Preview Changes & Preview Thread for Round 14, 2023 vs Geelong at Adelaide Oval

[JUSTWORK]

5 day break for those who played in the SANFL probably means we go unchanged.

Sinn and Bonner the two most likely to go out. Burton will come back in, but might have have to wait until after the bye.

Fantasia if he doesn’t get injured again will put pressure on McEntee.

You’d think Narkle will get a chance, probably as the sub at some stage soon if he keeps up his SANFL form

 

[dirty2]

Tough one but do we keep putting games into Bergman if he’s not signed by the end of the month? He’s certainly replaceable.

Wow... So you want us to just push him out then?

We should be professional end of story.

 

[Del165198]

Bergman has been not far off AA form. He could be the difference between us winning a flag and losing another prelim.

If he leaves after we win a flag, who cares?

 

[Matto01]

Bergman stays in. We didn't do it with amon and we aint starting now.

He is most definatly in our best 22. If he leaves his price is only increasing, which would get us back into a first round selection.

 

[Peninsula Boy]

Out - Bonner, Sinn
In - Burton, Narkle

 

[I Dont Care]

Sinn is not quite AFL level yet, Narkle is. Should be a no brainer that Narkle is at least made the sub

 

[Lawnchair Larry]

Jonas is a certainty after today's SANFL.
I dont know who of the back 6 will come out, but it will relieve embarrassment.
Sadly we will not get to see him play against Norwood next weekend in the SANFL.

 

[Chewy316]

Hard pressed to imagine any changes given anyone who played in the SANFL this week would only have a 5 day break. That being said, given the bye the week after that may offset the short interval between games.

I'd bring Burton in for Sinn but that's where it ends. None of Williams, Farrell or Jones deserve to be dropped after last night's performance. Everyone looks settled in their roles too. So a disaster change would be Jonas in for Sinn and then moving Bergman onto the wing.

 

[ibd77]

Very crafty team Geelong is, if we are not sharp we could be in trouble. However start the game in the same manner as the Dogs, then the Cats won't keep up. Expecting a comprehensive win but won't be surprised if we drop one.

 

[Progressive Aggresion]

Is this going to be our first time playing Geelong at AO without Selwood?

No, Selwood never played for us.

 

[Progressive Aggresion]

No, Selwood never played for us.

I meant AGAINST Selwood.

Have we ever played Geelong at AO when he hasn't been in the team?

Certainty is a stretch.

 

[Windy Cindy]

Fanta Pants had a good game today but 10 minutes of AFL will surely bring on total body injury.

He actually moved well today.. best I’ve seen him move in a while.. couple more at sanfl level and he’d be a chance

Just like Josh Carr did. At the end of the day if he wants to go home to Victoria, good on him. As long as we don’t get completely screwed I won’t be overly fussed. In saying this I have an inkling he will re-sign for a couple of years with a decent financial incentive.

 

[HinkleysHeroes]

Bergman has probably been contracted already but we are waiting for our shit game to announce it.

Hopefully.

Good problem to have, paying a young squad to stay together.

Wheres the cap space coming from? Is the big question.

Especo ally when also looking to bring in a KPD and a ruck (you would expect).

 

[Greasyrhys]

I meant AGAINST Selwood.

Have we ever played Geelong at AO when he hasn't been in the team?

No, this will indeed be the first time

 

[HinkleysHeroes]

A chance to get injured

 

[Waspy79]

Worth noting that Cats never win after the bye.

They’ve won their last 3 after the bye

 

[raman]

I meant AGAINST Selwood

Ohhh. Did you?

 

[Powerage]

Give Narkle a chance against his old club, even as a sub. He has earned it.

Geelong have two forwards 6'3" and two over 6'5". Logic dictates Burton comes in but I suspect the melt will be that Jonas does.

Unpopular choice: I wouldn't be against Jonas and Burton coming in. Burton can certainly play wing and it gives us extra defensive versatility.


Out: Bonner and Sinn.

We need to be planning for a defence without Jonas. The one we had going around on Friday without him goes pretty well. Don't think we are changing it until it needs changing.

Jonas is now depth.

 

[WillemDaDrew]

Bergman has probably been contracted already but we are waiting for our s**t game to announce it.

Hopefully.

Or maybe wait & see in August

 

[EskimoPAFC]

They’ve won their last 3 after the bye

Yeah but let's put it in context...

They beat 17th in 2022.
They beat us in 2021.
They beat 13th in 2020.

For a club as successful as they have been they still sit at around a 25% winrate after the bye. There is clearly a trend of underperformance.
