Preview Changes: R20 Showdown vs Port Adelaide

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

So are you suggesting anytime a young player comes into a team, plays well and gets another game it proves that the coach has been wrong all year not to play him. That’s just a nonsensical argument.
The position that Nank likely gets fames in - wing and half back, have been pretty strong spots for us this year. Yes you would have Sloane out (at the very least rotating out) but Nicks disagrees with you.
But lots of coaches - most coaches - value having the experienced head in just for those few important things they do per game - moreso than anyone on here

They didn't even pick Nankervis

Parnell pulled out sick

 

[Crow till I die]

Why the anger at selecting Crouch and Sloane? - don't we want to get the best possible draft pick we can at the seasons end?

If Damo was actually smart, he would realise Melbourne hold Freo's 1st this year from the Jackson deal

Ummm that's the point of his sliding doors hence the oops?..

Oh, I read it as this draft is actually that compromised, pick 4 might end up pick 9 or something like that

 

[DJ75]

We should win the ruck at least. ROB needs to have one of his monster games where he runs his opponent tagged.

ROB winning hit outs is not always a good thing. He has a habit of forgetting where we are and picking out the opponents.

IMO he does have the smarts when it comes to footy politics and wheelings and dealings, just not so much the on field game.

 

[DJ75]

I suspect we have had a similar illness run through our camp the last two weeks. Might explain some of the performances.

I've come down with something today that may knock me out from going to the Showdown, so I suspect there's a bit of a bug going around town at the moment.

Not when it's being heavily compromised to favour North.

Last 2 years have had nasty flu-type (parainfluenze, RSV) diseases going around.

I had my flu vax done, so hoping it doesn't hit too hard or is just a basic cold and I'm just being a baby. Did a COVID test to be sure as I have a cough, but that came up negative.

definitely will be": Wow! So True!

 

[Ciao Giacomo]

I'm actually not sure what I am.

I was going to head down Saturday, but if the selectors can't be bothered why should I.

What an embarrassment of a midfield

Can you pm me your ticket? It would be a shame to waste it with the game being a sellout.

I have a mate flying intoAdelaide today and he is desperate to get a ticket and is willing to pay full tote odds.

 

[Southerntakeover]

It's almost like we've seen Crouch play over the last four completed seasons.

 

[Crow till I die]

Translated - we see the crows are minus Rankine, Rachele, their best defender Murray...lets rest a few as we are getting the win

 

[GROTTO]

Thats massive because PIG has been massive for them this year.

 

[BucketsNj]

Absolutely ridiculous.
You can’t see the short sightedness in wasting games on someone?

You’re just assuming I want him in the team. I don’t. Read what I write - don’t fight imaginary battles over things I didn’t say.

 

[BucketsNj]

If it’s time at season end, why isn’t it time for this game?

It is. He shouldn’t be in. You’re just putting words in my mouth so you can attack them.

 

[MRB37]

Crazy to think this is Shane McAdams first Showdown too.

 

[rabidcrow]

Not when it's being heavily compromised to favour North.

Still need our best pick possible. Whether that’s Duursma or Wilson or whoever

Terrible what is being proposed for North though. One thing to help GC who were bleeding quality kids every year - no one has left North (yet) just need time with the kids they have - like every one else does it

No I’m not, I’m pointing out why people are annoyed with his selection.

Posting it’s a knee jerk whingeing is supposed to mean what exactly when you don’t agree with his selection? They were your words.

Genuinely sorry I didn't check bigfooty sooner, just swapped my tickets for a GA so I can fully melt down away from my normal spot.
