Laird and Hinge both named on the field.

Pendlebury named on extended bench. Keep an eye out for his final selection tomorrow.

 

[Crow till I die]

I was young but I'm sure it was a high profile Sturt player explaining himself to a prominent coach. Did Davies play under Oatey?

He might have just been coming through at the end of Oatey's time - was before my time but my mum's farm backed onto his on Yorke Peninsula and they are around the same age so Davies would have been early 20's at the end of Oatey's time.

 

[spenze]

Reckon that was Devon Malcolm?

Or maybe both of them

it may have been Devon Malcolm

 

[FR0GGY]

The afl fired the sub rule into the sun last time, can we do it again?
Just mucks up the type of young players that need to be playing.
5 on the bench, the end

 

[WaynesWorld19]

I think it would be good for Rankine. Defenders are hanging off him at the moment. Would be good to give him another way to get himself involved in matches.

Agree .....Rankine & especially Rachelle to be given more MID minutes .....will suit the sort of game COLL like to play, quick ball movement ....which doesn't suit Crouch

IMO most likely Schoenberg comes in, because he can play FWD & MID

 

[arsene wenger1]

Rory Laird might miss because of a calf complaint according to twitter reports left training and needs to do captains run or he's out.

Sam Berry or Matty Crouch in?

Crouch for me

 

[spenze]

I was young but I'm sure it was a high profile Sturt player explaining himself to a prominent coach. Did Davies play under Oatey?

Yeah he did and Oatey loved him. Davies was a dead set champ, when he was at his peak I'd have had Ebert ahead of him for influencing outcomes but in 76 ( a game I went to) the GF for the BOG, Sunlight probably took the next 9 spots on the top 10 best players. If they say a player who stands up in finals proves a champ, he was a champ 10 times over because there was no way Port should have lost that match, they were the best team but Davies singlehandedly smashed them. I might be a bit hazy here but in days when a 20 possesion game got you a tag of leather poisoning, I think he had 21 kicks and 22 handballs

 

[spenze]

Crouch for me

Yeah cool, 30 CBAs, no clearances, 10 HTBs.

Sadly, his time passed, if a guy who is an Ex AA is offered with full salary and nobody bites...his time has gone

 

[arsene wenger1]

"someone will go to Daicos", fair enough, but in what role? Run-with? Hard tag? Shake hands and see you later (like Saad)?

Looks like I might have been dead wrong:

Face. Egg.

Chuck rachelle or rankine on him and hurt him the other way maybe

 

[arsene wenger1]

Yeah cool, 30 CBAs, no clearances, 10 HTBs.

Well the question was crouch or Berry and Berry can’t find the ball at the moment

INTERVIEW: James Rahilly - 27 April 2023 - The FIVEAA Sports Show

omny.fm

 

[WeeBlake]

I think it’s too early to write him off

He’s been too anxious this year when playing afl , makes him fumble and miss kicks

At sanfl level he’s had 2 very good games , 2 of the better ones of his career

Don’t drop off just yet

Exactly, he’s still young and inexperienced. He’s at the ‘would be nice if he was further advanced by now but has shown enough not to be panicking or giving up’ stage of his career.

 

[1990crow]

I wouldn't be surprised if Hinge misses by Nicks interview.
Cook?

 

[spenze]

Well the question was crouch or Berry and Berry can’t find the ball at the moment

Neither is an option

 

[ams4crows]

Keays to the middle and Cook and Schoenberg in for Hinge and Laird isn't the worst. Obviously the Laird loss is huge he's our work horse grunt man who wins the hard ball and dishes out to Dawson

 

[Brett Cummings]

I'm not expecting to win if laird is out. We just don't have enough depth in the middle yet.

 

[Rory Walkerfield]

I'm not expecting to win if laird is out. We just don't have enough depth in the middle yet.

Depth will never help cover your best 5 or so players. If anyones depth was that good they wouldn’t be depth!

 

[moogerfooger]

21 kicks, 21 handballs, 15 marks. He went alright in '83 as well.

 

[SellarStardom]

If Laird out, Crouch in
If Hinge out, Cook in
Keys remains forward on Daicos
Either Cook or Schoey as Sub if Hinge is OK, would prefer Cook

 

[jenny61_99]

McHenry from 23rd to not even in the 26

He’s been sub twice. Once good, once bad. Needs a full game in the twos.

 

[Pugsley]

Why are these people not on the official injury list?

Have a lie down.

 

[Bearded Clam]

Crouch needs to be delisted at years end.. giving him games is a complete waste and just further hobbles our rebuild.

Theres a reason we havent got much AFL experience within our midfield depth..

Because for the last 3 years (until about the carlton game in R16 last year) we’d given nearly all the midfield minutes to laird, sloane, keays and crouch..

The solution is not to go back to them. They arent the future. The solution is to give the minutes to our younger lads even if it hurts us a bit.

We need to accept some short term pain for the longer term gain.

The problem wouldnt be as bad if we had’ve weened ourselves off the laird, sloane, crouch, keays combination a lot earlier than we did.

Losing Laird is gonna hurt. Put Sloane in there.. bring Cook in onto the wing to replace sloane in that spot.

Sloane and Dawson is enough experience in the middle. Team them up with rankine, rachele, soligo, pedlar etc..

Dont go backwards to crouch… a bloke who is a delist at years end. Its a total fxxkn waste.

 

[Crows I Am]

Schoenberg has been the biggest disappointment for me. Looked incredible earlier in his career, and just hasn’t progressed much at all. I have a bad feeling he’s just going to be one of those blokes that never quite puts it all together at AFL level, probably win himself a Margarey Medal though.

Berry has been the biggest disappointment for me. Last year he was fantastic and seemed like he was ready to take that next step this year to a genuine A grade mid. From all reports he was training the house down this preseason too. Now he can't even get into the best 22. I am hoping once he can get past whatever injury he has he can get back to the form he had last year.

 

[BACCS]

Keays tells AFL 360 he trained with the mids today due to the Laird doubt.

Makes sense. Feels like Schoenberg would be the most likely in out of those listed then.
