sitting in the SANFL. A smart strategy to dominate the local comp.
It really is mental that the bottom team can only field 1 first round draft pick from the last 4 years to kick off a new season.
And McHenry really.
Is this coaches/selectors being s**t or Hamish being s**t?

Who are the selectors?
Oh, I didn't realise you had to do that.
I've got to find the key to the cupboard now, probably need a mask too
Coaches and Roo innit?
Haha took a few reads to get that
