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

[WeeBlake]

Thilthorpe has weird knees. They don’t blow ACLs (touch wood), but they do get injured a lot.

He got tackled awkwardly by I think Johnson early in the game.

If Thilthorpe is out, sadly it has to be Berg in.

 

[weekend at bernies]

if TT misses could we play ROB and Strachan then sub ROB off at 3 qtr time. obviously depending injuries. we should be able to beat Norf. Strachan gets an AFL game and ROB gets an easier week.

I know, but my point still stands

Is this a quote from one of our coaches

 

[crows dude]

True, but we won't get the ride the Bulldogs got from the umpires that year. No non-Victorian team would ever be gifted a run like that.
Keep an eye on St. Kilda. The next time they get close, the VFL will go out of their way to make it happen (unless they play another Vic team).

Unless we are playing Port at Adelaide Oval in a prelim.

 

[Mutineer]

If Murray is out too, we really need a 2nd ruck option. If ROB got injured, who would we run in ruck - Butts who is also sore?

No, if Thilthorpe is out, we need to play Berg as too risky otherwise.

Borlase has rucked in the SANFL on occasions.Himmelberg at both levels and actually Himmelberg's ruck work has been good of late at the lower level.

Get innovative. Give Ormond-Allen Shane McAdam the back up ruck duties...

FWIW Wiki lists Ormond-Allen as 180cm/82kg, McAdam is listed as 183cm/79kg. Both had an impressive leap.

(and because I'm REALLY bored, you might like to know that "SHANE MCADAM ON A ROLL" is an anagram of "AH, ORMOND-ALLEN SCAM"!)

Given our record of ACL's to our ruckman, and tall forwards, and that TT is both, it's real heart in the mouth gear every time he tweaks a knee. You'd almost put m... nah can't finish the sentence.

I think there maybe some soft tissue between the ears

It's more that as other players become exhausted, their top speed drops. This then brings them back into line with Sloanes. At this point, Sloane is a great option because he fights harder than just about anyone. Before that point though, his inability to run with a player is a massive liability.

To me, he seems like a good role for the sub. Could easily be thrown into the middle fresh in the last quarter and have an impact, or go forward and take a couple of marks etc.

And no upside so you’re not messing a kid’s development around.

C7 say Murray scan shows he is ok but I would rest him just in case. Gives an opportunity to try someone else Borlase or Keane.

agreed surely someone needs to debut this week?

Borlase or Keane for Murray
Nank (or play Cook again) for Sholl who MUST go out
I would even personally try Newchurch for Murphy but understand thats not a popular call

Ugh, I'd rather a debutant, Hately or a tray of lasagne playing.

 

[MsTopG]

Out
Thilthorpe inj Murray inj Sholl

In
McAdam Borlase Nankervis

Borlase to backup ruck when ROB needs a break.

 

[119others]

Can’t see us playing at our home ground for a semi final and the grandfinal though if we finish 7th

or have the most ridiculously biased umpiring I have EVER seen - and thats saying something - getting you over the line on the big day. I wanted Bullies to win after Tiprat but was amazed at the blatant cheating on display by the green things

 

[MrBarry]

Just no, I understand the need for structural integrity but we do not need to keep going back and back to this well. Berg is done as an AFL footballer.

Ruck Walker!

We’re done with EH

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Ruck Walker!

We’re done with EH

No, that is just dumb.

We want to extend Tex's career not shorten it.

 

[I Lost My Keays]

Play Borlase!

The guy is 20, 202cm and 105kg. He's bound to have some physical issues.
