Well I am p----d with bloody McKernan still in and no room for Lynch .
This Lynch thing is a real disgrace do we go from 1 pig headed coach to another.
Or maybe listening to someone like Bickley too much
Plus we can all get excited about Lyons in but will be left out of 22 .
If it is dry, I would play Mckernan... Renouf is the worlds biggest spub... We need to take full advantage... I can not believe Redden isnt on the extended bench... Also surprised Megahead isnt back
Fail to see what Otten did to earn a recall.
Ok Palladin I know the basic logic that Lynch got dropped on but dont agree .Lynch is not a ruckman. Sando wants Tipp to play Forward all game so its Smack or Jenkins. Cant have Walker, Porps, Tippett and a second ruck AND Lynch thats why he is out.
I think Shaun needs a few games in a row. Hope he gets them.
Paladin's right - Lynch is fighting with Tippett, Walker and the 2nd ruckman for a spot in the team - not those other guys.Ok Palladin I know the basic logic that Lynch got dropped on but dont agree .
Lynch did a lot better than a lot of players in squad with limited opportunity that he had as a sub .
You seriously trying to tell me he has performed worse than Petrenko -- Wright -- and not saying should drop them -- Porps an MacKay and least he knows how to get a goal and out of nothing.
Has he played any footy in defence for us this season? Did the Saints let him go in the same season they lost Dawson?But then he can play defence where we have Otten -- Doughty -- Jaensch --Martin etc etc not setting world on fire in squad.
He's been on the list for several years but I still don't know what to make of McKernan.Seriously those that keep believing that McKernan is going to be a top player for us must be looking forward to sitting on Santas knee at Christmas
Would love to see Lyons, but with Callinan named on the ground, changes look like being Stiffy and Callinan for Smack and Bernie. Only way Lyons comes in is if Pets doesn't come up I reckon. I hope he isn't because he deserves to start, but I reckon Hendo will be sub again.
Hendo played last week.... and I really can't see Mckernan playing. We also don't lose much with the Vince for Callinan selection (Sloaney, VB, Danger, Smith and the Porpoise), although it would help if Dougy was fit. There really isn't anyone else besides Lyons in those ins who fits the Vince role, and Callinan is named on the field so he will play.Callinan is a forward / relief midfielder .......no way will they replace Vince with Callinan IMO
Smack IMO will Play for reasons i have already outlined plus he's option "B" if Butcher & Stewart both play forward becomes a problem and playing as a forward probably keeps Trengove out on the ground as the
Unfortunately since he played ok but Martin out for Johncock
Henderson in for Jaensch
So for what it's worth
OUT: Jeansch, Martin & Otten
Not only confused by WW regarding Lynch one minute a tall cant have too many talls up forward then need McKernan to play in defence to combat tallsLynch to replace Wright, Porps or Mackay ....
If the club was going to not continue the ruck experiment by going with McKernan ......then Lynch would have been named.
Lynch played last season in VFL mainly as a defender and would have played well enough for us to trade for him.
That said can't see Lynch taking Shaw's spot BUT could see Otten becoming the "Darling" of the Adelaide forward line
Clubs are playing taller .......we saw Hawthorn struggle with a small defense against West Coast,
McKernan can play back & Forward easily ....now that's potential the club has to be patient with
Port have Butcher, Shultz, Trengove, Stewart as tallsHendo played last week.... and I really can't see Mckernan playing.

Likely bench: Hendo, Martin, Pets/Lyons, Jaensch/Mckernan
What is Jenkins form like with Sturt?

indicating that Lynch would not be able to do.
A player coming into a team is not always a direct replacement of whom is being dropped.
And I would not drop Porps but actually they are both play the same type of game even though different in size

Yes I do understand but feel we are all clutching at straws if think McKernan is going to perform in pressure showdown game.Sorry if i haven't explained it ......yes Lynch can play the forward & Defense roles ....but he can't play the 2nd ruck role to have Tippett as full time FF
That's the main variance in strategy
Ross Lying wouldn't have permitted any of our players under 25 to get a game.
