Its cook out and
“Cooked” in..

Man... since tex will probably retire... there's really no reason to play him bar injury...
I think he’s got something to offer the forwards in terms of development but yes probably his last year
I don't agree with that take, particularly with the KPF role.
He will take the best defender every week and it allows the other key forwards room to grow on lesser players.
I'm fine with Tex being in the team till end of season, Sloane can do one though.
I was just making fun.
The only game I wanted to win this year was last week, I wouldn't really care if we lost 85/90% of our games remaining.
We need another top tier pick.
But yeah, Nicks should have been told he needs to prioritse development - now we just fall into the same old quagmire of scraping wins.
Nicks had a free hit in both 2020 and 2021 and for me he was not aggresive enough with selection back then and has dug his own grave.

I Will be hounded down but I’m happy that Jones gets another go. He’s not been great in the first 3 rounds was really showing good signs last year. We need persist sometimes. People in here are sometimes too quick to jump off young players.

We'll have to take care of 2m-Peter to win it: he is the biggest threat to us.
The only new young players introduced into this team is Rachele and Gollant. Jones, McHenry, Rowe, Frampton all very lucky imo. Are we the only club that drafts mids and doesn't play them? Not sure why Berry who was best on ground by a mile last week is not even in the emergencies. The dons will be too quick for our team imo.

Drop Frampton... he should be on the delist pile and play fog as a defender and rotate him fwd... Frampton is not going to make it and is just taking up a spot.

A bigger deal out west.
We'll see if Sloane comes up in the captains run or is a late withdrawal.
Other then that, a side in the middle of a deep rebuild, and has a dearth of leadership is not going to leave out their captain or best key forward.

Theres definetly some really alarming signs coming from Nicks and his team selection. Seems scared to try new stuff now.

So which of our tall forwards should have been dropped? Granted Himmelberg for Thilthorpe was always questionable choice.
Soligo is in his first season. Given a taste.
Pedlar and Cook - questionable drops.
Tex was always going to play when fit - at this point he is our best forward and provides guidance and direction.
If people think Chayce has been poor, you can hardly say Cook was ‘excellent’ against the Pies
Cook played well in that game.
He’s as consistent as Berg so far in their careers, Stringer always plays a blinder against us, massive out
Don't select those young guys if you are only going to give them one game

I thought the policy was open for day games. Weather permitting.

Hope it's a close one because it won't be a show piece.
Stringer is almost all our midfield grunt and goal scoring so him our tips the scales Adelaide's way slightly. That said we have had some good games against you lot over the last few years so here's hoping for another one!

Actually I don't! Had a terrible year and missed a lot of games. Was thinking more to the comeback a few years ago now TBH!I'm sure you remember last years game at Marvel
Hopefully Heppell and Sloan rig a match up and save everyone's eyes.

It took us 17 years to win in Melbourne against Essendon. Even when we tracking ok against your side, we lost in Melbourne.
Nothing is ever guaranteed and especially so with a young side travelling interstate.
