Surely not. He is a lock starting 22 and got suspended for a hard and fair hit that we beg from our players. Has to come straight back in. But I don't know who for.

No obvious player to replace?..
I can think of three straight away.
Ned, murphy and keays.
Mcadamās more damaging with ball in hand than all 3 of them.
And thereās no SANFL games this weekend.. so if they dont play mcadam thatāll be four weeks of football he misses..
So 106 kg McKay tries to bump 80kg Sheezel, hits him after he has disposed of the ball, with his forearm, to the head.
No potential for injury!
Case dismissed!
āWe havenāt seen many of these five-day breaks so itās an interesting experiment for us,ā he said.
āWeāve got a number of players for different reasons that are now available that are fresher than those on the weekend.
āMcAdam is available for selection, so too is Pedlar (following suspension). Sam Berry was part of our management program (and is available).
āWeāll sit down in match committee and go through all of that.ā
I think
McAdam in for Gollant
Pedlar in for Murphy
Berry goes to the sub for Schoenberg
Fog still not right. Give him the extra 10 day break.

Agree except Fog plays
Fog in for Gollant (extremely unlucky)
Pedlar in for Murphy (extremely unlucky)
Pedlar in for Mchenry (unlucky)
Berry goes to the sub for Schoenberg

Killing with a smile
Did you see them get on the Geelong bandwagon in the third quarter yesterday?
Was something like 10-0 free kicks Geelong's way in the quarter.
Not sure, surely the AFL don't want to start Gather round off with a horribly bias match against the state hosting most popular team?? Why would their fans want to go to other games if you screw them all over night 1
This should happen. Or someone if not Keays. No Docherty, so he's the main distributor and rebounder especially as Newman's going to have his hands full with Rankine. If we can successfully clamp him it'll completely kill their transition game.
Very big chance we get that little maggot that thinks he's a tough man and wants to be on camera every 30 seconds.
So yeh.
Yep Iāve got a feeling Fog doesnāt come up ā¦ and gets an extra 10 days to recover if he misses this week
Medials are normally 4-6 wks or the player doesnāt have full movement back
Of course he's challenging. It's all a bit of a sideshow - AFL wants to look tough on head high contact but make sure certain cases are downgraded on appeal. As a 'big name', no surer thing than he gets off.
Definitely going Keays on Saad if we can manufacture it
Need someone to sacrifice their game to slow down Saadās bounce off half back and Keays is the one to do it
Bonus if he kicks 3 like last time but not even essential
They won't be.
Hearing Nicks unhappy about aspects of the weekend's game will keep them grounded.

Got a hunch it might be
Ins Pedlar McAdam
Outs Mchenry Gollant
Fog not ready , plays against hawks close to fully fit by then
Ned or Berry sub ā¦. Schoenberg puts feet up this weekend with no sanfl
The other question mark is Butts but hope he comes up , especially if McKay gets off

He did at Docklands when Curnow kicked 6 from memory. I was referring to that.
Sorry to be confusing.

I reckon that's harsh on Murph. I agree that McAdam kicks more goals but I'd argue that Murphy creates more scoring opportunities through his often unheralded work.
I don't have the tech skills to put up a video clip to use as an example but Murphy was 99.9% responsible for Walkers goal early in the game from his snap over his shoulder. (2nd goal??) I think it was a boundary throw in and Murphy was the only Crows player involved and THREE times in about 5 seconds he tried to smother or tackle or take possession. Just before these terrific efforts he had been manhandled to the ground but still bounced up to make the play happen. The ball spilled to Walker who kicked a beauty. When you stop to watch Murph, it's easy to see that he has talents not many of our "star" forwards have. I think he's well in front of Ned and Benny as a pressure player (who plays forward).
Can someone please find this example and post it. Murphy was amazing. Credit where it's due.

McAdam doesn't do SANFL. They'll bring him in for one of Ned/Sholl/Murphy I reckon.
