Preview Changes: R4 vs Fremantle, Saturday April 8, 1.15pm ACST @ Adelaide Oval

[Its not the coach]

Weekly reminder Hinge is shite and looks good when the going is good but is badly exposed when the going is otherwise.

Hahaha Ah what ever ya reckon, No defence looks good when exposed Sherlock. Looked good when the game was up for grabs this week. Good player

 

[MsTopG]

Hi folks, I come in peace.
Is Rachele injured? Asking from a keeper league POV.
Cheers.

Cramps I believe. Will find out in the weekly injury report if it's more than that.

 

[Anzacpaul]

Crouch for Pedlar?

30 disposals 11/19 is still lopsided

No thanks. Crouch is done at AFL level.

 

[Its not the coach]

Post match with TT and Rankine one of them said Tex was injured early in the game, but pushed on
If so, he's a likely out.

Injury would be the only reason he'd be out, Still very important to the team

 

[robboaustralia]

Didn't show anything in SANFL really, can't be rewarding that over a few guys who dominated.

Murphy got in without doing anything special (has done some nice things once in) so I say give him a crack.

What I think will happen:

Ins: Crouch, McHenry

Outs: Pedlar (Susp), Berry (Injury)

What I hope will happen:

Ins: Newchurch, Schoenberg, Keane

Outs: Pedlar, Berry, Butts

Surely this is the time to give Newchurch a run. Has had 3 AFL preseasons now, has kicked 11 goals from his last 6 SANFL starts. Let him play off of Tex.

 

[Danger in Texas]

Right now I’m guessing:

In: Schoenberg, Jones
Out: Pedlar (susp), Berry (inj/rest)
Sub: McHenry

Wouldn’t be against these changes, considering Taylor didn’t seem to tear it up in the twos last week

If if were up to me, I’d put Parnell in for Smith too, but that isn’t happening yet

 

[George Kramer]

Surprised Tex hasn't been mentioned more. He looks both mentally and physically shot atm.

Pity Fog is injured, perfect time for a couple of weeks rest otherwise

 

[Pugsley]

My god that's pathetic

Take it to your own boards. This isn't your playground.

 

[VictorianCrow85]

Murphy got in without doing anything special (has done some nice things once in) so I say give him a crack.

Murphy for better or worse has a proven track record, also has the bonus of 75 games of experience, something we lack. Taylor looked a long way off the pace on Saturdays match. I'm keen to get a look at him but he simply wasn't anywhere near the level on the weekend.

 

[Betts are off]

I actually think this is the perfect week to give Tariek his taste at AFL level. Pedlar and McAdam suspended and both back next week. Gives him a reason for selection as well as a reason to go back down that won't shatter his confidence.

Plus he's in form and can create a serious match up problem for the taller, slower Freo defenders.

 

[DJ75]

The changes I'm looking for this week:

OUT:
Pedlar (susp)
Berry (inj)
Walker (inj)
Butts (inj)

IN:
Schoenberg
Jones
Fog
Keane

We then need a sub. I suspect we will go with someone like McHenry.

Taylor was tagged!

Yep, but we will go with McHenry.

Murphy has a very solid fitness base after plenty of full on preseasons...the other bloke doesn't at this time.

Not a terrible idea that's for sure. Swap him for Pedlar.
Jones in for Berry?
Schoenberg sub?

This.

Taylor needs to be played to his strengths.. and thats as an inside mid on the ball starting in at the CB’s..

But for some reason they gave him very few opportunities on the weekend prefering crouch, brown and Hately more instead..

Three lads that really shouldnt be on the list next season.

I'd be fairly confident that's down to Taylor's fitness levels/Burgess and likely his recovery levels at this point.

It was no secret he returned to preseason not in the nick expected and unlike the other interstate lads did not return early and attend the training sessions they organised amongst themselves.
Pretty sure it was mentioned he drove overnight to get to the first preseason session and failed to finish the time trial that day?

I don't disagree but even when he was on ball he struggled to get a hold of it. Personally I'd be moving Brown out of there, Crouch & Hately still more likely to be required to come up the level if injuries occur. Taylor should be getting plenty of time in there though perhaps they are worried about his loads still? I dare say Burgess knows a fair bit more about what he's capable of at this point in time than any of us.

 

[WaynesWorld19]

He'd be close, but only had 1 kick in the first 3 quarters last week.

Taylor, clearly not ready ... highly talented, body & fitness, along with consistency, not there yet .....doing it in spurts ATM

Hopefully follow the Pedlar path, maybe a bit of struggle early but get things right over this year, ready to come up the level and have immediate impact as a 3rd year player?

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Yep, but we will go with McHenry.

Nope ....I will be surprised if Newchurch gets a game this year

Talent is important, you can't teach that .....but it's the work / effort to improve, that defines if a player will realise that talent

Won't surprise if Taylor gets a couple of games in the latter half of the season .....IMO the club would be keen to give him a taste
