how HT gets dropped is beyond me.

Eg for me: HT, Pris, Gamble
 
How unlucky are Taylor and Prismall!:(


The Adelaide team is:

B: Johncock, Rutten, Bassett
HB: van Berlo, Bock, Doughty

HF: Burton, Goodwin, Vince
F: Porplyzia, Tippett, Gill
R: Maric, Edwards, Shirley

Emerg: Griffin, Mackay, Jericho

Out : McLeod (knee), Jericho.
In : Symes, Massie
 
Emergencies aren't listed however I assume it would be Priss, Taylor and Wojak (?).

Can't believe both Taylor and Prismall have been dropped, both are so unlucky. Our team is just too damn good. lol

Wojak is playing, our team is too good, lets not jinx it:)

Prismall is incredibly unlucky. has to leave at the end of the year now as just not getting a go. been listed in the best players in two out of last three games and now dropped. hope he does well on sunday.
 
Would have thought Varcoe was a dead certainity to be dropped before Prismall and Taylor.:thumbsd:

I thought overall Varcoe was better than prissa last week. It was a toss of the coin between the two to be dropped.
 
Have a look at my post early this morning ...Nominated both changes...Both very unlucky but they will both bounce back...Egans cast to come of in about 3 weeks....They will fight to keep Pris dont worry

On a positive note, this highlights the depth of our team. While players like Prismall and Taylor are very unlucky to be dropped, its still a good postion to be in with players of that calibre waiting behind the scenes.
 
How true you are the players waiting in the reserves would walk into most other sides....Hard on these guys waiting for thier chance...But what a problem to have.
 
Think Lonergan was the lucky one. Taylor very settled down back, Pris deserves the time in the side. Liked the role rooke had as lead up half forward. Thought that could leave Lonergan in danger, with Mooney close to goal. Oh well, as long as the Catters smash them.
 
Taylor is the one who is incredibly stiff, and for the second time this year.

I hope the kid is strong, because it must be tough to be dropped twice when you don't deserve it.

A definite test of character.

I would be worried about Pris, after his dropping this week I cannot see him at the club next year, Taylor would hopefully understand how hes young and we hardly ever play first year players the entire year (excluding future legends in selwood). bartel, ablett all of our premium players didnt play a full first season, not neccasarily because they werent playing well, but just for team balance and structure.

i would have thought stokes comes in for varcoe as they both similar small forward types who can go into the middle, where as prismall is your full time middle man
 
Thought this would happen. Were well overdue for a stupid selection/omission. Taylor out? ####ing ridiculous!

Was told that the reason Taylor was left out is because Adelaide arnt as tall up forward ....Harry at 6.3...Scarlett more mobile running back at this stage...Pris just so damn unlucky hard at the ball thats why he was given the champ Bhudddddaaaassss number they will both bounce back and both be at the best club in Australia next year....
 
Taylor obviously dropped based on matchups. How anyone fails to see this I don't know.

Taylor is versatile enough. He has been in pretty much as a replacement for Eagan this year. Would we have ever dreamed of dropping Eagan 'based on match ups'?
 
Well there are three things that goes against Taylor. One - he is an out and out back man, not seen a versatile player who can play in many positions. Two - he is a first year player, and although a mature recruit, needs more rest than more established players. Three, the contested close checking style of Adelaide may expose him, especially as they aren't especially tall
 
I agree with the decision to play Varcoe over Prismall. Prismall has too many players similar to him eg. Corey, Bartel, Enright, Ablett, Chapman, Selwood, and the role he plays. Varcoe on the other hand is in the side because of the amazing defensive pressure he applies in our forward 50. His tackling, chasing etc. has been superb so far this season and Bomber loves it.

Harry Taylor = stiff. But who else do you drop.

Also Gamble is not far away. Was outstanding last week in the vfl. Is one of the best marks for his size I've seen for a while.
 
seriously guys, if you're gonna bring back Scarlett, one of the best full backs, you're gonna have to drop another key back. i dont see why its so ridiculous to drop a first year player.
we've already got harley, milburn and mackie who can play tall.
