Preview Round 18 Adelaide vs Richmond, Adelaide Oval, 4.40pm Adelaide time

[fargothegreat]

Interesting that they're considering Ben Miller for debut ...

Lynch is only out for one game so they may not be too keen to move the structure away from two rucks/two forwards for just the one week.

I wonder if they are just saying to Big Ben 'we love you mate, you're valuable to us'. But they won't select him, Marbior is way ahead. But planning for break glass in case of emergency.

Mabior definitely ahead and Dimma said he'll definitely play.

From what Dimma was saying they're considering playing both.

Ummm, why?

Or is this a good bye present to Big Ben Miller?

I reckon Dimmas just flexing - showcasing our depth

Yep, I reckon Caddy will play and one of Aarts or Markov will go. Massive game for a lot of players with Lynch, Prestia and Bolton to come back Ross, Graham, Pickett, Caddy, Chol and whoever plays of Aarts or Markov will need to play epic to hold their spots. I cant see us dropping George or Rioli now.

The only reason I can think of is to retain structure given Lynch will be back for the first final.

We've played two rucks and two key forwards all year. Might not want to change for one game.

 

[Charlie Pannam]

Big outs - Bolton and Lynch in particular.
Great to see Shedda back, one of my all time favs.
Miller would be left field

don't think he is a winger

 

[mad_tiggy911]

Why are people suggesting RCD should come in? You can't be serious.

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

Nanks availability in finals is crucial.
To be honest I'd bring Miller in and rest Nank.
It's not as if the Crows will be playing to win.
Miller & ChoI we should still win.

 

[db26]

Miller has really improved this year even without vfl been injury free to.Been playing key back and forward , but from reports been doing ruck work this week.

 

[sante]

Do we give RCD a shot and drop Ross? Or too many changes already?

You going m8?

 

[rfctigerarmy]

I wonder if they're considering Astbury up forward - I think we already have the Crows forward line covered with a surplus of defenders. Good time to test him out as a second tall forward in case Lynch doesn't get up for the first final.

He was actually drafted as a forward and can take a clunk

I'd like to see him play forward, too.

Against Collingwood in the Prelim where we were getting flogged, he went forward and provided an option for sure.

Has always been a good forward.

 

[mauricerioli]

No way should we drop Ross for RCD after his performance against Geelong.

Fair enough drop him for Edwards, but how would they explain to Ross after playing very well against one of the best teams in the league that they're dropping him for a first gamer.

Number 1 or number 2 not going to be much difference in the scheme of things , I can’t see a new coach wanting his team to lose because of that .

 

[Wallaby]

I'm overly worried. Won't relax until the final siren. Stranger things and all that .......................

 

[k31th]

...

did you forget to set your "location" to Sydney and your "team" to Richmond?

 

[HTT]

Miller to come in and kick 6, force us to play him in finals.

And by October 24, 6 goals will be considered a below average game from him

 

[G String]

It feels like he would be a good forward - he has all the tools except maybe a bit of leg speed.

I'll have to take your word for the Collingwood game - I didn't watch after half time - I decided to get magotted instead :/
