The Team!

[kelvin_sheedy]

When was the last time a game was won due to a misleading line up on a Thursday?

 

[keepzitreal]

I reckon this is what we will see


B McVeigh Michael Welsh

HB NLM Fletch McPhee

C Lovett Watson Winderlich

HF Monfries Lucas Davey

F Hird Johns Lloyd

R Hille Stanton Peverill


INT Ryder Dyson Jetta MJ


- Personally Id prefer if Welsh and Pev didnt play but they are veterans and all so I guess we will see what they've got. If they don't perform they better not have a guaranteed spot

 

[Yagabomb]

Is anyone apart from me starting to get p***ed off at not seeing jason laycock line up in the side? Havn't even got into the real stuff and he's already injured

 

[RED AND BLACK SOLDIER]

Bradley and Bolton to miss out....who will be the 3rd though???

 

[RED AND BLACK SOLDIER]

Im more frustrated than p***ed off, because the big fella can't really help it can he?

 

[Big Scottknowsall]

B McVeigh Michael Welsh

Loose - Fletch

HB Dyson NLM McPhee

C Hird Watson Winderlich

HF Monfries Lucas Lovett

F Davey Lloyd

R Hille Stanton Peverill


INT Ryder Slattery Johns MJ



I really want to see Hird up on a wing running amok - I thin the wings play a crucial role these days and don't want to see us go to light on with Winders and say a Lovett - perhaps later in the season.

Slattery and MJ come in if the game gets tight as stoppers, and Johns when it's time to go really agressive...

Fletch loose in defence is the move I want - I don't see Adelaide having the fire power up forward to warrant him being assigned to anyone....NLM can handle himself....

 

[ant555]

I'll go out on a limb here and say Pev, Slattery and Bolton will be omitted.

Whats the status of NLM at the moment ?
Any injury concerns ?

I think you will find that you will fall off that limb if you think Pev will be omitted His form during pre season has been as good as any of the midfielders.

As for how the team lines up i dont expect the on field players to change when they name the final side(altough they will probably line up differently for the first bounce).
I expect Bolton,Dyson and Johns to miss. Bradley has been doing some ruckwork at training this week so i think he may be used as the second ruckman.

 

[Charliebrow16]

I can't see Pev or Johns missing this weekends game.
Dyson and Bolton will be the obvious two to be cut from the list.

Just got the news of Adelaide's Side for Sunday's clash.

B: Graham Johncock, Ben Rutten, Nathan Bassett

HB: Jason Torney, Scott Stevens, Michael Doughty

C: Martin Mattner, Simon Goodwin, Scott Thompson

HF: Andrew McLeod, Nathan Bock, Brent Reilly

F: Scott Welsh, Ian Perrie, Brett Burton

R: Ben Hudson, Tyson Edwards, Nathan van Berlo

Int (from): Jonathon Griffin, Matthew Bode, Robert Shirley, Chris Knights, Richard Douglas, Bernie Vince, Jason Porplyzia

 

[retroparty]

Yeh the teams mucked up a fair bit, but he might be experimenting. He likes to do that. Lucas can play down back as well as forward, and he might do that alot if johns gets more game time.

 

[DaSawx]

They always put them out of place, no way Lucas is playing down back, Watson on the bench ect ect

 

[J.Hetfield]

The three that most likely will be ommitted from the bench are Bolton, Bradley and Dyson.

Leaving a team of: (with adjusted positions.)

FB: Slattery, Michael, Welsh
HB: Johnson, Fletcher, McPhee
C: Winderlich, Stanton, McVeigh
HF: Hird, Lucas, Davey
FF: Monfries, Lloyd, Johns

R: Hille, Watson, Lovett

Int: Lovett - Murray, Ryder, Peverill, Jetta

Im almost inclined to put Mcveigh in the ruck with Jobe as when we gat it we need to use it well and he would do that. Pev gets selected because JJ is out and when Jobe is off having a breather we need an in and under player who can match it with the bigger crows players. The other question mark would be ruck support for Dave with that team Paddy is it, otherwise Keps may sneak into the squad. However as well docunented the crows are weak here atm too..

