It shouldn't anyway. He's legitimately our highest ceiling potential mid. The risk to his long term development so far is a lack of experience because injury curtailed his exposure.
How on earth are we doing anything other than just pumping games into him now?
This feels like an injured Lynch as sub move.
They want to play Sloane and Pedlar for a half each only. Plan is to sub Sloane at half time for Pedlar.
What happens when someone else is injured 5 mins into the game? Stuck with Sloane for the whole game.

Just bizzare changes, Nankers clearly has something and has been really solid for weeks now.
Pedlar, we rest him, his first game back he kicks 2 goals as a small forward and now he's dropped again?
All the while we keep ****ing retaining people like Murphy and Sloane who just do not impact games at all. This has been a ****ing stinking week for the club really.

Clearly Nicks is praying the Geelong Murphy shows up in a crucial game......
Very relieved that Hinge has come up. After watching the Brisbane game again, he could seriously lay claim to being our best player atm. Such a clutch player, reads the play very well, is courageous and obviously has a beautiful kick on him. Could be a smokey to finish top 3 in the B&F behind Dawson and Tex this year I reckon.
Why do people assume our coaches know what they are doing?

Selection, at is core, is in my view very simple.
Whilst there are things that can impact from week to week, you don't go much wrong by doing this:
1. Pick your elites first;
2. Pick your future elites second.
3. Fill in the rest.

Pedlar is the sub isn't he? Which in itself is strange given he was rested the previous week, would have given Murphy that role if he isn't dropped.

Yeah, no you didn't.
People have started pointed to his non-statistical contributions now.
Stats don't matter when it comes to Murphy.

The Adelaide Crows selection committee should be committed. Stupid ****ing fools.
You could certainly ask the question what the development plan is here when Sloane can spend huge periods of time on ball and end the game with 13 disposals and 4 turnovers while Pedlar is stuck forward all day and gets 10 touches and 2 goals and ends up the one dropped, but that would imply there's a development plan in place anymore.
We are fully into "make the 8" territory here and just like the last few weeks where when the game is tight at the end and Schoenberg gets sent out of the middle and is replaced by Sloane, this is all about the continued belief that too much youth will lead to a loss and we simply cannot afford not to have guys like Sloane in the side, regardless of how he actually performs.
The odd thing there is we do have plenty of experience in the midfield, Dawson is C, Matt Crouch has been VC and captained the club for games, Smith, who is now on the wing is in the leadership group, experience in the midfield is not something we're struggling with right now.

Knew after they re-signed Sloane politically they’d have to keen Sloane in, backed themselves into a corner

I can stomach Nank going out. He has been solid but, outside of his debut, not lights out amazing (which is entirely fair enough in your first few games).
But Pedlar can be a damn game breaker and even though he will sub in, it still sends a shit message.

Feels like the good old Mackay nights tonight. 
Had to laugh at the people thinking that we would relegate Sloane to SANFL appearances next year....

And just on Pedlar some more.
He had seven score involvements last week (as part of his 2 goals, one score assist).
Amongst comparable demographic players no one did better, and he consistently averages amongst the best there.

Wow was shocked when I saw the outs. Glad to have Rachele and Rankine into the 22, but very disappointing to see both Pedlar and Nankervis out. Sloane and Murphy should not be in the side before those 2.
Stats only matter to those that need to justify a shit player being selected
