Preview Round 18 2023 – Adelaide Crows vs GWS Giants, Saturday July 15, 7.40pm AEST, Adelaide Oval

[Gigantic]

Gosh, that's a huge loss for a crucial part of the run home.

 

[Colonial]

Of course, injury’s. Bloody hell.

 

[Land of the Giants]

3 weeks out ... Wehr in.

Wehr Returns as Green Ruled Out of Crows Clash

South Australian Jacob Wehr will return to take on the Crows on Saturday night.

The GIANTS have made a forced change for their clash with the Crows in Adelaide on Saturday, with star midfielder Tom Green ruled out with a hamstring injury.

The tough inside midfielder was sent for scans late on Thursday evening after feeling tightness in his hamstring at main training, with those scans revealing a low-grade strain. Green, who is averaging 31.1 disposals a game in a career-best year, is expected to be sidelined for three weeks.

Nothing we can do about it.

It's an opportunity for some else to step up.

With a bit of luck Green will be back for the derby.

 

[Ichabod Noodle]

so Keefe, XO, Green & [Haynes - sub] out

Angwin, Daniels, Wehr in

not exactly like for like on any of them

 

[Giant Strides]

I presume that Cogs, Perryman, Kelly, Ward & Callaghan will cycle through the inside roles, with Wehr & Angwin running the wings pretty much 100%.

The 22-year-old’s withdrawal opens the door for promising wingman and local South Australian Jacob Wehr, who returns to the side to face the Crows following impressive form in the VFL. Conor Stone has also been added to the emergencies list

That’s a blow for our chances not just in this game, but our games coming up where Tom will be absent. Jacob is good, but he certainly is no Tom Green. The market also has responded with us now blowing out to $3.30 for the Adelaide match.

that is my take also

 

[Giant Pete]

Hearing a report that Adam Kingsley confirmed this morning at the press conference that Tom Green is out for tomorrow's game with a hamstring injury.

Kelly will play more inside with Wehr coming in. Should be sweet.

 

[MelbourneGWS]

If we somehow manage to beat Adelaide, this will be our equal second winning streak in our entire history. Beat Gold Coast after that in our next game which is at our Manuka home ground (which if we beat Adelaide in Adelaide is certainly doable), and we will equal the most consecutive wins in our entire history. Of course, we need to win this weekend to creat (Giant) history!

Gosh, that's a huge loss for a crucial part of the run home.

This is why it would have been good to keep Taranto. Hopefully Cal Ward can really step up this game, but I would prefer to have Green in.
We are probably only missing him from our best 12 or so players, so this team is still strong and about as good as you are going to get in terms of injuries.

 

[Giant Pete]

Why is Stone listed on field? I thought he was an emergency..

 

[Giant Strides]

Why is Stone listed on field? I thought he was an emergency..

I presume it's an error.

 

[Adam Giant]

Not going to be easy with Tom and Xavier out but confident the boys will still put in a strong performance.
