No real surprses. Gollant had a real crack at it last season and didn't really nail it. Seems like he has come on a bit. Has to really make a statement while Fogarty's and McAdam's out gives him an opportunity .

 

[thebirdman 24]

So we are done with Himmelberg now right?

Shoenberg deserved a dropping. I still have hopes for him but he needs to get confidence and stop bloody fumbling the ball.

[Betts are off]

You ******* idiot! How could you be so wrong and so close to when the teams were released!

I thought it was a bold strategy

 

[Scorpus]

I thought it was a bold strategy

You gotta be in it to win it

 

[jackster83]

The extra defender in should mean we push Dawson up the field right?

 

[Betts are off]

Looking forward to seeing a forward line with Thilthorpe, Gollant and Tex.

 

[George Kramer]

IN: Gollant, Butts, Thilthorpe, Milera

OUT: Fogarty (knee), Parnell (concussion), Himmelberg, Schoenberg (omitted)

Emergencies (for sub): Hamill, Himmelberg, Jones, McHenry

Not that I’m unhappy with the selection but you’ve got to question how the coaches can now justify playing Thilthorpe over EH. Early injury to Parnell, EH thrown back for the first time ever, gets replaced by RT in his position who didn’t do a lot.

Throw in Butts coming back in after one game basically acknowledging we were short in defence last week.

Selectors really have been all over the place the last year.

Hopefully Sloane can run out the game and glad to see Sholl retain his spot.

Saw this last night, Tex was lining up for a gettable goal, Rachele led to the pocket and when he was ignored he jumped up and down like a bit of an idiot.

If Tex was on a s**t angle and miles out, fair enough, but Racheles would have been the harder shot so Tex should have ignored him and having someone carry on like that would have been distracting lining up.

I can understand Rachele being super eager and hungry but there’s also commonsense that’s required. If I was Tex I would have set him straight too.

There was no heated scuffle, unless you call Tex patting him on the back at the end. * the media can be w***ers.

Just being told love your enthusiasm, but don’t get ahead of yourself, pretty standard

Yeah right

 

[CrowToon]

Glad Himmelberg goes and Butts comes back.

Good to see Gollant get another go.

Weird that Port drop a couple looking for form - if there is a side who consistently plays spuds into form its us.

 

[Milo Cyrus]

Named Sloane on ball...Just taking the piss now.

Feels like Georgiades gets dropped every 2 weeks for them.

 

[MsTopG]

They seem to keep naming Sloane in the middle and not playing him there. I hope this trend continues.

Because Berg is awful and TT has the potential to be an elite talent?

IMO, Sloane, Smith, Hinge, Milera, Butts most under the pump to perform this week.

Experience is never under the pump at Adelaide so you can remove the first 2 names from the list probably lol.

Agree. Himmelberg actually looked OK down back but it wasn't his fault he got sent back there unexpectedly. I like TT but he's done nothing to warrant selection at the moment

 

[Bearded Clam]

Gee… didnt take long for Jordan Butts to go back and find some form and fitness and make his way back into the team!…

What a laughable decision that “lets just go with one KPD against the tigers” was.. just quietly reversed it this week..

And fxxkn god only knows what Milera has done to earn his golden ticket..

He was shit in round 1, shit in the freo trial, shit in the inter club trial.. was injured last week.. and just waltzes back on into the 22 for R3…

He’s the new Mookay…

The berg brothers out is a good decision.. but its strange they have dropped a midfielder and not promoted another to replace him..

Still, i’m sort of glad cause if they did I reacon the morons wouldve picked that total spud Brown.

 

[bigman]

Very surprised that Hamil is an emergency

He has been struggling in recent weeks

 

[George Kramer]

You’d think Jones is sub

 

[Bearded Clam]

Yet the powa supporters think west coast of freo are gonna give up the world to grab him at seasons end!..

Lads barely worth a second rounder at this point..

 

[George Kramer]

6.07pm, where’s BACCS

 

[Bay62]

This must be like the 3rd year straight where Himmers had started the season as best 22 on the back of a strong preseason, only to be dropped after 2-3 games.

The writing is well and truly in the wall for him now

Frankly there is so much writing you can’t even see the wall anymore

I know our options are limited but I can’t see him making it. Just a hunch I guess..