the crows still have a strong side even with injuries and wil be able to kick goals with teh forward line they have named if their midfeild enjoys dominance..expect McPhee to take Burton and try to make him accountable the other way and attempt to drag him away..Ruuten and Basset will play deep on the two deepest big forwards..Lloyd, johns..perhaps using a smaller, quicker forward marking target at time sto mix it up may be effective. Say Lovett leading out of the square with lucas leading out towards the centre to provide a half back target and Lloyd leading the opposite way as decoy..It may work for half a quarter??

Lovett Murray may be a good optoin for Mcleod when he plays forward as he is qiuck and i would expect hiom to out mark easily..

I could go on but wont..I expect a very good performance by the boys. I would expect (for the Year.) no losses over 4 goals .. But i do expect to win sunday...

[angus6]

i think the 3 that will miss out are bolton, ryder and either dyson/jetta/johns.

i expect bradley to be played as the 2nd ruckman. cant see bolton getting a game but that has been the same for the last 5 years and the last one depends on fitness, wheather etc. i dont think they will play jetta against a experienced and seasoned adelaide line up in round 1. expect him to make his debut against carlton in round 3.

 

[Sam the RAMA fan]

Awesome to see Jets and Davey out there!
Love Jetta.

I agree,
they are placed in weird positions..
I would of thought that Michael would be FB and then Fletch at CHB.
I would of put Lucas at CHF..and Ryder at...

Ah well,
things can change during the game,
and no doubt they guys on the bench will come out firing.

GOOD LUCK GUYS!!!

GO BOMBERS 07!!

 

[adamcf]

i think the 3 that will miss out are bolton, ryder and either dyson/jetta/johns.

Don't hedge ya bets there angus.

bolton bradley johns would be my omissions..

 

[hulld]

some people have to realize that the 18 guys who have been named on the ground are definitely going to be playing.

therefore there is no point in saying that jetta, slats or pev are going to be one of the three omissions.

obviously jobe and gus are going to be playing.
lov-murray is almost a certainty to be playing.

that leaves cj, bolts, dyson and kepler.
bolton and kepler won't play

therefore one of cj and dyson will play. i reckon it will be cj who gets the final spot unless it rains on sunday

Thank you!

 

[go team]

why don't we play the whole squad, and hope we don't get caught?

 

[jules101]

Sheedy must be up to his old tricks with that line-up.

Very strange positions;

Surely you wouldn't start both Davey and Jetta on the ground.

Lucas at CHB?

Watson is surely centre or RR/Rover.

It looks liek he out the names of the players in the squad in a hat and drew out the names. We wont line up anything like that.

 

[BurnleyBomber]

why don't we play the whole squad, and hope we don't get caught?

That would be just as effective as if we went out there with zero players. A blatant attempt to cheat would mean a forfeit of Premiership points.

 

[ant555]

To start with guys the 18 named on the ground have to start on the ground unless one of them doesnt play at all so no point naming what you think will be the side and moving players off the ground and onto the bench.

For what it is worth and it may not be anything , at training today the boys where split into two groups, the named squad for sundays game minus C Johns and the rest of the list ,Bendigo players (Cloke,Skippy,Jolley ,Okeefe) and Johns in the other. they trained in these groups for the whole of training and when they where doing the set up drills for the kick ins and backline clearances it was the sunday squad v the rest with Johns playing in the rest team.
Johns may well still play as all of this could be nothing at all. We may know tommorrow as Bendigo has a practice match at Frankston .

My guess for the playes left out is Johns, Bolton and either NLM or Dyson.

 

[gillyrulz]

Pev,Ryder and Slatts are named on the ground , they will start on the ground or not at all !

 

[hulld]

the 18 named on the ground don't have to start ant. all it means is that they are in the squad of 22.

i'd be surprised if cj wasn't picked. he was very impressive against the eagles.

kepler, bolts and dyson to miss for my liking. i reckon ricky is very stiff to miss out
