Preview Changes Rd 4 vs Melbourne

[FR0GGY]

If Berry is sub, they have to sub either Crouch or Laird

Yeah right, that would be logical

 

[Afcprophet]

Why can't Nicks see what everyone in the world sees? Laird, Crouch, Dawson don't work. Everyone in the media is saying we're too vanilla. Every poster in here can see it.

Nicks is no doubt going to say after we no doubt lose "we probably got the mix wrong a bit, we'll try to mix it up a bit going forward."

Berry is a poor man's Crouch or Laird. Why is he straight back in? I'd rather he even try Sholl on the ball ffs.

These changes are horrible. Parnell? Why drop Sholl after a reasonably ok performance for someone who is basically the same and had an okay game in the sanfl? I am one of Sholls biggest haters, but Nicks has nfi.

Butts seems to be perennially injured, with some kind of small niggle, another week off could have done him wonders. Borlase isn't much worse if at all. I bet Butts will have some kind of injury in the first 3 quarters, and will play on injured or be subbed out. Another game lost at selection before it even began.


Sack Nicks.

 

[Vladdy Daddy]

Didn’t Berry play a tagging role first half against GC? Maybe they’re going try to shut down a Melb mid.

Will Parnell, Berry, Dowling. Pedlar etc join these guys?

 

[cleanhands]

Age of Adelaide players when first averaging 20 plus possessions in a season (at any club):

17 Mark Ricciuto

19 Brad Crouch

20 Matt Crouch

21 Rory Laird

22 Patrick Dangerfield

23 Simon Goodwin

24 Kane Johnson

Will Parnell, Berry, Dowling. Pedlar etc join these guys?

I need some cheering up what’s our winning margin this week?

 

[GreyCrow]

The data says

 

[King Elvis]

The scholl one I'm finding most hilarious. I'm not sad he's dropped, because he's absolutely useless. But more the fact we felt we needed to bring him back in "one more time".... Someone needs to step in and end this clown show.

So stupid, yet do predictable.

We've operated this peripheral player merry go round for the last 5 years - it is moronic, devoid of any long term planning and developmental focus.

We're a shit football Club.

 

[cleanhands]

We're a s**t football Club.

You know we have a thread for this kinda talk

 

[BigBoSS_Riot]

Didn’t Berry play a tagging role first half against GC? Maybe they’re going try to shut down a Melb mid.

Who would he have been on?

In that first half, Flanders had 22 disposals, Anderson had 20 (and 4 clearances), Miller had 16 and 4, Rowell had 13 and 4.

Not exactly a significant negation.

 

[maxlilly]

Ok. So I’m no fan of Sholl and he wouldn’t make my side in the first place. But how does he get dropped before the likes of Smith get the arse?

And he has been better than Jones

 

[maxlilly]

I hope Nankervis and Cook can actually be given an extended run at it in the AFL side. We need to get a proper look at their game against top level opposition.

Walker continuing to play (despite clearly being injured) and Smith still not being dropped is a concern.

Berry over Dowling says everything that'll ever need to be said about this club.

Hoping Nankervis plays wing and Cook the HFF.
And as you say, stick with these guys for 3-4 weeks to see how they go

 

[feenix67]

Dowling wins the SANFL game off his own boot, not in.

Especially with Berry in instead.


Cook and Nank in is good.

And Walters exposed our lack of a proper small defender last week. Parnell kind of makes sense as he is our small defender depth chart.


But no Dowling, that's ****ed.

I think Billie might be a bit sore.

Love the drop Berry for form, don't play him in the Twos then bring him back in. Probably followed by the sub vest and 20% game time.

Never change Adelaide.

 

[George Kramer]

Now if Nicks really is against Dowling because he’s another accumulator, well then that surely means Lairds out of the midfield right?

Berrys selection makes sense in light of this, he doesn’t get the ball

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

If Berry is sub, they have to sub either Crouch or Laird

Unless we play Laird in defence.

We could line them up like...

B: Parnell, Butts, Keane
HB: Michaelanny, Worrell, Laird
C: Nankervis, Crouch, Jones
HF: McHenry, Walker, Keays
F: Rankine, Fogarty, Cook
R: O’Brien, Dawson, Soligo
I: Hinge, Rachele, Smith, Burgess
Sub: Berry

 

[UcantCme]

Shill should never be selected again

he’s been dropped to many times in recent seasons

[UcantCme]

how does Berry play before Dowling ?


On iPhone using BigFooty.com mobile app

 

[maxlilly]

May rushes back into the side because he sniffs some Brownlow votes. Stewart got them, Pearce got them. Go on Stevey, help yourself.

He would still be fitter than Walker

 

[1990crow]

There are definitely worse clubs than us out there but none that are dumber or more cowardly

Who are these worse clubs.

 

[Vladdy Daddy]

Who would he have been on?

In that first half, Flanders had 22 disposals, Anderson had 20 (and 4 clearances), Miller had 16 and 4, Rowell had 13 and 4.

Not exactly a significant negation.

I think commentary indicated Rowell maybe up until half way through the second.

 

[MrBarry]

I think he bought Berry in just to shove it up the media criticism

How does bringing Berry back, 'shove it up the media'....?

 

[Eagleboy2011]

If Berry is sub, they have to sub either Crouch or Laird

Sub has to be McHenry. We can't hide him as a starter in a match like this. Comes on 4th 1/4.

 

[cleanhands]

How does bringing Berry back, 'shove it up the media'....?

To prove having our treacle mid can work

 

[Grooster24]

Rowey summed it up well on AA. Peds has been 'played out of form'.

Just Pedlar?!? The whole team has been played out of form!

 

[n4sir]

Nicks will be lucky to make our bye.

We (the supporters) aren't that lucky.

 

[Drummond]

No Dowling. But Berry instead.

Hope yet again we get absolutely flogged.
