This is a danger game. I’m glad we play them over here.

It's been a mixed bag against the Crows - Head to Head Between Carlton and Adelaide - FinalSiren.com
But we are a better team, with more and better match winners.
Lock in the win.
Gov.....has been under injury cloud entire career
that much ability has its price and the medics have not managed him well it would appear
plow plays within himself while Gov plays over the top
two very different players

I agree.
That doesn’t make the game any less dangerous. I’m still looking for that killer instinct.

Hold on. Beating Richmond and bulldogs is meaningless when we do it but when Adelaide do it, it's good form?

Hard to know what to really take away from last week apart from the 4 points. A competent team would've smashed Norf by 80+. That said, we're 5-2 and I'm happy to see the boys build upon that. We'll need to come with a couple of ruck rotations as RO will run TDK into the ground pretty quickly.
Only a couple of changes.
B: Plowman, Young, Newman
HB: Williams, Weitering, Saad
C: Walsh, Cripps, Carroll
HF: Hewett, C.Curnow, Martin
F: Silvagni, McKay, Owies
R: De Koning, Kennedy, Cerra
IC: Durdin, Fisher, Newnes, Docherty
Sub: Cottrell
Out: Stocker (inj), O'Brien
In: Williams, Hewett

CARROLL STAYS IN no matter what !!!
Hewett an auto pick and Williams ( Stocker) too if fit so looking like Newnes the unlucky one?
Dow is knocking the door down also, maybe Durdin, been quiet for a couple now and could possibly do with run in the VFL
and we re jig things a little up front and on ball. Love to see it.
Paddy could come straight in and have as much or even more influence/impact than Carroll IMO.

I reckon it's clear Carroll stays in. He could have kicked a few more goals too!
And no certainty either Hewett or Williams will be right?
Achilles issues are seldom short term....George has a calf right?
But otherwise, Williams for Stocker is obvious, otherwise Willo for Stocker might be the only change.

Dow and Durdin are completely different players.
Dow and Carroll too for that matter.
No spot for Dow unless he replaces Newnes or LOB imo - and that is likely an unnecessary change.
For the moment, our midfield looks pretty well balanced, sorry Paddy.

Reckon TDK will go well against O'Brien.
Presuming he's not injured/hampered, he'll jump all over him.

Sort of agree as we’re still trying to nail the game plan.North are up and down from week to week and probably should’ve beaten the swans.
5-8 is our range 12-14 wins.
BTW Don’t see Lob being dropped.

We'll be 6 from 8 after next week....
We can very readily do better than 8 from the next 14 - which is barely going at 50%.
(and as you say, we are very much still a WIP)
Ten from the next 14 gets us very close to top 4.
15-16 wins all but guarantees top 4.
We are still a 11-13 wins side, but we have started better than I expected after 7 rounds

Stocker / Cotts --> Williams / Hewett makes complete sense

Just wondering if you could list the games that aren't "danger games"? Are they called that because we are supposed to win? Us? Drives me quite batty.

I really want us to be 9-5, or at worst 8-6, after Rd 15. Apart from a couple of games that should be 'easy wins' (not that we really do 'easy wins' yet), our last 8 games will test us. Sad we don't play Lions or Dees sooner to really test us...

If we’re dropping LOB after last night then we might as well delist him now. Much prefer the 15 possessions he gets on a wing then the 22 that Newnes gets. Also Newnes is not the future of this club.
As others have said - Stock / Cotts out with Newnes to play sub. Williams and Hewett straight in.
If Lewy gets a week - which is likely given the MRO, I would strongly consider playing Kemp. Looked at home down back in the VFL in the half he played before he was shipped to the AFL on standby.

That was a fair assessment before the season started, not now.
That presumes there are 7 -10 teams better than us - not so.
And we will only get better...
It seems, internally, the club believes they will be a much better outfit towards the end of the year than they are now, judging by comments made.
As frustrating as it was with our last quarter last night, despite the dominance, we still have so much maturity to go. The players should have changed it up going inside 50 to get through the extra defenders they set up. The effort was there but the maturity to think through it will take a while.

totally agree on team maturity aspect. as much as i was happy with that win we can still see there is a bit more to learn. getting into top 8 this year will be a huge step and we are well on track to achieve this. we should develop nicely from here on in. voss is saying all the right things.
no doubt voss knows what is needed based on what he says and i think club-wide they seem to be doing things with good thought.
Apart from North and WC if we were playing them now, there are no easy wins
Stated at the start of the year that whatever we push out 1st half of the year, we should at a minimum match
While I have us at the higher end of 11-13 wins, we still have to play some better sides
