Preview Changes: R16 vs North Melbourne, Saturday July 1, 1.15pm ACST @ Adelaide Oval

[Rory Walkerfield]

Far out, we are paying $1.08 for the win. NM paying $7.50

Have they been that crap recently?

I don’t really watch them. Last few games scores are competitive at least.

Only lost by a kick to Essendon and Sydney.

Hi
Up from Melbourne

Would the game be sold out tomorrow?

Would live to go to ao for a match

We haven’t sold out for a long time, however I’ve never just walked up to the gate and bought a ticket. (Wouldn’t even know where to go)
Probably best to buy one online before you go.

Yeah a couple of years

They stay in games but most of the time aren't a realistic chance of winning.

Their side has a lot of weak links outside the midfield and their defense is dreadful

AFC on selection night

It might be worth putting the $7.50 on NM . Thats a bloody good bet in a 2-horse race.

Wouldn't be surprised if we came in flat after a tough game. Lucky it's at home.

Unsurprising changes and we're wasting development time for the second year in a row in the back half of the season. We're 15 games in and Michalanney and Pedlar are the only guys we've given chances too this year while we've increasingly prioritised guys like Sloane in the midfield over developing any single younger players we have.

Be nice to have an opportunity to see if not having Sloane in the side is an issue or can we cope . Prudent list management would have us exploring the idea before we spend money and a list spot we shouldn’t.

 

[WetCrow1991]

I mean Sholl stunk and has been stinking up for a while now, but it just speaks to our blame the youngsters mindset when we drop Sholl, but leave Sloane in.

Really dont see what we would lose playing Schoey and giving Rory a rest for a single bloody game!!!

He may play to well

It would probably be similar to when Doedee got injured and we replaced him with Worrell, we actually look like a better team.

Murphy, Rachele and Soligo all have 2-3 possessions in the 2nd half but Sholl gets dropped.
Getting caught HTB regular isn't helping his cause though

 

[maxlilly]

It'll be interesting to see what happens with Sloane's selection the next week if he stinks it up against Norf

Would hope we are making selection decisions on more than 1 game... but we continue to be conservative in our selection changes, when we could be developing more depth & making players more accountable by increasing our average weekly changes.

So, pretty much unchanged?

Luckily everything will be dandy after an easy win tomorrow and everyones golden tickets renewed for another week.

Get ready for our next honourable loss against the Bombers next week where we will have no choice but to back everyone in because we came so close.

Great to see the coaches back in Murphy after his big 7 disposal game.

non-statistical role, selection integrity, invaluable experience.

 

[1970crow]

Our midfield doesnt get flogged..

I actually believe we won the CB clearances in that Pies game.. and the Pies midfield is elite.

We win plenty of the ball in the centre. No problems there.

But its what we do with that ball when we have laird, keays and sloane in there thats the problem..

And what the lack of pressure applied to oppo when they win the clearance. We largely hack forward whereas they largely run clear forward of the pressure area. But we're not sophisticated enough to include quality in our assessment.

week? Golden tickets are renewed for at least a month after smoking hapless opposition.

sloane has built up some nice continuity credits, let's not put them at risk.

 

[1970crow]

He may play to well

murphy and Sloane have probably re-signed so they need to keep playing and hopefully play one worthy of a 'good news' announcement.

Could have swap Mchenry for him, someone like Nanks or Cook for Sholl and made Murph Sub and we could have blooded someone

No, McHenry needs to stay as a midfielder as he is no forward.

McAdam is the logical Murphy replacement.
