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

[1970crow]

Except that year the Bulldogs won it from 7th.

easier for vic sides as they can get home finals when not earned plus a definite non-travel GF. Chalk and cheese.

 

[1970crow]

We know the onky unforced change will be the sub. Maybe Ned into the 22 and Murph to sub. Otherwise it's injury forced changes. If TT is out, it's Berg in, our club is structure above output, in fact, structure is output. Structure and continuity can get you into the 8, and that's all that matters.

Borlase trained with the A's in match sim yesterday apparently

Borlase trained with the A's in match sim yesterday apparently

Smart move if any doubt on Murray. Murray is so important to us and so is seeing if Borlase can cut it.

 

[NSolis]

Can't really see how you could justify not picking a proper ruck option to support ROB. Himmelberg is not a good AFL footballer but he's not so bad we'd be better off putting someone like Walker in the ruck. He's on the list for a reason and it's to play this role when Thilthorpe can't.

Not sure how good Borlase would be in that role, I suppose he is the main viable alternative. Would much prefer Himmelberg over picking Strachan and having two rucks, though I doubt the club would do that.

firstly, ROB thrives on continuity and huge workload. Secondly, as you say, can't play two rucks that can't play any other position.

I don't believe Himmelberg is even having a good SANFL season. Pity, his best is good. Just not often enough.

Strachan has good marking ability and very mobile. Should we be trying him in sat a key defensive position in the SANFL.

I do get a bit excited every time I see Borlase doing well, I think it's because I want him to be an absolute gun and piss off the campaigners down the road.

 

[NSolis]

He's still going to need time on the bench though, so we have to have a plan for who rucks during those times. I'd definitely rather pick Himmelberg in Thilthorpe's role than have Walker do it.

If it's Borlase that's fine, as he'd be filling Murray's role anyway.

I'd prefer to see EH bsck there, we know what he brings at AFL level up forward, might as well see what he does down back before getting the red pen out.

[croweater 41]

Sholl out according to Channel 7 in Melbourne.

 

[nummy217]

Sholl out good

 

[croweater 41]

McHenry comes into 22 Scholl out.

 

[MrBarry]

Glad sholl is dropped, but we are making the mistake of rotating the same group of 25 players.

We still need to be blooding people

 

[Houston]

Sloane on the interchange. Getting closer.

 

[adelaidecrows]

McHenry comes into 22 Scholl out.

Shows Nicks has learned nothing. How many games does McHenry have to be shit in before we rule him out. Really pathetic selection. Like beyond pathetic.

 

[crows dude]

Ned in
Sholl out

 

[crows dude]

Shows Nicks has learned nothing. How many games does McHenry have to be s**t in before we rule him out. Really pathetic selection. Like beyond pathetic.

Ned’s been good as sub. Deserves to see if he can do it for a whole match.

 

[Scorpus]

I'd laugh if Sholl was the sub.

Don't feel that one unforced change is enough

 

[adelaidecrows]

Ned’s been good as sub. Deserves to see if he can do it for a whole match.

Thats the problem. He has had 5 chances for full games and he fails every time. How many chances does he need. Stupid is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. The North game was the best chance to bring in and blood someone fresh. Not repeat the same mistakes. We are 7 and 7. Thats not golden ticket club type standards.
