Preview Round 2 - Adelaide v Port Adelaide @ AO Saturday 13/6 @ 7pm

[Jack is Back]

Is hamill definitely ahead of scholl?
Seen hamill picked in a few posters teams.

IMHO, Sholl performed better in the SANFL last year. Hamill looked good in his limited opportunities in the pre-season, particularly the under 23 game against Poort Pear.

Since our KIDS will not have a chance to play in the SANFL this year, I would give most of them a look at AFL to see how they handle it. Strangely the defender that I am most confident about is the Moose.

I would like to see the following players given at least 3 games this year;
Hamill, Sholl, McPherson, Butts, Davis, McHenry, Davis, McAdam, Stengle, McAsey, Shoenberg, O’Connor and Worrall. Clearly this will not be easy.

Who is the Moose?

Who is the Moose?

McPherson I think.

Yep..

I saw the first Moose Match for our Twos in June 2018. Despite his age and barely playing a game at any level in the previous 12 months he just looked totally comfortable. Early in his third match his hammy went ping and he was gone for the year.

Similar story last year, he looked fantastic in round one against Sturt, pinged his hammy in round two. He played 7 straight games through the middle of the season and looked ready to go for the AFL then ping....

If he ever gets his body AFL ready he will play many, many AFL games.

Agree .. and hope he gets over the injuries and can start playing regular games. Having Saunders may be a bonus here

ScoMo should be have a stuck to his plan and closed hairdressers.

I think hairdressers being closed is the reason for this....(waves hands) debacle.

Wayne Henwood?

 

[JPetro83]

Will not get within 7 goals of Port. might get within 30 points if Robbie Gray doesn't play but yeah, no chance.

Hoping Doedee and Crocker plays though

 

[Simmo28]

Only when he played in teams winning championships.

You are overating Port and underating us.

true to form

They annihilated us last Showdown. We’ll take about 14 of that team into this game, plus add Gibbs and 4-5 kids.

They’ll win comfortably

 

[ams4crows]

Reckon Keays or Crocker in for Stengle, and Doedee in for??

Do we get 6 on the bench?? Cos there's gonna be a heap of injuries to start with?

I'm all in favour of rotating the squad and playing the kids this season to finish low and get a good draft pick.... But I still want to beat Port, if we only win one game, it better be this one.

 

[BrissyCrow]

I would think so, and that's why it will never be on Channel 7.

It doesn't effect my enjoyment of the game, but having a game nation wide on 7 in front of a million people, with the hour lead in, the half time feature, the post match coverage would have to have a fairly big dollar value, especially if you get that every other week, as both a selling point to sponsors and potential supporters.

Being up here in Brisbane means very little free to air footy. It also means very little free to air footy discussion programs. Cam anyone tell me why the so called national broadcaster of the AFL (channel 7) doesnt have any discussion programs like Talking Footy or the Front Bar yet channel nine has continued running Footy Classified. Just strikes me as strange.

And we won by 4 goals before that.

But at the moment I think that is fair.

Both are available on 7plus here in ADL - is it not the same where you are?

Oh wait, you mean currently?

Nah Port are s**t. Talia will smash Dixon as usual. Look forward to see a McAsey and Georgiades match up. Browny and Kelly are defensively up to stopping Rozee and Gray.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

The proposed 6 man bench probably suits us as can play a 2nd ruckman/forward & get more games into kids.

 

[Tex Milera]

She's terrible.

Nicholls will give us even less chance of winning, I'm all for it.

Eleni might need to be wary of Powell-Pepper’s wandering slippery fingers when close in....

Possible side...

B: Brown, Talia, Doedee
HB: Milera, McAsey, Laird
C: Seedsman, Mrouch, Jones
HF: Lynch, Walker, McHenry
F: McAdam, Fogarty, Sloane
I: O'Brien, Brouch, Smith
I: Sholl, Shoenberg, Atkins, Davis, Murphy, Frampton

 

[Scorpus]

Provided everyone is available, fairly straightforward changes

Out: Stengle (suspension), Kelly, Gibbs, Frampton
In: Doedee, Hamill, McHenry, Crocker/McAdam

If we have six on the bench, I'd add Schoenberg to the mix and probably keep Frampton for limited ruck minutes only


B Brown - Talia - Doedee
HB Milera - McAsey - Laird
C Seedsman - Smith - Sloane
HF Lynch - Walker - McHenry
F Crocker - Fogarty - Murphy
R O'Brien - M. Crouch - Jones

I B. Crouch - Atkins - Davis - Hamill
I Schoenberg - Frampton

Looks a good mix on paper.

I mean for the past month or so. I went to seven plus and they have stopped the program's after only two episodes. Just find it wierd that the AFL partner has stopped the talk back programs yet nine has continued with them.
